    Yeah, I've never had a BT to confirm it. The HPT's were enough.
    Maybe twice I did another urine test at the gp's, but thats it.
    I'm pretty sure its a BFP!
    Good luck!!

    Congrats on your BFP!

    Maybe you could ask your doctor for a referral to have an early ultrasound done rather than waiting for the blood results (or do both).
    I had a scan at 5 weeks 4 days with DS. You probably wont see a heartbeat that early (we didnt) but least youll be able to see if theres a viable pregnancy?

    Best of luck!

    TBH i didnt really believe that i was pg until i had my first scan, DH found a HPT in the toliet when i was about 10wks and asked if i was still doing them... yep - every week i did one JIC the tests were all wrong - probably becasue i never had any symptoms really...
    I should have had a BT - would have saved me a whole heap of $$

    5BFP sound really promising to me

    I've used a lot of LC HPT's and I never got a false positive. Faint lines for me usually meant an early loss (confirmed by blood test) whereas a dark line meant successful pregnancy.

    If you ask your doctor to mark the BT urgent you can get results back the following day. Due to my history my doctor was always happy to mark the tests urgent and I'm sure yours will be happy to do so too.

    Best of luck for a positive BT.

    Ruth I really hope that it's a for you! My AF was due Friday and even with first pee the line on the test was still faint. BTW I also have a collection of five tests...pmsl with varying degrees of line faintness/darkness. I would definitely go and see your doc. that it really is all systems go!! It could've been that you had "given up" in yourself for it to happen naturally which helped it to happen.
