HELP!!!

I know this might be insensitive to those who have been TTC a long time, please ignore the following.

I've been on the LadyComp (Natural Family Planning Computer) for a year, that's right, a whole freaking year, and I just did a pg test cos my temp went back up this morning, and there are two freaking lines on there clear as day, the test one is REALLY dark. I followed all the rules, no sex on red light days (fertile), god I'm hoping it's a mistake, we can't afford a baby right now, the worst thing is DH will think I did it on purpose cos I've been teasing him about it heaps, but I wouldn't ever do that!

if you can't tell I'm FREAKING out over here, we're off on a month long holiday in China today, i wish I'd NEVER done the test this morning, but I had one left from a scare AGES ago, but I've never had two lines before. I don't even know how to tell DH cos he will be GUTTED, and probably REALLY angry. We were just talking about how great the LC was and a whole year off BCP! I don't even know how to look at him this morning. What do I do? Say something now and ruin our whole holiday, or wait a few days until the LC starts flashing 3 lights (pregnant) and try to blame the weirdness on the jet lag? I know honesty is best, but I'm just so scared right now.

What are the chances of a false positive?!??!

PS been a user for a long time, but cos my handle is my NAME people I know might find out. I wish I'd never done the damn test, cos I am NOT going to enjoy my holiday at the moment at all!

Oh Fakename, how stressful. I'm sorry but I'm afraid false positives on pg tests are quite rare. You could try again on another test or two just to confirm or go to the dr for a blood test.

Really hope this works out for you.

I suggest getting a blood test done too. Just go to the medlab/pathlad, whatever you have, and get one. Cost about $20 and you can have the results in about 2-3hours.

Are you off to China, or is that not exactly where lol.....just thinking ppl might put 2 and 2 together aside from the name lol

Good luck - I hope you get the result you need :)

Ohh chick!
You must be so stressed out right now! It does sound like you're definitely pregnant but I'd go to the docs to confirm anyway, just so you know 100%.
This probably isn't very comforting for you to hear right now, but these things do have a way of working out. When I first found out that I was up the duff with Ella, I thought it was the end of the world and could not see any way that it would turn out ok.
Take care Fakename, I'll be thinking of you.. whoever you are!

Eeeeeek. You poor thing.



Definitely talk to your DH about it... better out than in.

So what would happen if you were pregnant? Thought of any plans?... it's sort of one way of figuring out whether you can do it or not.

I understand your position completely and really feel for ya xoxoxoxox

No advice honey just a big Definitely talk to your DH, a problem shared is a problem halved and all that and try to enjoy your holiday.

I have no fantastic answer but I do suggest telling DH right away, he may be angry but he would be even more angry if you delayed telling him. DH is bound to notice that something is up and that you are freaking out. And I know this is no consulation but these things do happen - I just look at my DH and I get pregnant. No contraception method is foolproof.

Hi I PMed you, just remember to log back in under your fake name

I wsa in SUCH a similar situation. i thought I might be pregnant, but we were going to Thailand, so I put off testing....and put off and put off. then tested and found i was definitely preggers. I was so freaked out and came on here in tears - where everyone was realy great. my situation was that we lived in Japan, but having baby #2 meant we would have to leave. i told hubby and he was much more open to it than i expected (I felt it was all my fault too). and later my company went bust big time and had I not got pregnant with Taine, we would have been basically destitute - so all worked out in the end,

I know at the mo, it feels like the worse thing in the world, but it WILL get better. i promise

hey cathrine, ive been lurking on your thread, didnt post anything cos everyone else already said it :-)

but am so so glad to hear that things are looking brighter, i really felt for you , its always frightening to be in a situation you didnt want to be in .
Nothing more to add really , but just wanted to say again how happy i am for you that things are looking a bit better
