Pregnant?

Britt D.

I was supposed to start my period on Tuesday, but I'm currently 5 days late... I've never been this late since I started my period in 6th grade.  I thought it might be stress, although I have had cramping on and off like I was about to start, but obviously haven't.  This might be TMI, but I've also had what I think might be clear/watery CM.  As the week has gone on, the cramping and CM have tapered off, but are still there slightly.  I'm hesitant to test, b/c I don't want to get my hopes up...  My husband and I have talked about starting a family in the next year (we've been married for 3 yrs), so I've already started my prenatal vitamins.  I also haven't had any glaring symptoms... at least to me.  I'm graduating w/ my BS in Communication Sciences and Disorders next Friday, so this would be an amazing surprise.  Should I wait a few more days?  The indecision is killing me!

If you believe you are having pregnancy symptoms or if you are 5 days late, a test would come up positive. Take a test!

Take a test. You could have just ovulated later than you think and that's why your period is "late".

If you weren't really "trying" to get pregnant then I imagine he'll be surprised no matter how or when you tell him.  So go put the stick in his face like (most of) the rest of us did and tell him.  Congrats

I'm having similar symptoms and mine is 2 days late which never happens. I'm a regular 28 day on the dot girl. Like you I don't want to get my hopes up so I'm waiting til Saturday.

Even if you're trying, I'm imaging it would still be a surprise when it happens.

we were both definitely surprised and have been in somewhat of a state of shock since sunday... but more than anything we're incredibly excited!  i really wanted to tell him in a special way but i couldn't hold it in, lol! when he got home that afternoon, i asked him if he could keep a secret.  jokingly, he said, 'you're pregnant.' and i go, 'yeah'.  his face was priceless!!! i'm so glad i decided to go ahead and test b/c i wanted to know one way or the other and i finally got that peace.  i will say, i did a double check when i saw the two lines!
