So Creature and I popped in to Quality Save and invested 89p on a pregnancy test this afternoon. I needed a lift, and we giggled round the shop and joked about her standing looking ashamed while I payed for it. I read the instructions very carefully, and find that menopause can cause unreliable results, but they don't say if that might be false positive or false negative. And also that all sorts of unpleasant other things, like breast cancer, can result in a false positive. Thankfully the result was an unequivocal negative ... the little red line you can see shows that the test worked properly, and there would be a second line if you have a raised whatever hormone level.
It is now 53 days. My period came for half a day and then disappeared again. I think I needed to just do this to stop myself having silly thoughts about babies.
