How quickly did you know

[Tracy245]

I had sex with someone new for the first time a week ago and my period was due yesterday but hasnt come my breasts are tender and im feeling really tired. My cycle is really short and im just worried i could be pregnant is it to soon to tell?

Take a test, might show something already.

Is there a test anyone would recommend that would show this early?

I used digital clear blue. That was accurate for me when my period was 1 day late.x

First response early response showed positive (strong line) for me on day period was due

I got definite positives at 10 days past ovulation. My period wasn’t due for nearly a week after.

I used both Clear Blue Early Response and First Response Early Response to test with.

Im going to go get a test or maybe even 2 tomorrow and see what happens. I would love to be pregnant as at 34 after a number of miscarriages in my past i had given up on the thought i would ever have a baby but on the other hand the relationship im in is really new and this was the first time we slept together (got a bit carried away) so im worried about how he will react if i am pregnant

I’d deffo use first response! Got a faint line on n those but negative on other tests for at least a week. I was 7 dpo, the line was so faint that morning and I took another that afternoon and it was even darker, still super faint though, by that evening I took another and darker again, my partner was able to see it this time and not just my line eyes lol, anyways he’s 2 years old now so it was deffo correct! If your having symptoms because of the hormones then I’m sure it will show up already, like I said I was 7dpo and we spent together on ovulation day so was exactly a week since we had sex

I used a test from Poundland and came positive one day before my period was due.

Starting to freak myself out thinking about it wish i could just know for sure one way or another now but cant get to anywhere to get a test tonight so will have to wait until tomorrow

Update i tested and it was positive but now the father is ignoring all my calls and texts and i dont know what to do. Im also freaking out as it is so early and i have a history of miscarrying just dont know what to do

I’m sorry to hear baby daddy is being an ass, had you told him about the pregnancy? Sit tight, it’s early days, you don’t need to do anything. Except maybe take folic acid and vitamin D if you aren’t already.

Yes ive told him and he hun up on me and is now ignoring all my calls and texts we have only know each other just over 6weeks abd this happened the first time we slept together i feel like an idiot for letting it happen but i never thought he would act like this. Im so scared but if i have to do this myself i will just never thought this is how it would be

My colleague became a single mum by choice. She miscarried after a surprise pregnancy with her bf. She wanted to properly try again, he didn’t and they went their separate ways. She really wanted a baby and as she was in her mid 30s didn’t feel she had time to hang around for Mr Right so through insemination and a donor she got pregnant. She had a lovely little boy and was fully supported by her mother so she could work even sometimes abroad! A very happy outcome. You can do this alone especially if you have family support around you. Men aren’t necessarily necessary. If he is earning the father will have to pay child support whether he wants to or not so make sure you get and keep all his details. Hopefully he’ll come round. He may just need some time to absorb - this is a big shock. However don’t be bullied or feel forced into a termination unless you want one. If it’s not truly your choice it can be scarring, I know from bitter experience. Good luck!

Give it a few days OP, its obviously really surprising for you both in such a new relationship. You both need time to get your head around this news. I'm sure it will all work out, whether he is involved or not. Best wishes xx

Thanks im going to give it a few days and try and contact him again. Ive already decided that no matter what im keeping the baby but it would be a lot less scary with his support. I know i would have friends and family supporting me but i just want him to be a part of his childs life.
