My cycle is very regular. 28 days, give or take 2 days. I'm now on day 36 with no sign of period, other than the usual period pains on day 29 which I assumed was the start of it. Nothing followed.
I've done three tests - two cheap Asda ones, one which failed completely (no control line) and one which I think had an incredibly faint result line - like, if you really really looked for it. Could just be me seeing things! Husband didn't see it. This morning with first wee I did a Clearblue early indicator one. Looked at it after 4 mins and control line was there but nothing at all in the result window, completely blank. Looked again a couple of hours later as I went to tidy it away and there's a pretty obvious positive line there. I know you're supposed to not look after 10 mins, so should I disregard this? Or did I look too early to begin with and then move on from the idea too soon?
I have two kids, 9 and 7 so am not new to this but have never been so unsure! This isn't planned either...I have the copper coil fitted which I've been getting ready to have changed as it'll be 5 years in Feb that I've had it in. I'm 42 this year so could potentially be the start of perimenopause instead. But I just feel different, I can't explain it.
Off to see family today who live a few hours away for the next few days so don't want to keep testing. Do you think I should arrange a gp appt instead so they can take bloods, that way they can see if it's peri as well as testing for pregnancy?!
