So I went to the loo earlier and despite convincing myself this wasn't the month for some reason I thought I'd do a cheapy test any way. I did a couple last month that were negative so I know what one of those looks like but this one had a faint pink line!!

As I wasn't expecting that I didn't really pay much attention to time etc or thought it might be a faulty test so i've just done another two and got the same thing!

We're in the third month of trying for our first so I totally had a little mini freak out. Is that normal? I've calmed down now but I suddenly realised this is all so real now! Trying not to get to excited as my sister has had a few miscarriages but generally Yay!!

Trying to put a pic of the tests up if I can work out how. :)

Congratulations!

OMG AprilS massive congrats :) - I have literally just come on here to write the same thing!! We have been trying for 3 months, last month I was sure I would get my BFP as thought I had lots of symptops; this month I've had no symtoms and wasn't sure I'd even ovulated as no sign of ewcm (sorry if TMI!). Had one test left from pack last month and AF not due for 3 days so really didn't expect too much and I've just got the faintest line but it's DEFINITELY a line! Can't wait for DH to get home, so excited!!

AprilS · 17/12/2013 01:08

Thanks! :)

bigbangfan Congratulations to you to! I had the same last month, Really thought bfp for sure! Then Af was about 4 days late which is weird for me. So now I'm not sure when af would be due this month its sometime between now and 21st I guess. Not been paying to much attention as we were still in early days of trying. I've been showing DH but he didn't see the negatives last month so I think hes struggling to be to positive about it but hopefully tomorrows will be better. :)

Just put a picture in my profile of the tests for anyone who fancies line spotting. Did it from my phone though so it just looks like a blury mess my end.

Your page is private hun. :)

AprilS · 17/12/2013 07:33

Urm think it should work now.

Never normally awake this early (I work late) but woken for the second morning in a row really needing a wee. That must be another good sign!

toots123 · 17/12/2013 07:41

A good sign for sure.

Congratulations. As ive seen in other threads you should see your line getting darker and darker :)

AprilS · 17/12/2013 08:09

Thanks :) can't help myself just did a superdrug test that I was saving for when I thought I was. Added it to the picture. That looks good too! :) exciting!

They are definitely lines! Congratulations!

You sound like me this time last year, did a cheap test on Xmas eve just to make sure i wasn't pregnant yet (only been trying for a few weeks so expected a negative), and i got a very faint pink line. 8 tests and a clear blue to confirm later - i was designated driver that night! DS is 4 months!

Feelingfatty · 17/12/2013 09:30

Ah congrats same thing happened last week!! Except we have been trying a long time! But still bfps all the same!! Done a test again yesterday and do strong now :) xx

AprilS · 17/12/2013 09:42

Thank you Jrmumma, I'm a little less shell shocked now it's had time to sink in!

Congratulations feelingfatty!! Must be such a good feeling after trying for a while. I'm looking forward to that line getting darker then maybe dh will be more convinced lol.

Feelingfatty · 17/12/2013 16:15

Ah thanks AprilS :) it is all very exciting! Just hoping all goes well with the pregnancy now :) how you feeling about it all? Darker line today??

AprilS · 17/12/2013 17:28

Well today I did the superdrug one am which was the strongest positive yet but then did an internet cheapy just now that was barely there or negative (not sure if I'm seeing things) think I'm going to leave it be for a few days and see what happens.
I've had dull cramps and nausea all day though so that could either be a good or AF sign I guess. :/

Feelingfatty · 17/12/2013 18:29

I think internet cheapies are generally much weaker! I didn't get strong positive until day af was due on them and even then much weaker than other brands! I'm sure all is okay!

JaquelineHyde · 17/12/2013 18:34

I think congratulations are in order Xmas Smile

Get yourself a digital one and make it certain. Have you told dp/dh yet or will you keep it for a Christmas day surprise?

jacktherat · 17/12/2013 18:42

Congrats! You are making me want to test now. AF due tomorrow, and I had convinced myself that I was going to wait.

Feelingfatty · 17/12/2013 18:43

Ohh I would test jack!!!

bigbangfan · 17/12/2013 19:11

Congrats to you too Feelingfatty! I've just done one of the digital tests today after getting a v faint line last night and it was there in black and whiite - Pregnant! So happy and DH finally believes me lol!

Feelingfatty · 17/12/2013 19:39

Ah big bang that's fabulous news! Seeing it in words is definitely satisfying!! How you feeling?

jacktherat · 17/12/2013 19:51

Fucking hell! Sorry to swear but I just went out and bought a ClearBlue Digital and it only says I'm pregnant!

bigbangfan · 17/12/2013 19:54

congratulations jack! This must be the lucky thread atm! I was so shocked as well; zero symptoms this month and had convinced myself the test would definitely be negative! Am super-excited but it's such early days I daren't get my homes up too much. Doesn't feel real yet but I'm sure it will when symptoms start kicking in!

Feelingfatty · 17/12/2013 19:56

Woohoo jack! Told you to test!! Congratulations!! Bfps popping up everywhere!! GrinGrinGrin

jacktherat · 17/12/2013 20:00

Thanks fatty. Like you say bigbang, I need to calm down a bit and remember that its still early days.

AprilS · 17/12/2013 20:04

Feelingfatty - these internet ones are the same strength as the superdrug ones i've got which apparently are quite good. I'm going to do the other SD one i've got in a few days then if its still looking good i'll splash out on a clear blue.

Jaqulinehyde - told the Mr as i wouldn't be able to control myself! Hes loving having sticks i've wee on thrust in his face with me going 'look at this line!!!' Not :P

Jacktherat - this really is the lucky thread lol!! Congrats!

Now I just have to play the waiting game. I don't know exactly when I should be expecting AF as I was late last month.
