DH and I have been TTC for 9 months. I've gotten used to the monthly ritual of testing and getting a resounding negative, only for AF to show up the following day. AF was due yesterday so I did an internet cheapy test this morning, more to goad AF than anything else.

Faint line.

Promptly had coronary and thought 'must be a mistake, line is v faint, I can't be pregnant, I'll buy a fancy test today and see what that says before I get excited'. Not really had any symptoms other than the usual PMS type things - sore boobs, overly emotional and so on. (I have had the odd nauseous moment, but have been rationalising that in the usual way - not eaten enough, eaten too much, tired, too hot etc etc). Not mentioned anything to DH yet.

Fancy test is currently sitting in my handbag, waiting for me to pee on it. I can't bring myself to do it while at work, but can't concentrate on anything else.

Not sure what I'm looking for really, other than to offload. Does it matter if the line is faint? Does that mean the result is doubtful, or what?

Am bursting on a wee as well.

Congrats!! So happy for you. Grin Also excited to hear your DH's reaction!!

I said I had something for him and handed him the test, without telling him what it was. He did the best comedy-double-take I've ever seen, asked if I was winding him up (twice!), then said 'holy shit!' and gave me a massive bear hug.

Then he poured himself a double whisky.

That's a great reaction - incredulity, pleasure and alcohol required all in one step!

Great reaction from DH too - I did something very similar when I found out I was pregnant with DD1 after 11 months of trying

Congratulations again Grin

Youve made me feel all insane broody.

I had a very very very very faint line in january, so faint I only saw it when I was throwing it in the bin, a real hold it up to the light job. I promptly went out and bough posh tests which said 2-3 weeks and was in shock.

dd was born 2 weeks ago Grin
