Just need to write this down! Been TTC for 4 years (with varying degrees of intensity), now at the stage where if it happens, it happens so I haven’t been tracking ovulation or anything like that. We took the pressure off.

I’m always a 28 day cycle. Always. Apart from once, the first month we were TTC, when it was 33 days. I remember testing, it was negative, then straight afterwards AF arrived.

Well, today I’m on day 33. Don’t want to test because I’m just sure it’ll be negative. But a little part of me is thinking, maybe…?

Haven’t spoken to DH about it because I don’t want to get his hopes up either (and I know he’ll just tell me to test - I think all the negatives in the early days have given me some kind of test PTSD!)

So, I’m just dropping this here. Limbo!

Congratulations! ❤️🌈

Went for an early scan today and here it is - we saw the heartbeat (just one!) and everything is where it should be. So hold out hope if your ttc journey is a long one!

Congrats OP - how lovely ☺️

From that line I'm with those who think you are probably about 23 weeks gone 😀 or having twins 😬

Hope all goes swimmingly 🙂

@Novella12

Thank you! 5 weeks 4 days according to a tracker

I would suspect you are more than 5+4 with that dye stealer. I was 8 weeks when I eventually got a stealer

Michellebops · 12/03/2022 09:26

Congratulations. What a beautiful line.

When my friend had a line like this it was twins 🙈

TrooBloo · 12/03/2022 09:19

Oh wow OP! So happy for you.

fancyfrogs · 12/03/2022 09:14

Oh I've been checking back here to see if you've tested 😁 congratulations!! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy x

Congratulations! Amazing news OP

MasterPretender · 12/03/2022 07:40

Congratulations! That's a very very pregnant test as the test line is way darker than the control line. I think it's called the 'hook effect' where if there's loads of hcg the dye is leached from the control line to the test line. You must be quite far along!

Thank you!!

@unsureaboutit9 love the zoom idea but I know I’ll need a proper cuddle if it’s negative!
