I don't really know where to put this so I guessed, I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
So boyfriend and I have been WTT. We for sure want kids and probably in the near (or nearish) future but there's a lot going on right now that needs to settle down and I'm not 100% sure I'm ready. I love kids and have wanted my own for ages but every time I start to think about the life-altering reality of it I get kind of panicky and feel like not yet.
AF was a few days late. Now this isn't really a big deal for me as it's fairly irregular and is often off of what I try to predict, even sometimes by 4 or 5 days. I've also been on antibiotics for a UTI, I just barely finished them, and I think I read somewhere at some point that can cause delays in your cycle--correct me if I'm wrong, as I haven't actually looked into it. But I've felt...off for the last day or 2. Nothing really bothersome, nothing I can pinpoint, nothing I'd really call symptoms aside from the late AF, just a little bit, vaguely off. I honestly hadn't really thought much about it until this evening. But I'm kind of an anxious person and had a test lying around so I figured for the sake of peace of mind it wouldn't hurt.
When I mentioned it to boyfriend before I tested he agreed that it was probably nothing. He even went so far as to point out that we haven't done "the deed" as much as normal this month due to everything else going on and, basically, unless I ovulated really early and there was some sort of slip up we didn't catch it should be almost impossible. But to be fair I don't really track my cycle, just roughly guess.
Test is positive.
Big, fat, instant positive.
Boyfriend went white as a sheet when he saw it. Immediately said we need to get more because he didn't trust that one since at one point it had been left (in wrapper in box) in the glove box of the car for multiple nights so the temperature could've done something to it. And, because Google is our friend, a list of reasons for false positives had medications and UTIs on it. So we got another package but I'm waiting for morning to test again. Can't sleep. I'm cycling between a surreal, lightheaded dreamlike state and total gripping panic.
Help, I guess? Is he right? What do I do?
