Could it be?

Okay, I tested today because we'll be staying with family for the next week, and don't really want to test around them. I'm about 12 DPO, based on using OPKs. I used an older test this morning. My sister had it left over from when she was PG with my nephew. However, it's still nearly a year before the expiration date. It was one of those +/- tests from Target, and the vertical line was very faint, but definitely there. DH & I are still in shock and don't quite believe it, but I'm freaking out. We're trying to decide if we want to tell, and we want to be 100% certain before we do tell! (DH didn't want to, but I asked him if we wouldn't tell his family if we had a m/c?) So.....I'm going to take a digital later, and if AF stays away, I'll test again later if the digital is negative. I just need to share this!!!!

That's awesome!!! I am 11-12 DPO. I'm usually due for AF on 30th day, which will be this Thursday. I have decided that I will wait until Friday or Sat am to test though - if AF doesn't come. Have you had any symtoms at all or implantation bleeding? I have had nothing at all, which makes me think I'm not PG.

I had AF like cramps some of last week, but I was also really gassy (TMI?). Then, they all stopped, although I've got some going on right now. I don't know if that's in my head. I'm just so freaked. It couldn't be this easy. It's only our 2nd cycle TTC. But, I had a very emphatically positive OPK two weeks ago, so......

I'm really just not trusting the test because I know it's 2 years old.

This is my second month off the pill. I was thinking the same thing, this can't be this easy, I will start AF.... It's hard not getting your hopes up!!! Keep posting here and let me know what happens. Are you going to try another test? Since my AF is due Wed or Thurs, I'm trying to wait.. although its hard.

I know y'all's feeling. AF is due for me today. So far, nothing. I'm still going to wait until this weekend to test though. Question though. Do the digital tests work even for small amounts of HcG? I was wondering because I still have one left or do I need to get another one? Thanks. Good luck to everyone. McCall
