I am over a week late for my period, I have sore boobs a couple of times which is unusual for me as I only get them when pregnant. This baby wasnt planned (none were, just lovely little gifts :) ). I could go after school to a clinic and get tested or I can wait until my Drs appointment Friday, this would give me more time for my period to come but I dont know if I can wait to know.

So do I wait, or do I go after school?

Ladies?

I planned for 2 babies, and then had 2 surprise extras! I was using contraception and I was being VERY careful! Excessive fertility was blamed afair! Personally I think fate had a hand in it, my life is mad and chaotic at times but I would never change it for a moment :) Not sure I could cope with 5, but 4 is fine :) good luck knitted :) Ignore the grumpy's up thread.

Jeez, pleasant people on here today. Florence, I hope you never fall over an break something, have a car crash, get food poisoning etc etc and expect to get treatment. On the NHS, for free. If you do, you should really be more careful you know. You would be wasting a doctors time and tax payers money.

I'm fairly sure the OP is capable of budgeting, maybe her car failed it's MOT or she has had a run of birthdays to make it an expensive month.

If someone told me I didn't deserve my DS because he was an accident (and yes he was "an accident", but I love him dearly and he is the best thing to ever happen to me) I would have been seriously upset.

Yes this is "AIBU?" That does not make it acceptable to be downright rude and nasty.

Knitted shouldve posted under 'conception'

She would've been bullied into peeing on a stick!!

OracleInaCoracle · 24/03/2011 21:38

bats, nah... I'd have been posting my usual rant speech about waiting to POAS because it wont make you any more upduffed. and then some people would have posted "they are accurate, do it. what if she needs to know" then I would have had to dig out my stats again....

I would like to apologise to florence again. just reread your first direct post to me and I read it as "what a disgusting post " when it was "what disgusting post ?" my response was to the former. Im sorry.

Tiredmumno1 · 24/03/2011 22:28

Disgusted at some responses here, flo you need to grow up yourself, you have a nasty attitude

Hope you are ok op

MrsSparkle · 24/03/2011 22:33

Maybe the op isn't broke at the end of every month? It may just be this month?

The last few months of last year it seemed I was always broke. There was just so much to pay for. Fast forward this year and I have lots of money to save because there isn't much to pay out for at the moment.

Think some need to wind their neck in.

confuddledDOTcom · 24/03/2011 23:07

"the drs time wasted on you costs a lot more than 20p. "

So you quote me (by saying 20p, because above me people said it was 50p) and say "you" without any name attached and then expect me not to take it personal? I'm sorry but maybe it's my condition that affects my powers of telepathy...

If I thought I was pregnant last week or this week (OK, I know I'm pregnant, you'd think so at 24 weeks but if it was a new pregnancy) I'd have not afforded a test, I had £5 left on Wednesday and had to get my dad to take me to Tesco so I could spend it. Food or test? I'd have bought the food and asked the GP (or Boots/ Lloyds) for a test.

Cbear6, of course because by that point you've got your maternity exemption certificate and possibly HS vouchers. I'd thought before how easy it would all be - not that I would do that, even if I would I couldn't get away with it anyway as I need to have such early care.

LadyOfTheManor · 24/03/2011 23:21

I'm with Florence & Toby.

Go and buy a test, or wait and buy a test. The end of the month is a week away; it isn't going to change in 7 days.

TobyLerone · 25/03/2011 09:52

Good grief. The personal insults flying around here are awful, particularly from the nice, fluffy, "how dare you be mean to the OP, florence, but it's ok for me to call you names" brigade.

MissVerinder · 25/03/2011 17:33

OP, message me your address and I'll send you one from when I was TTC (((hug)))

Everybody happy with that?

Sassybeast · 25/03/2011 18:26

Routine pregnancy tests at a GPs surgery are a waste of valuable NHS resources in terms of time, cost and administration and will become a thing of the past.
Pregnacy tests are easily available. A magic kit to fix a broken leg is not, so that argument is kind of stupid.
I don't give a flying fig who has how many kids in what circumstances, but a healthy woman taking up a doctors appointment in order to save herself a few quid is BU.
