O/T pregnancy test question

I know there are some on the market that claim to work four or so days before you period is due.

I knew I was pregnant so I didn't do a test for 8 weeks!!

Depends which one you buy. I know there's one that's advertising as being able to detect sooner than any other, but I can't remember the name of it which isn't much help is it? Sorry. You could ask a pharmacist to recommend. Or just buy a few and keep trying!

First response is the one that is suppose to show up from 4 days before your missed period but the earlier you test the less accurate a negative result would be. If a test came up negative 4 days before your period it could be positive a few days late iyswim.

I'm still a few weeks away from my period so that means I have to wait ages! I'll just maybe try one tomorrow anyway. I'm sure I can't be, but my boobs have become quite tender and feel a little swollen (but might be imagining that) and I made the fatal mistake of googling it and that's apparently one of the first signs of pregnancy!

I've run my pills together this month so maybe it's a side effect of that... or maybe I'm the 0.09% person who's slipped through the 99.9% safety of the pill! If I am pregnant it would be a few months ealier than planned but we'd both still be happy about it, although I'm feeling quite panicky at the moment. ?

Sorry cant help there but its a bit exciting!!!

go and buy one! I wouldnt be able to wait any longer if it was me..

It's also a sign of an impending period☹️ I know it is really difficult to wait (I've been there!) but I would try and give it as long as you can before testing, At least until your period is due, sorry. Especially if you are trying, a negative result can be very dissapointing.

Fingers crossed for you!

Also, I was one of the minority when I got pregnant on the pill with my son!

I have run packets of pills together & have had exactly the same symptoms you have described. My boobs get huge & tender & I feel bloated. This is not good for weigh in day at fat club!!!

I'm sure that this is the reason for your sore boobs, so don't panic. However, I hope you get the result you want

If you are still a 'few weeks away' it is unlikely you are pregnant. You take your pregancy from the first day of your last period, but in reality you do not concieve until around 2 weeks after that. - so someone who is 6 weeks pregnant, has only technicly been duffered for 4 weeks.

However, the body is astrange thing, and being on thepill can change things, as can a person who doesnt have a regular cycle. Sometimes things happen at the wrong times - so deffinatly check!!

Thanks everyone. I have 8 more days of the pill left to take so then I'll find out, but gonna put it out of my mind now and just relax and enjoy my slightly swollen boobs while they last ?

And whatever the result is I'd be happy either way - pregnant then great, not pregnant then means I can drink on our honeymoon in December ?

I am the most irregular person ever- I usually go 2-3months between periods and have gone 5 months between! Anyway, my boobs were hurting on Monday even though it's only been 3 weeks so I was thinking 'Oh jesus, this is not a good time to be threating about being up the duff!'. Then I came on! extremely unusual for me (for unusual read 'NEVER happens') but I am putting it down to stress of wedding etc.

I have been off the pill for 3 years and not really very careful if I'm honest so figure there must be something wrong! But I will worry about that in a year or so.

I hope you get the result you want EGIB.

Be aware that your period on the pill is not a true period; it's a withdrawal symptom of stopping taking it during your pill-free week. So you could still bleed even if you are pregnant.

This is all really exciting. You should perhaps wait a little bit though before testing.

I'm having moments of panic like this at the moment though too. I recently changed pill brands and with this new one i get no break through bleed so at the moment i've not had a "fake period" for a couple of weeks. I too feel bloated but have been putting that down to having eaten too much over the last couple of weeks with the wedding. My boobs too have been a little bit tender, but i'm around the time that i would have had a fake period if i'd still been on my old pill so i'm putting it down to that. You do hear stories though of people that get pregnant whilst on the pill!!!!!

I hope you get the result you want though EGIB, and make sure we're first to know!! We'll after your H, and parents etc ?

I know exactly how you are feeling, i have been willing that last 2 weeks away! Google is a terrible thing as I have managed to convince myself that i am, but all tests I have done before have been negative. I am due on Monday and am now forcing myself to wait till Saturday before I do a first response.

We get married in December and like you if I am up duffed then it is just a bit early, if not will be drinking and trying on honeymoon.

Fingers crossed you get the result you want!

Well apart from the getting married part which I've already done, you could be me!! Good luck with your test as well x

Panic not - I have also run two packets of the pill together this month and my boobs are really tender - to make matters worst, they've also swollen and I feel like I'm going to burst right out of my bra. I've also put on about 3lbs in one week! (This is the first time in my life that I've looked forward to my period!)

It's much more likely that the extra hormones are affecting you rather than you being pregnant. At least...oh $^&*?

Seriously, my money is on the hormones, not on pregnancy.

Well with my 1st i was 8 weeks pregnant that was from the date of my lmp this time ( found out today ) im 5 weeks pregnant so 5 weeks from my last lmp....

Congratulations LL!! No bubbly for you at the wedding then!!

Congrats lovely-lady! will you tell people before the wedding, surprise them during the speeches, or surprise them after?

Thank you girls im over in bt now lol well bumping sorry for the pun to and from....

and hub 2 b is telling everyone at the speeches lol, he told me HE is lol.....

ooohh im excited lol and at least i will be an extra week over so i will still fit in my dress next weekend lol

Doc once told me that the most dangerous pills to miss in terms of falling pregnant were the first 3 or 4 of a pack....

If you have still got half a pack left and havent missed any then it is very unlikely.... even if you had missed a few then in theory you wouldn't be ovulating til about now anyway.... and if you have been on the pill a while then its unlikely your body would ovulate again straight away...

More likely to happen if you had an upset stomach etc as the pill may not have been absorbed properly.... may be worth doing a test anyway just to see...

Cheers did a test yesterday which was negative - thought I'd double check I hadn't got preggers before I joined pills together. Haven't had any tummy bugs other than a slightly funny one during my migraine last week. Will now just wait another week and I'm enjoying my new boobs. Hubby took a few pics of me in the week and I have a cleavage ?
