Hi,

I put in a message this morning(i'm in the uk by the way) and when i tried to find any replies my message was gone!!!!! Is this board so busy it knocks the earlier messages off so quickly? I just couldn't find it!

Anyway, By my calculation i should have conceived on the 13th sept, my period is due sun morn.28th,i took a test friday 26th as i was on a night out, it showed neg. Probably too early, but wanted to check if possible, Thing is - i'm pissing for england, i'm so hungry, and i just feel pregnant if that's possible. Usually i'm showing brown blood a week before i'm due period, and this isn't happening! It's now Sat early hours and period due tomorrow! Normally i'm bluddy nackered all the time but i've noticed i'm a lttle bit more alert than normal during the day but nice and sleepy at bed time. Says me on the net at 2.45 in the morn.!!!

Does anyone else or has anyone had these syptoms? or am i being ???? what??? i don't know! Help!

Thanks

Hi ! we are almost in the same sityation. My LMP ( Last Menstrual Cycle) was 1 Sept, i had unpreotected sex on 13 Sept and used the withdrawl method.My period is due 28-29 days.I'm worried if i could be pregnant!

I took an HCG blood test that shows exact amount of HCG in blood on 22 Sept and it dected no Hcg, which means negative.

Tommorrow i'll go for the same test again, if there are no change in the result ( same result as test before) then i'm not pregnant.I hope i'm Not.

When was your Last Menstrual Cycle start date? How long is your cycle? is yor period always regular in its timing ?

As for the HPT ( Home pregnancy Test) as far as i know it works with some poeple and detect pregnanacy 3 days prior to AF ( period). And for others it could take for one week or more to give ++

If you tested on 26 Sept and it gave you -- wait and test again on the day your AF is due.

What brand of HPT are you using? some tests are sensitive and can detect as low as 15-25

I heard that First Response brand is good and can detect 3 days prior to AF but this also depends on the level of HCG in your blood ( if you're pregnant)

To save yourself from waiting and worrying, go for an HCG blood test and it will give you an accurate result instead of waiting. Put in mind that stress can cause your period to be late even if you're not pregnant.

You have two options, either take a blood test NOW or use the HTP and wait till you get a result or till you recieve your period.

I hope this helped somehow.

Hope it turns out the way yo want.Good Luck !
