  How to Take an At-Home Pregnancy Test
  Taking a home pregnancy test is easy and painless, but you need to follow the directions exactly. The overall process is the same:
  Urine is applied to a strip of litmus paper to determine if human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), the hormone produced once the embryo implants into the uterus, is present in your urine or not.
  If the HCG is not detected, you will get a negative pregnancy test. If HCG is detected, you’ll get a positive pregnancy test.
  An HCG level of less than 5 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL) is considered negative, an HCG level higher than 25 mIU/ml is considered positive, and anything between 6 and 24 mIU/mL is considered possibly pregnant. — source
  But these are just general guidelines. HCG doubles every 48-72 hours in 85% of normal pregnancies, but some women don’t produce much of the hormone and still go on to have a healthy pregnancy. Other women produce very large amounts of the hormone. For this reason, the “normal” range of HCG levels in early pregnancy varies greatly.

  Types of At-Home Pregnancy Tests
  Depending on the type of pregnancy test you purchased, there are slightly different methods for taking a pregnancy test:
  Stream of urine: The test is taken by holding the tip of the test under a steam of urine for a few seconds.
  Dip: The test is taken by dipping the test into a cup of urine for about 20 seconds.
  Drop: The test is taken by urinating into a cup and then using a syringe to apply just a few drops of urine to the test.
  Regardless of which test you purchased, read the directions thoroughly before beginning and grab a stopwatch before you begin.

  Positive pregnant tests can range from very obvious, solid lines to so faint you wonder if you’re imagining things. Take a peek at my positive pregnancy tests:

