What do you think....possibly pregnant, or no?

Question

I know people ask these questions ALL the time....I'm usually a "wait and test" kinda girl....but I just thought I'd see what some of you thought. Here are my symptoms.

7DPO: I had some mild cramping on my right side, which is the side I had ovulation cramps on...actually these felt the same, just milder.

8DPO: More cramping

9-11DPO: I wouldn't call it cramping, but I've felt tight, kinda contracted....not really uncomfortable though.

12DPO (today): I've had what feels like bad menstrual cramps. I have a 13-14 day luteal phase, so I know AF should be here in a couple of days, but I've always had cramps the day before or day of AF, never this far before.

Also, my b*****s have been very sore to the touch since about 8 or 9DPO....I get tender b*****s during AF, but never really before.

My CM hasn't been really noticeable as far as color/texture, but I've just felt really wet. A couple of times today I was sure I had AF, but no.

I've been charting my BBT....but this month has been absolutely crazy. I went on vacation right before ovulation and forgot my thermometer, so I think that really messed it up. I actually did the manual override w/my FertilityFriend calendar, because I had the ovulation pains/positive OPKs/EWCM/fertility monitor days before FF said I ovulated....I think missing those several days before messed it up.

My temp dipped way down today....I've read that that is a sign of upcoming AF (like your temp drops the day of or before AF?), or it can just be random...I don't know what to think. If I get AF now, it'll definitely be early....I just don't know. I've been testing daily since 8DPO and all BFNs...AAGGGHHH. Any thoughts? I'd appreciate any opinions!

Here's my weird crazy chart this month

Answer 1

Hi -- thanks for the email.

So, it does look like AF is on her way because you went right down below your coverline. With the OPK and temp trend I would say that Ov was definitely on CD18.

Anyway, if you're cramping then I suspect you might get AF soon. I would hold off on testing for another two days or so, and see what happens. It's hard to do, but saves you the pain of more BFNs. Good luck!

It is possible that you could be pregnant.  But at the same time, you were just on vacation and changes in daily activity can cause changes in your body.  You know did you do anything more strenous on your vacation that you would normally do.  It is possible that this could have thrown your body for a loop.  I just had a conversation with my obgyn about this because I am ttc for about a year and a half now and he told me sudden changes to what your body is used to can throw it out of wack until you are back to what your body is used too. I wish you the best though!!
