Okay so its driving me crazy... me and my boyfriend have decided to try for our first child, ive never really been one for kids until i met him. Hes my soulmate, and i cant wait to start a family with him. We're letting nature take its course, no pills, condoms ect, but we also arnt tracking ovulating days ect...
The only app i use is Flo mainly so i can guess when my next period is going to occur.
Thing is ive felt different these past few weeks, like, bloated, STARVING, very tired and i had slight cramps like a week ago but no period. I think im due around today/ tomorrow time, but the wait is actually killing me..
If i took a test now would it show if i actually was pregnant, or is it too early?
Second question... a long while back before my bf and i were together he was in a relationship with someone who had a miscarriage...he said he'd never felt so sad and felt it was the final straw in an already struggling relationship (mutual separation)... they were around 7 weeks pregnant.
Now im in two minds that if i get pregnant, do i tell him right away? Should i wait till we are past the 8week mark? I always think worst case scenario , and im worried if same thing happened to me, how would he cope?
Anyone else had this?
Thank you

Hi, @ladytmp
If you take a test now it could show positive if you are pregnant, it seems that some people show before the periods comes, and some people only show a few weeks after! So it really depends on your body.
But most test say to do test on the 1st day of the missed period. If I were you I would test now but I'm very impatient!

Personally I would tell my partner about the pregnancy. If something should happen (touch wood!) it's not fair that you should
Have to go thorough it alone.
It sounds like your last partner wasn't the right one for you. Sorry you had to go through that! Xx

@ladytmp hi, sorry just realised that it was HIS last partner who had the miscarriage.
Even so, I would still tell him.

@bunhead34 i think ill do one tonight, its like im dreading going to the toilet in case my period appears! i cant be like this for the next few days!! And thank you, i think you're right, i know he'll be overjoyed!
ive only got those cheap morrisons pregnancy tests at home, if its negative but ive still not had my period in a few days, you think i should try a clear blue one or similar?

@ladytmp yeah, I would test now, and if nothing then again in a few days Smile

Tested tonight with Morrisons own test, I'm not sure I'm doing it right tbh, I owed in a cup and dipped it in , is that the best way? So new to this!
Came up negative, ☹️ gonna test again if I don't come on period!!
Fingers crossed for BFP !!!

@ladytmp I just pop the stick under myself while I pee 🤷🏼‍♀️
I don't see why your cup method wouldn't work tho!
Fingers crossed for the next test!
I'm on cycle three now, I hope it works this month!
It seems like everyone is pregnant right now...
