Hi just to let you know that I was 12 days late then came on but i had come off the pill 2 months earlier so maybe that was the cause of late period.

my actual doctor is really good- but the receptionists are crap- really just nosey middle aged menopausal bats designed to get between you and any medical help at all! not all like that obviously just seems the only ones i get to talk to are lol. didn't know that about the blood test thanks for that!! not that it applies to me but handy to know if someone asks! :)
I have bad doctor and bad receptonist haha not aving a good time at the mo lol. its good to find out the options you have when trying for a baby.xx

didn't think you found out with a blood test? it's usually a 'wee on a stick' situation isn't it! you can do a pregnancy test at your local pharmacy sometimes-mine do them for £5! but it's just the same as any you would buy or that the doctor would do-again it's "wee on this please", it's because of the hormones your body produces when you are pregnant- it shows up better in the urine! hope someone knows more than me on this one- but good luck-9 days late is a good sign! why doing test 4- have you not got a positive result yet? coz even a faint result can be a positive and just test again after a week to be sure- fingers crossed x
oh ok heard u can get a bloody test duno lol! :S no positive results yet fingers crossed thou been advised by the doctor to do it 2mra or latest wednesday as I will be 2 weeks late then! been so mad my emotions are all over the place!! xx
