Probably a daft question...

[woose]

If you do a pg test and the line is so faint. I did one this morning and it was. Does it mean that even if it is positive it is less likely that the pg will last because the HCG levels are much lower? Sorry if I am asking a silly question I am just not sure! I took my test on the day my period is due. The line was just as faint this morning as it was yesterday evening!

Nope I have 4 little faint lines running around my feet just now. Sometimes its just the test or how diluted your pee is or the stage in pregnancy. Congratulations :) (and stop finding reasons to disbelieve it - enjoy)

Ahh thanks, your post really cheered me up! I think I am trying to find reasons to think it is not true. I have been so worried about it all day. I want a certain thick line before I show my DH. He does not want another baby so he is not going to be happy, I am dreading telling him! I think if I show him the tests I have done he wont believe them. Also the more I think about the possibility of number 3 coming the more I get scared. Is it much harder having 3 0r 4 than 2?

You can get those digital ones, they are more expensive, but maybe you will believe it if you see the word rather than interpret a line.

In my experience the hardest jump between children was from 1 to 2. With your first you can entirely devote your time to them, when number 2 comes along its a massive shock because you have to suddenly fit 2 little peoples needs into it. By the time you get to 3 you are already running about to school and nursery and clubs etc and you realise that the baby will fit in around your life.

Your DH can be as unhappy as he likes, its not going to change matters now, and it takes 2 to make a baby. He may well be a little bit scared at first but I'm sure he will come around. Do you really think you can wait a week or so before you tell him?

I keep seeing his face and think gosh he is going to be so scared when I tell him, and this is putting me off. We seem to have enough on our plates at the moment.

I agree with you about the jump between 1 and 2 being a shock. It is completely different having two. I will need to buy all new things as we hgave everything baby away

There is a lady over on the pregnancy board going through the same thing as you (more or less) she has a thread going and you may be able to support each other.

I think the problem with hiding it from your DH will be that the longer you leave telling him the harder it will be because it will get to the stage that he will know you have been lying to him.

I gave all my baby things away after each child I had, I was so sure I wasn't going to have any more :) famous last words. Its all so cheap now and there is lots of help available. Stop worrying. Have you done another test? Or have you decided to believe it.

I wouldn't do a digital test until you get a clearer line - they're a lot less sensitive and may show a false negative at the moment. The lines should gradually get darker.

I have done another test, and its definitely positive! I did a first response one and the second line was pretty clear. What with that and the feeling sick and horrible taste in mouth and tiredness, I don't think there is a doubt. I will have to tell DH soon.

missymoom:
Thank you for your sdvise, you are right, I have already been totally paranoid about all these test boxes/receipts hanging around. Waiting will not make it easier.

Thanks for the tip about the other lady with the same issues, I will look out for her.
