Dear Midwife,
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant now for the past 6 months. My last period was on May 15th 2004. I have had loads of pregnancy symptoms so I took a test which showed a weak positive. So I decided to wait a few days take another and that came up negative. On June 26th I started spotting and this was only light but last for about 30 minutes a day for 5 to 7 days.
So you think you're pregnant and are anxious to run down to the store and snag an HPT? Which test is best? How soon can you test? Should you test first thing in the morning or is any time ok? Do any medications negate the test? Read on for answers to these questions and more.
