how reliable are walmart tests.. this is scaring me..

seto_shellie · #21 April 12th, 2012, 09:25 PM

eh, i just don't feel it...i jut don't believe it...

and why the heck would hubby still want to use condoms.. kinda makes me feel like he don't believe me..which other than the positive we got yesterday he has no proof... just wanna crawl in a whole and soak my shirt with tears.. its just so darn faint.. and doctor didn't even do a test in the doctor office... she said to wait til i'm 2 weeks late..

ok i get that.. i just feel guilty.. cause my hubby said (we have 4 kids) a few months ago.. that he didn't want anymore kids.. now i just feel like i'm intruding.. and when i mentioned my feelings about it he just acted like it was something silly.. ugg. i think im going to go to bed now..

I'm sorry.Maybe he's not convinced with the test being so faint?

Aw hun! I am so sorry for how you are feeling. I know you feel guilty and I understand exactly how you feel. I was there exactly one month ago. We have 6 kids, the youngest being 7 months. We found out march 4 we were pregnant unexpectedly via a dollar store test and then an answer test. We were nervous and honestly dh was less than thrilled... Initially....and I was hurt a little by that... It takes two to tango. Anyway, all that week I had taken tests to make sure the lines darken as I had with all my previous pregnancies, and to my absolute horror, they got lighter and lighter, until finally on march 12, I miscarried at 4 weeks 2 days. Please know I am by no means trying to scare you or even suggest this will happen to you. I just wanted to share with you so you understand that I totally sympathize and empathize with what you are feeling. Dh was very casual about it all. I cried, he didn't. I couldn't eat, he seemed unphased. I couldn't sleep, he was rested. I was so furious and disappointed with him and at the same time felt guilty for missing a baby I wasn't planning on having and that he clearly did not want.... Until I talked to him. The men do not feel a birth, miscarriage or any emotion with either the way we do. We physically feel it all and to them it is just visual. At this early stage it isn't even visual yet... It is just "there" to them. After talking with dh about it he had a hard time relating to the baby we lost because he said he never saw anything ... No ultrasound, no belly, no blood from miscarriage... Nothing. My point is... Maybe your hubby is feeling the same... Just can't "seeidol so it isn't real yet!? I am praying for you that your tests get dark and stay dark and you go in to have a glorious pregnancy, but if that is not the case, I understand the pain and will be here to listen. Since our m/c dh and I have taken the not preventing attitude and if it is meant to be, it will be. I pray the same for you. Best of luck!!!

thanks so much. that is exactly how i feel. with that in mind this baby must be pretty early. cuase this is the test i just got.. it was so faint i had to invert it.. its there but i can barely see it and of course hubby CANT.. so im going to wait a few more days too see if it builds up.... this is potivie right? im thinking if its not darker by monday morning then i expect af.. im about 4 days late tomorrow..can an ovarian cyst cause this ..?

guess not?

Papasgirl · #28 April 13th, 2012, 04:03 PM

I see it. It is very faint. I tookmy first test at approx 3 weeks according to lmp. It was darker than yours is now. My final test the day before my bleeding started looked like this one. Have your lines been like this all along? Maybe it's just a slow build up for you. Stress is not good for a growing fetus so try to relax... I know easier said.... But try to stay positive. I have everything crossed for you!

Mommakee · #29 April 13th, 2012, 04:39 PM

Good Luck hun and like Papa says some guys just don't get it early on ... he will come along!

seto_shellie · #30 April 13th, 2012, 07:32 PM

atucally.. this is progression cause i couldnt even get a "faint" line on it monday.. i just let it go. and then realized i was 4 days late... doc siad the baby was not on the ultrasound monday and that i did concieve that if the test comes out pos then its aobut 4 weeks

Stefanie(Papasgirl) said everything very well. Nothing I can add except....((((HUGS))))

Papasgirl · #32 April 14th, 2012, 03:38 AM

Well 4 weeks would be to early to see anything. I would go back to the doctor and have them do a quantitative blood draw.... Demand it. Tell them your concerns over and over until they actually hear the worry in your voice. Then have another draw in two days. I had a blood draw scheduled for 11am the day I miscarried. I started bleeding at 7am and my daughter ended up being sick and hospitalized that morning so I never made it to the midwife. Taking all of these tests will make you crazy, scared , depressed and stressed out... Nothing good for a baby or pregnant mom.... And unless you get a completely white test...you are pregnant so take care of you! Only time will tell. You are on my mind.

You should see what my tests looked like at first and they were FRERS! Did you try testing with SMU? Don't be discouraged about the fibroids either. I have two and one is huge and look where I am now? Congratulations! Hang in there and I'll post my tests just to give you an idea....
