Hello to anyone out there at this time in the morning. I am new here, so I apologize, I don't know any abbreviations. My period is to come today. My husband and I just started to try for another baby and I am a wreck. I have a dentist appointment on Thursday so I thought I would test in the morning so I could cancel the appointment without being charged. Well needless to say I haven't been able to sleep for the past three hours. I usually sleep so well. I woke up and decided I couldn't go to the bathroom. Well about a half hour ago, the stress was so bad I had to go. Will I still see an accurate result if i test in 4 hours. I don't think I can wait to test until Wednesday morning because I am already so anxious. Hubby wants to be there, otherwise I would have done it half an hour ago. I don't have any signs, well i think they are in my head if any. Plus i have a really good feeling I am not but I can not sleep! Help. Does anyone else feel this anxious and let me know if I will get an accurate result in 4 hours! Thanks! Becky

Hi Becky, I obsessed just like you are now, but it has been 9 months trying to concieve(ttc), so I have had to learn to relax a bit. You could still get a positive Pg test (bfp-big fat positive), but at the same time you could get a bfn( big fat negative), yet still be pregnant, everyone is different, depends when you ovulated and how much hormone is in your system. I hope you are pg. I am also trying for #2, take care, good luck, I'm in Australia so that is why I am awake!! Bye for now, Cheers, Karen.

Thanks karen, and it was a bfn. I was quite disappointed, but am moving on. I didn't have my period today, so of course I still have some hope that I am still pregnant. But dh and I had a long talk and decided we had to stop talking about it all the time and let it happen naturally. I am a teacher and wanted to have it between May and July so it only gave us a little window. We decided we really had to relax or it would never happen. Thanks for replying. I will keep you informed! I will say prayers that you also become pregnant soon.
