All week I have been driving myself crazy - period late (never late) - smells crazy overpowering - husband throwing up every morning for a week and all I want is sweet foods (normally a savoury chick) but the tests said NO even the Dr said 'do a test they are normally pretty good and your only a week late' did a urine test in the surgery and that came back negative. Well I just did one and you guessed it its a BFP YES !!!!! and I had to share it with someone! 
Only thing is Im now concerned as to why it didnt show up for at least a week after my period was due. DD1 showed on tests a few days before due - has anyone else had this happen? and what was the outcome was everything ok? Sorry but am a born worrier. Just phoned a friend and she had the same happen and she had twins!

thanks guys - it makes me feel a bit better -its just strange - had stomach cramps as usual when ovulating at the usual time - tests were clearblue (mind you that doesnt say much 
)Are you both having single pregnancies? DH is now a bit worried it will be twins (DD is only 6 month old!)
I suppose i will have to wait until the scan to tell - when I didnt get a BFP from the clearblue test DH read the leaflet that comes with it (because we were so convinced I was pregnant) which does say that results may be a problem if multipul pregnancy then he phoned the helpline straight away who confirmed that it might mis read the levels if its twins. Mentioned this to the Dr when I saw him last week and he thinks the twin thing is rubbish but it will be interesting to find out! Think I would be ok with it - hubby is really good with our DD but his job takes him away A LOT so mum and dad might have to stay when I get too tired - am very lucky they are really happy to be involved alot.
Ooh, Dummy, congratulations!!
And how exciting!!
That info about non-identicals running in the female line makes sense, as it means your ovaries are particularly prone to firing out more than one ovum at a time. This also increases after about 35.
My friends were in exactly that scenario, by the way - when her first daughter was 6 months she fell preg with twins. It's busy in their house!
The one thing I would say is that it is really important that you and DH come to terms with twins (if it happens) as soon as you can and form a united and mutually supportive front. He sounds fab though, so I'm sure you'll be fine!
My friend's DH was a bit of an arse from the beginning...went into denial, then refused to prepare himself for the twins' arrival. Made their marriage and caring for the babies so much harder.
Wow Dummy, what a babytastic house you would have!! Imagine all that love
have no idea - phoned Dr to let him know I was and just have to fill in some forms but I should think it will be around Christmas time 
forgot to say thank you last night - l was really shattered by bed time (oh come on 8pm is late
)!
Thell - am over 35 too! DH has come to terms with the twin likely hood and l think he would be almost disapointed if it wasn't now so its just a waiting game but I will let you know when I have my scan.
Same happened to me.....and it was because i conceived twins late on in my cycle...3 days before period was due actually..and i 'took a chance'.....
I didn't take a chance actually..' i took a risk'...
.
Ignore me..i am a multiple mum .
I had 2 weeks of BFN's before my positive tests and I am now 14 weeks with only 1 baby in there!
Let us know and congratulations
Hi guys - just to let you know that I have an early scan booked in for late on friday as have swollen to the size of a house MW wants me checked. Have gone from a size 14 to an 18 already and only 6wks pregnant - it could just be because DC is only 7 months old and I have no stomach control but it will tell us if its twins etc - will let you know :)
