Well with all the excitment over the last week, I am very very sad to say that I am not pregnant, I have done numerous tests and had a confirmation from my doctor.
It is true to say that I am very disapointed to say the least.
I felt so sure i am pregnant. but obvioulsy i am not.

I have become very paranoid and wont let my partner near me as i was so getting used to the idea of having a child that now it seems like its been taken away from me.

I just thought id post, for those ladies who keep asking how I am.

Kind regards
Gems

Some of the super markets have Chemists which stay open all night now.

Hi gems
PM me if you like and I will help you work out your dates and see if pregnancy is likely.
here in NZ all midwives carry stocks of pregnancy tests and they are free.
Im not sure how much things have changed in the Uk but if I were you I would phone the antenatal clinic at the local hospital,explain you cant afford a test and see if they can fit you in for one.
Regards Tania

What about the family planning clinic, has got to be easier to get in to see someone than trying to see GP... or rather than GP, one of their practice nurses if they have one.

We're all as eager to know as you are lol.

its such a nightmare to get to these places with the hours i work, are family planning clinics open at weekends?
If not i think im going to have to borrow some money from somebody as I cant take much more of this! LOL!

we have a clinic here that houses lots of departments including family planning and know they did do a late night day worth seeing if there is one by you

Or

Take a sample down to surgery and ask them to send it off for a test explain you couldnt get an appointment think they should do it then.
