How did you tell your partner that you're pregnant?

[Welshhunniexx]

I did my first test 4 days before af was due and it showed a very very faint positive. oh couldnt see it but i knew i could. the following day the test was a bit stronger but he still couldnt really see it and he kept asking me am i sure im not just seeing it as i want to be pregnant so bad. my answer was a firm no, i definatly see it. i could tell he didn't really believe me but said ok.

that afternoon i persuaded him to let me buy a clear blue digi, eventhough he said it would come up negative.
it took forever for the result to show up, but when it came up pregnant 1-2 i shouted down the stairs 'umm darling' his first words were 'its negative isnt it'. after i told him that it was actually positive all i could hear him shout was 'yeeeesss!'.

i found out then that he was too scared to believe the faint tests as he didnt want to get his hopes up x x x

Erm......I was drunk haha

Me and my OH had been trying for 16months and were in the process of starting clomid when my AF arrived. Because we had been trying for so long I didn't think anything of it. Went out with a few mates, only had a couple of beers but was tipsy, when my OH picked me up from the pub he mentioned that my AF was late, me being tipsy didn't think much of it plus didn't want to see another negative test if I was honest. So off we went to asda, bought asdas own brand test and cat food.....
I peed on the stick actually giggling cos I was tipsy lol and got the faintest line u could imagine! Didn't quite believe it, neither did my OH, so left it at that and went to sleep. Tested again when I woke up and got the same faint line so me and my OH went to asda again for some clear blue digi's and stuff to make a fry up.....nom nom nom!

He then hid the tests from me, and made me keep my wee in for a good couple of hours so that we would get a better reading. We refused to believe it after all the infertility appointments, test and false alarms.
I decided I was going to go for a nice long bath and begged for the tests, he finally gave in. So while I was running the bath I done the test and left it on the windowsill while the wee hourglass flashed at me, felt like the longest few minutes of my life!
Then it came up in black n White "1-2weeks". I ran down stairs and fell at the bottom I was in so much shock, showed my OH the test and he started crying and hugging me saying "ok I believe it now" and cos he was hugging me so tight our dog thought he was hurting me so starting going nuts and barking at him trying to protect me lol.
We ended up driving to Glasgow to tell his parents.
Not really special, I always thought of wrapping test up for him or buying him come thing daddy related for him coming home, but cos of all the trouble we went through, we always tested together as I couldnt handle the negatives anymore.

So what was meant to be a clomid baby, turned out to be an all natural one x

Mine's not that original I'm afraid....

Found out I was pregnant a few days before valentines day but kept it a secret. Then on Valentines day I cooked him a lovely meal and put the test in a heart shaped box. When I handed him the box he initially felt really bad and said "Oh I didn't know we were buying presents I only got you flowers" I then laughed and said "well it didn't cost much". He opened the box and the look on his face was priceless!

we had been trying for 2 and a half years when we got our bfp.

i had a few symptoms that i put down to waiting for af to arrive. was mega moody for a couple of days which was unlike me. remember saying to the girls at work i wasn't usually like it!

we went on holiday a few days later (suitcase full of tampax!!). after a couple of days af still had not arrived (nothing unusual for me as i have pco and problems with my tubes and was told i was infertile) and i thought nothing of it. i had swollen feet for 2 days which i put down to flying, the heat and being dehydrated. dh suggested i do a test "just in case". went to the pharmacy on the very small island we go to and bought a test (just the one!) and decided to do it the next morning.

went to bed about half 12, got woken up at 4am due to a power cut and the emergency light coming on. i remember lying in bed thinking if that bloody light doesn't go off ill have to do it now! i knew i hadn't been in bed long enough to test. eventually, after half an hour, the light went off and i went back to sleep. woke up at 5:50am needing to wee. i had taken the plastic off the box the night before as i always struggle trying to undo them when i really need a wee! ripped the packaging off and somehow managed to aim it right! i remember putting the cap back on and lookin at the test and the positive line came up before the control line. i couldn't believe it. up until then, a pregnancy test was the only test i had always failed!

i ran out of the bathroom waving my peed-on stick in his face! i remember him looking at it and crying! we found out 3 days after our 4th weddin anniversary and 5 days into our 12 day holiday!

needless to say, we had to go buy moe tests as i didn't believe it! bought a two pack that time and did another test around lunch time, and again the positive came up before the control line.

when we got back home, we arranged an early scan and discovered i was 8 weeks pregnant! the day we had that scan was the day we were due to be referred for ivf.

sorry for the long post but you asked!

Mine isn't very original Im afraid!
We had been TTC for 1 year but my cycle ranged from 40 - 110 days. I had started using opks but found the lines quite hard to read. In one cycle I seemed to ov several times.
After 1 year I went to the gp to try and get my cycles sorted out and was referred to a fertility specialist.
While waiting for the appointment, I saw a clearblue fertility monitor on Ebay and thought I may as well give it a go so bought it.
I got my peak reading around day 25 of my cycle so we dtd around that time.
The following week I was getting bad pains in my left side. It didnt calm down after a week so I went to the GP.
I did a hpt that morning but it was negative.
GP asked if I could be pg and I explained I got a negative test that morning. He asked me to take paracetemol for 2 days and come back.
Two days later, I waved DH off to work and I went to get ready for the GP>
He had asked me about 20 times during the first visit if I could be pg, so I thought hes only going to ask again so I did another cheapie hpt. Left it on the windowsill in the bathroom while I washed my hair. Finished that and picked the test up, expecting it to be negative and chuck it in teh bin. Lo and behold there was a second line! I almost dropped to the floor... I didnt know what to do.
Ran into the bedroom but Ive no idea why.
Picked up my mobile and rang DH while sitting in my pj's with a towel wrapped around my hair. He had only just arrived at work ( and as 1 week into a new job ) and I sat on the top stair and cried while I recounted what had just happened.
He just said "blimey... what are you crying for your supposed to be happy?" lol

And the rest as they say is history......

Turns out the test I did two days previously was actually positive! I dug it out of the bathroom bin and it had a faint second line.. I chucked it away too quickly lol

A bit off thread but could be adapted??
We told my parents today and nipped into Mothercare and bought a 'Grandchild on Board' sign for their car. Told dad we had ordered his birthday present and this was the delivery note...

 

[jomc]

We did something like that for my parents... wrapped up a book called "the grandparents handbook" and gave it to them as a present when we visited for Easter

I had to text the father of my baby as he'd already done a runner an hour before I did the test and was refusing to answer the phone
