Am I pregnant?

16 replies

Littlemermaid1 · 07/06/2019 22:26

My cycle is normally 25/26 days maximum, I'm now nearly 29 days and still no period Shock I took a supermarket pregnancy test this morning and no double line, so negative. But as it's so odd for me to be late, this evening I used a clearblue ovulation test and it shows two strong lines (I dont have pregnancy tests and cant go out due to sleeping dc).

Could the ovulation test be showing I'm pregnant? I'm a bit terrified now, as it's a guy I've been quite recently dating and pregnancy definitely not planned if it's a positive Shock

Please can anyone advise??? Thank you Flowers

This is the ovulation test, taken over two weeks post ovulation due and after period was due.

i don't think ovulation tests will show positive for a pregnancy test. If your ovulation is delayed for whatever reason then of course your period would be late so it could just be a late ovulation.

Really the only way to tell is to buy a stick tomorrow and pee on it. Good luck

Actually, ovulation tests can and sometimes DO show as positive when you're pregnant - lots of people on the conception boards have had positive results on OPKs when they turned out to be pregnant.

The only way to know for sure is to get a pink-dye test tomorrow (try and avoid the blue-dye tests as they're terrible for evaps).

Be brave!

Ok thanks, tomorrow I am probably best to buy a clearblue pregnancy test I suppose not a cheap supermarket one. It's going to be a long night...

Hope you get the result you want op. Do you think you could be pregnant ? Have you had any unprotected sex?
Are you able to get to a supermarket now so that you have it ready to do first thing?

yellowgreenbluepurple · 07/06/2019 22:51

I think it's unlikely as the supermarket test was negative this morning. Could you just be ovulating later?

Thanks @noonooyou unfortunately I cant get to the supermarket now as I'm home alone with DC asleep. I've got cramps etc but I know that's a symptom of both periods and pregnancy...I'm nearly 40, how did this happen. He is a really nice man, but I am really hoping I'm not pregnant.

I think ovulating later would be v unlikely, I'm pretty much clockwork with my cycle. I'm hoping this is a very unusual random late period.

What contraception do you use OP?

I'm pregnant. We used condoms. I dont know what to do. I'm also meant to be infertile, we paid for IVF with my existing DC (exhusband, ten years trying). I dont know what to say to the man, we've only been dating a couple of months 🙁

Oh crap OP...

It’s completely up to you. Remove him from the situation momentarily, do you want to be a single parent to two? Can you financially and emotionally cope with that? Can you deal with this guy potentially being in your life for the next 18+ years (or forever in ways really).

Talk to friends irl if you can and give BPAS or Marie Stopes a shout, they have excellent counsellors available to help. When you feel as though you have decided, tell the guy.

Thanks @Pinkvoid. I'm still in shock. I've talked to some friends, I dont know what to do yet. I will call Marie Stopes on Monday as theres one nearby.

You think it best not to tell him yet? I could tell him when I see him tomorrow...I know I need to assume that whatever he would say, I would be a single mum no help from him. If I kept it and he was involved more then great, but I cant rely on a man I dont know very well.

I could afford to keep it financially (just about) but I live in a fairly small three bed house, so DC would have to share (I have two DC with exh), I wouldn't be able to afford a bigger mortgage. Exh helps with our two DC so they would be well cared for. Just not sure I can cope with a baby on my own as well as two other children and a full time job...

Personally I would wait until you have a clearer head. That way you go into the conversation knowing what you want to do or at least having a better idea. Obviously entirely your decision though, if you feel better telling him tomorrow then do that.

It’s a tricky situation but either way, you know you will survive and get through this Flowers.

Thanks @pinkvoid. I have also booked a termination for two weeks time, gives me time to decide but if I do decide not to go ahead then obv prefer to terminate soon.

SarahBeeney · 08/06/2019 23:56

Wow what a shock OP,especially with all your IVF previously.
Best of luck with whatever you decide Thanks

SleepingStandingUp · 09/06/2019 10:11

Sorry it wasn't what you were hoping for Mermaid. I'd probably tell him once you know if you want the baby or not.
Even if it splits you up, if you keep the baby he needs to provide financially.

Good luck
