ok expat, I was one of the am I/aren't I people.
When I had my dd, you had to wait for two missed periods before the doctor would let you have a test (yes, I an that old)
The number of people who never went for a test because they had a 'late period' was amazing. Now you go on threads and people are miscarrying at 5 weeks and it is truly heartbreaking for them because that was a baby.
In my day (oh God, did I really just say that!!) that hearbreak would not have been there to the same extent, this time I was nearly three weeks late, I had a few days of worry, and a few days of coming to terms, and decided to give it a week or so before I took a test.
I decided to come on here and talk to people about my worries, I got 'shouted' at to go and take a test, you questioned my 'lack of money' which I cited as a worry.
Today I started my period. It is much better for me and my dh looking at this as a late period, rather than a 'lost baby'.
I'm glad I didn't take the advice given and stand by that and other peoples choices to come on here and post about their worries and concerns and to take a test when they want to.
If I can't talk about my worries on here, where can I go?
