Name changed for this.
AF is over a week late ! Im eating like an absolute horse when i usually have no appetite at all and im getting on/off tummy ache but it doesn't feel like the usual AF symptoms which are quite strong Hmm
Im driving myself mad and not wanting to fork out £10 for a test if AF is going to show up in the next few days anyway
Im so confused Blush

You can buy two tests for £1 in poundland/home bargains type places.

I drink a huge amount of water and pee a lot though so won't the hormones be weaker ? My fertility doctor told me to do them first thing on a morning because i drink so much
That was about 3 years ago though when we first started TTC

You can do one any time of day if AF is late, if you are, at a week late you should get an obvious BFP x

I've only ever used clear blue after my bad luck with the internet ones I'll try the supermarket brand and do one tomorrow morning

Just to add- Tescos worked fine for me in the past!

I have never paid out more than £3.50 or something for a double pack.
Normally I buy the Internet cheapies!

I'll go to asda after work and see if they have any.
Im still confused though i had a MC last year and we stopped TTC after that so this has just come out of the blue and we've only DTD twice since my last AF about 5-6 weeks ago
We spent so long TTC before it seems crazy that it could have just happened by itself without trying

Go to a supermarket like Tesco and they have a pack of 2 pregnancy tests for around £5 or less.

All PTs are the same in the sense they test for exactly the same hormone.
Differences are in those ones that are much more sensitive and can pick up much lower levels of beta-HcG

Good luck!

I've tried those in the past and they didn't work at all Confused the lines never appeared according to the package they were duds and i don't have eBay/Amazon anymore to order things like that in

Buy some of the of online cheapie test strips, they're a couple of pounds for two or three and will be with you in a couple of days.
