Thank you hoping she is on her way!! It sounds so weird Definitely don't think I have ov this cycle. Had some period cramps on Thurs or Fri last week (days all merging into one haha) and nothing since but I have spots ALL over my face which is normally a sign. I've also been on antibiotics for a tooth absess and that's given me thrush (tmi sorry) and hubby broke his "bango string" (again tmi lol) about a month ago so not even been able to BD haha

Does anyone know how early you can start taking pregnancy tests? I think my AF should be due on 14th March, it's obvs too early yet, but how about next week? Or should I just wait and see? Would be lovely to get a BFP on the 14th as that would be our 3yr anniversary

The pregnancy hormone hcg takes time to build up to a detectable level. Pregnancy tests are most accurate generally from the first day of a missed period. Although you may get a positive a day or two before that.

People vary and sometimes you might not get a BFP if you test on the day your period was due as your levels are too low and you may have to wait a few days to get a positive.

With our first pregnancy we tested a week after the first day of missed period and only got a fairly faint positive.

This time we only waited 3-4 days because OV was a week early so she was actually nearly 6 weeks pregnant, so the BFP appeared almost the second the test strip hit the pee!

It's up to you when to test, but doing too early will just give you a negative regardless of whether you're pregnant or not.

Personally I'd wait til you're late before testing.

JoJo I agree with Freddie best to wait until after AF is due as can take a while to build up the HCG levels FX for you though!!

Feeling really low so had to post...

Maybe I'm weird but I've already thought about the announcement on social media about a pregnancy. All my nearest and dearest would find out from us outside of that but for the people on there, it would be a way that I've planned. Been so excited about the way we would do it.

So tonight, a friend of mine (who doesn't know about our plans or above) has announced in the exact way I wanted.

Rather than feel happy for her, I feel so jealous and heartbroken. I feel like a selfish b*tch

Hugs Rachel - it's quite natural to feel this way (both the planning and the jealousy). Before having my son (we struggled for a long time to have him), my friend sent me a picture message to announce, and I cried.
