And hands, and toilet blush

Was quite desperate for a wee and it just sort of gushed out!

It is showing positive. I am shaking!!

I don;t think you;d get a false +ve from too much wee grin

. So I'd say you were pg...

And if I am pregnant how on earth do I know how pregnant I am when I haven't had a period since January?!!

By RubyRioja on Mon 12-May-08 11:57:25

You sound pg to me!

By iwouldgoouttonight on Mon 12-May-08 11:57:38

OMG!!!!

Time for a dating scan - and a hand wash grin

By EffiePerine on Mon 12-May-08 11:58:17

you can have a dating scan if you're not certain of your dates

NO idea when my last period was so I only have a rough idea when this one is due grin

I did a test on Friday and it was negative and now this one is positive, so I'm guessing I'm only just pregnant.

ring your gp and get an appointment with your mw

...and another test - pee in a glass this time - i've given up trying to POAS I always miss. it's straight in a pint glass/jug - then if I want to test again with FMU I still have it grin

(sorry if TMI).

I can't quite believe this. I posted the other day about having PCOS and not having periods for ages - had coil out about six weeks ago - haven't had a period since. How can this be?? I thought it would take months!

Just phoned doctor - they can't fit me in today. I'm just all of a tiss!

By cosima on Mon 12-May-08 12:01:21

surely no one would design a pregnancy test that required such accurate weeing

By cardy on Mon 12-May-08 12:02:01

do another test later

By iwouldgoouttonight on Mon 12-May-08 12:02:40

It did say in the instructions to make sure you don't get wee on the rest of the stick, although it does look quite watertight to me.

my friend a nurse told me there is no such thing as a false postive. The only thing that can make that second line is the hcg hormone and thats only caused by pregnancy smile

good luck

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
