I think I am pregnant but DP says no!

[gardenpixies32]

We have been trying to conceive for only one month and I am now 11DPO and did a pregnancy test (Tescos own) this afternoon. It came up with a faint line (two lines) - so BFP in my opinion. My DP was convinced that it can't be positive as the line is "too faint". So I did another one (Predictor test) this evening and again a faint BFP (two lines). His response was the same - "too faint" so not pregnant. I explained to him that the earlier the pregnancy the fainter the line etc. He wanted his mothers opinion (he can't do anything without her and I it drives me mad) so I agreed and we showed her and asked her opinion. She is not the nicest woman in the world and looked as sour as a lemon when I showed/told her. She said the same as her darling son, probably not as "too faint". So I have told 2 people and neither of them gave me a hug or congratulations.

I am being silly? Am I pregnant? I am doubting it now.

A line's a line and youa re up the duff. Congrats!

PS you need to get the mother thing sorted out before the kid is born :)

garden I would say get to the chemist and get a clear blue digital test - when you hand his mother the 'pregnant' stick I'm sure she will have to eat her words!!!

Congrats!!!

:( I hate it when the people you love act in the exact opposite way to waht you want.

((hug)) and congrats

Congratulations! If you want extra reassurance do a digital test - you need to do them first thing in the morning for accuracy though.

My advice: you now have nine months to get your MIL under control. I speak from experience here as my DH is also a mummy's boy and believe me when baby arrives it gets worse. MILs tend to have strong views on parenting at the best of times, and if your DH will side with her if her views don't agree with yours it's a nightmare. Get some boundaries in place now and don't leave it til the last minute before explaining the rules about when you're happy to have visitors post-baby etc. If you're planning on breastfeeding start educating him about cluster feeding (see the bf pages) so that he doesn't believe MIL when she starts insisting that baby needs a bottle of formula because they should be able to go 4 hours between feeds...the joys :-)

Yes - get a digital one - there's no doubt when it says 'pregnant'

And congratulations!

Provided the 2 lines came up straight away - its a positive

Pg tests don't have false positives

A line is a line

Congrats x

My first ever mumsnet post was about my faint line, he will be 10 months tomorrow!

I think there is so much emphasis on being realistic that ttc may take a whole it can be a bit of a shock when it happens so quickly, so your DP's shock is fairly understandable particularly if you're not late yet. But I'm sure he'll soon realise it's actually happening.

Congratulations

A while even.

Congratulations!

My faint line at 11 dpo is now three and snoring in the room next to me. My second faint line is due in 8-ish weeks.

Test again in the morning with FMU and hopefully the line will be darker due to the conentration of hormone in your wee. (Or splash out on a Clearblue digital if you can afford it - neither DH nor mummy-dearest will be able to argue with the word Pregnant).

You do need to sort out the run to Mummy instinct of your DH before before the baby arrives though.

Congratulations! When you are 7 months and positively blooming you should continue to tell them "nope - not pregnant, the line was too faint"

Noooo. Don't give £12 to evil Clearblue just to wee on their sticks. You are pregnant. Kill MIL with kindness instead. If she refuses to believe you're pregnant pat her on the head and offer an 'awwww, sometimes it's hard to understand simple things like pregnancy tests'.

You're definitely pregnant - congratulations! Why is his mother pouring cold water on things?

I think Clearblue must have posted profit warnings after I stopped ttc no. 2 - seriously they were more addictive than crack and I was just as furtive

Thank god - my addiction is now handbags

A line is a line!! My line was really faint as I was only 5 weeks. She's now fast asleep in her cot

You pee on handbags instead? Expensive.

Congratulations!! 2 faint lines and a solid one asleep upstairs here too!!
Like showofhands approach. Don't let them forget this...
And yes, you need to get your dh sorted on the mummy front. Lots of battles ahead otherwise.

Congratulations! I got pregnant both times within the first month of trying, I even took pill for four days at beginning of this pregnancy as didn't know we where going to try! I got pregnant 2 weeks later (ovulation) :D I got a very faint line and my DP was also determined that it was impossible, wayyy to fast.... Tell that to my bump! I am now 32 weeks! So a major congratulations. Take another test and maybe go to doctor and have a blood test? Just to reassure your DP and erm his -idol- mum x

Congratulations :) as others have said a line is a line. Get a clear blue digital and show DP that! He can't deny it as easily when it's written in words :o

Congratulations! A line is a line. My (3) very faint lines has just fallen asleep in my arms.

My faint line is also asleep upstairs.

A line is a line.

and I can't wait for your mil stories as this pregnancy progresses

Mine had to be held up to the light to even vaguely see a line. He's 7 this year. Congratulations!

I'd show your mum (if she's not nearby send her a photo) and ask for her opinion, that'll piss on DH's chips.

Too faint my arse, like everyone else is saying - a line is a line.

No pregnancy = no line.

Faint line = a line!

Test again in a couple of days, at which point your faint line won't be a faint line and you have the great answer to "My mum says...." throughout your pregnancy of "Your mum didn't even think I was pregnant! What does she know?"

Congratulations, you know you're pregnant, wait to be able to prove it and get him to say sorry for being less than excited today.

Yet another whose faint line is asleep upstairs

Get tge mil sorted now !

:) Ladies thanks so so so much.

I just got off the phone to my mum, she is in the States on holiday and will only be back in 3 weeks. I couldn't wait that long to tell her. Her response was lovely, it made me cry. I am the eldest of 4 girls and she will (hopefully) have her first grandchild soon!

You are all great.

I will do a digital one on Thursday morning, will buy one tomorrow. I think he will only believe it once he reads the word PREGNANT!
