Am I pregnant?

I miscarried in October but with that pregnancy I didn’t find out untill I was 12weeks gone ( I was on the pill and not ttc). Myself and my partner are now TTC and my periods now 3 days late.
What symptoms or signs could I look out for if I am pregnant?
What do people think are the best pregnancy tests to use ?

I’m so nervous about testing and it being negative

Clear blue, the one which you can take even if your a few days late.
I took it, became positive instantly xx

So sorry for your loss 💐

First Response Early Response (FRER) are widely regarded as the most sensitive. These will pick up pregnancy up to 6 days before a missed period. You can get them at a good price on amazon :)

Symptom spotting is tricky, as not everyone has symptoms and quite often “early symptoms” are just pre-period symptoms anyway.

For me, however, an excess of cervical mucus and saliva were my biggest clues.

Fingers crossed for you :)

So took a clear blue test and it was inconclusive no control line or anything else. The first response early response is negative. 4 days late and still no period. Still have bad cramps and I think my nipples are darker but not 100% will try again in a few days. Dee7409 have you tested yet ? Xx

So after the clear blue came up with nothing I’ve got upstairs and there now a faint positive and a line in the control window. After 10mins earlier there was no control line at all......could I still be pregnant? Or am I getting my hopes up ? Xx

Don’t give up, I was told the beginning of September I couldn’t have children after having an mri for something diffrent. They told me they could see something in my womb and that would prevent it. I found out I was pregnant mid October......I was 12-13 weeks. The thing they could see on the mri was my baby i was 6-7 weeks from what the specialist says. ( unfortunately i mc) So there is hope, i hope you get yor bfp soon xxxx