  When to Take a Pregnancy Test
  Home pregnancy tests give the most accurate results about a week after your missed period, but WHO CAN WAIT THAT LONG? When you’re hoping for a positive pregnancy test, waiting one full week after your missed period seems downright cruel. The good news? You can get a positive pregnancy test earlier. Many women post pictures of positive pregnancy tests as early as 10 days past ovulation (DPO).
  Thanks to the increasing sensitivity of at-home tests, many pregnancy tests can detect HCG as early as 7-10 days after conception.
  But every woman’s body is different, and some women produce more HCG than others. Because of this, you can definitely get a false negative if you test too early. If you have the self discipline to wait till at least the day of your missed period, it may help avoid the emotional ups and downs of seeing a negative and wondering if it’s just too early.
  Testing in the morning, or with first morning urine (FMU), can also help ensure a pregnancy test’s accuracy, since this is when your urine generally has the highest concentration of HCG.
  What if I Get a Faint Positive Pregnancy Test? Can a Faint Line Be Negative?
  The only thing harder than waiting long enough to take a pregnancy test is trying to interpret the pregnancy test. Unless you are using a digital test, which displays the words “Pregnant” or “Not Pregnant,” you may have to whip out a magnifying glass to assess your test. ?
  Many pregnancy tests show pink or blue lines to indicate whether a test is positive or not, and sometimes those pink and blue lines are so faint that it can be hard to tell if they are even there in the first place! But to make matters even more confusing, faint lines can also be negative. Ahh, what gives!?
  Here’s the scoop on faint tests:
  Positive: Yes, a faint test usually means a positive result! When a test is taken properly, a faint line often means pregnancy and is not just an evaporation line.
  Negative: However, a very faint line can *sometimes* indicate an evaporation line, which is nothing more than your urine drying on the test. (It is usually more of a grey color than pink or blue.) In this case, the test would be negative. Your chance of seeing an evaporation line is greatly decreased if you read your test within the proper timeframe listed in the directions. The longer you wait to read the test, the more time the urine has to dry and create that evaporation line, so don’t walk away and come back later to check.
  Positive faint lines are more common when testing before your missed period. However, if you do test well past your expected period date and you still see a super faint line, there are a few other considerations:
  Your body may not be producing adequate amounts of HCG
  You may be experiencing a chemical pregnancy
  You didn’t use your first morning urine
  You may have a hormonal imbalance (Hormonal imbalances have funny ways of presenting themselves. For example, this man produced enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test.)
  How Accurate Are Pregnancy Tests?
  When you’re hoping for a positive pregnancy test and you finally see one, you probably want to know how accurate that result is before you celebrate. When all directions are followed properly, today’s pregnancy tests are up to 99% accurate when used after your missed period. These tests are just as accurate as the urine tests used at doctor’s offices.
  Note: While you can take pregnancy tests before a missed period (and many women do), the accuracy rate is not 99%.
  The closer you take the test to your missed period, the more accurate it will be. Using expired tests can also affect a test, so always check the expiration dates before using a test.
  Which Pregnancy Tests Are the Most Accurate?
  You’re ready to buy a pregnancy test, but which one should you get? You’ll have a lot of options to choose from, and they vary quite a bit in price. Are the expensive ones really that much better than the cheap ones? Do you need a two-pack? A three-pack? Consumer Reports tested 18 brands of pregnancy tests and discovered not all tests are created equally. The two best were:
  First Response Early Result: First Response Early Result was rated as the best pregnancy test. because it was able to detect very low levels of hCG—concentrations as low as 6.5 mIU/ml.
  ClearBlue Easy: ClearBlue Easy made the list, because even at lower concentrations, this test produced thicker, easier-to-read lines.
  Can You Get a Positive Pregnancy Test and Not Be Pregnant?
  Although false negatives are far more common than false positives, it is possible to receive a positive pregnant test result and not be pregnant. However, a false positive is usually not a random result; often an underlying condition causes incorrect results. False positives can be caused by:
  Certain medications: If you are taking fertility medications, you may see a false positive. (In this case, it’s best to follow the directions of your fertility specialist and test when s/he recommends). Other medications that affect results include HCG (when used as a weight loss medication), medication for Parkinson’s disease, some anxiety medications, certain diuretics, and promethazine.
  Certain conditions including UTI and cysts. In the case of a UTI, blood and protein may enter your urine, which can cause the test results to be erroneous.
  Recent miscarriage: The test may be picking of HCG from the former pregnancy. Even if you miscarry, HCG does not return to zero immediately—it takes time for HCG to leave the body. For this reason, many doctors do not recommend trying to conceive after a miscarriage until you have confirmed HCG levels of zero. This makes it much easier to date the following pregnancy, as well as eliminate confusion as to whether the HCG is from the previous pregnancy or a new pregnancy.
  Can You Get a Negative Pregnancy Test and Still Be Pregnant?
  One negative pregnancy test doesn’t necessarily mean you’re out of the game. There are a few reasons why you may be receiving negative results, but still be pregnant:
  You took the test too early
  You didn’t follow the instructions (i.e. maybe enough urine didn’t get onto the applicator tip of the test)
  Your body doesn’t make as much HCG as other women. Some women only get positive pregnancy tests via a blood test at the doctor’s office.
  If your period is more than two weeks late and you still aren’t getting a positive pregnancy test, it’s time to visit your doctor or midwife.
  Should Pregnancy Tests Get Darker Each Day You Test?
  If you tested early and got a faint line, don’t worry! As HCG increases, a positive pregnancy test will look darker. Many mamas who take daily tests to make sure the line darkens, swear by the First Response Early Result.
  Do realize that it won’t be a perfect science so don’t expect a perfect unfolding of darker lines. As you can see from the tests above, some days you won’t notice a darkening as much as other days. It can also depend on the room’s lighting and how much pee made it on the stick!
  If, at any point, you’re worried about continued faint lines, speak to your doctor or midwife. She’ll be able to check your HCG levels (blood test) and check your progesterone level as well.
  So You Got a Positive Pregnancy Test, Now What?

  OK, I Want to Know: How Many Pregnancy Tests Did You Take?
  I took about 3-4 each pregnancy, but I know some mamas who took 8 or 9! Why so many? Sometimes it’s hard to believe that the thing you’ve wanted for so long is actually happening, and you just want validation (many, many times)!

  I’m 38 years old never been pregnant, I have missed my period on previous occasions and so 5 days ago miss my period thought nothing of it. This morning I was like I need to find out because I’m on medication that can cause birth defects and I would be considered a high risk pregnancy. I took 1 it had the cross saying that I was pregnant. I didn’t believe it so I took 2 more test they both came back positive for pregnant so immediately called the doctor to schedule a blood test today. So we will see.

