i dont know if i am in the right place as i have not been trying for a baby, but didnt know where else to put it and thought you ladies would be best suited to answer my question.
i came off the pill in october as we were going to ttc this april, but home life has not gone as planned, we still live wiht parents after failing to get planning permission to build a home nad are still in limbo as to where we will be living so have been using condoms ever since. i am religious about using them as i was scared of getting pg at the wrong time and messing up my future plans.

however we did have one slpit(but it was right at the beginning of sex so i didnt think anything to it) i am not niaeve (s?) but really didnt think it would matter, or be any sperm there.

BUT my the end of my last period was 6 weeks ago ! i started to wonder if i was pg so did a test( albeit a twin pack of the lint strip type ones £1.94 form wilko as i didnt think i would be needing them and af would come anyway)

that was negative on wednesday.

all of my periods since oct have been 4-5 weeks inbetween, i have never been this long. i have not been particularily worried or stressed about it so dont tihnk its that affecvting it, if i am then i am.

so do you think it is just my periods messing about, or should i get a better test and do another? i am going to use the other cheapo test tomorrow morning, see what that says. if it says negative i will buy a proper one to be doubly sure.

Oh and FYI, the tests are generally the same, they use the lint ones in hospitals!
The early detecion ones prob pick up better but prob better to wait than waste cash!?!

Says me, i'm sure I couldn't tho

My periods are well messed up after coming off the pill - sometimes on time, sometimes over a week late! Bit scary!
