Even though I don't think I will be

I need to rule it out

I've had another thread about changes in my breasts, but only got a couple of responses which all seem to suggest needing to rule out bfp

So I am 26, I have 3 dc, I am on the depo injection

My boobs are all tingly on and off and have been for 4-6 weeks

I had thought possibly ageing and changing breast tissue or side affect of injection but wise Mners seem to think I need to rule out bfp

I don't think I am pregnant because -
I am not sick, I am a very sick pregnant person
In previous pregnancies I have always "known"
We hardly ever dtd!

Right, hand hold if you need it.
Have you a stick to pee on? Can you get one if not?
Focus on the pee bit first then you can think about what happens next If you need to.

No I have to buy one without anyone I see knowing

That could be interesting

Oh god, stealth stick buying. Get a basket, put a magazine in and put the box under that. Should hide it until you get to the till at least.

Depo used to play havoc with my boobs. They would go super painful, enlarge or shrink of their own accord and just generally feel odd.

It was the main reason I came off the jab. It got unbearable wearing bras so decided enough was enough.

You should still poas just to be certain but wanted to let you know it can be a depo side effect. Good luck with stealth stick buying and I hope you get the result you want.

If you can wait a couple more days I ordered some pregnancy tests from amazon. Really cheap 5 for £2.80 I think, they arrived within a couple of days And really discrete packaging.
Im nearly 30 and think buying a pregnancy test is the most embarrassing thing ever!
Good luck hope you get the result you want

Unless you know someone who works there, just pay at the normal checkout. They won't fuss or anything. Make sure you buy normal stuff to so your DP does't wonder about your trip to Tesco!

And choose digital so you don't have the uncertainty of a faint line.

I order off Amazon for discreet POASing.

But maybe a false mustache and a big scarf/sunglasses?
