3 days late....terrified to test

[Mumita]

Hello!
I'm 3 days late for AF and i'm terrified to test.  I don't have any symptoms not even cramps.  Mildly sore bbs as I did from before.  But that's it.  I'm scared to test.  i've done everything wrong this month,  I haven't even taken my vitamins!
Should I wait to test since I don't have any symptoms.  The last tie I was pregnant I was bloated and sore bbs and it ended in mc.
i'm scared.  Did any of you have any symptoms when you found out you were pregnant?

[AnitaRFrith]

awww that *****.  It will happen though.  Tell hubby he can't take no more work trips lol.  Hes got baby duty!  It will happen.  Keep your chin up.  God Bless, Anita

She got a BFN. And AF arrived.. I think she's pretty bummed b.c I haven't seen her on the board lately.

[AnitaRFrith]

did you ever start your AF?  KEEP US POSTED

[AnitaRFrith]

keep us posted!

[asher01]

soo whats the news? did u test again mumita??

[laura1985]

oh my goodness girl! i am keeping you in my prayers tonight! i really think you are pregnant this time around! take care and keep us posted!

[iwannabemommy]

Good luck hun. Seems promising since theres no AF.. I hope you get a BFP if that's what you really want!

I know first hand about the worry kicking in...I found out at 10 dpo this time and since I found out so early it was hard for me to keep it a secret, and then the waiting...I understand.  Fingers crossed!  

[Mumita]

Your comment makes perfect sense to me, I think you said what I was trying to say in a way.  Yes, I think that the instant gratification is what bothers me.  Besides, not so much instant gratification when I have no symptoms, I'd know just to know and then all the worry kicks in; I don't think that there's any instant gratification in pregnancy same reason why I don't really like gardening, it takes a while to see any results.
Anyway.....I THINK I'M PREGNANT!!!!!

[leighanne143]

i agree, get a diferent brand.  the dollar store ones are good for confirming a pregnancy after you get a BFP on a different brand

[sweetangel7]

I guess if you have the patience waiting till you are 7 days late makes complete sense.  I think doctors use to wait until you were 2 months without AF to see you...We just live in an age of instant gratification and most of us have lost our patience...I am one of them!  Hang in there, take care of yourself and keep us posted.

[AnitaRFrith]

some test work differant that others.  Go get a wal-greens digital.  They look an work just like the clear clue test.  Keep up posted,  Anita

[Mumita]

Does this make sense to you?  my first preganncy ended in a miscarriage, if I don't find out I'm pregnant and just do what I'm supossed to do until I make a dr's appointment, it really helps me get a better perspective instead of worrying whether this pregnancy will end up as a mc again...
After I did those two dollar tests, it really killed my curiosity.  I mean I'll find out one way or another if I'm pregnant or not and it'll avoid the unnecessary worrying.  I don't know, I'm weird about certain things.  I'm really old fashioned in some things and I really hate medical intervention.
I'm never late and today I'm 4 days late, if I make it to 7 days late, then I think I am definitely pregnant. Soo, I'm just going to pretend I am pregnant and go with it.  I'll make a Dr.'s appointment when I'm 7 days late.  What do you all think?

[sweetangel7]

I know lots of women use the $store brand but I was so nervous I ended up buying a FRER and a digital ept even though they were more money I didn't want to risk a false negative.  Good luck, you'll be in our thoughts and I can't wait till you test!

[LauraB78]

I am still keeping my fingers crossed for you!!


Keep us posted!

[Mumita]

Well I took another one this morning and it was BFN, but I really think that these Dollar store tests aren't very sensitive.  
I'm never late so I really think I'm pregnant.  I'm 4 days late now.  I don't have af symptoms either but we'll see...I'll test again with a better hpt in a couple of days.

[momof2with1onway]

hi sorry to hear about the neg but hang in there!!!! i am 15wks and i still don't have any symptoms of being preggo!!! i also took hpt and i came out negative but i knew something wasn't right so i kept taking them and they always came back neg so i finally went to the doc and had them to do a blood test and bam i was preggo!!! i was already 10 wks and 2days when i found out. when i got back from the doc i took another hpt just for fun and it came back positive that time. plus with my first child i didn't find out until i was four months preggo with him because all the hpt came back neg and i was scared to tell my mom so i didn't go to the doc until i started showing!!! ( i was 17 at the time)

[msgorgeous]

sorry about the Neg result but i personally dont like the dollar store tests im not there biggest fan. I know how much you want this :) and i really hope this is it for you :) maybe you will be one f those woman who dont test pos till 8 weeks :)

[LauraB78]

Hey girl!

I had just PM'ed you and then found this thread..

BUMMER on the BFN! =(              I was really optimistic this was your month....

I guess it's a waiting game for a couple days! (UGGH!) You can always re-test when/if AF doesnt show in the next couple of days!! =)

SSBD and I am off to work..PM me..

((hugs!))

[sweetangel7]

Good morning Mumita!  Sorry to hear about the bfn last night but we all know fmu is best...so I am hoping you test today with fmu and I'll have to wait until after work to check on you!  Hope you have a good day!

[AnitaRFrith]

mine were positive too with all 3 pregnancys.  take one when u get up in the morning.  dont give up ... its still possible!  some womans hormons produce slower than others.  

[kikicoates78]

They are very sensitive they say 25 but Iv read reports of 12. Mine was positive and my beta was very low, I think they are good! GOOD LUCK tomarrow :)

[depressed748]

yeah I am not sure the sensitivty of them...but I wish you all the luck in the world..I am hoping you do get a BFP

[Mumita]

we'll see, I'm about 3 days l ate maybe if I give it a couple of more days the test will come up positive.  Who knows, maybe I really am not pregnant.
