    Positive test....

    Pretty sure you're pregnant missus. 99%, take another test anyway but I doubt it'll be any different. :D

    I'm delighted. I've endometritis, not the first time I've been pregnant but never worked out. Now all I'm worried about is do I tell my better half...he's home any minute from finishing work at one...

    Girls I can't tell him this now, it would totally mess up his work plans. I'm worried too, I might have damaged the baby, I'm in training for a marathon.

    Baby's so teeny it won't have even noticed! I know a girl who ran a marathon at 9 weeks and has a nice chubby lil girl now.

    You know you have to tell your OH but take a day to get your own head around it if you need to.

    Congratulations. See your GP to put your mind at ease as to the baby's health but I'm sure all will be perfectly ok. Tell your OH and share in your delight together. :)

    Hi OP,
    From what I know of pregnancy test there is no doubt about it that you are pregnant.....
    You can get a negative result from a test if you test too soon and there is not enough of the pregnancy hormone hcg for the test to detect, however if you get a positive result it shows that there is the presence of the hcg hormone and so hey presto, you are pregnant:)
    Basically it means you can get a false negative but not a false positive..

    Delighted for you and your OH.....

I can continue training too although he now wants to come with me so we'll train together.I've a half marathon Oct and another 2 races Dec, after that might take it handy. This is so exciting!

    Ah fab!

    I kinda knew he'd be delighted, even though I've never met either of you!

    I'm over the moon for you both..

    He's ok with it, not jumping around just yet but I can see why. He works over a hundred hours a week and will be at that a few more years. So explained he won't be around as much as he'd like. I understand that. It's a tough one though, I mean I've spent years trying not to become pregnant, now that I am I'm delighted but I'd always thought I'd plan it. Sometimes surprises are the best way though, maybe it's the right time for my body!
