HPT craziness

[Juliette]

Hi All,

I did a HPT this morning (AF due in two days) and because we've been trying for 10/11 months, and I really didn't expect to get a BFP today...was just going through the motions really, not getting my hopes up too much...I left the test a little longer than I should have (20 mins) - got caught up changing nappies and making brekky for little people. Anyhow, there is a definate coloured (pink) 2nd line. Now I'm getting excited, but I am worried that it may be an evap line because I waited too long to check the test... It was my last test!!!! I am waiting for hubby to get home so I can go out and get another test, but even when I get one I'll have to wait for tomorrow's first pee of the day. Grrrrr....why didn't I check it earlier!!! Anyhow, I'm just sharing the craziness because I feel like ringing everyone I know to shout "I'm pregnant!!!" but knowing that that would be dumb...

thanks for listening!

If the line is pink, I doubt it would be an evap line, but doing another test is probably the safe option

I'm going to say congrats

I did the same thing this month, and went back to the hpt (which I was hiding in the cupboard) way way after the time limit (probably after at least 40 min), but I was pretty sure the bfp was right - if it had been a 'squint and hold it a certain way in the light maybe that's a line' then I would have had doubts, but I think if it is a definite pink line that it is very likely to be a GOER! (I did a test later that afternoon and bfp for sure.)

So - congrats to you! How exciting!!!

ps - If you hold your pee for a few hours and don't drink too much you might be able to try again in the afternoon if you can't wait till morning!

I don't think it's an evap line. I thought I read that they weren't pink. I left mine over night & it looked the same the next day as it did when I checked it after 2 mins.

So here's a tentative congrats to you. Xx

If it is any help to you I have left a neg test for an hour and checked it just to make sure and nothing and I must have checked it 10 times more after that and I never saw anything.

but my positives all looked exactly the same. Even now.

My last miscarriage I started to bleed 10 minutes after I threw the positive test in the garbage. So with my last pregnancy I didn't want to throw them (3) away. So I kept them and now I just look at them in amazement and wonder, "What am I going to do with these?"

Good luck and wishing you happy baby thoughts!
