So have been TTC for a number of years, lots of tests done all ok my end and few small issues with DH. GP said that fertility treatment was our only option but won't get funding as I am 40 and already have a DD10 from another relationship.

Fertility treatment was out of our price range so kind of resigned ourselves to throwing everything into DD10 and enjoying our little family.

Anyhow I am now a week late on my period and have just done a test seems to be a faint line but may be my imagination, thing is I have had a small amount of bleeding yesterday (bit on a tissue when i wipe kind of thing). This mirrors when I had an ectopic 5 yrs ago faint line slight bleeding, so am a little concerned.

Will do another test tomorrow morning as i have drunk about a gazillion coffees today which may have rendered the test a bit useless. I haven't told anyone in real life (not even DH as I don't want to get his hopes up) but needed to write it down talk.

Anyone there fancy wishing me luck!

Wishing you every little bit of Christmas luck! Go and buy an FRER and use tomorrow am. That should tell you for sure, and hopefully with your history you'll get an early scan in a week or 2. Any chance you could upload a picture of the test? If the line shows on a photo it usually is a line....

feetlkeblocksofice · 23/12/2012 14:33

It's definitely there in a photo, just not sure how to post it eek! Will try with the camera instead of my phone.

Don't they say even a faint line is a positive? With DS my first test had a really obvious line and the second at the doctors had a really really faint line

feetlkeblocksofice · 23/12/2012 14:38

Well DH is going to the best Christmas present ever then, as am I!

I'd not buy a FRER. they are reknowned for not being as reliable/sensitive as they claim. Just a cheapy strip test will do, I get from semi chem, box of 3 for a few £.

Wishing every bit of festive luck, have been where you are re secondary infertility and it's so hard Sad

Good luck!

Ooh good luck!

specialknickers · 23/12/2012 16:25

A line is a line. If you need confirmation, get another test and do it with your first wee tomorrow morning. It'll be positive then I'm sure - good luck!

Mylittlepuds · 23/12/2012 17:16

I had a very faint line that came up only after I'd had a nap for an hour! Was about 2 weeks gone with DS. Good luck! Eeek!

Mylittlepuds · 23/12/2012 17:16

Was a cheapie test.

Mylittlepuds · 23/12/2012 17:16

Came up straight away on a Clear Blue

feetlkeblocksofice · 24/12/2012 06:14

So it's 6 am can't sleep, retested and there is still a faint line...I'm pregnant aren't I? Shit can't believe it's finally happened! DH is going to be thrilled to bits with this extra Christmas Present Grin
