Any pregnancy symptoms?

IdrisTheDragon · 01/05/2007 08:46

If I were three days late I would probably take a test .

Blackduck · 01/05/2007 08:47

Are you irregular? If so wait, if you can set a clock by AF why not test?

my boobs hurt, and I feel exhausted, but you never know, that could all just be in my head

If you are three days later than your longest cycle (if not clockwork) then test!!!!

sit and calm down and don't take a test

LilRedWG · 01/05/2007 09:19

Why don't you set yourself a date and say, "If AF hasn't arrived in one week, I'll test!"

Hopeitwontbebig · 01/05/2007 09:28

Why don't you want to test? I tested 4 days before AF was due and got BFP!!! Have you ever been late before?

dp made me promise I wouldnt test on my own because he wants to be there, like he was for DD1,

Yes can help! What date was first day of your last period? How long are your cycles usually? That should be enough for a rough estimate.
When will DH be back - it must be really hard waiting when you're so anxious about it.

flightattendant · 01/05/2007 10:14

Sorry, DP.

RGPargy · 01/05/2007 14:58

Just do a test anyway and then do another one when DP comes home. Sorry, that's the deviousness in me coming out.

Twinmummyx2 · 01/05/2007 16:15

Yes i agree...do it, do it, do it!!!!!..lol

skidaddle · 01/05/2007 17:27

why on earth would we tell you not to test? Can't believe you've had the willpower to wait THIS long - go and test immediately and come straight back and tell us the result!!!

Runninglate · 01/05/2007 19:40

Is he home yet?? Have you done it?????

Hopeitwontbebig · 01/05/2007 21:20

Have you?

cece · 01/05/2007 21:23

I waited 2 weeks with DD and just one week with DS

Have you been stressed a lot this week?

I've had really stressful months, and fallen ill as well, and it's made me up to a week late.
