I think I got pregnant on accident...while TTC

By bakingAbug May 20, 2014

I feel so conflicted. We are in-between TTC and Pre-TTC.
We are charting and actively starting to TTC in June after our BIG family trip to Vegas. I think I may have gotten pregnant though without the planning or the meds :shocked: . Darn you sleepy sex right in the beginning of the fertile peak!!! It was a magical night but when you are half asleep you don't always think of what is going on :heart:

With Bug, I was really low in progesterone and needed supplements to get pregnant. It's can't have been this easy....I am nervous and kinda scared.

I so want to lounge by the pool in Vegas sipping on some tasty martinis and dance all night with my cousins at the clubs. If I am with child, I'm worried I'll be constantly peeing, napping, and trying not to feel nauseous! I'm off to go buy a test at lunch but can someone please help me feel excited if I am pregnant or make me feel not so sad if I am not?

I don't have any IRL people to talk to right now. My DH is dying for us to have another baby and my family is too. As for my friends, I'm not ready to really share this with anyone. I really feel scared and unsure. My last pregnancy was perfect but the effects from my c-section were traumatic and I don't think I've processed another pregnancy yet.

You think you got pregnant? I wouldn't worry about any of this until you know. Good luck either way! Once you know, I think you'll be able to better process it.

Hang in there! Pregnancy is almost never 100% ideal! I am sure you'll be able to work it out- let us know! We're here for you!!!

While it is kind of a bummer to miss out on the drinks and whatnot, you may have a little baby in you! If you are pregnant on your trip, you can still lounge by the pool, though you may fall asleep. And you can go dancing, or you may not. The point is if you are not pregnant, you will go on this great trip. If you are pregnant, you will still go on a great trip, just not so alcoholy.

What makes you think you are pregnant?

You will still have a great trip to Vegas, don't worry! Everything happens for a reason - it's cliche, but always seems to be true. It sounds like your trip is any day now, right? Think of it as a celebration of your exciting news (assuming your pregnant) and a great opportunity to sleep by the pool and enjoy fine dining (you aren't spending money on alcohol, after all ). Good luck either way!

Your thread title made me laugh. I went on a trip at 6 weeks pregnant for a wedding. I was bummed at first but then I saw it as an excuse to sleep in and eat a lot! I think you will have fun either way. Good luck!

Either way, sounds like you've got something to look forward to! Vegas will be fun either way, I promise. Can't wait to hear the results!

Until you get a positive test, there is nothing to worry about! And its not a big deal to start progesterone at the time you get a . So go find yourself a test, and hope for the best

@BakerBee: I am having the early symptoms like sore boobs, back ache and the phantom uterine cramping that leads to nothing. I also just feel off and occasionally nauseous with a keen sense of smell. I'm also a day late on my period.

Is there any reason to think you might be pregnant other than you had sex? If not, I certainly wouldn't worry about it too much. If having sex during fertile week meant instant pregnancy, there wouldn't be as many TTC threads as there are.

Thank you guys for all the support. I really appreciate it.

I took a test at lunch and it came out negative. I'm not sure how I feel about that or if I believe it's a true negative. I guess I will just have to wait for Aunt Flo to visit or wait a few days to take another test.

Your period's not even due yet? There's only a 20% chance you got pregnant, even if all the timing was totally perfect. Don't stress yet!

@Weagle: I chart and am pretty regular. I know that pregnancy is not that easy or quick for many. Myself included. I wouldn't have thought anything of it had I not been late and had pregnancy symptoms like I previously had with my Bug.

@blackbird: I'm actually a day late. I'm just waiting for a definitive answer, be it period or pregnancy test.

@bakingAbug: If you're a day late the test should be pretty accurate. I recommend testing again in the morning with FMU to be absolutely sure.

AH big difference. In that case, I'd definitely test tomorrow

Yep. Planning to do it tomorrow morning. I'm just an anxious planner. The idea of a new baby is growing on me though and dare I say, I'm a teensy bit excited?

At this point, I would KILL to accidentally get pregnant...

I'd probably be willing to cut off one of my own limbs to get accidentally pregnant.

ETA: Good luck, lady! Even pregnant girls have fun in Vegas!

I wish all who wanted to be pregnant could get pregnant whenever they wanted

If I am not accidentally pregnant, I will be joining everyone in June for TTC.

Please do not feel guilty about being conflicted. I, too, was planning to really start ttc in June but figured we would ditch condoms in May just..cause why not. I never in a million years dreamed I would get pregnant so fast. I also wish everyone could get pregnant as quickly or slowly as they wanted but our feelings are just as justified.

I panicked about timing, LO #1, and yea was a little bummed I can finally drink sangria and now I can't! But I'm slowly getting excited. Whatever happens, you will make the most of it

If you're on vacation, then there is a good chance you O'd late. I went on a cruise during my fertile period a while ago and didn't even O until after we got back! (Which was almost a week late)

Update! FMU still negative. No period and the signs are still there. I have a thyroid issue to I need to know ASAP if I am pregnant so I did blood work today. The Dr. Left early though so I have no results. Took another rest this evening and still negative. I'm going to try and put it all out of my mind and maybe have a glass or wine.

I'll report back tomorrow. Has anyone else gotten a ton of BFNs and still been pregnant?

@bakingAbug: ugh so frustrating!

My period was a week late and I was getting bfns still. So I got bloodwork which came back inconclusive so I did a second test three days later. By that time AF was 11 days late! But the second blood test was positive.

@bakingAbug: After being a day late, I tested every other day for a week and all negatives. I finally spotted a little and counted myself out (Sunday). Monday still nothing so I tested again Tuesday and bam...positive. That was 20 weeks ago Good luck!

@hellocupcake: That's wonderful! I wonder what may be making it not pop positive so soon. I'm glad to hear that others are having successful pregnancies after false negative.

I tested about 10 tests that all came back negative. Went to the clinic and the test came back negative there too. They assured me I wasn't pregnant and gave me BC to start immediately taking. I waited and tested again two days after and got a positive.

I didn't, but my mom never had a positive pee test when she was pregnant with me. She had to find a new doctor who would to a blood test, which was positive.

Dr called and the blood test was negative. Not gonna lie, I am kinda bummed. Not sure why my period is late or why I feel so off. If nothing changes by next week I was told to call for an appointment.

Thank you guys for your support and stories. Maybe next week I'll be back with good news

Aw I'm sorry What a bummer! I thought that there might be a very very small possibility recently that I might be pregnant. Even though we are no where near trying again, I have to admit that I was a little disappointed when I started my period.

@Purpledaisy: Yep. Disappointed and a little sad. I'm also confused as to what happened to my period....we chart and I'm pretty sure I o'd. I'm pretty regular these last few months and I was recently tested for PCOS and I don't have it. It's all confusing and makes this planner very anxious.
