I don't know what I want the answer to be. I'm in a peculiar situation.
Probably no, but better now than never.

My period is due today. I thought I could feel it getting ready to start. I'm not even totally sure why I took the test (probably because it's the first time in my life there's a realistic chance I could be pregnant).
Taken in the evening, drank lots of water so quite diluted urine. OTOH because I thought it would be a definite negative I left the test for a while then glanced at it so definitely longer than the 5 mins recommended.

Having read the thing about so-called "evap lines", due to all the above reasons I'm thinking it's a chemical, it hasn't stuck. If there's even a line there.

Is there a very faint line? Have I gone bananas?

i think that’s positive. Give it a couple of days and if no period arrives try again first thing.

Hope you’re ok.

I definitely see that line!! Have you any more of those tests!

ShirleyNotAndDontCallMeShirley · 31/10/2022 22:52

Yes, I have more tests.
I think I might be in shock. Can feel my heart pounding. Bloody hell. Fuuuuuck. But I'm also grinning my head off.

I'm in my late 30s. I'm a fucking statistical anomaly, it should takes months.

OMG.

Will do more tests. Morning ones. Haven't forgotten the sensations of pre-period so may be a brief positive. But still, OMG

I don't think I've ever been more grateful for Mumsnet existing!

Thank you

Definitely a line!

Just looked at the test again. Line darker - definitely there.

I definitely see a line

Really relieved to hear about the grinning. My statistical anomaly (complicated ivf nonsense rather than age here) is asleep in 2/3rds of our bed. I am hanging off the edge. He is 5 whole years old with a bed of his own ffs. He still makes me grin my head off. Really hope it all works out for you, whatever the outcome ends up being.
