(Early) pregnancy test

Hi,

I gave birth over 3 months ago (a tough delivery with an emergency C-section) to a beautiful daughter. Unfortunately, she was only with us for 8 weeks before passing away (SIDS). Because of all the emotions this brought, my partner and I haven't been very strict with contraception. I got my period on September 11th (lasted 3 days) after 8 weeks of breastfeeding.

As you can imagine, my cycle isn't quite back to normal yet.
Since last week, I've been extremely tired, my breasts have gotten bigger (not more tender), I lost a few drops of brown blood for one day, and the next day I had some stabbing pains in my belly. These are all things that feel quite familiar to me from when I was pregnant with Anne.

So my question is, does anyone have experience with early pregnancy tests? And when is the best time to test? Every site says something different. And, as you can imagine, I'd really like to know.

Hugs, Moeke

    I’m sorry, but I can’t give you an experience-based answer to your question. I just know that the pregnancy tests are very sensitive and that the leaflet says you can test 19 days after unsafe sex. I really want to wish you lots and lots of strength! Losing your little girl is such a heavy thing! Hopefully, you’re pregnant again soon. It won’t replace your beautiful Anne, but she’ll always be with you!
