Took home pregnancy test - to do blood test


Hi there,

I think I am pregnant at last. I took two home pregnancy tests today(one early this morning before work and one late morning) and both showed a positive result. The problem is I have to get a blood test to confirm it and my husband says i must wait because my period is only due between 19-21st.

I have never seen my husband smile so much since I was last pregnant (but miscarried).

Am I too excited and when should I do the blood test?

Yay! Congrats on your BFP! From what I hear, you might get a false negative from a home test, but if there's a line, even a faint one, then you're PREGNANT! I tore off the same day as my home test showed +ve to the labs to get a blood test done (just to be sure). No waiting for me!! So off you go! So excited for you - just if you're driving, don't crash the car (speaking from experience...).

Let us know how it goes!
