Okay this is really really panicking me. I have no clue what to do. it's half eleven and I am panicking myself so much I may puke.

I have put off this tattoo twice and tomorrow I am finally getting it done. Due to my anxiety and stuff I panic a fair bit and if I'm on my own I can't do it so I've found time around my fiancee and our kids to finally get something I've wanted for over two years BUT we have been trying for a baby and I'm starting to get a few little symptoms we instantly thought oh yeah it's just hormones but now it's got to the point I had all the symptoms I had with my first pregnancy and I've done a test but it was a stupid cheap one so I'm even more panicked if that's negative and I do go through with the tattoo that It may damage a baby I have no clue about and cause something awful to happen.

I mean I don't wanna go through with it but it's a big thing, a very personal tattoo for me of a passing of a grandparent so obviously I'm a bit upset if I have to cancel but I'd be even more upset if I lost a baby I didn't know about and we've tried so hard for BUT then what if I'm not? I've panicked myself into this crazy moment and It's nothing but a silly scare. Does anyone know a test that would test any slight trace of pregnancy? I've tried first response but others have said clear blue 100% but if I'm only a few days or a week would it detect? Lord jesus someone help me.

The First Response early response ones say they can detect it from I think five days before your period is due. I take it you're late? I'd go and buy a sensitive test first thing in the morning.

I'm due in 6 days but I don't know somethings just a bit off, I'm not myself at all right now and normally I put it down to my period coming but It feels very very different this time. I'm really panicked I'm sat like a crazy person looking for any answer possible!

I have, me and my fiancee decided last night that It's safer to not get any tattoos until after I've had a baby or we stopped trying for one
