I think I just got a squinter...

Carazona5

I'm afraid to even think anything of this because I'm only on CD25, and got a positive OPK on July 27th so not exactly sure when I O'd but likely around the 29th - 30th? I don't even know how many DPO that would make me but I have 2 internet cheapies and 2 digital Clear Blues burning a hole in my pocket (or bathroom cabinet). I just took a cheapie test knowing it would prob be negative but I see a super faint line... A squinter is what I've seen it called here and probably what this would qualify as. But like an idiot, I dumped out the pee cup before I could use it for the digital!!! So I'll wait a few hours (or if I can - until the morning) and try again I guess...
I want to freak out but I feel like this can't be anything and I'm afraid to get excited yet. I just had to tell someone but don't want to tell DH until I know for sure because he's as excited about this as I am and keeps asking if I feel pregnant yet, etc.. Two of his sisters announced they were pregnant on Thursday and he's been so bummed out ever since so I can't say unless I know! Gah!!! Thank you for listening!

Isn't that not allowed? Lol

Knottie16743552

Oh! Oh! Dang it!

I'm a rule breaker by nature but this was unintentional. I apologize.

Carazona5

Haha that's ok, I have to admit I did text a pic of it to a nurse friend of mine.

I thought we aren't allowed to ever?

Thanks for all the comments everyone! I'll give you an update when I have something more concrete

jennOK

You can't post pics anymore? You used to be able to. Is that a site-wide rule or just a rule of this board?

Looks like it's for all forums except one: "Don't...Ask if we think you are pregnant or post pictures of your pregnancy test to the boards. While The Bump Community is a great place to give and receive support, only your medical professionals can confirm a pregnancy or diagnose issues. *(Please note that the “What does a positive pregnancy test look like?” thread is the only thread where members are permitted to post pictures of pregnancy tests.)"

Ok well I definitely am I got a positive on a clear blue digital! I'm in shock and I don't think it's really sunk in yet.

It was funny, we've been talking about all of this stuff the last few days because two of his sisters are recently pregnant. But I kept telling him it's way too early for me to test (which I totally thought it was). But we spent the day together going to the mall and lunch, and we kept seeing baby things at stores and it just started nagging at me to test which happens every month even tho I know it's too early.
But I knew I had two cheapies left at home and two clear blues. While he was mowing the lawn Later decided to use a cheapie but poured out my cup before waiting for it to turn because I was SURE it was going to be negative. Then I saw the squinty line and couldn't even trust that I was actually seeing something. But I do know I've never seen a line before or even thought I did. This time I did so I decided not to say anything to him yet and wait a few hours and test again. So I did it again about 3 hours later with the other cheapie. Same hint of a line so I dipped a clear blue digital and my heart was pounding watching the waiting thing flash on it. Lol and sure enough it popped up "pregnant". Crazy!! I think I fumbled with stuff around the bathroom for a few minutes because I was all shaky. DH was watching tv in the living room and I had a hidden little batman onesie just for this moment which I've had for months. (He's obsessed with batman). So I went in there where he was and he was so engrossed in the tv but I just kind of tossed the batman onesie on his chest. Lol. He looked at it for a second and was like "oh how cute where did you find this?" Totally clueless lol so I just flashed him the stick and waited for it to sink in. His eyes for huge and he kept saying "really???? I thought it was too early!" And I kept saying "I don't know, I did too!!" Lol then he jumped up and hugged me and we were both shaking for about 20 minutes after and kind of pacing the house not knowing what to do. Lol

The sad thing is I had to leave for an overnight work shift right then. So I basically bombed him with this and then left for the night. Lol

Awwwww, what a sweet story! I love how excited about it he is. And there's something about those clear blue tests that are so final - no interpretation needed when it says loud and clear "pregnant"!!! So happy for you guys!!!

Carazona5

Thank you so much! Should I leave here now? That seems sad! I just started getting to know everyone's screen names and stories!

Ok thanks I will... It's April 20. I track all my periods so I'm assuming that's pretty accurate?

happyktmom

How exciting! Congrats!

@carazona5 -- If you're basing it on LMP, then if you ovulated anywhere near CD14, that's close enough. I was just curious which BMB you'd end up in.

jilligan14

I think you can still comment on other people's posts on here and then update us on your progress whenever the Grad check-in is posted. At least that's what I've seen others do...

emsmama15

The Grad Check-in seems to have fallen off.  Anyone interested in posting it for the board??

carrieandr

@GoldenKeys was doing the grad posts -- or at least the last one that I just checked.  She's an admin, so she must still be around, right?

I was doing the grad posts, but interest in the thread had fallen completely off so I haven't done it in a while.  I assumed that everyone was too busy during the summer and planned to bring it back in the fall.   If anybody wants to take it over, that would be awesome though, I'd love to see how our grads are doing!

Yay Congrats! So happy and excited for you!

I just noticed that my previous post didn't go through.... congratulations!!
