Negative preg test - not sure whether happy or sad.

[Maudy]

Earlier today I did a pregnancy test (in the loo at work ) as I had convinced myself I was pregnant. I'm only about 5 or so days late and have never had a particularly regular cycle but for some reason I just 'felt' pregnant. I knew that DP didn't really want anymore but I had recently been feeling really broody as DS1 is now 7 and DS2 is now 2yr 5m. We met for lunch and I told him i thought I might be, he said that although he didn't really want more he would obviously be happy to have one if that was the case - so that was a relief.

The more I thought I was pregnant the more I worried and wasn't sure if I wanted to be. Thoughts of extra childcare costs if I went back to work full time, having to sort out sleeping arrangements etc (I know I was only a few days late but I have thought about nothing else).

Anyway, it was negative and now I don't know how I feel. Relief mixed with sadness, I suppose. Just looked at the 'Thinking of having No 3' thread and now feel more sad.

Just felt I had to share that with some like minded souls.

Maudy- Just because you have had one neg it is still early days. If you still don't come on in the next few days I would do another test in the morning (I know they say it doesn't make a diff but personally i think in the eary stages it does!!).

Hope you get the out come you want. x

awww maudy. why not have a indepth conversation with dp and see how you both feel about having another one, you never know dp may have become used to the idea too!

i know exactly how u feel. i was 2 weeks late and had several pregnancy symptoms i told my dp and he was over the moon, i went to doctors and she said there was a very good chance i was and i sent a sample away, it took 3 days and in those 3 days i convinced myself i would like another as dd is 4 now but still tried to stay grounded just in case where as dp was on cloud nine thinking he was gonna be a daddy. when we got the negitive result we were both upset cos we had convinced ourselves the time was rite but now we are just taking it easy if it happens it does if not we will have fun trying.
cheer up x

went home and came on! Why is it that as soon as you know your not pregnant it's as if your body just decides to expel anything connected with it? Anyway, feeling better about it today so thanks for your support.

I think it was the shock of thinking I was pregnant in the first place. I don't think I was quite ready for it but then sometimes thats the best way. I also think it has made DP more accessible to the idea of more babies in the future so that can only be a good thing .

lol, there's always a silver linning

I personally hate when the=at happens, you think to yourself, i could have waited and saved my money!!
