DH doesn't believe me :(

A+R=T

He keeps acting like it's not happening because I did a digital 5 days before my period and it came out negative and the urine test at the Dr came out negative 2 days before my period was due. I've had 5 other tests show positive but that's not enough for him. He's really being a downer on my mood. I told my dad today because we are close and DH says "yea I still don't believe it so we'll see". Ugh vent over

How long has it been since you got your positive? MH took a day to process it and didn't really believe it until I turned a digi the following day.

Almost 5 days

I'd give him a little time to come around and maybe get a digi and show him that if you haven't already.

My h got more excited after seeing a digital. All of a sudden, it will hit him.

I tried explaining to him that false positives are nearly unheard of and there's no way 6 tests (2 different kinds) would all come up that way! If you ask me it doesn't get more positive than this!

I still vote digital. So the "pregnant" is right in his face. Or you can try an article that says most women can't make a pregnancy test positive until after their missed period. Insist on bloodwork from the doctor to confirm? Or wait.

The Dr book one because the test came up negative. He just gave me the

Form for the blood test to confirm but the labs around me are booked until Tuesday

Weird. Labs here don't need appointments. You just walk in and they draw them.

Omg I'm having typing issues this morning, excuse my fragmented message and that was supposed to say didn't book

A+R=T

You can walk in here (in Canada) but the wait could be hours and I have a one year old. Could make for a crappy day haha

My husband denied the fact that we were having a boy our entire last half of DS1... His words were the exact same, " I will believe it when I see it!" DUDE, How do you not see that penis on an ultrasound. DUH.

My point was that maybe he is not trying to get his hopes up He will believe it when he sees it I guess lol!

That is super frustrating, and honestly he sounds like he is unsupportive. I would tell him that this is a time to try and be joyful and tell that his attitude really hurts my feelings.

I've heard that men can almost be a whole trimester behind their wife mentally. It just takes longer for the reality of what's happening to set in because they aren't physically experiencing the changes that pregnancy brings.

With that being said, I also agree with @SayAnything84‌ - it might help him if you're open about your feelings! Let him know that you need him to be there with you emotionally in excitement. Or maybe ask him why he's having trouble believing it - is he nervous about being a dad? Because that is a normal thing to be feeling, too, but might be good for him to talk about.

mine also doesn't believe.  I've had 3 positive tests, but I think he will come around after the first US.

I think they're just dense sometimes. I had three faint positives, but I knew that wouldn't be proof enough for my DH. So, I went ahead and bought digital and get the unmistakable "Pregnant". He's been indifferent since, worried about it being our 4th, what is going do to his plans and hopes for the next four years. I am worried too but I can find happiness in it too. After a doctor's appointment, he said, "So you really are pregnant, huh?"

Men. haha

I am sorry, what's DH mean? Idiot here.... Hahaha
