Period was due yesterday. Just done a cheap test and this appeared.

So, er, is this a line?

Yep congratulations

Ohnomoreno · 07/04/2021 08:10

Yep

Whatalota · 07/04/2021 08:13

We sure it isn’t an evap or dodgy test?? I’ve just dipped the same wee with a new test... waiting for it to develop.
I’m on the pill and not in a serious relationship with the man I’m seeing! This wouldn’t be happy news!!

Hello, it does look like a line. What's the next test showing?

Whatalota · 07/04/2021 08:19

Bottom one is the most recent. Fuck!!! I feel sick!

Last period started 9th March. Sleeping with ‘bob’ every weekend for the past 10 weeks but did have a blip and sleep with ‘joe’ on the 17th March. Help a girl out please! I’m shaking

If your period started early March I would have expected a much darker line. What is the second test showing ?

Isadora2007 · 07/04/2021 08:30

@Whatalota don’t see a “bottom one” photo? Hope you’re okay. You’re very early on so i guess at least you’ve time to consider your options. If neither bloke is likely to be boyfriend material then I guess you just have to consider needing dna tests to work out who the father is should you continue with this pregnancy. You wouldn’t be the first for sure.

Most likely bobs as 17th was very early in your fertile window... but not impossible.

Sorry forgot to attach the pic

@mummysharkk that’s what I’m thinking too

Def a positive! I agree. Most likely to be 'Bobs' but you would need a paternity test to confirm.

Isadora2007 · 07/04/2021 08:35

@Whatalota do a test with water?
There’s no colour in the second line.
In fact go and get a proper first response test!

Whatalota · 07/04/2021 08:36

Water is a great idea!! I’ll do that now. Thanks

They are both pink IRL

Water one only has one line

I'm sorry OP, that's definitely positive- I never see lines on these threads and that line is very clear to me. I'm so sorry.

Whatalota · 07/04/2021 08:57

How on earth do you even begin to tell someone that you’re pregnant who you aren’t actually in a relationship with? I already have DC. He doesn’t

OP posts:
trunumber · 07/04/2021 09:02

Do you know what you want before you talk to him about it?

Truthfully it isn't your job to make this easy for him to hear. Pregnancy is always a possibility with sex and you're as shocked as he will be about it. You didn't do this on your own.

Whatalota · 07/04/2021 09:14

I know I didn’t. I really don’t know what I want. I already have DC. I’m 40 and he’s 26. He’s just starting his life and has so many plans for it. He’s so lovely and I don’t want to wreck his life

OP posts:
mummysharkk · 07/04/2021 09:17

Do you want a baby op?

Isadora2007 · 07/04/2021 09:19

It’s your life I’d be more concerned about than his. Do you want another child? Could you manage as a single mum to your children? That’s the bottom line I guess. The rest will sort itself out.

cookiecreampie · 07/04/2021 09:20

Before you jump the gun and tell him I'd do another test and get it confirmed first. If you're late for your period, you would be around 4 weeks and those lines seem too faint. In my own experience those faint lines can go either way but I've usually only have faints like that when testing a few days early.

CoffeeandCakeEqualsLove · 07/04/2021 09:21

Hope you're okay OP. If you don't know what you want yet, that's okay. Take a day or two to think about it first - and then talk to him.

Whatalota · 07/04/2021 09:26

Yes I’ll be getting a FRER later today. Won’t be saying anything to him until I know for sure. What a mess this is
Do I want another baby? I hadn’t really thought about it as I’m not in a relationship. If I was then maybe yes. Do I think I can do it on my own? Probably(but obviously it would be hard!)
