Clearblue digital and father's day announcement

[Toottootdrivers]

I took a clearblue digital test this afternoon and it came back with 2-3 weeks pregnant! We've been trying for baby number 2 for about 6 months without any luck and both said this afternoon that we didn't think I was pregnant. He was there when I bought the test but doesn't know that I've taken it and hasn't asked about it at all.

I'd love to tell him tomorrow by putting the test in a box for him to unwrap on father's day. So my question is will the result last that long? I took the test at about 4pm today.

Head is spinning and can't believe I need to keep this to myself until morning!

I think the result would last that long but honestly I wouldn't give him the test in a box, can you nip out and get a fathers day card and write in it sorry I cant be here this year but see you next year or something like that?

Also - I forgot to say congratulations

No it has a limited time on it so check the instructions

Thanks. It says 24 hours on the box but was wondering whether anyone had had theirs switch off before that?

Take a photo of the result and make it into a card saying "see you next year" 😁

It's 24 hours....I did something similar last Father's Day after 5 rounds of IVF but to be honest I had a back up on in the drawer just in case the digital holder switched off early 🤣

I still have my 2 positive tests...... 10 yrs and 7 years later. They are first response pink dye ones, does that make a difference?

Could you get a pink dye one and do it?

I took a pink dye test in August 2018 when I found out I was pregnant with my DD. I kept it and can still see the line!!

Don't put a urine soaked test in a box to unwrap!!!

Write something on a card, or take a photo of it to include in the card.

I wrapped mine in a zip lock bag and forgot about it until I was clearing out and looking through some maternity mementos recently. My test still says positive and think I can safely say it's reliable, he's 18 in 6 weeks 😁

Oh and congratulations OP!

I think the result will still be there if you give it first thing tomorrow.

I found out I was pregnant on the 1st December and waited until Christmas Eve night to tell my husband! That was a tough month! 😂 I was so close to making it to Christmas Day as well! Lol! …..you can keep it secret till morning!

My digital made it to a day and a half, @Toottootdrivers, so if you took it at 4pm today, hopefully you should be fine for the morning.

Congratulations!

I'm sure mine lasted longer than 24 hours.

Can't understand the people who are saying don't do it. Do whatever YOU want. There's nothing wrong with that idea at all.

Ah how lovely, congratulations op 😄

I would absolutely love to do that and if I had found out today I would too! I think that’s lovely. Huge congratulations xx

Thanks everyone! I'm going to give it a go. With DC1 I pretty much waved a urine soaked stick with the squintiest of squinty lines under his nose at 6am so I wanted a better announcement this time

Take a photo of it just in case.

They last for ages, mine all (...I may have taken a few) gave up somewhere around 4/5months, so you'll definitely be fine for tomorrow!!

You know you only piss on the end and then put a cap over that bit right? You don't dunk the entire test in urine.

It worked! Thanks everyone! He was very happy with his urine soaked box!

I think it depends now. When I was taking them in 2016, mine lasted a few weeks. I took one a few weeks ago and is lasted 24-30 hours.

It's a lovely idea OP, as a way to surprise your partner.

Ooh interesting, mine were all about 18months ago.
