When do I go to the doc if no AF?

Argh.

Period due Sat. It's now Monday. Neg test yday and today.

How long do I give it before need to head to the docs?

I don't want another baby.

I wouldn't go to the docs at all about period being a couple of days late. Home tests are just as good as docs so unlikely you're pregnant.

Are you normally very regular?

Usually 28 days exactly. Over the last year, 29 days once. This is day 30 and tomorrow day 31.

Worried about false negatives.

Maybe give it a few days. I think that is what a doctor would advise anyway. As pp said, their tests are no more accurate than home tests.

Must be stressful for you. Hope you get the result you want.

Thank you minusten. I can't think of anything else :(

I wouldn't go to the DR for late AF in case it was a month or so late. I'd assume a random cycle where I didn't ovulate or something (in the absence of a positive pregnancy test).
False negatives are very rare.

I meant unless it was a month or so late, not in case.

If you are thinking of not continuing with the pregnancy I would go sooner rather than later, definitely do not leave it a month. Good luck, I hope af comes shortly.

Thanks all for your replies.

DP is on the same page, which is good. I'll give it a few more days.

I thought false negatives were common but false positives rare?

I think false negatives are fairly common, but usually because of testing too soon i.e before af is due. And then they are not really false because there is not enough hcg in your urine.

I would have thought it would be positive if you were pregnant, and it's much more likely that you are just late.

Try not to worry and test again in a few days.

A false negative after missed AF isn't common.

Thank you, that's reassured me.

AF came! Phew. Thanks all for responding.

Good news!

Thank you Somehow!

I am pleased that it all ended well.

Bulletproof contraception is next on the list hopefully? I really don't mean that to be patronising. I was like fort knox after a scare, lol

We use condoms, are limited due to various issues. But yes :-) If we ever do it again haha!
