Took a HPT - Faint Positive - 5/29

Salaam alaikum - Peace Be with you!

Wow. I was so sure I was going to get a negative thats the only way I could get the courage up to test.

Not so sure now with this faint positive!

I showed my husband and he is thrilled. We agreed to retest after June 6-7th if my period doesn't show up.

I secretly retested on the 30th and the faint positive was still there.

The issue is the home pregnancy tests here in Morocco - don't have anything that tells you how sensitive they are. I am thinking they are at the upper end of things 50 mL HcG perhaps.

I asked my friend who also lives in Morocco and is pregnant - how strong her positive was and she says it was faint and she tested 6 weeks after her missed period.

I posted my HPT on a group I am in on Facebook and I couldn't believe how many women were positive but I also couldn't believe the level of negative responses as well.

In Islam we have the sayings and actions of the prophet Mohammad (pbuh) in Hadith - the one that came to mind in seeing all the negative responses was, "None of you will believe until you love for your brother what you love for yourself." Muslim & Bukhari

I want everyone to get their BFP - and have a healthy pregnancy and baby. Even when I had the crushing conversation with my mother this week in which we discussed her new craft project and I asked who she was making these stuffed soft toy fish for - she said for my babies.

I had to tell her and try not to cry over my key board and say - Mom I am not pregnant yet.

I hold out hope that yes after five months of trying to get pregnant and having never been pregnant that I could still get pregnant. It still was like eating cut glass to say that to my mom and not cry.

Now.. I have a spark of hope burning brighter than ever - maybe I am pregnant. God willing.

One day late and counting.

wa alaikum salaam - and peace unto you
