Lemsip type things with decongestant in them are not recommended in pregnancy at all, so since you still havent come on.
Paracetamol is the only thing you can take for a cold in pregnancy. Drinking lots of water to keep your fluids up is pretty much the best thing for a cold anyway. I think half of those cold remedies prolong it in the long run anyway.
In the quote I actually found about this being a symptom of pregnancy, am I right in assuming it's not a very common one because I'd never heard of it
Missing your period is a bigger symptom tbh
id be doing another test if that was me!!
ooooh, sign!!
what cold symptoms do you actually have?
Could just be a cold, but id be inclined to test, what with that and the missed period so far, sounds promising.
As you say though, not testing, wont make it not be true if it is, so theres no hurry.
I hope it is hunny. that would be great news cos I know how much you want it.
Id hate to give false hope, but id seriously either do a test, or at least make sure youre taking your folic acid and doing all those healthy things you should be doing if you are pregnant.
I hate taking the test, i know how you feel....i think i should be given shares in pregnancy and ovulation test companies the amount of them i buy!
It certainly wont give you a false positive.
In general, false positives just dont happen, apart from very very rarely if youre on certain fertility medication.
Also unless your taking fetility meds containing hcg, you wont get a false positive
How did it go?
on google it says that a faint line is indicative of an early pregnancy, as long as you have read the result within the specified time-frame.
I've been reading this thread for weeks, just never posted anything as I'm no help, but I'm excited for you as well now!
