how faint is faint?

just done a Tesco test. The line was soooo faint I could only see it by holding it at a certain angle and in a certain light. Surely it is negative?

AF due today, had lots of cramps etc as though I am getting it...

yes definitely pregnant!! How many children do you have? Why do you think your dh will be so cross?

alexsmum · 21/02/2006 12:10

cece-you will never regret having a child,but you might regret NOT having a child.
it'll work out fine.

I think he will be cross because

-he said he didn't want anymore

-he is just aboout to take a new job which means he will be away from home a lot more

  • we are currently renting, and are supposed to be relocating out of London

I don't see these as problems but he will.

I already have two and he has said that that is enough. They are 4 and 2 by the way! On the other hand I have been saying I want another one for a while...

i'm sorry cece but when he agreed to the withdrawal method of contraception( what do you call someone who does this? mummy!) then he knew.he might not admit it...but deep down he knew.

I wondered if that was the case - he has also been very reluctant for me to sell the double buggy

time of day and strength of wee are important
It should be at least 4 hrs since last wee, in order for hcg to build up in pre af date testing
You got lines
You are pregnant
