    thanks!

    i did a test last wk, which was negative, but i still haven't come on my period so thought i'd do another.

    i've no real symptoms of pregnancy, other than being tired - but that's prob laziness! last time i had loads of morning sickness, but none @ the mo. is heart burn a symptom of early pregnancy cos ikeep getting that.

    i was also thinking that my period could be late cos i only came off the pill last month (well 6 wks ago)

    Hav eyou had a period since? It can take 4-6 weeks for it to come back, and up to a year before it gets back to normal. If you were 2 weeks late, I would have expected the HCG levels to give you a big fat positve within the first 5 minutes.

    no nothing.

    i personally don't feel pregnant (i knew straight away last time), but usually i am really regular (before and during taking the pill) so just thought i'd double check
    Lead me not into temptation, I can find the way myself.

    I'd say it may be an evaporation line, the only way to be sure is to do another test, maybe first thing in the morning when the hormones are at their strongest.

    Another thing you could do is a Clearblue digital, they have the window that says pregnant or not pregnant. These are expensive though. You can also get cheapie ones at Savers.

    Hope you get the result you want!

    Actually it can be up to 18 months! I went for just over 9 months without having a period at all when I stopped the pill :o Wasnt nice!

    OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH CONGRATS!!!
    :j

    This happened to my friend - wee'd on strip, 1 line negative came up, chucked it away, later it fell out of bin with Two Line Positive!!

    Buy the ones that say 'pregnant' and 'not pregnant' - they really are idiot proof. I had them both times and I'll never ever forget how the first time I picked it up and it said

    pregnant

    such a little word!
    :rotfl:
  • def do another test

    if you are congrats :beer:

    i had my son and september and I have been on a 23/24 day for the last 5 mths. The first day of my last period was the 1st june so i expected to be on again around the 23/24 and its not happend so i have allowed up to day 28 and still nothing :cool: So i have done a couple of tests and they are negative so now confused if i am pregnant or not. Even spoke to a local m/w and shes suggested testing i a weeks time nas the Hgc leval may not be up..:o

    im just finding it all a bit strange as i have never been a irregular or a late person . they only time i have misses them is when pregnant

    Has anyone else suffered the same ?

    Any advice appricated..
