sooo....

I was going to keep this a secret, but I really need to tell someone (other than H) or I will go crazy.  I am still a few days to a week away from my period starting, but I was feeling kinda weird yesterday so I decided to POAS.  It wasn't anything overtly like pregnancy symptoms, but I definitely feel different.  Anyway...I POAS last night and there is a very very very very faint line to make a plus sign.  Like so faint that it could have just been the shadow from the dye in the test already and not an actual +.  I even called DH in to see if he saw anything and he did see it, but also wasn't sure if it was really there or just how the test looks.  According to my period tracker app on my iphone I am supposed to start my period on Thursday, but I am not usually all that regular.  So we are going to wait till this weekend and get another couple of tests and test again.   

 I had seriously confusing feelings when I saw it though.  Like mostly pure terror.  I am a little afraid of becoming a mom, but mostly I think I am afraid that this test wasn't actually positive and I am going to be so let down when I either get my period or have a negative test this weekend.  

Anyway...I just kinda needed to tell that to someone.  No one other than DH knows about it right now.   

Re: sooo....

  • oooo....so exciting! I can't wait for you to retest! I can't believe you're waiting until the weekend. I think you should get one that says Pregnant or Not Pregnant and test today! Or at least tomorrow!

  • Trust me I am having a hard time waiting, but I also don't want to drive myself crazy every day this week.  I only really want to take 1 test.  If I have a negative every day until then I will want to cry.
  • I did the same thing as you. I found out on Black Friday, but I tested on Monday, Wednesday, and Thanksgiving. I just felt...different/off. I also felt super strange when it was a positive test - a lot of terror. Partially "holy sh!t I am going to be a parent" and probably partially to protect myself from getting attached or hurt, which isn't necessarily rational but is probably common and normal. I really hope you get a BFP later this week!!! :)

  • If I even thought there was a slight possibility it was + I'd be POASing like crazy. Just a word of caution though the digital test (the ones that say pregnant or not, or the smiley face ones) need to detect more pregnancy hormones then the plus or minus ones. So you could get a position on one test and a negative on the digital. Believe it or not the dollar store pregnancy test are the most sensitive. There are websites dedicated to which pregnancy test are the most sensitive.

    Good luck I hope you get an definitive BFP later this week!

  • Oooh yay! I really hope it was a true positive! I totally know what you mean about that moment of terror, chalk it up to adrenaline, I know for me I expected to see a negative and it was a shock! If  it helps, I read somewhere that the tests with the pink dye are better than the ones with blue dye. I'm crossing my fingers for you and giving you a cautious congrats!

  • That happened to me this pregnancy. The first 2 tests I took I convinced myself I was just seeing things... but deep down I KNEW it was a +.

    I bought a digital and sure enough PREGNANT. It took 2 days from the first very, very, very maybe not even there second line...

    GL!

    See...but that is the thing.  It was SO light that it may not have been a positive....Not just kinda light, but barely visible.

    Yep. Happens all the time prior to missed period. If you took a picture of it, you can invert the colors to see the line.

  • I agree with what Thor said...per research on tests many women do this to see if theres an actual real line or not.

     

    But soo excited!  I would go buy a bunch of dollar store tests and keep testing because I'm not patient

  • Now I am kicking myself for not taking a photo!  What the heck kind of scrapbooker am I?!  When I buy a new test this weekend I will take a photo even if the results are still fuzzy. 
  • I'm gonna just go ahead and say it's positive :) The same thing happened to me so I waited and pos the next morning and it was much darker. Morning pee is best, haha!

    Oh it won't be fuzzy this weekend. Use your first morning urine too so it is nice and dark.

  • Congrats lady, a positive is a positive like everyone has said! Definitely POAS first thing in the morning too. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months :-). Also, it's totally normal to feel the way you did when you saw the positive result.

  • I am hoping for good news in a few days from you. :) I understand tha "oh shiit" feeling - had it with both pregnancies. Lol. I'd say it's totally normal. And yeah, when you do test again, make sure it's a pink dye test if not a digital. The dollar store tests are great, too. When I worked at the clinic the pg tests we used were literally identical tk the DS tests.
