I'm not even late yet but I feel pregnant, you know? My boobs are so sore to touch, seem somewhat larger, I've had a few twingey stomach cramps and I have an on and off splitting head ache, that's the extent of any symptoms I may have and I'm not even sure if I'm just making them up.

Its 6 days before my period is due and I have one first response test which says it works up to 6 days before (although only 62% of the time, with the percentage getting better closer to when your period is due)

So basically after all that rambling do I sound pregnant? And should I take the test tomorrow even with there being a 40% chance it could give me a false negative?
Any advice or kind words will be much appreciated x

Symptoms of pregnancy are so similar to pmt - so frustrating! Also the first response although mega accurate and good at detecting early pregnancy don't always work the same for everyone as the amount of hcg varies from woman to woman. So it's really up to you - if you do it and its negative that doesn't mean your not pregnant and you will probably want to test again - everyday if your like me and a POAS addict. first response by the way are on buy one get one free at the moment in Boots - so pee away!! Good luck x

I got a bfn, kicking myself now that I couldn't just hold on a few more days as that was my last one and really don't want to waste any more money, only time will tell I guess x

Ooh we're in exactly the same boat! Due on the 23rd right?
Are you as obsessed with symptom spotting as I am? Everything my body does or doesn't do is a sign that I must be pregnant, it's a nightmare!

Ha ha yes due 23rd and I am symptom spotting all the time - I can't help it. Got sore boobs but I sometimes get them with pmt and every little twinge or ANYTHING I keep thinking ooh I wonder - it's awful. I want to be positive but then I don't want to build myself up because that disappointment when AF shows up is horrible. We can wait it out together! I have 2 first response tests in my drawer and its gonna take a lot of willpower not to use them for a couple of days! Fingers crossed for both of us! x

Ooh good, I have my fingers crossed for both of us. I've completely convinced myself I am, which is a recipe for disaster!

Since December so not too long but I have two DS already and they were pretty much conceived straight away on first try so was hoping for same thing to happen again. How about you? x

Aw that's not too bad
Well I'm not, me and my partner were a bit silly with contraception at the begining of the month, turns out I was ovulating at that time, and I've come to quite like the idea that I could be pregnant. It would be very lucky if I was after one month though!x

No we are definitely still in with a chance! Today I've been going back to my stick and keep willing a pink line to appear but nothing. Keep feeling like I am building myself up for a massive disappointment but can't help it. It's amazing how your mind works when you want something so much isn't it? x

Wish I could just know now:( let me know of any developments!x

Oooh girls, I've got my fingers crossed for you both!
I'm in the same situation - first month we've tried and AF due next Sunday(30th). Can't think of anything else. Also symptom spotting - although anything I notice is probably imaginary right now. aaargh!
