Am 11 days late. Used a Clearblue test on Tuesday (got a neg) but still no af so used the 2nd test today - immediately got a neg but then the test never finished by giving the second line. Lady on helpline says that the test is thus unreliable and I need to test again. Can't be bothered to go and waste more money on tests which will probably come up neg so will wait till next week and see if my af arrives.
Can't believe I screwed up something as simple as a pregnancy test! Apparently I should have held it flat but I held it vertically. Really wanted to know because am going out tonight and don't want to have to abstain from wine if not pregnant. So annoying!

Do you have a lloyds farmacy nearby? If you take in a urine sample they'll test it for you, not free but costs only 6 quid compared to clearblue which cost anything between 8/12 depending on whether you buy digital or not.

To be honest I don't think I am pg - absolutely no symptoms other than a bit more tired than usual (but I'm blaming that on the dog).

My gp is just round the corner but I haven't got time to wait around for appointment (am house training puppy!).

Takes 5 days at our doctors. Think cupcakes was after something closer to 5 minutes!

Fingers crossed you are Cupcakes. Bummer about the test though.
