period is 3d late which never happens (unless im pg) and shows no sign at all of rearing its ugly head. bought a boots test today and did it mid morning (definately NOT 1st wee, have to squeeze it out, TMI, sorry) and twas a bfn.

just read though that boots tests are probably the least sensitive (doh) any stories?

ok, you will feel every twinge a million times more strongly due to your history, hard not to worry x

Aww Lissie, I do agree with Lulumama. You will feel everything. I still have everything crossed for you.

You'd think after all the thousands of years women have been having babies it wouldn't be so hard and nervewracking.

Still not sure here either really.

The best thing to do (other than gt a blood test) is to wait another week!

Easier said than done I know, but then your answer should be clear.

Perhaps you ovulated late this cycle?

possible, but the problem i have with waiting is that if it is another ep then i dont have much time. i lost my left tube at 6w4d, i need a scan i future pg's at 5w to allow time to accurately diagnose an ep. the gp said if im ever unsure she will organise an emergancy blood test.

fucking wanky shitty bastard doctors.
really, wtf's wrong with them?

been to docs today, got appt for 5.50 and he said what can i do for you?
"well" sez i "my period is a week late, shows no sign of starting and im a bit worried, its been every 28d since i was 18"
"lab urine test was a bfn" sez he
"lab urine test was a bfn with ds and my ep"
"well you have to be pg to have an ep" (had to restrain myself from throttling the wanker at this point)
"i know" sez i "but if i am pg then i am 5w. my tube ruptured at 6w4d"
"well what do you want me to do?"
"a blood test"
"i cant, lab has gone"
"can i come in tomorrow?"
"you'll have to get an appt"
"can you book me one?"
"no"
"so what do i do?"
"come back next week"

"thanks a fecking lot"
"oh mrs w..."
"yes"
"the signs to look out for with an ep are abdo pain, abnormal bleeding and shoulder tip pain"

"in feb i had no abdo pain, bled like a period and shoulder tip pain only occurs when the tube has burst and you are bleeding internally. you told me i wasnt pg then too"

tosser.
