Hello everyone. I am a 26 year old professional who is engaged to be married in February to my high school sweetheart. I am now 5 days late with my period - which hasn't happened since I was 17. I realize it's very possible that my late period means absolutely nothing, but my fiance and I are on edge that it means pregnancy. I have a few slight symptoms, but they are pretty close to things I experience during my period. For instance, my breasts are tender and sore - but they are always like that right before I get my period. The only other symptom I'm noticing is a strange sensation in my lower abdomen. It is very slight, crampy feeling. Not as bad as normal period cramps...almost like a tingling/burning sensation but not really painful at all. Just kind of there. Other than that, all seems normal.
I plan on getting a HPT tomorrow, although I would rather kind of ignore the situation for just a little while!! (Fiance is against ignoring it for obvious reasons!) Anyway, we hadn't planned on starting a family until after our 1st year of marriage and although I may seem flip about all of this, if I am pregnant, the baby will be loved and adored by both of us and our families. I'm 26 and fretting over what my mom and dad will say and how disappointed they will be.
Has anyone ever experienced this burning/light crampy sensation during their early weeks of pregnancy? Or, has anyone been in a similar situation?
