Period isn't due for nine days! Am I going mad?!?!?

Ok so I feel like I have a lot to say but I'll try and cram it all in without sounding like I'm rambling on. So basically a bit of a back story I have three children already 7, 5 and almost 2 year old. So I feel like im somewhat a pro when it comes to pregnancy 😆 but right now I feel like a newbie.

Like the title says I'm not due my period for another 9 days so I'm not nieve to the fact that for a definite answer I'll just have to wait but I wanted to know your thoughts.

The only contraception we use is condoms, we're adamant we don't want anymore children, but I cant use any other form of contraception so condoms it is. And while it's frustrating I can still say we are very careful there haven't been ANY accidents, no tears no nothing. But as we all know no contraception is 100%.

I've been feeling 'weird' for about a week now... im tired, constipated, my back hurts, horrendous spots, I spotted yesterday and I had the worst headache on boxing day that I even took a paracetamol I know that might sound odd to some people but I hardly ever take paracetamol so the fact I did means something. I've also found that with each of my pregnancies I've had symptoms earlier with each one.

Anywho... I took a test, I know its stupid and way too early before anyone points that out. But I did it. I feel like I can see something when I hold it at arms length. I'll upload two pictures, one is edited and the other is not. Tell me what you see. I feel like im going mad. Again I know there's no way to know for certain until my period is due but... help lol 😆

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Sorry, I can’t see a positive line but I know from experience that photographing squinters isn’t easy.

I think I can see something but blue dye tests are the work of the Shit Devil.

Get a First Response and it’ll be more clear. You must have ovulated earlier than normal?

Izabella93 · 28/12/2020 12:51

Its definitely a squinter, I'd hate to see the faces I've been pulling looking at it. The symptoms have got me worried.

My friend said the same about blue dye, I have ordered the first response ones on amazon they should come tomorrow. But I think I'll wait until my period is actually due before I test this time. @LividLover

Hold it upto a window so light can shine thru and take pic?

LividLover · 28/12/2020 12:56

Why wait? If you have symptoms and a blue squinter it’ll show on a FRER if you’re pregnant.

If you don’t want to be pregnant, better to know ASAP. If you do, same.

I went to the shop and got another test because I'm impatient. Would i get a positive this early?

I think I can see a line, hold it to a window for transparency, that's what I always do. Maybe you ovulated early and therefore have a high a hcg reading already? I'm not an expert tho just a guess

AnImposter · 28/12/2020 15:42

If that's a Sainsbury's one write it off unless it's glowing blue. They're terrible for 'false' positives x

Mother2princess · 28/12/2020 19:36

Wouldn't take those as positives wait 3 days and try again

PeanutButterFalcon · 28/12/2020 21:16

@AnImposter was just about to say the same for Tesco ones.

waitinggame108 · 28/12/2020 21:22

You may have ovulated earlier. Do you track any fertility signs?

I can see a faint line

Lougle · 28/12/2020 21:23

Your symptoms started at around ovulation time, so I wouldn't trust those. I don't think you can see a line, even if you invert the colours. Try again in a few days.

StopSquirtingBleachOnCaneToads · 29/12/2020 04:37

I can't see anything at all.

Sorry OP, looks like you'll just have to hang on a few more days and test again!
