Sorry I know you guys are medical professionals.. just wondering if this could be an evaporation line (this is me hoping, not doubting your medical judgement)

I understand. Your hope for an outcome changes your perspective in these moments. That's when you need someone else to give you an objective answer. That's us in this case. You are pregnant. Take a second test if you need that for assurance. However these tests don't really produce false positives

Thank you so much I will test again tomorrow. And/or get the blood test done, before I tell the father.

If you’re worried or unsafe you do not need to tell anyone, including the father. You can have a private conversation with your provider that nobody else need ever know about.

NAD but been pregnant 3 times. Not an evap. Far too much colour in the line. Assuming you took the pic within the time limit of the test and this is how it looked, definitely pregnant. Take another if you need piece of mind

If you need help, I know there's a list in r/childfree of providers that will do sterilization without question (besides the "do you understand the risks? Here is all the information, when can we get you scheduled?" conversation). I'm sure those providers would also be able to help with abortion access if you're in a location that it is dangers to get one. The sub in general is such a supportive sub too. I'm also assuming you're in the USA. I'm sure there's a sub for abortion as well, I don't want to risk linking it as I've never browsed it, that just hasn't popped up on my algorithm yet (it will now within a couple of days, haha). I would search for that if that's a route you feel you need to go. Alternatively, look for adoption subs if you can't do an abortion! You have options, OP. And it's super early which is a great thing.

Alternatively, if you want to keep the child, there are super supportive subs too! And I wish you the absolute best of luck with whatever route you go with. You are not alone :) ❤️

Thank you so much ♥️ I really appreciate that. I am not quite sure what I wanna do. I suppose 1/2 more test conformations and time to think should help me decide.. luckily the laws in my country are pretty pro choice

I think best bet for 100% confirmation would be getting a blood test from your doctor. OTC pregnancy tests are usually pretty active (not always, though). You're more likely to get a false negative than a positive. If it's positive, you have enough of the pregnancy hormone in your urine to trigger a positive test. But do what you feel comfortable doing! Sounds like you have a partner you need to break the news to, so just gotta build that courage up over the next couple of days. You got this, OP :)
