DH doesn't belive HPTs are accurate

in 1st Trimester

So, I've peed on multiple sticks this week...regular and digital all with lightening fast results of "pregnant." I mean a super dark line and a digital pregnant almost immediately and DH keeps saying "I don't know if that's really true...I think you need independent confirmation." Anyone else have a DH that thinks HPTs aren't correct? It's kinda funny actually.

Anyway, we're both excited and to be honest a bit freaked out.

    I would just call the dr and get a blood test.  that's what i did when i got my first +HPT.  Then maybe he'll believe it

    Haha mine said the same thing! "I really don't think we should get our hopes up until the doctor confirms it" he said. So I called the doc and made an appointment and sure enough - pregnant! LOL

    um, I would think the word "pregnant" would be enough. Shoot, a faint line was good enough for DH. We have been through this enough times to know it's not going to be super dark at first. Get some b/w done...or just let the baby tell him.  lol

    My DH is a doctor and believed it just fine. The first test. Just one. Go figure.

    Sorry my H was thrilled to see "Pregnant" on the test. He doesn't get an opinion on whether or not they're accuate until he gives birth himself.

    Thanks Ladies! I've got a call in to the midwife but I can't get in until I come back from a really long business trip (9 days). The nurse at the office definitely seemed to think the the HPTs were accurrate and honestly, my boobs hurt, I'm exhuasted and I'm nauseated. I have no doubt.

    a positive test is good enough for most doctors.

    My freshman roommate didn't believe in gravity.  That wasn't normal either.  He's being weird.  They're going to give you a regular test at the OB.  They're crazy accurate if you get a positive.

    Edit: What is independent confirmation?  Should HE pee on a test to see if it tells him he's pregnant?

    My husband thought that both lines had to be equally dark or it wasn't positive.  It wasn't until a digital showed him that I was pregnant that he believed me.

    My husband says anything significant in life that you can by at the dollar store he doesn't trust!

    My husband looks at the Clear Blue Easy Digital test that says "PREGNANT" and says to me "Did you see this?"

    The Dr's use one that are the same strength as the HPT. Tell him to go pee on one and see what it says. I've heard that men will cause a HPT to come up + and that would too funny.

    This is BAD. If a man pees on a test that turns positive, that means testicular cancer, I believe.  Not completely sure...but it's not good.

    If you go to the doctor, they most likely will not test your blood, but give you a HPT.  So that's that.  You're too early for the baby to show up on an ultrasound, too, so you really can't get much more confirmation until 6 1/2 weeks and on.  HPTs have always been my answer...
