This is my first possible pregnancy, naturally clueless about it...

My menses was due 1st Nov, it didn't come. Test on home kits, 7th, 8th and today 19th Nov and all of them came up negative.

On 12th Nov, I visited my GP and he detected a fuzzy image after an abdominal scan. (Supposed to do see him again 26th Nov)

Help! Should I travel? I intend to fly on the 26th Nov... Am I really pregnant?

Life doesn't stop when you are pregnant. It is only in the last couple of monhts that you are restricted from flying.

I went abroad by aeroplane at 4 months and you can fly up until you are 28 wks I believe, even then the baby is not at risk if you do fly it's just that insurance companies wont insure u incase you go into an unlikely premature labour. I asked the nurse at the hospital before I flew and she said there is no problem what so ever, so relax and enjoy your trip .

You can fly until really quite late - depending on the airline. Its after about 28/30 weeks they ask for a doctor's letter saying you are fit to fly. I think they only say you can't fly after about 36 weeks and that is the risk you will go into labour.

I flew at 7 weeks this time round even though it was at this point exactly I'd m/c previously.

Most airlines let you fly up to 36 weeks (less for twins or more).
