lucky first i need you to breath deeply. second i want you to remember girls and boys are so completely opposite in their way of thinking and doing. by the sound of what he's doing, he feels bad but also feels like he can't do right. does that make sense. he's become defensive in a not politically correct way but he's not left so he wants to make you happy in the end. i'm by no means making excuses but i'm trying to see him like i see my own dh. i know he has days where he feels he's failed completely after truly trying and it's just because he didn't do things they way i would have done them or the way i would have liked them done. does any of this make sense?

Argh how annoying is this - you all know af is late. can't take my stop-smoking tabs if pg so decided to poas just in case to be sure and be able to take tabs without any doubt. Damn test hasn't worked - It's showing three quarters of a cross and the little 'control window' has no line in it, thus test has not worked. but that 3/4 cross has me now (fully expected a BFN) now need to spend another damn tenner on a test again, because the non-working one has left me wondering. gah.

lucky the first step in breaking a disconnect is connecting. you need to touch each other. even if it's just on his hand, his face, but a delicate touch and a "i love you no matter what." then begin again. forget what might have been the problem. touch. hold hands. hold each other. come together.

sounds like a bfp to me. did you get enough pee on it. the test window is past the results window. maybe not enough pee. add more and see what happens. can't hurt at this point.

Definitely got enough pee on it TS. DOn't have any more to add now!

ts i hear you but that is just not an option right now.. when i say he is mad.. he really is... it takes a lot for him to get mad at people but when you he does, you feel the lowest of the low... maybe tom all will be a bit brighter..

qod that sounds exciting fingers crossed xx

lucky it's a pain to have to make the first step but it speaks volumes. guys are just so unaware of how we deeply we feel. think about who he's hung with most over the last month and consider if he'd say that crap to them...you might find he would. don't build a wall if you don't want a wall. reach out. that's not becoming a doormat. it's actually taking control of the relationship and making it what you want it to be. {{{{{{{hug}}}}}}}

queenie i'd toss you the one i have if you were closer. can you pop out for another? can you phone someone to bring you another?

There's the very tiniest of blue blobs at the top of control window
But it's still not a full cross in the result window though. Got the horizontal line and the top half of the vertical one. argh. argh. really have to retest though, can't leave it like this now!

QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 20:14

I'll pop out once DP gets home - he text earlier to say his phone battery is flat so can't call and ask him to get one.

sounds like you are and the inking didn't ink for the control part. does the missing control line correspond with what would be a negative result in the control window?

OP posts:
ataraxis · 23/04/2010 20:17

qod, you know that any sort of line generally means bfp.... (though not sure about control window implications).

I've a spare in the cupboard that I would happily wing over to you (I'm in no need of it!) but I suspect you may have bought one by the time it would get to you.

what's the brand and i'll do some more digging. i'm excited about this.

Oh god ts I think you're right - where the tiny control line should be corresponds with the missing part of the vertical line in the test window.

if it's ept the control line are up and down and the pregnancy line is across. if your missing the up and downs but the across is there you are pregnant.

It's clearblue. Just the bogstandard one

QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 20:21

So for negative you get a horizontal line (-) and for positive you get a cross (+) whith a vertical line in the control window

control lines are vertical. pregnant line is horizontal!!!

OP posts:
QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 20:24

Yeah so picture that exept that the vertical line doesn't go below the horizontal one.

ataraxis · 23/04/2010 20:24

qod - you could try this...

FAIL SAFE TEST!! this is going to sound wierd but there is a plant that will solve all ur problems You need to find a Dandelion Flower (weed actually) with very large leaves pluck as many leaves off as many dandelions as you can find you need the leaves not the flower top take them home now in the morning urinate on two of the leaves then wait about an hour if RED BLISTERS appear your pregnant ok store the other leaves in something they wont dry out in. It is about 99% acurate even if your only about 2 weeks late but I read ur thing if your as far along as you say you should only have to wait about 10 mins but give it about an hour....

got any dandelion leaves about?

i think i said that wrong...

take a picture and post it so we can see!!!

OP posts:
QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 20:25

No pregnant line is vertical - the negative line is the horizontal one.

ataraxis · 23/04/2010 20:26

but be warned, according to the rest of the article it doesn't work... no, really?!
