Can you tell me if this test was positive?

Please can you tell me if this pregnancy test was positive?

Yes, that’s positive

Thank you. I thought it was. He didn't believe me. Is it OK to feel sad here?

Anyone around to talk? I feel quite low.

Why do you feel low? X

I'm listening.

Feel so silly writing this.

Husband and I have been trying for our first baby for a while. That pic is not recent it was taken a few months ago. I stupidly got excited when my period was a few days late and took the test with the above result.

Feeling shocked and amazed I showed it to to husband who said it was not positive, there was only one line and I was being ridiculous and a but thoughtless getting excited over a pregnancy which we had no proof existed. I said there is line, it's very faint but still there and will get darker over time. We disagreed on the matter.

Few days later I was so heartbroken when I started bleeding and obviously had to tell husband. He took the opportunity to say see I told you so, you weren't pregnant your period was just a few days late. You're being silly getting upset, the test was negative all along. I told him I was pregnant and it's called a chemical pregnancy.

He wouldn't believe me and I feel upset about it. I am sorry because I know i was barely even pregnant and its not really a 'loss' but I just want someone to tell me I am not losing my mind and they can see a line too.

Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss - because it was a loss, there was a definite line on that test.

Your DH was insensitive & it's sad that he hasn't been more supportive.

I hope you're OK & that you get another positive soon

Thank you, that means alot to me, truly.

I haven't told anyone else about it and feel quite lonely.

Absolutely a positive line. There's colour and everything.

I'm sorry you had to go through this alone 💐 It's horrible to feel so attached to the idea of something and then have it wrecked. I've been there but there is hope!

How awful OP. You were pregnant, even if only briefly. The process that causes that pink line is fertilisation, the embryo traveling up into your womb and implanting enough to start producing hcg hormone. Your period was not "just late". You had a chemical pregnancy and it didn't progress. You are entitled to feel sad and grieve it as a loss if that's how it is affecting you.

Is your dh always so insensitive and unkind? Ttc is such an emotional rollercoaster, he really needs to be standing there with you rather than belittling your feelings.

💐 to you

Thank you so much for your kind words. I can't tell you how relieved and validated I feel having people telling me that I WAS pregnant and that my pregnancy DID exist and DID matter.

I don't think husband meant to be so hurtful, think he doesn't understand and just thinks that when you're pregnant and take a test you get a nice big thick line right away.

Nonetheless, his lack of support on the issue still did upset me. Like I said it was months ago but I still feel sad about it but dropped the subject as he wasn't budging on it and all it was achieving was me feeling worse.
