Absolutely no way I'm pregnant, but...

DH had the snip about 9 years ago.

I am 36.

Very regular periods.

I am 10 days late.

5 days ago I thought I was starting because I had brown discharge. That carried on a couple of days and has now stopped.

I've had soft cramps for about a week but nothing starts.

I know it's completely ridiculous of me to think pregnancy but it's very much like my pregnancies!

I also usually have sore boobs before my period but not got that.

I feel ridiculous spending money on a test when my husband is sterile of 9 yrs.

Looks like a line to me. I’d retest in a couple of days as hcg is supposed to double every 2 days so should be darker by then if a true positive. Hope you’re ok OP.

anotherscroller · 29/06/2022 20:03

I have the opposite, my
periods are getting more and more regular year on year (I’m 33)
what’s your source?

whatamidoingwrong1 · 29/06/2022 20:03

Definitely a line there op

ChaiTea20 · 29/06/2022 08:05

Usually if I take a test I come on later that day ha

Yes, it's a conspiracy by Boots and others to make you buy a test. Seems to be working... 🤔

iloveyankeecandle · 29/06/2022 20:01

I'm sure I can see colour in that line? I'd be going out to get a digital if it was me.

TolkiensFallow · 29/06/2022 20:00

what was the time frame on the test? Most aren’t 10 mins … if it was outside the time then that’s an evap or something…

Bluetrews25 · 29/06/2022 19:59

You WERE both very fertile. It does drop off, remember.
Hope you are ok, OP.

Maireas · 29/06/2022 19:58

Yes, it's highly improbable. Unlike most people here I really couldn't see a line, so I don't think you're pregnant. I hope whatever is the problem sorts itself out.

girlmom21 · 29/06/2022 19:57

It's a definite line but it could be a false positive. If you're cramping too I would definitely test again. I hope you get the outcome you want x

Apparently as you hit your mid / late 30s you can start to get slightly irregular periods seemingly for no reason, it’s your body prepping for menopause

Dont worry until you take a test

I really hope that’s not true, I’m 33 and they’ve only actually got properly regular in the last year or so.

Applegreenb · 29/06/2022 19:56

I think it’s more likely to be a false positive which is common with those tests.

Good idea to retest tomorrow with first morning pee.

Did your DH take both test to check if he had sperm in his sample. Apparently, most me only do the first check and don't bother doing the second test after a year.

I saw your test. I wouldn't consider that a line. I had loads like that over the many years of IVF. I would get a clear blue.

He did only do the first test. But it's been 9 years.

With my other kids I got pregnant the first month of trying, every time. So we are both very fertile.

If the vasectomy failed from the outset I'm sure I would have gotten pregnant way before now.

It's a first response not cheapy.

I couldn't be bothered going pound land so went to another local chemist. They didn't have any cheapies either.

I can't really see colour to it.

And my cramps feel worse tonight.

I really can't see it being positive.

I got darker lines the day my period was due with my others.

Unless it is a chem... Which would still be as worrying as would mean sperm is present still?

Can I save my morning wee and use a test in it a few hrs later?

crabcakesalad · 29/06/2022 19:19

Looks like a line. Congrats OP

Leaving aside the fact that a line at 10 days late wouldn't look like that, why would you say "congrats" to someone whose husband has been sterilised and who said she's anxiously waiting for her period?

Bagpuss2022 · 29/06/2022 19:53

Pay the money for a “decent” digital I would expect it to be darker 10 days late and could be evaporation as you didn’t read it in the timeframe

Zippy1510 · 29/06/2022 19:53

That looks very positive to me

InTheNightWeWillWish · 29/06/2022 19:50

There is a line but I would expect for 10 days late it should be a lot darker and not take the full 10 minutes to come up. Option 1 - it’s an evap. Option 2 - you ovulated late and it’s early so that line will darken. Option 3 - you have lost the pregnancy (don’t know how you feel about that) but if your period doesn’t come you’ll probably need medical management. Take a test in a couple of days, the only way you need to do first morning urine is if it’s option 2 but even in a couple of days you won’t need morning urine if that’s the case. Try a different brand. Personally I hate FRER, I’ve had a dubious line on them before (which didn’t materialise when I wanted it too) but supermarket own brand ones tend to be good in my opinion or the cheap dip sticks.

Amid · 29/06/2022 19:49

Yep a line. How are you feeling OP ?

Hallyup89 · 29/06/2022 19:49

Cheapy test, ten minutes before it came up, 10 days late and would be darker, and I see it as grey, not pink. I think that's an evap line.

User3568975431146 · 29/06/2022 19:45

My friends hubby has the snip and everything reconnected itself a good number of year later. The result is now 10 years old and loves football!

TiddleyWink · 29/06/2022 19:45

It looks positive but much too faint if you’re that late. Could it be a chemical? As others have said, you need to test again. Hope you’re ok OP.

everylittlehelp5 · 29/06/2022 19:43

I see a line too OP.

Caaarrrl · 29/06/2022 19:42

Surely the line would be much darker if you're 10 days late?

LilacPoppy · 29/06/2022 19:41

That’s positive but f you are ten days late it may well be a chemical.
