40 and trying for baby #2......

jmsmolenski posted:

I think I may be pregnant. A total of 5 tests now, 2 being digital and all with positive results. The First response tests had very faint lines. I know a line is a line, but I'm in denial at this point that it din't take very long when it did with our first AND the fact that I'm 40. I've heard that women in their 40's can see positive results even if they're really negative because of low HCG levels.
My appt. with my Dr. isn't until the 20th and I'm quite anxious to know. At least I have 3 more tests!

Thanks for your input!

Low HcG levels would not cause a positive, they would cause a negative.

If you've taken 5 tests and they've all been positive, congratulations, you're pregnant.

I was 40 when I got pregnant with my second. I got pregnant the first month trying with my first and it took six months of trying off and on to get pregnant with my second.
