Yet another squinter... help

Hi everyone,

Bit of a background. I have been TTC with my partner who works away for 8 months. Never had a hint of anything before but I just took a FRER this morning as I have a night out tonight so didn’t want to drink if there was a chance. I’m 10 DPO and I can definitely see something. It’s clearer in real life. Wanted to check before I FaceTime my partner. Can’t believe I’m posting one of these after reading so many. Thanks all!

Yes, I see it on all of them. Looks positive, as there is a bit of pink! Smile

Breadnroses · 08/09/2018 08:17

Same, can definitely see a pink line 😊

wizzler · 08/09/2018 08:18

Congratulations

ThanksHunkyJesus · 08/09/2018 08:19

I can see it too, maybe get a digital one that says pregnant on it before calling dp to be sure?

Mcdonald234 · 08/09/2018 08:21

Omg I can't actually believe it. Thank you so much! I know 8 months isn't as long as some people have been trying but after seeing nothing but stark huge BFNs for this whole time I am in shock!

I will be manically testing now every morning in the hope that everything goes well!

Looks like my first one at 9dpo and I'm now 27 weeks.. congratulations! :)

BeautifulPossibilities · 08/09/2018 08:28

I can see it!

BeautifulPossibilities · 08/09/2018 08:28

Get a digital and see what that says.

ShutTheFridgeUp · 08/09/2018 08:31

Definitely a positive! Congrats!

EyeDrops · 08/09/2018 08:42

Yep, that's a line Smile Congratulations!!

Yakadee · 08/09/2018 09:18

Didn't even need to squint! Congratulations x

Glitterandunicorns · 08/09/2018 09:22

Congratulations OP! Thanks

Mcdonald234 · 08/09/2018 09:23

Thanks so much everyone. Called my partner and he can definitely see it too which I didn't expect. Over the moon.

Congratulations, I definitely see a line! Digital ones need more pregnancy hormone (double the amount needed for FR and Superdrug own, I believe) so I would hold off POAS one of them for a few days.

Breadnroses · 08/09/2018 09:42

Aww congratulations 💐

Ebonyx · 08/09/2018 13:57

Congratulations! Xx

LittleDoveLove · 08/09/2018 15:57

Looks like a line to me. Congrats OP! Thanks

Mcdonald234 · 08/09/2018 16:10

Thank you! I just stocked up on more tests and folic acid too. I go out so much I'm not sure how I'll manage to keep this hidden for 12 weeks. Any tips for keeping it under wraps at an upcoming hen weekend? We are in a lodge so thought I'd be best just pretending to drink!

Just say you are on strong antibiotics.....

Yakadee · 08/09/2018 16:18

I'd go antibiotics or like you say, non alcoholi drinks x

Mcdonald234 · 08/09/2018 17:03

I work with all of the ladies I'm away with so thought the antibiotic one might not work.

I just realised I bought the rapid results test instead of the 6 days early one. Do they differ in sensitivity?

OP posts:
LittleDoveLove · 08/09/2018 18:25

I've had that problem as we go out loads and I think people are getting suspicious. I say I lm on a diet for my holiday. I just deny it if someone says it or makes a joke. Speculation isn't fact that's how I see it! Haha. You could say you aren't feeling very well for the hen do maybe OP?

Gemsie1984 · 08/09/2018 18:45

Yes they differ in sensitivity, the rapid results one is meant I think from a day before AF, the early result is up to 6 days sooner.

Mcdonald234 · 08/09/2018 22:41

@littledovelove I think that will be my plan for the second night. How far on are you? It's so tough I go out every weekend and couldn't get away with just saying I didn't fancy drinking because everyone would guess! My close friends know we are trying so hopefully they'll know to wait until I feel ready to tell.

@gemsie1984 I suppose it's good that I got a line on the one that's less sensitive! I am eagerly waiting tomorrow morning to POAS again. Got a clearblue but might keep that for another few days. My period isn't due until Thurs even though my app says Sat.
