  • She's back late today (parents evening) so I don't know yet whether there's been any AF or not!

    If there hasn't, I shall try my very hardest to get a test done!

    I read that if you're testing from day of missed period onwards then there isn't any need to worry about making sure it's first 'water' of the day. Tests are sensitive enough that they should pick it up. So long as you haven't downed several pints of water beforehand.

    Whether I'll be successful or not is another thing...as is whether it'll actually be necessary to test or not...

    This is one of the worst bits about being the 'other half' of this...I have to wait longer to find out what's happening!

    If she's had parents evening she's probably dehydrated so urine should be strong. ;) You're right about it not needing to be fmu though if testing on or after Af due
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Good news and bad news.

    No AF today, cramps but no bleeding

    But I can't convince her to test. She wants to wait til Saturday because she doesn't want the stress of it when she'll have to go to work the next day.

    Whereas I WANT to test for exactly the same reason. So I don't have to be stressing over whether AF will suddenly start tomorrow.

    I wish there was some way I could sneakily test!

    I get it though, either way it'll cause stress. We want to have a child, but there will be a very real fear that we could end up going through the same thing as last time. Her job is stressful enough at the moment, so I can understand why she'd want to switch off from the TTC. I'll just have to be patient!

    Thanks for all the good wishes

    I kindve agree with Mrs Freddie on that one, not sure I'd want to go to work if it was good news! Wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything. Fingers crossed will look forward to checking over the weekend, good luck Xx
