I think period is 3-4 days late - not sure as dd is only 10 months & my periods only restarted 3 months ago & have been slightly irregular.

Bought a 2 pack of Boots tests & did one in cafe toilet because I couldn't wait till I got home. There was the faintest blue vertical line, but decided I was imagining things. Both previous pregnancies obvious +ve results.

Stuck the test back in its wrapper & in my bag because I really wasn't sure. Over the next half hour a still faint, but definite line developed - BUT now I've read that you can get a false +ve if it's more than 10 minutes since you did the test?

...should I hold off doing the other test from the pack till the morning? Not sure I can!

Yep. It's on the shelf in front of me shouting 'Wee on me! You know you want to!'

Yeah it's a pain but like Rhino said, wee is strongest first thing in the morning so might have more of a chance of being positive.

Have you got another test?

I know, I know. I just feel such a berk.

First I ring dh 'I've done a test, but I'm pretty sure it's -ve. Can you remember when I was on last?'...

...then I ring him back 'Oooh, it's gone blue now!'

Poor sod arrives home in a state of shellshock at the prospect of #3, only to be greeted by me telling him 'Well, it says on t'internet that's not actually a valid result...'

Not that it wouldn't be lovely - it's just that I won't sleep for not blooming knowing now!

I would wait until the morning but would also think if there was a line when you first tested, regardless of how faint it was, then you probably are pg.

yes I would (well I would think its the right thing to do but might not be able to wait)

the hormones it picks up more present in your first moring pee so if you can I would wait
