I can't believe I'm posting an "am I pregnant" AIBU but I'm away and nowhere near a pharmacy!

I'm 99.9% sure I'm not, because I last had sex on 29th May (only unprotected in ages) and had negative tests right up to Saturday. My period was due Friday. If I'd conceived around then I'd have thought the HCG would be showing long before.

I'm hoping I'm not yet, we have a 1 year old and I hope we are lucky enough to have another but for several reasons right now wouldn't be best. I'm away on an all inclusive holiday in the middle of nowhere and would love to have the odd drink and eat a bit unhealthily but I don't know what to do.

Help!

I can't get hold of a test. Only had four or so cycles since giving birth (still breastfeeding) so I'm sure they are just irregular

Also - I'm on CD30

You'll need to get a test and test again in the morning. By now any test should pick it up. Are there no chemists near by? Good luck

Pokeyboob · 18/06/2019 12:42

No chemists anywhere nearby!

I don't really know what I expect anyone here to tell me, I'll just have to act as if I am just in case I guess and wait for AF to come.

From what I have read, alcohol and bad food this early will not effect the baby as you do not share a blood supply yet. Lots of people drink and eat badly before they find out they are pregnant and go on to have healthy pregnancies.

Ask hotel reception they may have some, or may be able to get some for you!

Ask at the hotel about a chemist?

Is there anywhere that can next day deliver a test to you? When you say 'the middle of nowhere' I'm assuming they still get post?

Pinkmouse6 · 18/06/2019 12:44

Assuming you have a regular 28 day cycle you had sex two days before ovulation... You definitely could be pregnant.

Having said that, my cycles are all over the place since they started back up again when DS turned six months. I’m also still breastfeeding, I think the hormones send it out of whack.

I'll keep you guys updated on my test mission

Before anyone asks why we had unprotected sex if we didn't want to conceive - things have changed since then a little. It wouldn't be a disaster but I do hope I'm not yet

We found a couple of tests, amazingly.

Hasn't been in hours so rushed to loo and test was void! Can't believe it. Maybe I weed on the window in my haste.

I want to do the other one now as away with family and think they are probably already speculating about no wine with dinner (though I don't drink much anyway as breastfeeding - just a glass at lunch or dinner which I really enjoy) although won't notice the heathier eating

I guess I should wait until morning but want to test again tonight!

Do it! If anything just to put your mind at rest.
But tbh, if I were you, I'd be having my glass of wine. One glass with dinner isn't going to harm!

GrandTheftWalrus · 18/06/2019 18:15

If you're already late then doing it at anytime of day will be okay. I done mine with dd at 8pm and it was very positive but I was nearly 6 weeks and had been drunk all weekend.

I got this one at 2pm the day my period was due however it didnt stick.

I did it and negative 😅 but I don't think I'll really trust it until period comes or do another with FMU

Our DC is absolutely wonderful but was born with problems which is why I'm so cautious and why I want the timing to be right next time and to do absolutely everything by the book (although I did with her too). It's not that I wouldn't want another child as I really do and very much hope we can but for those reasons want to wait a few months
