At the start of your pregnancy did you suffer from lots of hypo's. I know the weather changes your insulin resistance but my period is also late. If it had come on when supposed to i would be finishing tomoz. I can't do a test at mo as I'm on holiday but get back Sunday so will do a test then if i haven't come on by then. Sorry for the waffle and bad message. I'm doing it on my phone while having a hypo. Good combination lol x

oooh exciting!!

My bloodsugars were all over the place in the first few weeks, but it was also Christmas and New Year which might have had something to do with it. Your insulin needs do decrease in the first trimester so it could be a sign. Are you feeling tireder than normal or have sore boobs?
 
Tired yes. I could sleep for Britain. Sore boobs not so much at mo but last week yes. Was going to buy a test but went to bank and had nothing in there Haha. Got a test at home I'll do Monday morning if I've not come on by then. Keep telling myself I'm just late as i don't want to get my hopes up. Tummy feels a bit jittery too but i keep thinking my body is playing tricks because i want it so much x x

I just knew i was.I sounds like you are but you never know. I knew i was didnt matter what the tests said.If your too early some dont pick it up, get clearblue shows you how many weeks too, always handy.

I have been having loads of night hypos, 4 this week its doing my head in. Im fine in the day, but no matter what my bs is before going bed or what i eat i keep having hypos, this morning it was that low all my reader said was LO which means its too low to read it, like under 1.5. x
 
As Rachel said...my blood sugar levels were all over the shop in the first trimester too. Initially (must have been the conception) they sky rocketed and then they dropped and I was forever hypoing. I couldn't get my levels up at all from about 5/6 weeks and really struggled.

As Phoebe says the only way you are going to know is by doing a test but as she rightly states you have to wait until after your period is due as it checks the levels of HCG (?) which increase after this time.

Good luck :D

How many did you do, beause we had a negative and 3 positives, when they did the wee sample at a&e that was a no but it wasnt until the blood results came back and shown the levels where really low, so i was only 4 weeks.

If not hope you join us soon, its hard work but exciting 🙂
