If you had a squinter...

_florette_

If you had a faint positive on a cheap test would you tell your DH right away? Or would you test over a few days with another cheapie followed by something like a first response? Just to be sure...

CallMeMrsChaos

I think I would, test over the next few days, I would hate to get DH's hopes up for nothing.

I'd probably retest with a FRER using same urine or next morning to make sure I wasn't imagining things.

Rocknroll64

I tell him right away and then we're both anxious over the next few days.  

ETA: DH usually can see the squinters too, but he likes to see "pregnant" displayed on a digital.

I'd tell my dh, but I would definitely tell him I wasn't sure it was a false positive. There is just no way I'd be able to hide that something was up, and I'd love to have him there to talk me down if needed!

I would test again with a digital before I mentioned it to my H.

THIS!!! I totally made this mistake, and it ended up being negative after we celebrated and were so excited

But the good news is, 90% of the time a faint line means POSITIVE so congrats if you are.

Thanks ladies. We haven't been trying actively for long so I think I can hold out for a few days. His birthday is in a little over a week so if it still shows you hope I can wait until then...

I tell my DH everything cramps, CM, everything so I'd tell him about the squinter.nbsp; But I wouldn't get my hopes up until I tested again the next morning with FMU using a digital.Now when I test, I use a pee cup, but I don't flush the pee away until after I get the result.nbsp; My plan is that when I get a second line on a cheap test, I can immediately retest with a digital and see the word Pregnant.nbsp; Here's hoping that's in 2 weeks!

I had never thought of saving the cup and testing the same batch... I hope you get your positive!

I would probably ask DH if he could see a line.

I would want to tell someone and have them look at it, and since we aren't telling people, there's just us.  Plus we're in this together.  Now, if I got a squinter in the morning after he left for work, I'd probably run out and get a FRER to test again, but no way I wouldn't be able to tell him when he got home from work.

This! I don't want to say anything to H until I have confirmation on several different tests.

I don't think I could have resisted if he were home. We work opposite shifts today. I suppose I could test after work and then go jump on the bed! Lol

I read "squirter"...

I would wait another day and see what happens, mostly because I wouldn't want to hear the skepticism from my H. 

Dirty :-p

And now that's what I keep reading.

I got a squinter on 9DPO but at first I wasn't confident enough to tell MH.  But the more I looked at it the harder it got to see, so I walked away from it for a while and then when I came back (with fresh eyes I guess) it was much easier to see so I told MH.

 But I guess if you can hold in the news, keep testing until you're confident enough that you're not seeing things.

DemoDoll

I would tell him right away. I wouldn't be able to keep it from him, I tell him everything.

Serena0429

I wouldn't be able to keep it from him

crwel1048

I would not tell DH until I saw "pregnant" on a digital. I don't like telling him once I get close to testing. For some reason it makes me more antsy and anxious.

Slapalicious:

I've never had a squinter. 

I don't know what I'd do.

Same here 

Rejufsovelem

I would test again, but I couldn't wait a few days.  I would save up and POAS in a few hours.

hippiechick21

I couldn't keep a secrect if my life depended on it so I would tell him but also retest in am

I had a squinter from a bad batch of wondfos. I literally called "Bull Shiit" on the pee stick and dipped another. Stupid effing squinters.

LadyXaverian

I went out and bought a FRER and a FR Digi Gold. Held my pee for several hours and took them that same day. I told him once the FRER and digi confirmed for me.

Both of those pregnancy tests are as sensitive if not more than the cheapies.

britt6292

I would tell him. he would probably know something was going on with me anyway. i have never had a squinter but i can imagine i would be pretty anxious to test again!

janda426

I've had 4 squinters the past 2 days, all on wondfos. FRER BFN, target brand also BFN. I called H at work and told him I thought I saw another line. I hate wondfos and hate squinters.

WillCMyInk

As I'm still fairly new to all this I imagine I would tell right away. If I had been trying for long time and/or had a M/C I would probably be a bit more hesitant.
