well i have been absolutely sure that i was pregant! 5 weeks late, morning sickness and heartburn just feeling exactly like i did with my 2! however im on the implant so knew the chances were very slim. we were not trying and this is the first time ive had a scare since i had the implant put in 2 and a half years ago

we both know the timing is bad, we already have 2 kids the youngest is starting school this year. yet i was quite excited by the idea.

so i went to the doctors this morning and she did a test which was negative. but she has referred me to the doctor to do a pregnancy blood test to completly rule it out..

so why do i feel sad. i feel like ive lost a baby. i feel like a complete fraud. im not making much sense i just cant explain how im feeling properly.

Once you get your head round having a baby you get accustomed to the idea and you had mentally planned for it. You are not a fraud. Don't give yourself a hard time.

Maybe use this time to think about if you want to start trying again? Sounds like you would like another kid???

Hope you are ok.

5 weeks late- so like 9-10 weeks pg?

Had you not done a test at home already?

I think most people secretly hope for a BFB even if they know it's not practical, right time etc etc. So completely rational to feel disappointed.

i had done a test at hom a couple of weeks ago but i read on the internet that the hormone in the rod could override a positive result.

i think that i might want to try for one now.
