Don't trust the blue tests!! Get a digital!!

Fwiw, if your af is due, it's not too early to test, unless your af comes insanely early like 10 dpo.

Definitely a line, congrats! But yeah, I've had false positives AND false negatives on blue dye tests. Those things are crap. I'd pee on a FRER and a digital just for real confirmation.

ETA: And I know people say there's no such thing as a false negative, but I used a blue dye test and a FRER the day before my beta last time, and that beta was around 300. The FRER had a dark positive line and the clearblue came up stark white. There was more than enough HCG in my system for that thing to work.

My most recent false positive was just before I was going in for surgery. I took one just to be totally sure and it came up VERY positive. I went in to my fertility clinic for a blood test and got back a 0 beta.

That's totally a line! No question. Good luck, congrats, you'll be fine, and I wish u a happy healthy uneventful pregnancy.
This us making me want a fourth baby.....hmmm

[copzgirl1171]

WooHoo!!! Congratulations *hugs*

[josieposy]

I see a line. Congrats!

Congrats! Best of luck!

Also, I love your sig. But it's missing NPR. I'm not sure what that would be, but probably a very soothing story about the impact that the debate of Coke vs. Pepsi is having on small restaurants in Idaho and eastern Washington.

[marie427]

Woohoo, congrats again!

[charminglife]

Congrats!

Congrats, lady! Don't stress about the logistics of finding a doctor, telling family, etc. Pick up a prenatal vitamin at the grocery store and take it one day at a time. You've got a long nine months to figure things out.

Yay baby. :-)

[wobbly]

Congrats!

Congrats!!
I had an oops pregnancy and once I met him, it was ok
Just take your prenatals as soon as you can start and everything else will fall into place.

Congratulations! I know that I spent the first few days in shock after my BFP, but eventually I warmed to the idea

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

I think that's a line too.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

I took target brand prenatals and they were great. I did have to take them at night to cut down on the nausea.
Congratulations!

[pescalita]

Congrats!! Even though we had decided to have kids and were not TTA when A was conceived, we fully expected pregnancy, childbirth, infancy and even toddlerhood to be the suck. So we went in with very low expectations. As late as a month or so after he was born we still looked at people like they had three heads when they asked if we were excited or told us to cherish this.

We were blessed with an easy baby and at this point he's pretty fun. Not expecting the good makes it all the better. It's enough that I've wondered what it will be like to actually be excited next time.

[KateAggie]

You have a PM.

[heyjude]

Trader Joes prenatals FTW.

I hope you don't have a crazy BMB but if you do there are lots of fine ladies here who can provide help.

Good luck!!

(and don't stress about OBs...they probably won't even want to see you until at least week 8.)

[2vermont]

Congratulations!!!

[karinothing]

Congrats! I know the bump ladies are crazy so if you ever have questions please feel welcome to ask them on MM moms.

[ering1115]

Congrats! Glad I re-opened this one. Hope you have an easy and uneventful pregnancy.

Dh and I had "you know what could happen if we do this" sex once and DS is the result. Yay for sort of surprise babies. Based on DH's very scientific assessment (i.e. anecdotes from all of our friends) the baby will be a boy. According to him, all surprise babies are boys.

I did the Target brand prenatals with the fish oil/DHA supplement.

[mrshandy]

Congrats!!!

[eclaires]

Congratulations!

My surprise baby has been the best thing that ever happened to me - I know I've posted this a million times - but it cannot be said enough and I still tear up when I talk about it. He's always made every transition so easy on us, and I am so in love with being his mother.

I have a very good friend who lives in Houston and she has two little girls. If you'd like, I can get her to PM you about doctors. She posts on H&F some here.

[ChillyMcFreeze]

Congratulations!! The CEP Next Generation continues to grow...

[basilosaurus]

Congrats!

And all you oops people are scaring me. I don't want H to read this thread. He'll be too excited about these happy oops stories.

[pinkeggs]

Congrats!! That was definitely a line, but I'm glad you confirmed with a digital.

Target prenatals were great for me. Cheap, and didn't make me sick. Take a stool softener with them everyday because the extra iron can get to you.

Yay!!

[JLN]

Congratulations!

And they're opening a Trader Joes in The Woodlands today.

[Knight]

Congrats!! I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

[meshaliuknits]

totally a line. Congrats!

[teflep]

Blue line tests are garbage and I have had false positives on frer. Digital for sure. And congrats!

[laurenpetro]
