So, er, is this a line?

[Whatalota]

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

He’s just sent me such a lovely message. I can’t bring myself to reply as I don’t think I’ll sound normal

GP is calling me in a bit to go for a blood test

Can’t have a blood test for another 7 days apparently. Never heard of that before. Guess it’s a waiting game now

Can you try a red dye test tomorrow am?

No need...
I can’t believe this is happening

Did not want to read and run.

Sorry OP. Hope you’re ok! Don’t rush into any decision, take time to think.

Hey OP, so sorry for this stressful situation. I am glad your partner is being supportive at least.

I would take a few days to think it over and evaluate your options. If you decide to have the baby, I would take a paternity test for peace of mind (ovulation can occur as early as 7 days after you period, although it is quite rare, but I would personally hate not knowing)

I still haven’t told him. He isn’t exactly my partner. We see a lot of eachother, days out etc(not just a sex thing) but just no actual commitment.
I’ve no idea how I’m going to break this to him.

Any tips on how to approach this with him?
I’m going to have to phone him as he lives about an hour away and I doubt either of us will want to be trapped with eachother after I drop the bombshell.
Any help is appreciated

Hi op no advice just wanted to give you a hand hold, hope you're holding up ok x

Why don't you take a day or two to think about it and think about what you're going to do?

Sorry my love. I've been there, it's not a good feeling. Why is it always a line when you don't want one?!

Part of me is thinking my decision will be based on his reaction. If he freaks out and wants nothing to do with me or the baby(feels so odd saying that) then I’m basically on my own. And that scares me a lot. I’d quite like to get this over with(telling him) my anxiety has hit the maximum

@LittleGwyneth tell me! I’m in utter disbelief at how this could have happened

Do we think it is almost certainly bobs??

More than likely to be Bobs but can't say 100px.

Sorry you're going through this, what turmoil it must be.

I think you need to get it over and done with, just blurt it out and tell him. I think the not knowing of his reaction is worrying you more, you may find a sense of relief when you do tell him?

Depends on his reaction really. I’m dreading it. I hope he’ll be ok.

Tricky situation as your Joe blip was on CD8 which isn't impossible especially as sperm can hang around a few days. Do you know when you normally ovulate on a typical cycle?
I would be honest about the situation to Bob.

When I’ve tracked in the past it’s been around day 14-15

Do you need to tell him just yet? Can you take a day or two to think about what you want

Whatever you do tell him as early as you can. ( my dd was conceived when I had a coil in) ultimately it's your decision, but it would be great if he could help.

Ok so most likely it's Bobs, but I think you need to be honest that there's a small chance it could be someone else's. Better to be upfront about it now than down the line.
But take your time to get your head around it before making any big decisions. I hope you're ok and have support whatever you decide.

Oh OP! I couldn't read and run. I'm so sorry!!

When was your AF due? Just been looking at the calendar and I also think Bob is more likely but you really can't discount Joe at this stage either. How would he react?

This will sound a bit uninformed but I've never been not on the pill so not sure, do they make your cycle bang on accurate? Mine is always "within a week" but never exactly on time which I am used to but would make any similar counting a bit inaccurate as ovulation could be + / - a few days.

Think I was due yesterday. Had some squashing pains in the very pit of my stomach yesterday and today, boobs aren’t sore yet, Usually get night sweats for 2/3 nights in the run up to my period, which I did, but literally soaked the covers. Took last pill at the weekend(Saturday I think).
He finishes work at 5. I’ll wait for him to get home then call him. I feel sick thinking about it. I’m about to potentially destroy this mans life

WHAT ABOUT YOUR LIFE?? sorry to shout, but you seem to be feeling very responsible for something that takes two and has a much bigger impact on your life than anyone else's!
