My period the previous month had been a week early. I expected that the period this month would also be a week early. It wasn't. <br /><br />So I waited a week, to see if it would come after four weeks. It didn't.<br /><br />I start freaking out. I was about to start University — it would have been THE worst time for me to get pregnant. When my friend eventually came round so I could take a test, I had a mini heart-attack when BOTH BOXES filled with colour, which meant I was pregnant. I ran out of the loo crying. <br /><br />Turns out that both boxes fill with colour before draining away to leave the result. I wasn't pregnant. Scariest thirty seconds of my entire life. I look forward to the day I want that test to come back positive.

On top of this, my visa had run out the month before, and I couldn't sign up to a GP without a valid one.<br /><br />My first test came back negative, but will a very faint line creating the plus symbol. The instructions tell you this is a probably a positive. Massive amounts of tears, two weeks, and twelve other tests later (all negative, but I wasn't convinced)I finally shelled out for one of those super expensive digital ones that tell you how far along you are. Waiting for the little digital hour glass destroyed me, but it finally came up not pregnant.<br /><br />An hour after this, the cramps set in and sure enough it was confirmed that I was not pregnant. It still irks me that it waited until after I had shelled out £20 for two of those digital pee-sticks.<br /><br />Ended up peeing on the other one any way, just so it wasn't wasted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734266766203380275.post-51687711507466226982012-09-10T11:10:08.162+01:002012-09-10T11:10:08.162+01:00Anon: oh, she is.

Complete sympathies on this.<br /><br />I've had a coil since I was 25. I'd missed a pill, had to get the morning after pill but couldn't afford to buy it (!) so went to my local walk-in clinic and had the IUD instead. It hurt like buggery, but the wonderful thing is that you get five years blissfully worry-free. Oh, except for STDs obvs - use condoms kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734266766203380275.post-33271319951540650242012-09-10T10:52:19.129+01:002012-09-10T10:52:19.129+01:00Not ridiculous at all.

This being despite the fact that it I had been pregnant it would herald the start of the Second Coming. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm thrilled that you're thrilled with the result.
