How long after missed period...

[LordOfThe5Rings]

... Should you get a pregnancy test?

Also tuning in to see if there's any news

I've peed on hundreds of £££ worth of sticks and never had a evap line either. But I have had super faint lines come up after the recommended time and they've ended up positive.

Sounds promising then laura

Any news OP?

Yes, Val in the current pregnancy I'm at 13+2 and wishing this nausea would go away!

And OP, this one started out as several days worth of ridiculously faint faint faint lines. Hope all is well with you.

Ok so back again.

Had another test and again, it came up with a faint line, but a little darker.

Test was cheap so going to get a better one and again do tomorrow morning.

Just thought I would update you. :)

A line is a line! You are pregnant! Congratulations! Early days obviously so fingers crossed for a sticky bean x

Have been lurking. Definitely pregnant! Congratulations

I have a friend who was getting negatives then very faint for over a week. When she went for her scan it turned put she wasn't as far along as she thought as she must have ovulated late.

Even though it was a cheap test, a line is a line is a line. Great that it is getting darker. I am guessing it is a bit of a shock after trying for years. Is it your first positive test ever?

Another lurker here... an excited one because I think you are pregnant!

A line is a line! Docs did a test for me as they were about to send me for fertility tests and it was 'around that time' and even they couldn't work out if it was a real line or not (so so faint but def something there)! I am now 21 weeks with a little wriggler!

Congratulations!

Wahoo Lord - you're updiffed! What lovely news. Many congratulations!

May you have a happy, non-eventful pregnancy.

Yes first ever positive.

Excited but keeping low key as not out of the woods yet!

Oh yes, a long way to go, but a major first! I was told at 26 I would never be able to have children following a miscarriage which was badly managed and resulted in major infection and scarring. I had my first at 37, another at 40, and due DC3 in Oct at age 43.

You are allowed to be happy you know I do hope in 8 months time you have a little one in your arms x

I'm another one who has had a long,
painful and complicated path to motherhood - I'm now pregnant with my 1st at 38.

I know it's hard to allow yourself to get too excited in the early days, but I hope you take a moment and more to do a little dance of joy.

OK have taken another test - £8 one instead of £2.50 one.

Within a minute it came back as - PREGNANT.

I am so :o about this thought I would not be able to have kids, no idea why.

However, not out of the woods yet so keeping stress levels low and eating the right stuff and seeing the doctor tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help! :)

It is much easier to accept when it is written in words isn't it? Have you told anyone in RL? Really chuffed for you! Don't forget your folic acid, and enjoy not feeling sick, because chances are you will very soon!

Delighted for you

And join an antenatal thread as it will be very supportive.

CONGRATULATIONS Lordofthe5Rings, that is fantastic news! Enjoy it. :)

oh wow !!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!

I have been feeling sick for past 3 or 4 days now, Valum. As well as missed period, it was one of the main reasons I thought I might be pregnant.

Plenty of oranges and that then? OK cool.

Wow, that was a long time ago.
Now have a little lady in tow. :)

Lord is that you on a name change? congratulations!

Oh yes sorry whoops forgot I had NC'd!

Yes I am Lord and have a 13 week old little girl named Hollie and she's so beautiful - :)
