Testing positive for pregnancy late

Wondering if any moms of multiples expirenced this: at home pregnancy tests were negative past a week of missed period and you ended up finding out it was because you were "too positive" leading to a false negative because of multiples.

I'm interested to see if anyone did! I tested positive at 3w2d and at 3w3d my HCG was 84, 3w5d it was 200, we were happy with the increase but didn't even think multiples when we had a 118% increase in 48 hours instead of the typical 30-50% they want to see

@Lilly same! It took 2 weeks for me to get a dye stealer, with my 3 singleton miscarriages my lines darkened so much faster than my healthy twin pregnancy, so strange!

right?? I tested EVERY day until I got that dye stealer šŸ˜‚ I was like man what is going on? I didn’t know it was twins until almost a month after I tested. I’m 9 weeks now ā¤ļø

Not everyone has regular periods all the time. I have mild PCOS, my periods usually run 32-35 days. I remember testing what should have been 5-7 days late for my period and getting a negative and I was so bummed.
Five days later when my period still hadn’t come, I tested wondering if I had skipped month (not common for me despite PCOS) and found out I was pregnant. I immediately booked an OBgYN appointment looking to confirm and be seen due to prior miscarriages

The estimate was I didn’t know I was pregnant till between the 7th and 8th weeks

@Lilly congratulations mama!! I found out 2 weeks after I got my positive that it was twins, cause my spoiled ass worked in my OB office and got 3 scans a week my whole pregnancy šŸ˜… then I was hella confused cause I had literally just barely gotten a dye stealer and it's twins?? šŸ’€

Hi I’m intrigued to know your age and have you been pregnant before? Im currently today day cycle 44. Highly unlikely for me. I’ve had two miscarriages in past got positive me after a few days and one after a week. I’ve endometriosis and had an op. Currently on waiting list for IVF and my egg levels are so low I’ve only 5-10% chance. Next year I might have no eggs. I’m only coming 35 with no kids šŸ˜” But no period and it feels like it’s coming sore boobs very bloated like my belly is a bowling ball constantly. And I know this is TMI but a lot of discharge too. Tested on Monday night after a day of working so drinking and running to toilet a lot but I got a complete negative after 2 weeks? I didn’t test earlier cus me and OH did have sex but we literally didn’t think we could be pregnant cus we was drunk and he didn’t do the deed but told any bit of leakage could of made me pregnant. But I’m not holding out hope.

My positive test was early before period was due I just knew and the positive line was there strong before the line to say test worked didn’t think about it until 7 weeks when they told me it was twins

I had a feeling I was pregnant and I had taken a test before my period came about 5 then 3 days early both negative, then first day period was ā€œofficiallyā€ late, negative. Then 4 days late, negative. Over a week late, negative. It was about after 2 weeks of missed period when I finally went to urgent care because I was feeling extremely sick(not morning sick) I was coughing, wheezing, sneezing, etc everything was horrible so I went to hopefully be prescribed medicine. When they got to the routine exams and asked about pregnancy I told them what was going on and they offered to use a pregnancy test there along with all the other tests they gave and it was finally after results came through they said it was positive. I went to my OBGYN maybe 2-3 weeks after and ultrasound confirmed twins.

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