  I was a week late for my period , finally got it but only lasted 2 1/2 days when normal
  is 5. It wasn’t heavy like it normally is the second day mostly consisted of spotting both brownish and light pink mixed with clear. I took a test 3 days ago it was negative took a digital the next day it was positive, about 2 hours later took another non digital it was negative. All 3 of my test were the first response brand.The previous week prior to having it I felt extremely tired. Currently still been feeling more tired, have been having a coppery taste in my mouth especially when having morning coffee my coffee taste metallic to me. I’ve also been more itchy than usual have developed a slight rash on my face very textured small bumps all over my skin. My right nipple keeps getting itchy and hard randomly and I wake up with a slight headache in the morning. Not sure if I got a false positive with my digital test so to disregard it all or to retest with home test or go straight to the doctor?

  Hi I’ve taken a pregnancy test earlier and got a second faint line … not sure if it’s positive or just an indent . Please help me .

  Ok hun, went through this myself literally this morning and it freaked me out to the point I went to the doctor immediately to have a blood and another urine test. Immediately popped up before the control even could. A faint line just means you probably drank a little too much fluid or the test may just be slightly off. But any line , faint or not, is positive. 💛 Good luck dear. See a doctor if you’re truly worried. P.s. I just found out myself. 👍 My gyno appt is on the 9th. 🙂

  I am 35 yr and I think this will be my first pregnancy. After thinking I would never be able to have children. So I started to feel myself getting tired fast and extremely sore breast and nipples. But I didn’t think anything of it because when my cycle come my nipples normaly hurt. So when day 3 and my cycle was late…I started to wonder could it be possible that I’m pregnant…if you knw me that was a very faint idea but deep inside a small hope that it could finally be true. So I try my best to sweep that through under the rug…and just wait for my cycle to come. After day 5 of no cycle and my nipples literally having me in pain. So after work I decided to go to buy two dollar store pregnancy test…and took them that night both were postive with dark lines on both. So I went into frenzy about omg it not real. So the next day I decided two buy 3 more test…2 dollar store and 1 that read the word the nice one…I went home took them they all were postive. Now I have a appointment to do blood test on Monday. I have 3 more days to wait…it is hard to believe yet…I’m so scared that it false- postive because I was always told I couldn’t have kids it would be hard for me. I the condition called hairuism. Where you grow facial hair as a woman. And I am overweight..so I’m just waiting but any knowledge will be helpful….

  Hi, i have been testing the last 4 days. The first one was an obvious positive, however since then they have all been very very faint. The camera only just picks them up, but others have been able to see them also. The issue is they are not getting any darker and it has been 4 days now. Are they all so sensitive now that they pick up the base line HCG? Is there any chance left that i could be pregnant?

  It is so, so hard to say! I would recommend using a completely different brand of test–if the faint line cannot be seen by the naked eye, especially after taking serial tests, then it is likely not an actual positive result. I hope you find answers soon!

  I suggest getting to a doctor for a blood pregnancy test. I’ve had 3 urine tests, all positive but just had my blood today. It’s supposed to show the level of HCG (pregnancy hormone) in you, so you can better understand how far along you might be. And they’re absolutely accurate. As well as an ultra sound if possible.

  So right now I’m one of those that are taking multiple tests. Two months ago I had a miscarriage. I’ve been nervous it’ll happen again. So everyday I take one in the morning till my appointment on Tuesday just to keep me at ease to keep seeing the positives! I found out at 3 weeks 3 days according to the app. So I’m kinda wondering how I got a positive that early and that’s also why I keep testing. My blood test is on Tuesday and I’m hoping I can get an ultrasound done just so I know it’s actually there and everything is in order!!!! Call me crazy but I don’t wanna stress seeing those line make me beyond excited

  I am sure that is frightening after your experience–tests getting darker are a very, very reassuring sign, however. Make an appointment with your OBGYN or midwife as soon as possible–that should help reassure you about what the future holds for you!

  So the day I was supposed to ovulate I took a ovulation test it had a high ovulation strips but also took a hCG due to me feeling some symptoms. All my hCG’s came back positive I use clear blue first response and the equate brand compare to clear blue in first response all came back positive including digital’s.I went to the doctor this morning and was told that I wasn’t pregnant. But I have to wait for blood results to come back has anyone ever had this happen before.? I’ve taken like over 25 test and they’re all positive

  This sounds partially like me. I was taking ovulation tests to see when I ovulate. I had an idea when I do, but was taking tests instead to make sure. After a few days of very high results (when I didn’t think I was ovulating) I decided to take an hcg test. It was positive. I’ve taken three hcg tests and one first response test. All positive. However I don’t have a doctor’s appointment until 2 more weeks to confirm or deny. Hopefully your doctor was wrong and you are pregnant! Praying we both are!

