I guess I'm looking for thoughts more than anything. I don't think I am pregnant, there were a couple moments I questioned it though. And that in itself, is what I'm wondering about, I have extensively searched my questions and I find a lot of conflicting things.
Background: I'm 35, cycle is normally 25-26 days. So I know my chances are lower anyways probably with age, I don't openly like track ovulation...but I do know an approximate ovulation due to headaches/bloodwork.
Cycle started April 7 lasted til about April 10. We had sex, unprotected, went in me (tmi), April 12. Yes, I know sperm can live, just seems unlikely (don't at me over this in a mean way - I know it's possible).
Think* ovulation was earlier than expected around April 16/19 (probably the middle of that) (obviously not guaranteed). Had sex, unprotected, pullout - not always reliable we know (again tmi), April 19.
I haven't thought much on it, BUT then little weird things keep happening. It has been alongggg time since I was pregnant.. I did test, but it is negative. I don't think I was able to test positive until days after missed period years ago. But I always thought if you had even one symptom, you'd test postive (this may not be true). And in reality all of my "symptoms" can be associated to something with PMS (even though I have never had them before - it doesn't mean this cycle I wouldn't).
April 23 (Thursday Night) for about an hour and a half I had these like mild cramps really really low right in the middle pelvic area like a dull ache. Seems to early for implantation, but it crossed my mind. I blew it off.
April 24 I started craving jalapeños (I don't even like spicy things)...like I went out and bought a large glass jar of sliced jalapeños and have been eating them not only with almost every meal since then, I just want them, like walking by the fridge and reach in with a fork to get one type of deal.. Again, still blowing this off as just some weird progesterone thing going on.
Last night April 28, I got out of the shower and again tmi, but my boobs caught me off gaurd in the mirror, like double take, and my areola is HUGE with mini itty bitty bumps (don't think it's darker thoguht) - this is the one that got me thinking like hold on a second what is this, it took me back in time to my first pregnancies. But isn't it also possible before period, I found conflicting things, so maybe someone actually has a personal thing with this one...
The other day while cleaning, I also had nipple tenderness, but just assumed maybe my shirt hit me wrong (idk, its happened a few times, but because it isn't persistent, didn't question it, til now).
Now today, I am cramping like crazy, which I don't even get until and only on day 1 of period.
Obviously I know I have to wait to see if my period comes (4 days out)... but was curious on to thoughts from others on it. (nice and not mean would prefer, haha)
