Found out today I'm pregnant. I had a MC 4 weeks ago. Had 2 weeks of neg tests and today a positive, followed by many more tests lol.
Ds is going to his dad's in a bit. Toddler asleep. So we're getting take away anyway. Was thinking to put the tests in a clear bag and tie them up. Then wheb I collect his kebab is put it facing outward between the polysyrine pack and newspaper? Or is that disgusting lol
My head is everywhere and not thinking straight.

No I haven't got a bun. And he wouldn't go in the oven if getting takeaway. He'd think I'm a nutter if I asked him lol

Um kinda gross. And I know you are thrilled but I think I’d wait a few weeks. Just enjoy the news the two of you first.

Pipandmum · 17/05/2019 18:43

Oh wait I see it’s your husband! For some reason I read it as his dad you were going to tell! Doh!

HollowTalk · 17/05/2019 18:43

I don't understand, OP. If you had a MC four weeks ago then how could you be testing two weeks later?

Ragwort · 17/05/2019 18:43

Just tell him, the news itself will surely be exciting enough without having to make an event out of it?

Do a scavenger hunt.

Whisky2014 · 17/05/2019 18:44

Id ask him if he wants a drink to celebrate. When he says "celebrate what?" You show him the sticks! Nice and easy

Al2O3 · 17/05/2019 18:46

As long as the polystyrene box is recyclable and you recycle it and the newspaper is not the Mail, Express or Sun, your suggestion is very, very good.

And informative. I didn't know it was possible to get pregnant so soon after an 'MC' (not the military cross I now assume).

But good stuff and enjoy the evening.

Dollywilde · 17/05/2019 18:46

I read one on here once where the poster was in the kitchen and asked her DH to get her a fork from the drawer and the test was in the cutlery tray (with the cap on!) which I always thought was quite cute! Might not work if he’s having a kebab tho!

I started to bleed 4 weeks ago. It was over very quick. Had a neg test a week later but still kept testing for a further week. Don't ask. My head was messed and I didn't want to belive it. Despite gp also checking and Co firming that pregnancy was no longer.
Today I just felt the urge to do a test as I have very tender breasts. And a second line showed. Because its a blue dye, I was advised to try a FR. And within seconds it was positive.. And many more after that.

I didn't realise it could happen do soon either. The doc said expect a period withing 6 weeks roughly. But nothing to say it can't happen straight away.
I'd never of believed it as on previous threads. I had to have treatment to have ds and dd for pcos an endo . Altho I was told that after childbirth, conceiving could be easier. Dd is just over a year. I can't get my head round it all to be honest an it's Friday eve so can't even chat with GP

Do you usually drink?
Could you not say when he hands you a glass of wine "Oh no sorry I can't, it's not very good for a developing baby."

Nope neither of us drink. Maybe hide the tests in his lounge wear for after his shower

Could you get the felt tips to one of dd’s plain vests and make her a ‘big sister’ T-shirt. Then ask him to change her for bed.

Wrap the test in gift paper and give it to him after dinner. Tell him: a special present for a really good start of your weekend.

HollowTalk · 18/05/2019 11:23

I'm sorry, OP, I still don't understand. Are you saying the miscarriage wasn't a miscarriage?

HotChocolateLover · 18/05/2019 22:06

How did it go?

spreadingchestnuttree · 18/05/2019 22:10

Honestly? I think it's slightly confusing/surprising news so soon after a MC so tell him in a straightforward way, don't turn it into a game. Good luck though!

nighttimethoughts · 18/05/2019 22:18

Honestly OP personally I'd wait for a while until you can confirm this pregnancy is viable due to the recent miscarriage. I know that's hard to hear but I'd keep it to myself for a while.

AnyFucker · 18/05/2019 22:23

I am a bit confused by the timeline here

AndOutComeTheBoobs · 18/05/2019 22:29

AnyFucker presumably the OP ovulated 10-14 days after the MMC, and 4 weeks later BFP

that's how I understood it
