Enlarged boobs definitely! Still growing haha! 15 weeks in and one cup size bigger.

You should really wait to test until the first day your period is actually late. Although some tests claim to give a result earlier. I have to say I tested with a cheap pound shop test 2 days before my period was due and got a positive result. But then there is such a thing as a chemical pregnancy (very early miscarriage) and you'd never even know about it unless you did a test too early so I reckon better to just wait until the day after your period is due.

Sore boobs and couldn't brush my teeth without feeling sick - all before my first period was missed.

We await your test result with bated breath - good luck !
 
my levels went crazy from needing alot more insulin because i was going to high for nothing to needing lot less because loads of hypos then when i found out at 5 weeks i had really bad morning sickness which wasnt just morning it was all day and night
 
hi girls made an appointment to go and see the dr today so fingers crossed. Done test well actually several and all show a faint second line. Think i am only a few weeks if i am. Hopfully will confirm tonight.

stacey- my sugars been up and down last 2 weeks not doing anything different. I am sooo worried about my high readings tho.
 
dont worry about your high reading they will go the other way in a few weeks and you wont remember what being over 9 was like!!!! Good luck today! Just to let you know that the Gp didnt do a pg test with me, i read somewhere that they dont do them now. COuld be wrong though. My first test was faint as well. Did you do it first thing in the morning? Your chemical is strongest then.
 
Sounds like congratulations are in order! :D

I did 3 tests and the line was very faint on all of them. I didn't go to my GP, I phoned the diabetes midwife as that's what they told me to do in the pre conception clinic as soon as I suspected I was pregnant. I went in to the ante natal clinic to see her the next day and despite the faint lines, they all seemed to find it quite amusing that I didn't believe I was pregnant after 3 positive tests 😱

And I'll second what Rach said about the highs, I was the same in the early days, odd highs for no reason, and they did come down. And you shouldn't worry about the odd high anyway, its inevitable that you'll get them throughout your pregnancy and you musn't beat yourself up about them.

Let us know how you get on with the GP 🙂

Any news?

I only had faint lines to begin with, but they got stronger over the next couple of weeks (yes, I did keep testing just to make sure). I also just called my DSN who ran the preconception clinic, and did not go to my GP at all.
 
hi girls

went to the gp but she said that they dont do pregnancy tests but i gave her my urine sample and she said she will send it away i got to go for a blood test tommorrow aswell. so none of the wiser really. I told her my tests had a second faint line but she didnt seem that botherd.
She said my urine was really cloudy so i might just have a urine infection. Gutted.
I just feel different this month. Sorry for going on and on about it.
 
Hi guys,
I couldnt wait any longer i had to do another test so bought the digital clear blue ones and guess what.............. I AM PREGNANT says 2-3 weeks i know its early days and i shouldnt get excited but im PREGNANT.
