... Should you get a pregnancy test?

Sorry I had missed the bit about ttc for years. Your mum is probably trying to protect you by not raising your hopes. Unlike us. We just want to know now!

Thank you :)

I got one feint and then 3 negs when AF was due, although I was pretty certain I was PG. Tested again 3 weeks later and instant BFP and a 3+ on clear blue digital :o)

So yes, it can happen, but don't live in hope, move on and if no AF in a week do another test.

Good luck :O)

BTW I recommend the clear blue fertility monitor, bit pricey, but at least gives you a guide to when you ovulate, I found I ovulate MUCH earlier than I thought and it really helped with conception.

LordOfThe5Rings · 05/08/2012 19:45

Thanks will get that! :)

Test in the morning? The levels are higher in the morning. Fingers crossed for you.

MrsHelsBels74 · 05/08/2012 19:54

I kept getting negatives until my period was a week late, am now 33 weeks pregnant. Definitely do another one tomorrow first thing & hope you get the answer you want.

LordOfThe5Rings · 05/08/2012 19:55

Hang on left it extra 5 minutes and came up with faint line, what does that mean?

OP posts:
sundaesundae · 05/08/2012 20:00

It means do another test in the morning!!!

Either an evap line or a BFP! Fingers crossed for a bfp!!!!

LordOfThe5Rings · 05/08/2012 20:06

Thanks will give that a jolly go! :)

ValiumQueen · 05/08/2012 20:06

Ooh! Do a test in the morning. What time do you usually wake? Grin fingers and toes crossed! I have never seen an evaporation line, and I have had many negative tests that I have poured over. I also have two DDs and am pg at the moment.

LordOfThe5Rings · 05/08/2012 20:13

The human body is a strange thing.

A strange and wonderful thing. Sweet dreams lordofthe5rings.

Thank you, Valium.

Morning! You obviously do not need to test if you do not want to, and AF may have appeared overnight. But if you do, I am here Smile
