Bear with me.
DH and I use condoms. Not ttc.
A few weeks ago I had a weird dream, twice in a row, where I got a massive extension put onto our house. The last time I had a dream about an extension, I was pregnant. OK, so. There you go.

So I was dreaming of this extension and started wondering if it was connected to a pregnancy. I then met a lady in town who I used to know, and she was pregnant. She proceeded to tell me that she was pregnant but had used a condom.

I went home that day and told my husband and his was extra careful with our condom. That was 8 days ago. 3 days ago I felt the deepest itch in my abdomen, right inside.

I just decided to take an IC I had lying around and a faint second pink line came up at once.

I peed on the test rather than dipped it. Did I maybe flood the test? I went to look for more tests to confirm and that was the last one and I have to wait until tomorrow after work at 6pm!

I'm in two minds about how I feel about this. I always got very early positives with all my other pregnancies so the timing isn't unreasonable. I love babies! I always wanted more! But I'm 41 and my husband is dead set against more.

The line is visible in real life, albeit very, very faint, has a tinge of pink and came up pretty much straight away. Can you see it?

I'm excited that it's real and full of dread that it was just an evap or flood line. I'm also overwhelmed at the change this little one would bring to our lives, if I really am pregnant. Don't want to freak my husband out so, mumsnet...arghhhhhhh!!!! Talk to me. I need straight talking.

Silently freaking out!

I can see it! Congratulations!

LongLostSock · 22/05/2024 21:03

I can't see it, but I'd wait for fmu if you're going to test again, especially as it sounds so early.

Havingawobbley · 22/05/2024 21:05

Oh my word, I'm not sure!? But following now! 🫢

Everthenever · 22/05/2024 21:06

This can't be real. We used a condom. It must be a dodgy test or from where i peed? I must have peed over it. This can't be real. I've been thinking about pregnancy non stop this month and now to get a second line after using a condom? It must be a fake positive.

I'm usually amazing at line spotting but I can't see it 😫 post some more pics please?!

bomi · 22/05/2024 21:08

I can't see it sorry 😩

branvan5000 · 22/05/2024 21:09

The bottom line is an indent right?

Everthenever · 22/05/2024 21:09

I took another photo.

Silently freaking out!

I can't see a line at all. Perhaps it shows more IRL.

I'm a super spotter too and can see the photo isn't great but I can see it on the ic pretty easily and it came up at once. It's pinky in real life, not grey. Vv faint though.

Honestly it's fine if I'm not pregnant, probably more logistically sensible if I'm not to be honest. So don't worry if you can't see a line! It would prob be for the best if I'm not as we already have 3! One is only 2! I just have this crazy broodiness that goes beyond rational thinking so this line has thrown me. I'm thinking it was just a very peed on stick!

And to clarify, I don't mean the pink line right beside the strip. It's sort of in the middle (where you would expect lol). I have been exhausted this week and thought it was cus my period is coming next week. Time will have to tell!

branvan5000 · 22/05/2024 21:16

I hope you get the outcome you want either way Smile

Everthenever · 23/05/2024 06:08

I'm getting ready for work and still I limbo. Anyway it's like I'm currently living in 2 realities, one in which I'm pregnant and one in which I'm not. I've today to mull over how I really feel. There are pros and cons to both. Probably better if it's just an evap line but we will love the baby if I for real. Gahh. I'll update later.

I am curious if anyone has got an evap that came up as soon as the dye moved across it on a one step Internet cheapie strip. Or if anyone peed a bit too vigorously instead of dipping the test and got a false positive immediately.

I've a lot to think about!

Sorry if I've missed this but can you not just do another test dipping it in the sample & see what the results are?

If you're not supposed to wee directly on the cheap tests there's a chance it could be flooded so not appearing correctly.

Everthenever · 23/05/2024 13:45

That's what I'm thinking. That I weed all over it and now it's given a false positive, as the chances of me being pregnant are pretty low!

I'll do another test later and if it's a negative, I'll take that as fact.

Just go and buy one of those First Response ones that literally says "pregnant" or "not pregnant". At least then you'll know what you're dealing with.

Your test look weird, like flooded. I would def test again in coming days.

It's too early to use one of those. I'll try a first response later today. Tbh I feel like my period is coming.
