Absolutely no way I'm pregnant, but...

[NahNoWay]

DH had the snip about 9 years ago.

I am 36.

Very regular periods.

I am 10 days late.

5 days ago I thought I was starting because I had brown discharge. That carried on a couple of days and has now stopped.

I've had soft cramps for about a week but nothing starts.

I know it's completely ridiculous of me to think pregnancy but it's very much like my pregnancies!

I also usually have sore boobs before my period but not got that.

I feel ridiculous spending money on a test when my husband is sterile of 9 yrs.

FRERs are totally rubbish these days. I don't trust them anymore. The line is visible before you even dip it and when it's wet it's really hard to tell whether it's got colour to it. I don't trust them anymore unless it's an obvious line with colour. Like that I would say negative.

My Dad had the snip and along came my brother. These things do happen and before anyone says - yes a DNA test was done and he is most definitely my Dads

It’s possible… I don’t want to freak you out, but my husbands fist snip eventually reconnected after a few years. So he had to have it done again, and this time we made sure it couldn’t possibly fail again! Lol!
luckily I didn’t fall pregnant, the reconnection was discovered by chance

@WhenISnappedAndFarted Did your poor mum have to have a DNA test done on her son to prove she hadnt cheated??

Let us know how you get on OP

OK, then. Follow up with a doctor to confirm one way or another if your period does not start withing 24-48 hours. Either the vasectomy failed (and they do not promise 100% success), or something is amiss. Possibly you are remenopausal, or something else is going on. I had that happen, and it was polyps...easily removed.

Do not move in with him. By toxic what do you mean? An abusive,toxic person rarely if ever changes, be very, very careful. Your gut instinct is the best measure and yes, you would be very vulnerable.

There was a thread a couple of weeks back where the OP was indeed pregnant and her husband had had a vasectomy. She was worried about family and friends etc thinking she had cheated. Those tests have a habit of giving a line like that though, better to get a cheap strip one. Could order off Amazon if you can't get to the right shop

@Hellomama5
you really need to create your own thread for more responses specific to your situation

You’d think it would be a lot stronger line if you’re 10 days late. I’d test again in a few days. Go and get some cheap Poundland tests

Just want to add pregnancy symptoms without being pregnant can be a symptom of an ovarian cyst. If you keep testing negative, then get yourself to a dr for a check up.

Why can't she be pregnant? Plenty of people became pregnant post vasectomy including my friend.

What on earth?

Hope you are ok this morning OP.

That isn’t a line.

Why can't she be pregnant?

She can. But the strength of that line at 10 days late wouldn't suggest so.

Keep an eye on the pain OP, I would bare in mind the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. It might be worth a call to your GP if your normal period doesn’t start soon.

All the best

The test detects the human hormone…. Which isn’t present unless pregnant That is exactly what my test looked like… my child 18 now! Congratulations

Hope AF arrived through the night and it’s not a pregnancy.
Would definitely chase up that test for your DH though!

Evap lines and false positives for other reasons both exist

The colour in the test line can become more apparent just by being wet, although it hasn't actually darkened as such. The blue line tests are worse for this, but it is possible in the pink ones.

A very faint line at a point where it should be dark can be a sign that there is a pregnancy but it is not progressing.

I can never see the lines in these threads even though everyone else can. I can see this one, just, but as before, it isn't what I'd expect to see at ten days late.

Having stared at 100s of pregnancy tests over the years it's definitely a BFP but you are right it's very faint of you are 10 days late

I hate to tell you but when I was trying for my second I was gutted as I had my period cramps a few days before and then on my period due date. I thought “oh great, I’ll have to try again next month”. Tested and nothing.
wasn’t until 5 days late I got that very faint line like you. Period cramps turned out not to be period cramps but they felt exactly the same.
Have you retested OP? Xx

Amazed at people saying it’s not a line.

hope you’re ok OP.