Then I took another test the day my period was due and positive! So two tests total. I’m so happy! Spoke to the doctor yesterday and my due date is October 17 2021! Will have my first prenatal visit in a few weeks.

  So after an oops event Jan 18th when I was due to ovulate on the 20th my husband was sure we conceived. I already had 9 children and my youngest was 18mos.
  So 4 days in I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I took 7 more on day 7 and they were all faint positive including the clear blue digital with a definitive ‘pregnant’ written across it.
  My period was due the 4th of Feb and I started bleeding with what seemed to be a normal period. I went to my doctor and my HCG was only 4. I assume it’s had a non viable pregnancy but the doctor was in awe that the test picked up that early. My period has been heavy enough there is no way a viable pregnancy could be existing now.

  So this happened to me kinda….my last period was Feb 13th(lasted 3 days, which has been normal for me since going off my bc) welll I was supposed to start my period this month yesterday but started what I thought was a day early with really bad sharp pains that came on suddenly when the bleeding started. Ended up on the hospital yesterday (still bleeding just not as heavy) at first they thought it was an ectopic pregnancy and was preparing me for surgery until the radiologist and obgyn on call for the hospital said they weren’t truly convinced it is an ectopic pregnancy and they are thinking it was a cyst that ruptured as both urine and blood work came back positive…they said my levels of hcg are showing I am only roughly 2-3 weeks along HOWEVER I am getting a fast STRONG positive at anytime of the day with my hpt’s…….little back story here which is why im confused is since last August when the hubby and I decided to try for our last baby I’ve had 4 months of getting a positive urine test (8 times) but my blood work was always coming back negative so when I went in to the hospital yesterday and they told me the both my urine and blood test came back positive I was in shock and scared to think I could lose this baby and I still am as I am still unsure if this is a viable pregnancy yet or not. I have to get blood re-taken this Saturday to see of my levels are doubling our not. If they are going up and they drop or stay the same they are ruling it as an ectopic pregnancy. I just don’t know why I would get a very strong fast positive at 3 weeks pregnant and at any given time of the day at that. Prayers to you and good juju and baby dust your way!

  Hey ladies
  So I sadly had a miscarriage in October, 3 weeks after had very strong negative tests in a few different brands which I have had consistently. Been checking ovulation and 9 days ago had a positive stick, me and my partner done the baby dance. Didn’t really think to much, today I had a comment from a good friend who is an hairdresser asking was I pregnant again as my hair lifted really easy.
  I of course said no but due on soon( going off my ovulation stick) so many that why, of course soon as I got home I did a test clear blue and it was a faint but very much there positive line.
  I had blood tests yesterday due to not having a period since my miscarriage. Of course iam hoping that I have caught again and this time baby will stay but iam so scared that I might lose it again or if my miscarriage was incomplete even though I took loads of pregnancys which came back negative never took a clear blue till now.
  Please wish me luck
  ?? Xx

  I’ve taken 3 pregnancy tests two days after my missed period. After two seconds the lines were already there on all three! The last one even had a faint control line, I heard that means my hcg levels are really high. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t believe these tests? Two were First Response and one was HEB brand. I’m used to getting negative tests a lot, so I need a lot of reassurance that I’m actually pregnant

I was due on yesterday but haven’t come on. I’ve been having mild cramping for the past 5 days (mainly on one side or in my lower back) and my nipples are so tender to touch! I’m so confused 🙁

  FOLLOWING!!!!
  I too ovulated/conceived on June 7th, My period date came and went and AF never showed. So I took my tests randomly then got about 6 positive results on June 19th …. the lines were faint but confirmed it with a digital as well. Yesterday, June 23rd, I took three which were so faint I thought they could possibly be negative. There was just a tiny bit of a brownish tint when I wiped and a little brown stringy CM… I freaked out (although read it could be old lining also from no AF bc of pregnancy). Literally had a meltdown, ran to the store and took a few digital ones. Clear blue said Pregnant! I had a wave of relief but still am fearful for the health and well-being of my baby to be. This morning I took two more tests with the lines. Again so faint it was hard to tell if they even existed. So I took another digital and got a positive, Pregnant. I’m so confused and I want peace of mind SO BADLY!!! I know that’s a good sign but I’m petrified of the possibility of a chemical pregnancy or miscarriage… I have my first OB appointment set for July 2nd and I’m going to be a nervous wreck until I figure out the outcome. Praying for a healthy and full term pregnancy… please anyone with advice, experience or knowledge reach out and shed some light and support. I’d greatly appreciate it!

