tell me again, why it would be daft to test 5 days before af is due??

Are those clear blue digital thingies quite good if you do them ealry?

I found that the digital ones aren't very sensitive, especially if used early. Bit of a waste of a tenner, because if you get a negative, you'll want to test again in few days.

Because it's bloody expensive, and less accurate if you do it early, and given that it takes 9 months of waiting to have the baby, you may as well wait 5 days. Or more, in fact.

ok ok ok, i get you, noble, i have had my knuckles severely and well deservedly wrapped.

tatty pulls herself together, brushes down skirt and bashfully goes to wash up.....

agree with noble, you will end up spending a small fortune on pregnancy tests and if, judging by the majority of peoples experience on here, the digital ones just aren't as sensitive.
With my first I did a clearblue expensive test day before AF due, got a negative, did a tescos one and got a faint positive.
If you can manage to, HOLD ON, your purse will thank you got it! plus its always disappointing getting a negative and you may get one just coz its too early, why put yourself through that when in 5days time you may get your BFP?
Good luck

i know, but i just want to know, well confirm that i feel so deathly because i am on the roller coaster of doom again.

Kity I also found Tesco's tests to be good. Did the test on a wednesday, AF due on Saturday and got a bfp. The test was also done in the evening so they are obviously very sensitive.
