Am I Pregnant???

I know there are lots of other threads about this but can anyone tell me if I'm pregnant. My period is normally due on a certain date each month as opposed to a number of days cycle. It normally comes on the last day of the month but because Feb was short it came on 28 and then March was a bit wonky and it came on 28 again.

I have therefore been expecting to see some signs that I'm going to have it for days now and have so far done 5 pregnancy tests which all say I am pregnant with absolutely no hint of a maybe in sight.

I still don't have it. I don't want to jinx it as I am desperate to be pregnant again.

Can anyone give me any hope or at least make me be a little realistic and come back to earth.

Hi Meanmum

Good luck - when I was last newly pregnant I did not get a positive test result for a week after my period was late, so don't despair yet. However I also felt very "odd" immediately, a bit sick and dizzy, just not quite right. We were also desperate to be pregnant again as it was our honeymoon. My fingers are crossed for you x

Meanmum, maybe get the tests but wait a couple more days before trying? Don't want to dash your hopes or anything, I know it's awful playing the waiting game each month (I'm in the same boat) but I find the higher the expectation I have each month, the further I have to fall when my m/c starts. Hoping you get the positive result you want very very soon, though.

This month hasn't been any more stressful than any of the others and I am so praying I will be but think I am just building my hopes up.

I'm going to get the boots home brand test now and some more clear blue as they normaly work for me.

Have you had a stressful month or been ill? Sometimes that can delay your period...mine still are very irregular - range from 28 to 36 days...
Having said that, do hope its good news for you - get yourself out to Boots!

OH Meanmum.... >don't get too excited M2T< Try the Boots one pleeeease.!

Hey... won't make it a bit awkward to drink on the 17 May????

Bless your cotton socks Meanmum. I can't give you any great advice but I am going to will it to happen for you!!!! My fingers are crossed and I just made a wish! God luck and let us know what happens.
Can anyone remeber what the name of the test is that works really soon after a missed period? i'm sure i read about it somewhere on this site but can't remenber where.

I have a feeling Boots' own brand was meant to be quite sensitive. Good luck!

Have you tried different tests? There was a thread on this somewhere else recently. I can't remember which were more sensitive than others.

Thanks but my bad typing means they didn't say that actually. Wish they would

However, if 5 tests say you're pregnant, then I guess you're pregnant...

Yes 5 pregnancy tests and they have all been clearly negative. I've got the typical pains like I'm going to come on but with my ds I had the same thing and expected to see it but instead had a different arrival 9 months later.

Did you mean you've had 5 pregnancy tests and they've all been clearly negative??
