A new thread to discourage early testing.

So, STEP AWAY ladies!

Hi! Thanks for welcome.

I'm trying NOT to test today. My period is due today and I'm feeling really down, which usually means it's about to arrive. But of course, I'm feeling twitchy.

I really dislike early testing as the last time I thought I might be pregnant, I did a test on the day I was due, which said I was. Then I did one a few days later which said I wasn't, and then my period came two weeks late, so officially a miscarriage, but I'd rather have not known at all. I told DH I was pregnant and then had to backpeddle and it wasn't very nice!

I though you guys might help me not to rush to the shops and buy a test!

I have one 17 month-old DD BTW. She's not getting an awful lot of attention today as I'm preoccupied and keep wandering off to fold laundry.

Angelfifi · 17/06/2009 12:27

I'm usually 28 days and was due last thurs so im a week late tomorrow

iateallthecreameggsyummy · 17/06/2009 12:31

hiya, well firstly well done for waiting this long to test! the 2 week wait is over, when did you want to test and how regular is your cycle??

Your previous pregnancy sounds like a chemical pregnancy to me as it was bfn within a few days but i might be totaly wrong. To me cp and mc is both the same, its a loss and im sorry for you, i recently had a mc so i understand how you feel. Im now 8+4 and not leaving this thread till i get pushed of, everyone is to friendly!!

Dont worry about your dd, im sure she wil be fine today perhaps cuddle up and watch tv together later or read a book? I dont have any dc so not sure what to suggest! lol

Angel if you tested yesterday dont tests again today lovvie, use the first pee of the day tommorrow at the earliest. Good luck and keep us posted.

iateallthecreameggsyummy · 17/06/2009 12:34

ooh angel a week late! if you have a supply of cheapies maybe pee then!!??

Iate steps away slowly for undermining the dont test early, but its not early now angel!!

Clwc · 17/06/2009 12:35

I typed 'the' instead of 'then'. Perhaps we're all pregnant!!

Clwc · 17/06/2009 12:40

If I don't come on by next week, I'll test then. It's driving me nuts today. Is it nearly lunch time?

lucygrif · 17/06/2009 12:43

lets hope so clwc

CD30 today but feeling like the witch is coming boo hoo

Desperate to test though, the suspense is killing me!!

iateallthecreameggsyummy · 17/06/2009 12:43

next week!! wow your good clwc!!

it is lunch time you wally go grab urself a nice sarnie, mmmmmm what i would do right now for pate!! oh and a glass of wine and some nice stilton!

Banana it is!

ReneRusso · 17/06/2009 12:43

Welcome LaTrucha, I agree its best not to test if you can help it, because I think its quite common for pregnancies to end very early and its better not to know. Are you very regular? Try to wait a couple of days if you can.

lucygrif · 17/06/2009 12:44

how regular are you normally and what CD are you clwc?

LaTrucha · 17/06/2009 12:44

Thanks Iateallthecremeeggsyummy - I thought of it as a CP too, but GP calls it a MC. It would have been fine if I had not tested! Apart from the haywire hormones, of course.

What do you guys count as early testing?

Clwc · 17/06/2009 12:59

Lucy, I think I'm CD38-39. I'm not regular these days. Mind you, I don't think I really have been since puberty. I'll have a few regular months just as I'm falling in love, then it goes back to irregular once I've settled. Lol.

Starving now. See you girls in a bit xx

Angelfifi · 17/06/2009 13:34

well i'm starting to have some quite bad stomach cramps so maybe af is on its way

lucygrif · 17/06/2009 13:46

Angel I am also lying in wait for the witch, fingers crossed she stays away for us both x

Angelfifi · 17/06/2009 13:56

I hope so lucy i feel really yuk today and am thinking that i've got a virus or bug and its keeping it away. Are your cycles regular? Fingers crossed. xx

lucygrif · 17/06/2009 14:09

used to be bang on 30 daysbut was late last month and went to CD33, perhaps clomid is messing with mother nature

Clwc · 17/06/2009 14:21

I think I started spotting. Will confirm later.

Nice lunch though x x x

proudestmummyever · 17/06/2009 15:02

PistachioLemon · 17/06/2009 15:05

Clwc - I hope it's just random spotting and not your period arriving. I was so hopeful for you this month.

Welcome La Trucha!

Clwc · 17/06/2009 15:25

It's very, very light, as with pme.

As I said before, I don't think this month is my month. Perhaps I'll start looking into adoption.

I feel sick and sleepy. Cabin fever?

proudestmummyever · 17/06/2009 15:38

Yeah exact same as me, I am geting weird brown bits too, don't know what the hell tht is, quite worried bout it xx

Angelfifi · 17/06/2009 15:52

Hi all,
Well i feel a little down in the dumps now as i have just been talking to a friend and she was telling me about this bug going round so much so she thought she was pg because she was late for af and feeling yuk, she went to docs and confirmed she wasn't pg she doesnt want anymore children anyway so she was relieved. So i am guessing that is whats happening with me, because i think a test would be positive by now.
I hope i am pg not not holding out for much hope now i heard that!!!! Good luck pme did you test today?

Clwc · 17/06/2009 16:03

(((((Angelfifi)))))

I think I'm going for a lie down. x

LaTrucha · 17/06/2009 17:32

I had the same sort of thing angelfifi - a virus that exactly mimicked early pregnancy. I was convinced I was pg even though it was scarcely possible. Not nice.

Angelfifi · 17/06/2009 18:18

I just want af to come now so we can get on with next month!!