  I am one of the those confirmation people lol. I took a pregnancy test the day before my missed period and it said pregnant. So I wanted to double check and got three other ones. The first response showed positive the first tome but the other two tests said no. One had maybe a very faint line the other spelled out no. But the clear blue said I was pregnant 1-2 weeks and I took 2 more this morning . Clear blue saying positive and the first response not. So confused!

  Hi! So I have the Nexplanon arm implant and have been getting symptoms of pregnancy for a month now( I don’t get periods anymore) , can’t tell if it’s the bar side effects or early Pregnancy. Week ago took a PT and it was negative, last night took one and it was negative also. This morning at 8am, I took one again to make sure, showed up negative, but I got home at 10pm decided to take a peak at it again and it showed a blue positive. Help! Too young and don’t know what this means.

  Try a pink dye test, the blue dye ones are not as easy to read.

  I took 7 I still cannot believe it: all 7 had very clear positives. I took three 2 days before my periods was suppose to start which is today, I took four this morning (my period day) with my morning urine. ALL POSITIVE could it be ? I am having a really hard time believing this. I am still not convinced could I have taken it too early? I have been having sore breasts and right sided on off cramping that is the reason I took the tests. I am sadly still looking for a doctor as I just moved back in my hometown. Am I in complete denial XD??

  I have taken 8 just because I’m in shock and I’m still not convinced! I keep thinking what if they’re all wrong and something else is wrong with me! My doctors appointment isn’t till next week because that’s the earliest they can see me because that’s when I should be 7 weeks. Am I wrong to be so pessimistic? Because if this is real I will be so happy but I’m still so scared!

  Okay ladies, I’m so confused. I took two preg tests the day of my missed period, the 24th both came back with faint positives. The 25th I took 4 all but one came back with a faint positive. Today I take another two test and both come back negative. What is going on? Am I being to impatient? Do I need to wait longer? My feelings are so mixed, and my heart can’t take it.

  I feel the exact same way. Took my first one last Thursday – Positive. Took one again in the morning- positive. Did another one in a different brand today- positive. However I’m just not convinced haha, my breasts are a little bit tender on touch, but other than that I haven’t had many symptoms so until I do get more symptoms and obviously get the thumbs up from the doctor (can’t see until Tuesday) then I’ll start preparing but, it just doesn’t seem real. My partner and I are very excited, but I am super nervous. This will be my first and I have NO IDEA what I’m doing lol. Good luck everyone with your pregnancies!!

  Took a test on a whim 2 weeks ago (my 14 month old was getting frustrated while nursing and I had been super tired). It came back with a faint line. I’ve since taken 8 more. I have no idea how far along I am since I haven’t had a period since conceiving my son! I go to the midwives mid-October. Anyone else have the same experience? I just wish I knew how far along I am!

  So hers my story.
  I started spotting last Saturday and it lasted a few days and quit. I took a pregnancy test “First Response” Wednesday night and it was negative. Woke up Thursday morning at 3am and had to pee so I tested again with “First Response digital” and got A YES +
  Shocked and In disbelief I took another test this time it was “Clear Blue digital” and got A NOT PREGNANT. I have taken 3 more digital all “Clear Blue” and they were also NOT Pregnant. We weren’t trying, but the idea was nice. I even woke up my husband at 3 to tell him the great news. Now we’re both just very confused. I scheduled an appointment Monday at the OB to see, but we’re both saddened and are prying that the “Clear Blue” were false negatives.

  So glad this is a recent post. I’ve taken 7 pregnancy tests in the past 2 days and have an appointment Monday for more confirmation. I’m still not belIrving it. Wondering if my vitamins are causing a false positive! As rare as that is. I’m sure multivitamins don’t do that.

