Hi all,
A few weeks ago my GP told me to take a pregnancy test given I had varying signs indicative of early pregnancy.
I’ve not had sex for a few months, am on the pill and haven’t missed any days, and have had ‘periods’/withdrawal bleeds as normal, so it seems unlikely but I took the test.
I did the test straight away, ignoring the instructions to wait until the day of your expected period (which was a week away), assuming this didn’t apply given if I was pregnant I’d be at least 2 months along. The test was negative, and I forgot about it. However, I mentioned to a friend I’ve felt sick a couple of days this week and she asked if I’ve taken a pregnancy test. I’m now wondering if I should have waited until day 1 of my period to be sure of that test result!
Does anyone know if the test would’ve picked up the relevant hormone if I was pregnant? (It feels silly even asking given I’ve been having periods but google tells me this isn’t impossible.) Happy to do another test but if I have to wait until my next period that’s 3 weeks away :(
