Scared to take a pregnancy test

Hey,
So I am almost a year into my TTC journey and my period is late. I want to take a test but I'm scared about seeing another negative test. My mental health has definitely been impacted by the TTC journey. Please can I have some encouragement/support. Should I take one or keep waiting - I'm about 3-4 days late.

Hi lovely, I don't have any advice but just know you're not alone, you're strong and brave - no matter the result ❤️

And since you are 3-4 days late, it might be worth a try. You're going to be okay ❤️

Bless you. We are in the minority of people it seems who are actually too scared to take a test (as opposed to testing early). If you are 3-4 days late this sounds really encouraging so I would take one (it’s also better to do so in case you have a chemical - not saying that you will!) wishing you the best of luck!! 🤞🏽

I would take a test just to get that peace of mind good luck darl xxx

At this point I would test, but I'd also check my recent cycle and rule out if I ovulated late

Hi ❤️ maybe trying thinking what would make you feel better. Would waiting cause you more anxiety or would taking a test help ease these worries no matter the outcome of the test. If it’s negative will it help to feel all the emotions linked to this now so you can then have a reset? If it’s positive then amazing news!

It is so so hard isn’t it but whatever you choose you’ve got this! Xx

I have a 22 month old but my body is telling me have another

I wanted to wait until he was 3 for another but I went through such a weird thing where I was craving another baby. Didn't help that I had dreams too. At first I thought "oh ovulation" but then it lasted for a month and more and I knew it was not ovulation.

Anyone else had the same feeling

Is this normal?

Hi ladies.
First pregnancy here. So a little inexperienced.

Found out Monday with a clear blue “1-2 weeks pregnant”.
I’ve bought some of the basic dip tests now so that I can test every few days to make sure the line is getting darker. Anyway did first one today.

The line is soooo faint.

I think I’m panicking a little as I was expecting it to be a bit darker after having such a “pregnant 1-2 weeks” in plain writing.

But then again… novice here - would it even be this dark so early on?

By medical standards I’m 4 weeks 4 days (going from the first day of my last period).

I’m probably expecting a bit too much xx

4 days late but negative test

I’m 4 days late as per when I ovulated from ovulation tests. Took a clear blue early detection on Tuesday night which was negative. Any thoughts?

Blood Type

Does anyone else have a negative blood type?

I’m O Negative (my partner is O but we don’t know positive or negative). They will test my blood again at the dating scan and predict the baby’s blood type. Has anyone had or been told they will have to have anti D injections for different blood types?
