Could my positive test be wrong?

[Shootingstarsandcomets]

I currently have a 7 month old and have been feeling so so tired lately and someone jokingly asked when the next one was due. So today I took a test to rule out being pregnant and it was positive! We have literally dtd twice since having ds and I have only just stopped breastfeeding. Can this test be wrong? What are the chances? Not sure i can cope with another one so soon, wasn't in the plan at all.

It's unlikely to give a false positive. How about retesting to see if the line is still there?

It's very rare to get a false positive but it's worth doing a second test to be sure. Congratulations and good luck.

False positives are rare (probably only if the test stick is faulty).

You may want to retest. But any contraception can fail, and it is possible to become pg when bfing.

I'm going to retest tomorrow and go to the drs if its positive. I've no idea even how many weeks I am if I am any at all. Guess I won't be going back to work though so solves that dilemma!

Very unlikely! What kind of test was it? Certain ones have more of a reputation for giving false positives...

Sainsburys......

Very unlikely to be wrong. Congratulations!
Has your cycle started again yet? Tiredness would indicate 6 to 12 weekish I think, but that's just a guess.
Similar thing happened to friend who has less than 1yr between her 2, it was hard work to start with but they are wonderfully close now and she wouldn't have it any other way!

Not one for typically giving false positives then.. See what the morning brings.

No yellowfishy it hadn't started again that's why I thought I was safe- breastfeeding and no cycle. Will see what happens tomorrow. DH been trying to convince me all will be ok pregnant or not but I'm terrified at being pregnant again.

Likelihood is your cycle started, first one hence no period. I know it must be a shock but sounds like your dh is very supportive! Maybe get. Clear blue digital for a guess at dates. Good luck! X

It could be an evaporation line if it was barely there or you read it after the testing time but not if the line is coloured the same thickness as the other line happened with in the testing time ( 3 mins or whatever time the test said) and a definite line.

Sorry-just to tell you that my cycle hadn't returned and was still BF when got caught with DC2. Once you start dropping a feed or reduce night feeding, you are less covered. All worked out well for us and now expecting DC3 (all under 4) Di it's not all bad! Good luck whatever you decide

It's positive! Not the end of the world I know just not ideal either. Midwife appt made for Wednesday at least I won't have forgotten any of my antenatal class info!

Congratulations!
Just think how close your DC will be, they'll love having a sibling who wants to play with the same things. Must be a heck of a shock to you, hope you can get your head around it soon. So glad for you that your DH is being so supportive.

The funny thing about being pregnant the second time, is you forget so often that you are. So busy with dc1 that it shocks me still sometimes to look down and see a bump (37+3!). Tiredness is much harder though.

All the best for an uneventful pregnancy. Don't forget your folic acid...

Similar thing happened to me. Ds1 was 7mo when I was suddenly exhausted beyond all sense and kept bursting into tears at trivial things. I went away for the weekend with two pg friends and they were talking about being tired and emotional and the penny dropped.

I still had tests from getting pg with ds1, took it, was positive. I showed it to DH who literally 5 mins later had to get on a plane for a week working abroad. His shocked face walking out if the door will stay with me forever

Anyway, 'twas all fine. I was actually only just pg when I did the test. There were 15 months between them and it was busy but fine!

Good luck.

Thanks all. bigredbox that's exactly how I feel- crying all the time for no reason and so much tireder than is normal. I wrote a list of all the good things that this baby means and one of my points was how close they'll be to each other and that's lovely. The only regret that ds is such a joy to me and I feel that his babyhood will be cut short and I worry about not having the time to devote to the new one because I'll be running around after him too. At least I'll get all the sleepless nights out of the way at once though!

Oh I know! I cried (and cried and cried ) feeling so sorry for ds1 and how he was much too small to share me.

The reality was he barely noticed the difference. Luckily ds2 was a very easy baby but it honestly hardly affected ds1 at all. And it is easy just getting on with two in a buggy/nappies/high chair. In a way it's harder when one is and one isn't. Although the close gap meant very quickly we were rid of nappies, buggies and high chairs altogether.
and then we had dc3

Oh congratulations lovely
It's fab having them close-really! You do loads on auto pilot, yes it can be difficult but it's also a lot of fun.
Take ALL the help offered, nap when you can and enjoy
