+ Preg Test 2 weeks before period due

[divadobs]

My period is next due on 14 August but I have taken 2 pregnancy tests today, both have come up positive straight away. How reliable is this given I have yet to miss my period? My friend says not to get too excited as there's a chance the pregnancy can come out with my period??

could you be pregnant from the prvious cycle? as most cycles would mean the ovulation date of around this time.

have you taken test correctly?

are you on any medication that can effect tests results?

It looks almost certainly like you are pregnant.

I just wonder if your last period was a "normal" period in every way.

Hi - thanks for responding. We've been trying for 10 months and I had a normal period last month starting 14 July. Not on any medication. I only did the test today because due for appt at hospital for 6 monthly colposcopy check and because we've been trying for a baby my husband suggested I checked to be on the safe side. I havent had any symptons but now I think about it I have noticed the small bumps around my nipples are more pronounced - no idea if that's a sign? I guess I'll just have to wait it out until my next period is due but I'm dying to get excited but am not sure how reliable the tests I have done are. I have purchased another testwhich tells you how far gone you are but that says not to be used until the day of your period!

i would wait as long as you can before testing again.

I think, as does sqad by sound of it, that you fell pregnant before this cycle

It would make sense I guess, in hindsight, because I couldnt imagine a preg test showing positive so early on otherwise. It came up with the second line almost immediately and I have taken the same type of test previously so I know it has shown negative before. I suppose I'll await the 10 days or so (the longest 10 days in my life!!) in the hope my period doesn't arrive!

A friend of mine had periods for most of her early pregnancy and didn't find out she was pregnant until 23 weeks.

Hi - it's been eating me up!! I have just done the Clear Blue test and again it came up straight away as pregnant and says '2-3 weeks'. :)

[bednobs]

those digi ones aren't known for being allt hat reliable regarding the conception indicator, however, you need to add on two weeks to that, so it looks like you might have been pregnant for a while rather than days

congratulations by the way!
