Possible pregnancy .. anxious

Bekah

***UPDATE**

I was supposed to begin my period today - I did not. Though I do have some mild (brownish) spotting. It’s been very minimal. I did take a pregnancy test but it resulted in a, almost instant, negative. Anyone have any advice? I’m going to take one more test tomorrow morning as soon as I wake up, and also call my doctor to schedule an appointment. I’ve never missed a period, and my cycle is very regular.

———————————————————————————————————

Hi all! Recently, my partner and I had unprotected sex for the first time (I got off bc awhile ago but we used alternative precautions up until almost 9 days ago). We’re not intentionally trying to get pregnant, but we would love it if it could happen for us.

Would anyone be willing to share their pregnancy stories with me? I’m quite anxious (excited) and think I may need some peace of mind and good thoughts. I’ve taken two tests (I know - it’s too early🙄) but a part of me thinks I’ll be one of the few that receives a positive early on. I feel I’ve been having mild symptoms, but they wax and wane.

A few days after having sex, I had mild cramps- didn’t last long though. About a day ago, my sense of smell was wildly heightened- which lasted about a night. My period is set to begin in 4 days and my breasts aren’t as swollen as they tend to get 4-5 days before my period. They feel a bit as if they’re bruised on the outsides, though. Other than that, I’ve been extremely tired, off and on. From past experience, what do you guys think? I totally understand this could be too early. I’m just v impatient + anxious 😬 and I just love my man so much I can’t wait to have a baby with him!

I’d love to start a discussion and hear everyone else’s input!! Thanks for reading :)