  It definitely sounds like you are pregnant, so congratulations! ? I’m basically going thru the same thing because me & my fiance have been trying for a year. I’m 4 weeks late now and I took my first test this past Saturday, it was very positive then took another one Sunday morning and it was positive as well. I’m just in shock & praying my results are real. I go to the Dr in the morning to find out for sure. Good luck & god bless ❤

  Ive taken 9 pregnancy tests all which have came back very clear pregnant! Its been over a week since i took the last one. Im not booked to see the midwife untill the 30th but im very worried that they were wrong or its been a chemical pregnancy. Ive not had any implantation bleeding or had a period since april 11th. Ive wanted this for so long dont know if im just in disbelief that its actually happening. Have an urge to go buy another test but they are expensive. According to my dates im looking at being 6weeks pregnant, im extremely exhausted, had morning sickness, my boobs are tender etc. Can anyone relate? Or re-assure me that 9 positives must be correct! Going out of my mind. Scared i go midwife and theres nothing

  My last period was April 9, I took 3 pregnancy tests at different times. The one I took May 21 was very faint but the one I took today was very dark. Took first response. I don’t have an appointment scheduled until May 30.

  Absolutely the same , I’ve been missing my period for almost 1mounth and 4 weeks . I also took a pregnancy test right after I realised that I’ve missed a lot , and it said that I’m positive . That’s probably sound crazy , but after 2 days I started to be sick , couldn’t eat anything, exhausted, mood swings. That’s just all came at the same time , and I’m scared. I want it to be positive, really do . So I have an appointment 30th , and I guess we’ll find out . I’m stressed that it will not be positive and I’m not pregnant!:(

  I don’t eat meat like that and so my period disspears on me every now and again. I’ve always been thinking oh snap! Am I pregnant? So a “pregnancy” scare probably happened a hand full of times before but then I would bleed. I always thought that maybe it was because I ate a bit of meat again. My period got a schedule again and I was able to keep up with her. My periods were lighter, non existent almost, no real cramping but I had them.
  So come this year Feb it happened again. I had Febs period and waited for my March one. Nothing happened but I ignored it. I figured my vagina is acting up again, whatevs. Then I got sore breast for farrrr too long. Nipples were sting like pain! Just awful. Fatigue was another story and my my acid reflux was out the roof! I was so sick I needed extra time home! April came around and still no period. So I figured with my breast being consistently sore, weird sharp pains in my uterus area randomly that becomes crippling till it passes!? And omg frequent pee alllllllll the time! Yeah. Let me just take a test…. Just cause
  I took my test April 19th I think, in the morning after I slept a bit. Clearblue Rapid Detection and there it was. I dipped for 5 seconds and instantly got a fat plus sign. Thick blue lines too. I was sleepy and still unsure. I’ll be taking another test soon. I dunno how I feel. Its weird. I don’t… Feel anything yet. The realization hasn’t set in yet. I’ll be taking at least 4 more ok. 4….maybe 5.

  My periods are often weird. I can be exact like every 28 days or every 39 days before my period. Even my period tracker has difficulty keeping up. At least, I am not like someone I know who gets her period every other month. Today, I took a pregnancy test (12/7/18) and it was positive. I am trying to not be too excited since I did take it three days before my expected period date, meanwhile another side of me wants to make a doctor appointment to confirm before I leave on a trip.

  I was supposed to get my period on November 13th, but did not. I took a test on the 14th, and got a very faint blue line, so I assumed I was pregnant. To be on the safe side, I bought a second test with pink dye and it was negative. I waited until the next morning and took a third test, this time with blue dye and got another very faint but visible blue line. Today I am five days past my expected period, and took a fourth test to be sure (ClearBlue brand) and it was also negative. My doctor won’t do a blood test until the 26th, but in the meantime my emotions are all over the place not knowing. Other than slightly sore breasts and extreme fatigue and *some* very mild queasiness, I don’t really have major symptoms. Do I need to wait longer? I am following the directions on the tests carefully and both “positive” results appeared in the correct time frame. Is there any way to know for sure other than waiting for a blood test?

  I took a pregnancy test today 9/1/18 (mine and myself boyfriends 2 month anniversary) it wasn’t in the morning it was about mid afternoon and it came out positive I’m definitely taking at least 3 more just to be sure that I am pregnant I’m not taking them all in the same day I’m gonna take them one day at a time I’ll be taking one in the morning but when I showed my boyfriend the pregnancy test he had the biggest smile on his face and just hugged me I know it’s early for us to have a baby but I couldn’t be more nervous/happy to have a baby with him and this website definitely helped a lot.
