    Mind Games?

    Hi, I have never posted on a forum before and was hoping for some guidance!

    First time TTC, into our second month. Over the last two weeks or so I have had a really dry mouth so I am constantly drinking and have felt pretty tired (kind of like when you have the flu, minus the flu if that makes sense). I have also had cramping in my lower back on and off and today it feels like there is a pressure in my pelvis/lower stomach. I took a test today and had a really faint line showing a BFP. I suspect I probably ovulated around the 15th as that was when I had cramping in my lower back and like a pain in the left side of my pelvis. I was expecting AF around the 5th Feb and my cycle is probably around 35 days at a guess. Maybe about 5DPO I felt some cramping in my pelvis and thats when the dry mouth/tiredness started.

    I guess I am just wondering what people think as I really don't know what to expect. My first month off after taking the pill after about 15 years was horrid and I was totally not prepared for it, not sure if it would be just my body still adjusting and playing tricks on me! Anyways, would love to know what you think!

    I think you are pg, congratulations! It is probably really early still, hence the feint + test. Also when did you test was it first thing in the morning with first morning urine (FMU)? I'd book into your GP to confirm it via a blood test. Best of luck

    As they say - a positive is a positive! All sounds very promising! As Rhi says, try another test and then book in with your GP! Very exciting!

    Thanks guys - I took another test (one of those digital ones) and it came back pregnant 1-2 weeks which is pretty exciting! So, off to the doctors tomorrow!

    Thanks again!
