Yep. My head is telling me no way, not for another few years. My gut is telling me I need a sweet newborn head to smell again.
Did you do the squint? And the tilt and peer? Isn’t it odd, with an actual positive, it’s obvious immediately that there are two lines. With a negative, you tilt it every which way just to check.
Yes! I do the squint and the tilt and peer. I even brought Julia in for a second opinion. “You don’t see just a really, really faint line there?”

I had my tubes tied in August after six months on and off bed-rest while pregnant with Vivian. I NEVER need to do that to myself, my family, or my friends again. Still, I completely understand. There will be no more plus signs or pink lines in my future, so I think my feelings on the matter might be a shadow of the disappointment you describe. I hope you have another baby if you really want one. (((((((HUGS))))))))
Girl, I lived on the hope of two pink lines for years to no avail! So, I know the feeling. We should’ve bought stock in E.P.T! Then, we decided to adopt and the experience is such a beautiful blessing! I’ll be hoping and praying you get another bundle of joy soon!!
I so know that feeling. Even with Cleatus having had a vasectomy…I’ve still bought a couple tests and squinted and stared and hoped. Stupid single lines.
I’m finding to be so strange now…the same friends whose hands I held, when they were hoping for ONLY one line in college, are the same people whose hands I am holding now…looking and squinting and tilting. Full circle…
I really think we will have another one. And while I know now isn’t the right time – Lucy is still so young and our finances are pretty rocky – my uterus doesn’t know that and it seems to have more influence over my heart than my brain, right now.
I told myself that if it was negative, that was okay because the timing really isn’t ideal anyway. That’s what my brain said. My heart was broken a little.
Isn’t that the truth? When I think of all the money I’d spent on birth control when I was younger just to find getting pregnant when you want to isn’t as easy as you might think!
hugs.
Sorry! My wife wanted four kids and it took awhile for the last one. Hang in there.

Thanks. We weren’t even trying, but when I thought I might be pregnant and then wasn’t, I was shocked at how disappointed I was.
We’re really not ready for another baby right now. But I sort of got excited when I thought one might be on the way. Maybe down the road.

Ooops, I just read your past comments. So, I’ll be hoping and praying that you get another bundle of joy WHEN YOU’RE READY

I hope we’ll get the chance to have at least one more!

I guess it’s better to be disapointed with one line than to be disappointed when you get two.
oh gosh what a tension…I had to read the comments to know what the pink line meant!
Yeah, I guess this doesn’t say much for the poor pregnancy test brands that reveal their result as a plus or a minus or a different color.
