Hi we are trying for a baby would be my first! So everything is scary, exciting, confusing. Last week I had some brown discharge and cramping, I had a bit of blood a few days ago and nothing since! I should be on my period now but nothing apart from the bit of blood a few days ago. I feel bloated and crampy, I have done a tests which was negative. Am I pregnant but just too soon to show on a test? I dont want to get my hopes up, I do have a appointment with the nurse tomorrow because of the discharge.

Try a FRER.

I used an ic, aren't they more sensitive than a FRER?

FRER = first response early result
IC = internet cheapy

Frer supposed to be more sensitive than some of the other brands out there. Think you need to look for 10ui tests as they're more sensitive and react to much lower levels of HCG. Some brands are only reactive at 50ui so take much longer to pick up the rising hormone levels.
