So let me start by saying I’ve always wanted to be a mum. This has been on my mind since I was a little girl. Well my partner and I decided to try for a baby. I did the doctors check ups, blood tests etc. Then we get down to business. At like 10 dpo I start having some weird symptoms. It burns when I pee a little so thought maybe uti but then it went away, I had cramps low down on my left side but didn’t feel like period cramps. My boobs get a little bigger but not painful or sore because I thought my period was approaching. Well period day comes and I’m tired as anything. But I had also been on morning shifts all week which was unusual for me. I had a logical explanation for everything. I ate vanilla icecream and it made me feel a little nauseated. Well two days late and I couldn’t wait any longer to test. We had friends over at our place for drinks so I quickly stole a moment away in a rush with my partner and said I better pee on a stick… so I did and I see the two vertical control lines come up and I’m looking and can’t see the horizontal plus sign. I’m disappointed but know I need to get back out to my guests. So I tell partner nope negative, and throw it in the bin and out we go to our guests. 10 minutes go by and something tells me I’m pregnant, like surely that test must have been wrong. I go back inside, fish the test out of the bin and look at it again. Really squinting to see if the horizontal sign has appeared at all (even though I know it’d be invalid by then) but then it clicks and I realise I’ve read the test wrong. The test was POSITIVE! And there wasn’t meant to be a horizontal line, the second vertical line that was there all along and showed up straight away WAS the positive test line 😂😂😂 I go and grab my partner and say you need to come with me,. I take him inside and give him the test and say I’m an idiot, I read it wrong… does this mean what I think it means? And he says I think it means you might be pregnant. I am in shock, I am so happy and excited. He is so excited and happy. My dreams have come true.

Have a doctors appointment Monday and will hopefully confirm with blood test, also want to say the line was actually darker when I first took the test and after leaving it it had faded. Photo is after I fished it out of the bin but the line was definitely 100 percent no mistaking it was there!

Wishing sticky baby dust to everyone trying and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ladies double check your test and make sure you’ve read it correctly before trying to throw it away 😂❤️
