Does it mean for sure I'm pregnant ? Dh and I had a condom problem but I took the MAP less than 12 hours after...my periods are due in 2 days but I have a feint positive on a tesco pg test...am I pregnant ???

I have done the test, it shows negative at first..then I looked at it again to make sure and there is another line !

How long did you wait before the line showed up? If it was more than ten minutes, it could be an evaporation line and may mean that you are not pregnant. If the line showed up immediately though, you have a positive test.

Nancy66 · 06/01/2008 13:07

it could be an evaporation line.

You should only consider a second line that appears within the allocated time - a line that shows up some time later doesn't count.

If you took the MAP within 12 hours then I'd have thought you should be ok. All you can do is wait until your period would be due and do another test.

sparklygothkat · 06/01/2008 13:16

depends when you looked at it, if it was more than 10 minutes then it could be an evaporation line.

Ihaveaproblem · 06/01/2008 16:11

Well I have just done clearblue digital pg test and it says I'm pg...so I am no ?
I cant believe it, it's the first time we have an accident, the condom split but I took the MAP first thing the morning after...I'm so gutted

OP posts:
Ihaveaproblem · 06/01/2008 16:15

Please tell me that clearblue is not always accurate

NAncy - you only need do a search here on MN to see how many people that MAP didn't work for......I'm one of them - like the OP I took it within 12hrs.....but I have a gorgeous DS3 who's now 7 1/2 months old.

Ihaveaproblem - not sure whether to say congratulations or not? Is this really bad "timing" for you?

ScottishSusan · 06/01/2008 16:22

Hi
Congratulations!!!

There are worse things to happen in life than a baby.... you may not think it now but in 9 months when you hold little bundle you will KNOW!!

Don't mean to be soppy and of course don't know your circumstances but just wanted to put a positivespin on things....Good luck

Ihaveaproblem · 06/01/2008 16:23

It's really bad timing, I have to have a termination and I'm devastated...reg the MAP, I have done the research as well on success of the MAP over the mumsnetter..I knew I'll be one of them..I cant believe I'm in this situation

oh

you need to get some counselling with this ASAP

do you have to have a termination?

if so, there are posters here who can give you the info and support

really sorry that this is not what you want. hard situation, i feel for you

TheIceQueen · 06/01/2008 16:25

Please don't rush into a termination - talk to someone (in RL) about it first - a counsellor.

Why is it so bad?

Ihaveaproblem · 06/01/2008 16:25

I have 2 dds, 1 is 3.5 years old nad the other one 8 months old...

Ihaveaproblem · 06/01/2008 16:27

I meant - I was talking with you. I cant have another baby, it will be a catastrophe, I'm waiting to be a childminder, we have a small house, not a lot of money.

lulumama · 06/01/2008 16:28

bless you , sweetheart. awful situation. ((((hug)))

lulumama · 06/01/2008 16:30

there is no easy answer

when you have plans for the future, and goals and you have waited to put them into practice, you are so torn. list of pros and cons? you know your own situation best and know if this is really a terrible thing, or if it is a shock and will work out.. have you spoken to DH?

all i know is, if you choose a termination, it is better sooner rather than later

Ihaveaproblem · 06/01/2008 16:30

Yes it is...it's shocking..I mean it's not like if we havent be careful...

OP posts:
Flllightattendant · 06/01/2008 16:31

Sweetheart, there is always a way. Don't have a termination if you already feel love for the baby. It will be fine.

I think I know who you are bt don't worry, I shan't tell

You are a wonderful mother xx

GreebosWhiskers · 06/01/2008 16:32

Do you really have to have a termination? I know small gaps can be hard - there's 15 months between my dd1 & dd2, a gap of 12 years (!) between dd2 & dd3 then a gap of 20 months between dd3 & ds - but it does get easier the older they get. Ex-sil did even better than me - her dd was born 2 weeks before her ds's 1st birthday.

Please don't rush into anything. It's very early days yet if your period isn't even due for another 2 days so take your time & consider the pros & cons before you take any action.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Ihaveaproblem · 06/01/2008 16:38

Do you know me Flight ? It's very possible...I have changed my name..dont know why, it's not like a lot of people cared about me on Mumsnet !
We are leaving on a small 2 bedroom place, I'm in my last month of maternity leave, my dh only earns 35 K a year, I'm on antidepressant...until I took them I was a really shit mother and a shit wife, what another pg is going to do to us..

OP posts:
lulumama · 06/01/2008 16:40

i suppose ultimately the question is.. will a termination and the aftermath be harder to cope with especially with a history of depression, than having the baby..... i can absolutely see where you are coming from.. speak to DH.. he can support you i hope and you can talk it through together

FWIW, i have no idea who you are

lulumama · 06/01/2008 16:42

oh no ! that sounds awful! like i don;t care! just have so many labour chats, i cannot always keep track sorry x

summerfruit -you are a known poster, I've certainly noticed you around, and I'm sure there are lots of us who care about you.

This is a very difficult situation to be in, and I feel for you. You need to give yourself time to work out how you feel, and talk to your dh.
Wishing you all the best.
