I don't know if it would show anything - pregnancy tests these days are pretty good at measuring low levels of Hcg, which is the hormone created by the body when a pregnancy begins. This hormone level will double every 2 days and is detectable in my blood and urine. When you do a blood test at your local gp this is what they measure, and they should be able to tell you what the level is, if I get a positive result I will go and do an hcg blood test at my gp next week to get a reading.
As for my symptoms, well not much to tell. I still have sore boobs, which still gets worse at night for some strange reason! I am still getting a few period pain type cramps during the day, but they seem to come and go, and that's about all there is to tell.
As for the rest of my day, I watched Big Brother, Love Island (I started watching this today as I heard that Steve-O from Jackass is now on there, which should make it really funny!) a few more cookery shows (I have no idea why I'm watching this, it's easy tv to have on while I'm surfing the web, and I like to see tasty things!)
I also spent a little time in the garden, although the 32C heat meant I couldn't stay out long. The Farnborough air show is on all week, which is just a couple of miles away from here, and they are flying some pretty cool airplanes over our house, I saw some sort of Mig and also the new Airbus 380 flew about 150 feet over the garden which was pretty spectacular!.
I also read a couple of news stories today, one which upset me and one which really annoyed me. The upsetting one was about a gang of people who are selling babies and young children for up to £80k to childless couples - thankfully they were caught and should go to jail. The annoying story was about how the number of people who die from alcohol abuse has risen from just over 4000 in 1991 to 8380 last year. This in itself is quite sad, however what annoyed me was the government spend £217 million a year on alcohol treatment, and treat over 65,000 people.
Why does this annoy me? Because figures show that IVF couples need only £53 million to treat 10,000 people a year to help them have a desparately wanted child, and I cannot get help, yet if I decided by choice to start drinking to the point when I'm endandering myself, then I'd get all the help I needed. I just don't understand why this is considered to be fair. The report aslo stated "An additional £15million has been committed for 2007/08 to improve interventions for alcohol misuse." I'd say if they want to kill themselves then let them get on with it. We are all adults and we know the risks of drinking. It's a choice. If these people can afford to get pissed every day (which isn't cheap these days!) then surely they could afford to pay for their own treatment.

I don't have a choice, I cannot have children as I had 2 ectopic pregnancies and I no longer have any fallopian tubes. I gave up smoking, I don't drink, I eat healthy, I excercise and I'm a good person, I also pay my taxes but I'm not deemed worthy to be helped. It fucks me off.
On a lighter note - this cat is from stuffonmycat.com and reminded me of Rasher, so I'm bringing him to you:
