Can I test in the evening if AF didn't arrive today?

AF is either screwing with my head or...

I'm usually a regular as clockwork 28 day cycle. Today is day 29. OPK gave me the smiley face and all was good.

If I go to the pharmacy on my way out tonight can I test this evening or do I need to wait until the morning? I so want to know (and have a BFP)!

I'm so sorry Hazy. Best of luck for next time, although I appreciate that doesn't help you feel any better right now. :(

Well I'm out this month as AF has just made an appearance. Feel pretty gutted but obviously not meant to be my month. Best of luck Hanna, I really hope all goes well (& everyone else on here of course!).

It's hard not to worry but try & enjoy it, it's not every day you find out you're pregnant :)

This'll be the first. Just told DH and he is happy but also wary about getting too excited after last time. We've agreed to carry on as normal until the first scan and see how it is then.

Huge congratulations!!

HazyDays81 · 11/03/2017 10:03

Sure will keep you posted. Is this your first or do you already have children? Exciting times :)

Thank you!

Do let us know how it turns out please. We'll be thinking of you.

I was sure it was PMT but think I was trying to prepare myself for the worst. Knew it felt a bit different really but didn't want to get my hopes up.

Congratulations!!! Fantastic news. I think I'll test tomorrow tho have been feeling a bit like I have PMT so AF may just be a bit late. So happy you got a positive! X

BFP!!!!

The line isn't really strong, but it's more than an evap. Will do a second test in the morning as have a pack of two... but looks like I am pregnant!!!

Good luck Hazy. Are you going to test or hold out for a bit?

NaturWilde · 11/03/2017 07:56

Good luck to you too Hazy

HazyDays81 · 11/03/2017 07:53

Thanks Hanna. Let us know when you test, fingers crossed for you! AF hasn't shown up for me yet so quietly hoping!

NaturWilde · 11/03/2017 07:39

My boobs were exactly the same around the time of my missed period!

Fingers crossed for you!

NiceCuppaTeaAndASitDown · 11/03/2017 06:41

Good luck Hanna!
I hope you get your BFP

No AF this morning and boobs are hot, heavy and hard....

Sorry about your chemicals Hazy. That is really harsh and I'm sad you've had to go through that.

Yep. In the early days I always got stronger lines in the evening. The FMU thing is a bit of a myth. Once its positive, its positive no matter what time of day.

HazyDays81 · 10/03/2017 20:36

I think I'll test on Sunday is no AF (cycle day 31) unless AF arrives. I've also had 2 chemicals in the last 6 months. So cruel to get a BFP & days later you're not pregnant :(

By the time I got until town the pharmacy was shut. So if no AF in the morning then I will see if I can get into town for a test.

However, I'm feeling a bit like Hazy - should I just leave it a bit in case I'm just late. Also, I had a chemical mc back in Dec 15 so wondering if it's best just not to know.

Argh!

I was really disappointed last month when I did a test & got a BFN. I'd rather wait a bit longer & then the hope is still there that it might be a BFP. Do let us know!

3boys3dogshelp · 10/03/2017 18:27

If you are already late you may well get a positive even at night. No way I could wait til the morning!!

ToDuk · 10/03/2017 18:26

Buy two tests. Test now and then again in the morning when your wee is stronger.

passmethewine123 · 10/03/2017 18:24

If your period is late then in theory it will show day or night. That said, if you test and don't get a positive I wouldn't rule it out!

NaturWilde · 10/03/2017 18:22

I think it would show!
