AF is 6 days late according to flo. My last period was 3 December. It also says that your period isn't actually considered "late" until day 8 - so should I wait to test?

That's unusual for MN - POAS restraint!

Your period didn't start when expected, it's late.

Test!

But....best time to test is first thing in the morning, so if you can hold out until then do it tomorrow morning.

If you're late it shouldn't matter what time. Good luck! I always got my strongest positive in the afternoon

"Your period isn't considered late until the 8-day mark- anything before this is considered a normal variation on your cycle" I did think it was a bit odd.. Surely late is late! Thanks

I guess it's because there can be several reasons for a delayed period that aren't pregnancy related and also incase you ovulated later than expected this month etc.
Personally, I always waited a week after missing a period to test.

Good luck.

Thanks all, I may just order a first response on amazon so it comes in the morning. Unless anyone can recommend a better brand!

I admire your restraint to test, that's impressive! But obviously, congratulations!!!!! No denying that is a BFP! Will be nice to see it in writing on a digital though :)

Congratulations!! Seeking positivity so this is lovely to see :) Is it your first?

@MummyV2021 thank you! I'm glad I waited to be honest as it came up straight away. @Alex2022 thank you very much. Not my first, I had DS in 2020, I fell pregnant on the contraceptive pill so I was a good few months before I found out, just thought I was unwell... Since then I have had an ectopic and early mcs. So feeling anxious but positive that this is time❤Sending all the positivity to you!
