Pregnant?

I've been TTC for a very long time. I have PCOS, and DH has slow and immobile swimmers.

Weve pretty much written off any chance of having a baby naturally without help, so beginning of next year we were planning on going for private help. Using the time in between to get as healthy as possible.

Past couple of weeks I've been saying that my boobs are sore, I've been moody and I'd out it down to my period possibly on it's way.

Were probably 3 weeks past that point now and no period.
I'm tired like I dont think I've ever been and let's not start on my sense of smell.
I've completely gone off everything. Couldn't stomach a bacon sandwich the other day, the smell. The fridge is getting to me-ive had everyone else say no, it's fine. And it's just been cleaned.

I went to work yesterday with an anti sickness band on because I keep having sickness wash over me. DD gave me a cuddle yesterday, the smell of garlic (I love garlic and the smell usually) and I had to get away from her because I thought I was going to be sick, then I realised DHs smell is bad too.

I took two of the cheapest pregnancy tests I could find, they're both negative, but here I am feeling like I'm on the 11th day of no sleep, and wondering what it is that will make me sick because everything is making me feel like I'm on the verge.

And I'm ravenous, except when I sit down to eat, nothing is nice. It all smells so bad.

I dont even remember what being pregnant feels like. It was 11 years ago..and I'm crying because i partly dont think it's possible, and if I'm not pregnant then what on earth is going on.

Sorry. Confused and sort of venting I guess.

Anyone know what the most sensitive pregnancy test is please?

You need to use your first urine of the day and retest, first response are often thought to be very sensitive. Fingers crossed for you.

Try a first response test and use first pee of the day. Good luck!

How late is your period OP? I used a first response one which worked early.
If it's still begative, still no period and still feel crap I'd make a GP appt

I've no idea how late I am. I sometimes have a period each month. Other times I might have 3-4 months in between.
I avoid testing wherever possible because it usually just leads to upset when the test is negative. So I dont even keep track of when my periods are.

First response it is then. Thank you xx

Fellow PCOS lady here. I completely understand how u feel about avoiding tests. I was lucky with both my DDs and very grateful.

For your peace of mind you need to do a test first thing in the morning for the most accurate response. It’s like a bandaid; just get it over with!

I hope you get the result you want x x

@goodfornothinggnome Take first response test with first morning urine x

I think dipping the test is better than having it under the stream, if you know what I mean. Much easier to control too.
