Hi ladies,
At this point I'm an emotional mess typing this. 6 days ago I got what I thought was finally my bfp on frer! The line was only faint but defs pink in colour. I tested the following night and the pink in the line had gotten a bit darker! I've done a couple of digis also, but bfns. So I have kept testing getting faint pink lines on my frer. I posted a few days ago concerned that my lines were not getting darker, couldn't help myself and tested again- pretty much no line appeared. Finally I've had enough at this point, decided to try using dh urine... BFP apparently... His line is darker than any of mine!!

I've had cramping, light waves of nausea, headaches, loss of appetite and moody. I'm any where from 1-3 weeks late since my cycles are any where from 4 - 6 weeks long. I was 90% sure I was pregnant this month. Lines + symptoms... Finally have my docs appointment tomorrow.. should be interesting.

I will never trust a frer ever again.
 
Your dh needs to go to a dr. There was a news story the other week where a man got a positive on a pregnancy test, and it was a sign of testicular cancer, as certain types of testicular cancer can cause hcg in men. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ts-Reddit-helped-catch-testicular-cancer.html
 
Yes, I've read it can be a bad sign for a man to get a positive pregnancy test. Unless this is a dodgy batch of first response tests. False positives are not very common? Have you tried any other brand? Clearblue digi are not as sensitive so it may just be that your hcg is not high enough to register on those yet x
 
Frers are a pretty reliable test, it sounds like you may have suffered from a chemical pregnancy, when would explain the faint BFP's, (especially if before AF was due) but them not getting darker and then disappearing, however the prev poster is right, if your OH is getting a clear positive on a preg test, he needs to go to a Dr for it to be checked out,
 
Have DH go to a doctor I just read an article about a man getting BFP from testicular cancer.
 
I agree with the other posters if a man gets a positive it is a sign of a rare cancer in males. best of luck to you
 
I was also going to say your OH needs to go and see a doctor, I read the story in the paper and was going to post the same link. I hope everything is okay. x
 
Hoping your DH is ok and fingers crossed for you! :)
 
I definitely think that your DH should get checked out, just because of the research the other ladies have heard. But to ease your mind a little, my guy friends did the pee on a stick thing back at University and...they all came up positive. I am sure all of them don't have the rare type of cancer....they also did it with apple juice which was a faint positive as well...So yes, get it checked out, but don't FREAK OUT! Hope you get answers for everything! Good luck xoxo.
 
I agree with the others, your DH needs to go to the doctor.
 
Wow yea this was on the news just a couple of nights ago and it is very very important that he is tested and hope that all is ok
 
Wow thanks ladies. Seeing the doctor today to try and work out what's going on, will deffinately be getting dh checked out!
 
Well bloods have confirmed- BFN. Dh is fine thankfully! Never doing another frer ever again..

Glad to hear your DH is fine. So no tumor? Did the doctor say why your DH had high HCG in his system? Was he taking supplements?
 
He didn't have hcg, the test showed a false positive. I've used 4 different boxes of frer's and I was getting positives also but bloods confirmed I was never pregnant.. confusing and very upsetting but so glad dh is fine!
