    Can't work it out....long story....

    Hi all,
    Apologies first if I am posting in the wrong forum - I'm not quite sure where I fit in

    I'm married with a 4 year old daughter. DH is not overly keen on another and I am neither a yes or a no to be honest.

    Well, I made a decision to stop the BCP for skin problems (DH was aware of this) and the plan was to abstain (ha ha!) while I worked out if BCP was an issue for my skin. Well we BD'd once after a drunken night out and then again a couple of days later (not drunk so no excuse!). The week prior to BD, I had ovulation pains the whole week. 6 nights after the first BD I started getting AF like cramps. I have now had them since Friday night and I'm freaking out I might be pregnant!! I have no other symptoms and I'm kind of hoping I'm not (timing not that great for a variety of reasons).
    I'm looking to see if anyone experienced something similar and got a
    Hard to tell what CD I'm on but judging from O pains, I reckon I may have O'd weekend of the 4th Dec. If I don't get AF soon, when should I test?
    Thanks heaps in advance, this is such an awesome forum and I was never off it when we were TTC #1 so I knew it would be the first place to ask for advice in this situation

    I would say wait another week and if no AF test then. Any earlier and a BFN will leave you wondering if you just tested too early. I hope you get the result you want
