AIBU to not do a pregnancy test yet.

As the title suggests, I'm 9 days late and haven't done a pregnancy test yet.

I have a 6 month old little baby and my husband and I have been using condoms as we didn't want to use anything hormonal as we'd like to try for a baby again next year.

I've had 4 cycles since having my little girl, all 33 days long. I don't breastfeed and haven't since she was a few days old.

AIBU to not test? Sounds ridiculous but I'm on maternity leave also with a 5 year old on school holidays and £10 on a test seems a lot when it could just be that my cycles are out since having my baby.

I don't drink or smoke anyways, so surely I'm not doing any damage by not knowing if I'm pregnant am I? The midwife wouldn't see me for close to 8/9 weeks anyways so I just don't see the urgency but my friends can't believe I'm being so chilled!

Any thoughts would be so helpful! X

I admire your attitude towards it. Yes tests can be expensive and like you say - why pay it when there is no need to know officially now. Sure some women find out they are pregnant months into pregnancy and all has been fine.

It doesnt come across to me that the op can't afford the price of a test- she is just reasoning out the cost of it in her head to what other things she could spend the money on.

Whatever the result is op, hope your ok and it's what you want. Best of luck
