I'm pregnant aren't I?

[feelingfedupnow]

I've done enough pregnancy tests in the last 7 years to know.. but I can't talk to anyone except my husband about this.

How long do the pregnancy hormones last after having a baby?
As in, how soon after having a baby can you get pregnant?

At 2 weeks pp you are fertile I believe.

Looks like a very faint line to me, I’m not sure how long the hormones last but I think you can get pregnant again very quickly.
Hope it’s the outcome you are looking for

There's only 11 months between my two children so you can get pregnant pretty quickly after having a child. I can see a line on your test so I would say you are pregnant. Congratulations.

My DS is 5 weeks old and we had sex at exactly 2 weeks (for about 2 minutes and he didn't finish inside), we got caught up in it but stopped as soon as we realised we shouldn't do it.

We had sex again at 3 weeks but I had the morning after pill, just incase. I'm EBF so I thought we'd be okay.

We already have two other children (DS was 6 in February and DD will be 5 in July.. 17m between them.

I don't drive due to epilepsy but DH does.. although he works 8:30-5 so wouldn't be able to help me with school. And we'd need to get a bigger car for if we ever decided to go out, which we probably wouldn't ever want to do!

We have a 3 bedroom house in perfect location which is close to supermarket, train station, bus stops and a park a few minutes away. One room which is suitable for 2 child, one that could be suitable if desperate.
DH is only on 16k a year because jobs round here are very hard to find, no overtime in that job either.

The sensible option is to have an abortion, which is what my head is telling me. But my heart is saying don't have one.
DH is being very supportive. He said that he won't tell me what to do because it's my body. If I decide to have an abortion, then he will come with me.

I'm feel pretty damn stupid right now ☹️
Literally 3 hours ago, I was sitting with my GP discussing having the implant. Now I'm feeding DS and I don't know what to feel.

Oops that was long!

I never wanted to have an abortion in my life.
But I never expected to be in this situation.

If DS was our only child, there would be no question. I would continue with the pregnancy.

But with our other two and now the newborn.. it isn't fair on them. They older ones have adjusted absolutely fine with the new baby. DD is besotted by him.

I'm 25 and DH is 27, we've been together 10 years and married 3. We are very settled and happy. Newborn was planned. Our relationship could handle another child, but realistically our life (and bank account) couldn't.

It is an extremely faint line I would retest in a couple of days, if it gets darker new pregnancy if not it's old hormones. Hope your ok x

I don't really see a line to be honest.

I wouldn't get too worried at the moment about what you're going to do. I would test in a couple of days, when any line would be stronger. If it's stronger, that's when you start working out what to do.

and fx for the outcome you want

I cant see a line. Get another pregnancy test.

I'm 10 months younger than my sibling. It's entirely possible to conceive again very quickly and breastfeeding is not an effective contraceptive.
It is a very very faint line though, I'd retest in a couple of days and see if it has progressed at all.

I'm more astounded that you were ready for sex that soon after giving birth, good on you!

No one can tell you what the right answer is. If you don't want to have an abortion then don't do it, if you decide to continue with the pregnancy then I'm sure everything will fall into place, in my experience almost everything always does.

I can't see a line either. Test again before you discuss your options.

The 2nd line is there, very faint, more so in photos 2 and 3.

Bad luck OP if you are pregnant. I'd agree with testing again in a few days to see if it's a stronger second line by then.

Don't rush to make plans now. See what happens and ask your DH to keep an eye out for jobs with a higher salary, which would give you a better buffer financially even if this turns out to be a false alarm.

Op I think it’s probably a bit soon to know. Like redannie I had positive pregnancy tests for 5 weeks post birth and between 2-6 weeks post misscarriage. There is obviously a great variation as many women fall pregnant quickly after child birth too.

I’d second taking another test and seeing if it gets darker. Also it is possible that small amount of retained placenta can cause a faint positive ( this would need sorting but unless you feel unwell isn’t as scary as it sounds). So definitely get to you gp if you have another positive test.

Sorry your going through such a scary and stressful time x

I was always told that in the weeks after having a baby you are more fertile. It's faint - maybe test in a few more days. I hope you're ok.

I can see a line.

Your h sounds lovely. I have 3 and there are 33 months from start to finish. Whatever yoi decide it will be right.

Sorry to not be of more help.

Hope it goes the way you want. remember you don't have to make a decision right now about anything. Just take time to process.

I have another First Response test so will wait a few days and do it in the morning.

Full time jobs around our area are like a needle in a haystack! It's more of a "who you know", and it's his best friend & best friends dad who helped him get this. It will go up, not sure what to but it's trainee wage, not sure when trainee stage finishes.

I was back up the school 3 days after I had DS! I didn't tear and labour was very quick (2hr2m). I felt back to normal down there very quickly. I lost a lot of blood after birth so my bleeding was never heavy after.

I fully agree that we should've used a condom. I will feel completely stupid if I'm definitely pregnant. I had an appointment with my GP today to discuss getting the implant.

But yeah, I will take another in a few days.

I took this after posting.. sent it to DH which is why that finger is there.

I will wait until Saturday morning.
Hopefully just left over pregnancy hormones 🤞🏻

I can definitely see that line. Can't know for sure though whether its left over hormones or new so as others have said test again in a few days and go to the gp if it is still positive.
If it is positive then you have some time to decide, don't rush to make a choice either way as its a big decision! Your dh sounds lovely and supportive. I can understand your worry financially but I'm sure you would find a way to make it work, equally if you feel like it's too much of a strain and you don't want to go through with it then don't worry because you don't have to. There is no wrong decision as long as you are sure about it.

There's a definite line on the test. HCG will stay in your system 3-4 weeks postpartum. There's a SLIGHT possibility that it could be residual hormone from you previous pregnancy, but given your 'oopsie' - it could very well be a new pregnancy. Only you can decide what to do OP, it's your body. Definitely test in 24-48 hours just to double check.

I wpuld stake my like on you not being pregnant. You can very faintly see The lines I a pregnacy test before you even take it (very faint). Tests are usually definate and I there is not a clear line there, it is just the mark where the line would come up if you were pregnant

*stake
*life

Why were youtaking a text anyway? We're you hoping to be pregnant? Or did I miss that you had other signs of being pregnant?
