Am I pregnant? Sainsburys Tests????

Has anyone used Sainsburys digital home pregnancy tests?

It has a plastic holder and you basically slide a usual urine type preg test into the digital reader and it says 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant' anyway i got the one with two tests so one plastic holder and 2 parts to insert, both times i've messed up insertion and it says 'leaflet' - damn thing won't let you re-insert to re-test. But when I looked at the part to insert (looks like basic hospital type preg test) it had two lines, am I pregnant? I am going to buy another test tomo (not sainsburys!!) to re-test but just wondered if anyone had used these before and looked at the insert part afterwards!? MC in June so a little emotional - clutching at straws maybe.

I hope that makes sense - it's late!!

Hoping that everything works out ok for you. I had a missed miscarriage last year that started off with what seemed like my period, although lighter, but then just carried on spotting brown until it was discovered at my 12 week scan that it hadn't worked out (had an early scan and heartbeat seen).

However, in January this year, I also had what I thought was a period, albeit a few days early (on my birthday!!), and was shorter and lighter, followed by on-off spotting. A few days later, I had a gynae scan for follow-up after my miscarriage (I had retained products), and there was a strange cyst-like structure on my ovary. They did a pregnancy test, and it was positive. They suspected an ectopic at first, but several blood tests and scans later, I finally saw my little baby on the screen at 6+5. I am now 38+2.

Keeping everything crossed for you, I know how long the waiting game can feel. xx

Just saw this thread and although I'm a newbie just wanted to say all the very best with your scan. I'm just 2 days away from my period and praying for a no show. Tooksn early predictor test but BFN.

Thanks for your kind words.

Some red blood today rather than just brown. So not hopeful. But I am holding on to all the stories of bleeding and then all being well.

Sad to hear of other MCs I really didn't realise how common it was until you confide in friends in RL and read on here.

Fingers crossed Munchies for a BFP!

PipsWife · 09/09/2012 20:54

Thanks Flosie.

I keep going from positive one minute (you hear so many stories about bleeding and then healthy baby) to nope this is same as last time (blood = MC)

I just want to know now.

My fingers are crossed for you and im really sorry to her about your m/c :(. Never give up on hope!

I lost my baby boy at 23weeks in April I was only 17. Then had a early m/c at 7weeks last month now 18. It's really hard but I have plenty of time and plan to get back on my feet again :). Ino its weird hearing I've tryed for children but my boyfriends 25, some people judge.

Just make sure you think of the best, I really hope everything is ok and you get what you want :) x

RileyLeeHargreaves2012 · 10/09/2012 00:13

P.s let me know how you get on tomorrow.

Good luck, pip, thinking about you!

Good luck today. Fingers crossed!

PipsWife · 10/09/2012 12:44

Scan 0845 tomorrow morning Sad

I just want to know either way now.

Still bleeding. More so. GP was really good, reassuring but not giving me false hope - he has done a lot of Obs&gynae and said bleeding is so common.

My first pregnancy with my daughter was so straight forward and text book even that this just makes me feel uneasy. And apart from the positive tests I don't "feel" pregnant.

Another night of waiting Sad

Oh Pip, another night of waiting, how awful Sad

I had a MC in Jan of this year and the doc at the EPU said to hope for the best but expect the worst.

At least the scan is early in the day.....

jaylee89 · 10/09/2012 17:09
