It looks like a very faint line to me. I can't even begin to believe it.
It's 7pm at night.. so not first urine.

I always thought I couldn't conceive. I had anorexia for 9 years, I didn't have a period for 8 of those. My doctor prescribed me HRT 3 years ago to try and bring them back and I've had 4 periods in that time, very sporadic. I tried to test for ovulation for a year but nothing so I assumed I just didn't ovulate anymore.

But I've felt strange. Headache, sore boobs, nausea on a night (not a morning but right before bed) so I thought... well. I best check. What's the harm. I'll buy a cheap set.

I think I need to buy a Clear Blue. But I'm absolutely shaking right now. Am I seeing things? I need the "is this a line" queens!

Deffo a line. Congratulations!❤️

That’s a very pink line you’ve got there! Grab a digital test tomorrow and use FMU or SMU and keep us updated! Congratulations!✨

Figtree11 · 30/08/2024 19:32

Looks very positive to me @ToGinOrNotToGin Congratulations, sounds like you very much deserve it!

torturedpoet13 · 30/08/2024 19:35

100% a line there!!! 👶🏻

ToGinOrNotToGin · 30/08/2024 19:43

Oh, your kindness ladies is so so appreciated. I thought it was just me! I didn't even dare to believe, I was about to book a vision express appointment thinking my glasses were funny again Grin
I guess I best go get myself a digital.
Thank you so, so much. This is our little secret for now. I hardly dare to hope or believe until I get another. It was so faint but I guess they're so sensitive any line is a sign..

Would a digital pick up tonight or am I better off waiting until morning? If I even can wait that long haha. 2 pack maybe

id wait until the morning and use FMU for an accurate result! I know it’s so hard to wait, but it’ll be worth it. I’d grab a few while you’re there😂 with my first baby I swear I did over 5 digital ones just because I didn’t believe it! Fingers are crossed for you, please keep us updated!! ✨✨✨

ToGinOrNotToGin · 30/08/2024 21:12

@kdmummyx you're so right. I've secured the goods, £17.80 for two digital Clear Blues from the garage! It was the only place I could subtly go tonight.
Tucked away in my bathroom drawer until morning. Now to wait.
I will definitely keep you all updated! Sadly, my sister passed away just over a year ago, and since then, I've never had anyone to share anything like this with. So to have some virtual hand holds and some people I can actually share this (possible) news with so soon, means so, so much. Thank you!

@ToGinOrNotToGin have everything crossed for you in the morning! Hope you manage to get some sleep with the anticipation!

MrsPositivity1 · 30/08/2024 23:29

It's a line. Congratulations, I'm delighted for you

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 30/08/2024 23:37

Definitely a line. Good luck for the morning!

ToGinOrNotToGin · 31/08/2024 07:35

Well ladies... I am absolutely shaking like a leaf but it appears we were right. There was a line.
I'm a little dubious on the weeks part, as I'd say from tracking when we DTD it's more likely 6-8 at the moment. But, it's in black and white. No denying that!! Shock

I think I'm just going to keep this to myself (and you guys) right now. At least until it's further and there's been a scan etc.

My partner, he's wonderful, he does want to be a Dad. But recently (as in just a month ago believe it or not) we had a long conversation and decided we'd wait and travel a little before saving up and trying IVF with a donor egg in a few years time. So the timing will shock him. And I don't want to launch that on him if there's a chance this is so early on.

My lord I feel sick, and I don't think it's pregnancy related haha! Time for a cup of tea I think before he wakes up and I do the ultimate poker face. He's out today for a Stag, so at least I have some time to process! Oh my God I just can't even process this yet, I'm going between wanting to manically laugh and panic.

Eeeee!! I’m so happy for you!! I’ve been waiting all morning for you to post😂😂 deffo have a cup of tea and relax, I’m so happy for you!!

@ToGinOrNotToGin this is amazing 🤩 I’m not sure I’d be able to keep it from my DP!

Elliesmumma · 31/08/2024 09:11

And just to add, I’ve heard this so many times. When you’re in the depths of infertility and people say “it’ll happen when you stop trying” and you just want to punch them in the face, but actually… you make other plans and boom! BFP!
I’d just booked the trip of a lifetime and a month later, a very unexpected and unplanned BFP. Trip cancelled 🤣

Yes! I have heard this so many times and just thought yeah, whatever. I had just booked to go on a holiday of a lifetime for my 30th in March. A New Orleans stay and a Caribbean Cruise! Never done anything like it before - I am glad I only paid the deposit now.
I actually think conception may have happened when we went on a tour of a few cities in Europe last month. A lot of red wine, great food, sightseeing and bam... an egg finally drops Grin

Flocke · 31/08/2024 12:03

If a digital says 1-2 weeks pregnant that means you're around 3-4 weeks pregnant in dating terms. It would be unlikely you could be 6-8 weeks. The digitals date you from conception rather than last period which is how doctors date you to start with. If you think you conceived last month you should still be getting a 3+ on a digital or a very strong line by now. So I think you must be earlier on than that and conceived 1-2 weeks ago. Admittedly the weeks digital can be off, but your first test should be much stronger if you're 6-8 weeks pregnant.

CaptainCabinets · 31/08/2024 12:08

Oh! Massive congratulations 🤩

Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy ❤️
