I hate waiting!

I'm new to the site, but needed someone to talk with. I don't want to get my family involved until I know for sure that I am pregnant. My husband and I decided to give it a try the morning of January 1st. This was 3 full days past ovulation (according to the average). My husband was sure that did the job, so we're testing his theory and haven't had intercourse since that ONE time. I have had major fatigue, several trips to the bathroom during the work day (which is VERY rare for me to have to take), slight tenderness of the breasts starting today. I bought of diarrhea yesterday... and all in all just feels like my overall body is focused on my tummy area. My dogs are even laying on my tummy, something they never do. I know the "odds" are against me only having the one time, but I just have a feeling it worked and that I'm pregnant. Am I crazy? I can take a test on Wednesday, the day my period is due. Oh, and by the way, my periods over the last six months have been very heavy and long - 7 days, sometimes even 10 days, so I'm not sure if that would push my ovulation date further than the average 14 days. My last cycle was a full 7 days. oh - I'm 36 years old. Thoughts?

Hi! OMG I had sex on NYE and I am feeling the same way... I get chills feel exhausted been peeing like crazy.. My abdomen hurts and all that.. I bought a clear blue preg test today and came out positive!
Maybe if u do too your hcg might already be present! Good luck!

Ohh btw clear blue can detect the preg hormone from 5 days before your AF.

It was faint but I think hcg is present between 6 and 10 days after ovulation that's when implantation happens I think.. or something like that u can read it in the calculator.
