Would you do a test even though you knew you weren't

Hi all,

What would you all do in my situation? DH and I have been told that we have less than a 1% chance of getting pregnant naturally (problems on both sides) and we have had one failed IVF attempt, which although worked, it didn't stick and we had what the clinic classed as an early miscarriage. We were told to keep trying naturally which we have, although not religiously (I really struggled with the first round and now believe that my body doesn't work anyway so what's the point). We are waiting for a second round, I just need to lose a bit more weight before we can do so, but my weight loss is steady, not drastic and I've been regular throughout so don't think this is the cause, but my period is now 6 days late with no signs of showing up (none of my normal pmt symptoms). I am normally fairly regular. Is there any point in doing a test and being disappointed even though I know really there is no chance of being pregnant, or would you just wait it out until it arrives. I could I guess being perimenopausal (I'm 38). I have no signs that would make me think I could be pregnant, apart from fatigue (which isn't a new thing to me). Don't really know why I am posting, just wondered what others would do? x

Awe good luck ! I am two weeks away from meeting my little miracle boy - had been trying for ages and messed up the dates over Christmas so was sure I couldn't have been pregnant - and yes I was !

Really crossing my fingers for you OP. I know how soul destroying it is when you've resigned yourself to knowing it will never happen, then getting a tiny glimpse of hope!

Fingers firmly crossed for you OP. Same thing happened to my best friend and I'm now a very happy godmother to her lovely son. Smile

Surely you must test tomorrow morning. It takes only a few minutes.

colouringinpro · 13/09/2018 20:02

Keeping my fingers crossed for you too OP. With my second I was only a few days late and had backache like my usual period pains, so a positive was a lovely surprise.

Also if it's not, is really recommend seeing a nutritionist. I'm convinced my changed diet and particular supplements helped me conceive dc1 quickly after nearly 3 years of trying.

cakesandphotos · 13/09/2018 20:21

Oh OP I have everything crossed for you! We tried for almost 2 years and I stopped testing after 6 months because it was too heartbreaking getting a bfn. Rooting for you!

Desmondo2016 · 13/09/2018 21:33

Fingers crossed for you. You have more self control than me!

LemonBreeland · 13/09/2018 21:39

Fingers crossed for you OP. I can't imagine the journey you've been through this far.

FrancesV83 · 13/09/2018 21:41

Good luck OP, I really hope you get a BFP. Keeping everything crossed for you.
