How late can you test?

It's a long shot, I don't think I really am, but I'm getting v 'puddingy', inexplicable anger, windy gut-gurgles, all like early pg with DD. Also, still no AF even though I'm back at work and bfs have cut right down.

I've poas-ed this morning and it's negative, but seeing as the last time me & DH had sex was in January, I could be up to 14 weeks by now... When do the hcg levels drop low enough for a stick to miss them?

Or is this just the signal that my periods are coming back?

I honestly think if you are that concerned you should go and see your doctor.

Most likely just your body gearing back up for periods to return, but if you are worried then go to your gp, one prod of your tummy will tell him whether you could be preg or not.

It does sound very like your body adjusting ready to start up your periods again though.

Thanks both of you. I was planning to call the doc first thing Monday about DD anyway, so I'll see if I can get us both booked in. Part of me can't wait for my periods to start again so we can start ttc again (we would like a small age gap if my body plays along) but part of me is loving being period-free!

DO go and see a doc. By 8 weeks in (I had twins) pg tests were coming up negative (they do that once the HcG passes a certain level)
