Line progression?

I could be 14dpo approx. Top one is Monday bottom is today. I got a positive on a clear blue digital. 3 days since missed period

I read a post earlier and someone referred to their child's biological father as 'the sperm donor' as they have nothing to do with the child, is it just me who finds this disrespectful, inconsiderate and damn rude to people who actually used or are a sperm donor?

Because to me sperm donors are people willing to help people create families fir different reasons thst they need a donor abd shouldn't be categorised with men who cant be bothered with their children!

I'd love to hear other people's views on this.

Recommended time to get pregnant again?

So I was told in an ideal world not to have another baby until 2 years after my current baby. Is it getting pregnant until 2 years or giving birth?
Ideally I'd like to have my babies closer together(due to my own age etc)

My partner had ASD

Anyone else expecting their first with a papa on the Spectrum? I could really use some support.🥺

Conceiving after 40

Can you tell me if you found it okay conceiving after 40 I have other children. I’m worried that I won’t be able to have more. I want one more next year.

How do you do it...

When baby just wants to be latched all the time but you have your other kids to take care? Looking for some tips that I can care for all my children

Depo shot

Has anyone gotten pregnant after getting off depo if so how long. I’m also very small like 100lbs and 25 years old

Have I had my peak?

Premom app says tests are still ‘low’. Did I just miss it when testing? Been feeling sharp pains in left side this evening which I’m wondering could be linked to ovulation?

Does anyone with an iud, husband say that they can feel it while having sex?

It’s scaring me because he feels it and it has me wondering if it’s not far up enough and he’s gonna get me pregnant 😩😩

Kendamil

How did your babies take to Kendmil?

Negative Pregnancy Test

I tested negative on the day I was supposed to get my period. Now I’m on my third day of missed period and I no longer want to test 🙄 My periods are usually on time or early so this is strange. Yes, we were intimate during my ovulation window. What makes this even a bit annoying is that with my previous pregnancy, I was positive right from the day I expected my period. 😐
Has anyone gone through this? Now I feel like I should wait the rest of the week smh.

Is this positive?

I am 11DPO so I know I shouldn’t really test.

Does this look positive to people? Or are my eyes deceiving me?

Really hoping this my rainbow baby 🤞🏼 🌈

Do I still have a chance?

Last had sex CD13. Just had my LH peak on CD15. Do we still have a chance of pregnancy this time round? Can’t BD as my husband is away until Saturday! 😩

Too early?

I know I shouldn’t do this to myself but I’m only 7dpo. Trying to look for something that definitely isn’t there 😭

What do I do

So I took a test yesterday which the first came back invalid the second came back positive 1-2 weeks, I took 2 more tonight and have had 2 negative results from 2 different brands, do I go with the negatives or do I need to book an appointment with the gp for a blood test or something?

Intrigued to know people’s thoughts…

There’s no right or wrong answer here but I’m just curious what other people think..

Do you think if a friend or family member is child free, they should make the effort to go and see the friend or family member who has children?
Not every time because effort goes both ways in any relationship, but what do you think?
