Live POAS thread...

[PillForgettingIdiot]

Am 30. I'm not trying to conceive, still on Cerazette, but DH and I would love kids in the future. If I am I'm going to have very mixed feelings. If I'm not I think I'll be relieved, rather than sad, but I don't know until I take it.

I missed a pill at the start of the month. Rang NHS Direct, who said it would be fine. Used condoms for a few days, but then missed another pill. Condoms for a week after that, but I'm sure we were a bit laxs with them. No period missed - because I'm on Cerazette I don't have periods anyway.

All I'm going on is feeling sick, being hungry, sleepy and having sore boobs. Better to POAS than wonder right?

I'm walking out of the door to go to the shop in 5 minutes. I'll be back asap.

Nervous!!

Good luck. I hope you get a result which you're happy with.

Good luck.m

Ok I've got it. My heart is racing. £16.49 too!

Its been a long time since I've taken one of these. Don't remember them being this much when I was a wild teenager!

Good luck!

Good luck op x

I'm just reading the instructions. Won't be too long. Thanks everyone. I'm scared. DH is visiting his parents. He knows I'm taking it. If I am, he'll rush back and be home tonight. If not he's staying til Tuesday as planned.

You're lovely and supportive in his absence. Thank you all.

Oh now I need to know!

C'mon

Ok sorry! Have peed. Am waiting the 3 minutes. You'll know as soon as I do!

Watching! Hand holding! (once you've washed them)

Not pregnant.

Good luck! Hope you get the result you want

Sorry cross posted. .. How do you feel? X

I'm relieved. I'm sure I'm relived. But theres definitely a twang of what could have been going on. Fuck.

Maybe it's time to come off the pill and try?

Think conversation with DH is due!

Mums - how did you know it was the right time to have kids?

If you still have the same "symptoms" I'd do another test later in the week. It is maybe too early to tell yet.

Good idea hoping. I have another one in the packet. The missed pills were 3/4 weeks ago, and we've shagged constantly all month.

There's never really a right time. Our first dd was an accident and I'm so glad she was, took a lot of the pressure off, not having to make the decision!

That happened to us a couple of years ago. Thought we might have been but we weren't - DH was relieved but I felt both relieved and also quite upset at what could have been. Then around 6 months later I turned 30 and it all hit me all at once that I wanted children. I'd never really thought much about it but all of a sudden I knew that at a fundamental level I had to do this, to have a child with my DH, or I wouldn't be complete if that makes sense. It took DH about a year after that to get his head around the idea and the changes it would bring etc. When he said he was ready to start trying, I've honestly never felt happiness like I felt, except perhaps on our wedding day. No sticky bean for us yet, but it's still early days. I would second the advice to take another test next week if you still have the symptoms. As for when you're ready to start a family, only you can know, but in my experience it just all hit me all at once. There's never an optimal time to do it, just when you and DH feel ready.

Yeah that makes sense Teenage. Had I been, the decision wouldn't have been mine to make. Less stressful than adding up the incomes/outcomes and working out if we can afford this, before we try. DH is very logical in that sense. They'll be no 'sod it, lets have a baby' here.

Best of luck to you MaGratgarlik. I'm not sure DH is going to want to yet either. He's having a career change atm.

Just waiting for a few mins to confirm negative. This thing couldn't be any brighter white! :(

How did it go Purple?
