Just tested this morning and it says - pregnant!! I don't believe it for a second I've been trying nearly 4 years and never even been a tiny bit pregnant and only had sex once this month. Help me please, I mean could it be a dodgy batch

Clearblue said they'd had no complaints so far, but that it is only 99% accurate, what's the chance of it being that 1%.

Sorry if i'm not making much sense but i can hardly breath never mind type!!

Thanks so much everyone. I never thought I'd have one of these threads. Dp is at work and i'm walking round in a daze clutching my pregnancy tests The neighbours must think i'm a loon.

As I said we only had sex once this month, on our anniversary just after dp had proposed. It's like something out of a romantic novel

youve bought a tear to my eye too - I really hope it works out for you. I also found out I was pg the week before I was going to start fertility treatment - it's quite common apparently as you kind of give up on it happenning naturally as you know the next step is coming so you don't stress about it and hey presto!

I'm actually crying now - go and buy more tests!!! (I did 13!)

pgwithnumber3 · 22/08/2008 10:32

Wonderful! I don't think you can get a fake positive only an inaccurate negative. Let us know!

schneebly · 22/08/2008 10:31

Oh how fantastic! 1wish I hope everything goes well for you my dear! Congratulations!

ScaryHairy · 22/08/2008 10:31

Oh wow - I am so very pleased for you.
If you call your fertility clinic consultant I bet they would do a blood test for you if you want. Although you really don't need one.

Cramps are pretty normal for early pregnancy.

I was starting IVF in the next couple of months as well. I was only saying to dp last night, that i couldn't see the point in IVF because I know i'll never get pregnant

And how weird is this, two nights ago I dreamt that i got a bfp with that clearblue test, i can't believe it

ooh I got all excited at this thread too congrats

Flamesparrow · 22/08/2008 10:23

I don't know you and I'm welling up with this thread!!!

I always get mild cramps at the start of pregnancy

OMFG!!! the second test has just come up BFP as well. Its lighter than the control line but it's pretty obvious (you don't have to hold it up to the light or anthing)

I still don't believe it and don't think I will till i get a blood test or something.

I keep thinking this is a dream and i'm going to wake up in a minute. I really don't understand it, i'm shaking.

I've got mild af cramps though and have had for about a week, I'll probably come on by the end of the day, you watch.

Congratulations! False positives are so much rarer than false negatives!

SparkyMalarky · 22/08/2008 09:43

Is this the most exciting thread this morning?! Fingers crossed for you 1wish - am keeping my fingers crossed

Thankyou all so much. Right I'm off to buy some different ones. I'll not hold my breath though, I know this is some weird trick clearblue is playing on me.

I'll be back

How completely fantastic! I don't know you but I have a tear in my eye.

Test again, but I don't think you get false positives. Tests look for HCG and you only get this if you are pregnant.

MmeLindt · 22/08/2008 09:23

Crossing my fingers for you. Good luck!

and lol at a tiny bit pregnant

Bucky2008 · 22/08/2008 09:20

Definitely do another test to put your mind at rest. I am keeping all my fingers crossed for you!
