Should I test or wait?

Had unprotected sex 2 weeks ago exactly during fertile period.
My period is due in two days but I'm feeling really nauseous and my breasts are tender.
Should I test or wait until after my missed period?

Personally I've always tested before my period is due, if you are having symptoms and your period is only 2 days away there's a high chance it will give you the confirmation. Most test kits come with two tests anyway, so just do another one in two days as well.

What do you think? The fainter line is by the c. Not sure if I messed this one up. Some of the pee went on the window.

The faint line next to the C is just where the dye hasn’t run across. The stronger line next to it is the control line. It’s hard to tell if there’s a line to the left of that. Do you have a better picture and/ or another test?

Thanks, That's the one I meant the fainter one by the c. I thought it was it a weird position. There's nothing by the t.

Hello hello, I've now tested three times negative (sainsbury's tests) but my period is three days late and this is today's test. I feel like I am going mad. My periods are normally like clockwork and this is highly unusual. I had a tiny amount of bleeding on the day I was due, thought that's it but then nothing since. Sorry if tmi.
Today I got a clear blue and I think there is a really faint blue line.
I haven't got another picture because I threw it away at work. Sorry.

The clear blue one looks positive to me

Thank you. I was wondering if I was imagining feeling nauseated and tender breasts but three negative tests and one when I was two days late were bothering me alot

I'd love some more opinions on the clear blue test. And also some stories of if anything like this happened to you before.

That looks faintly positive.

Personally I don't rate CB tests they give awful evaps
Try and find or order a pink test?? I use the Amazon cheap ones they're super sensitive and have always been great with my pregnancies 💖

I tested negative with dc4 until 1 week after my period was due. It turned out to be the easier pregnancy of my 4, very little sickness, whereas I was sick as a dog with my other 3, maybe that had something to do with testing negative so late, no idea 🤷🏻‍♀️
I can see a line on cb and I usually can’t see lines where others can clearly see them 🤔

That looks a lot like my positive test.
I think the best bet is to get a digital test if you can. Then you can be sure. Xx

Clear blue looks like a faint positive, definitely something there.

Howtonamechange · 27/06/2024 19:23

I've picked up a digital test. I'm going to try to wait till tomorrow morning if I can.

Remember the digi tests are a lot less sensitive than regular tests babe, try and find a test with pink dye as they don't give as frequent grey lines that can be mistaken for faint positives
Id day keep testing though because a late at is always a fab sign! Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻💖
