Question on behalf of a friend


There must be babydust flying everywhere where I live as I have just been informed by my friend that she thinks she is preggo
However, she still hasn't had a BFP, she has done 3 tests and they have all been BFN. She is now 6 days late and having symptoms tto.
I have reassured her that it might be a dodgy test or her HGC levels aren't high enough yet but what do you guys think?

Cheers xx

The same thing you told her.

She should test in a week or so...

It's true that her HCG levels may not be high enough. Perhaps let her know to try testing again in a few days.

Has she tried using a sensitive one, like a CB digi? They seem to have worked for most of us!

If you want other cheap pregnancy tests, the ones from ASDA worked from 2 days before my AF was due for me and were only £1 for two. Which is obviously why I did 10...

Really hope your friend gets the result she's looking for. As other people have said, going to the doctors for a test/bloods is always an option!

I used the Boots homebrand. They were on special offer. And they worked quite early I think. Good luck to her!
