Hello, this is my first time posting on here. I am 38 and have 2 children already. We had an accident the other night where DH didn't realise the condom had slipped off and he had finished. So I know some went in (TMI sorry).

I am not great with my dates. I think I started my period around the 22nd January and only had one heavy day, the rest I could just use a pad. This has been happening for a few months. My cycles have also been varying a little in length, going to the shorter side of 28 days..... We dtd on about CD7 and on CD9 and 10 I had EWCM that then went away, totally dry since (which is also unusual, I usually have some discharge all month, so that I've needed a pad to keep fresh).

On this Saturday CD14 I started getting crampy and I thought maybe that was OV but it hasn't stopped today is CD17. It's sort of like mild AF cramps and a heavy feeling low in my abdomen and in my lower back. Yesterday I started feeling nauseous and actually dry retched a few times in the day. Appetite gone. Have constant nausea today. Noone else has a bug in the family. I have been getting headaches too.

I don't think I'm due til about the 19th and if I OV on CD10/11 I would be 7/8DPO. Surely this is way too early to get any symptoms? I am not ttc and would be happy either way, I'd just forgotten how frustrating the 2ww is! With my last pregnancy, I had a feeling and was right 1st cycle and I have that feeling again.

I am open to all opinions - even if it is 'stop being a silly woman and get on with your life!' Has anyone else had similar symptoms and been pregnant? I am also rather bloated and gassy both ends which also makes me wonder if the crampy feeling (although just like AF) is just gas?!!!! Arrrggggghhhh as you can tell I'm driving myself potty! Even my DH mentions it at least 5 times a day!! I keep telling him we have to wait until at least a couple of days before AF due......if she doesn't come before....

Sorry for my ramble and thanks for any comments
