I’m panicking!! I’ve been so exhausted since having my boy as he does not sleep!! Me and my husband had sex for the first time in over 2 years a couple of weeks ago. Only the once. We used a condom as I’m not currently on contraception. No signs of it splitting. I bought a test today just to reassure myself as I’m a few days late for my period. I’m also very run down so was hoping it was due to this. But this has me panicking!!

First cycle of ttc

I ovulated on the 30th and I’m not sure if im seeing a line? One was in the morning and the other in the evening. Posted another test in the comments

Adoption

Has anyone on here ever adopted? I’m thinking about adopting a child but I want to know other people’s experience with it. How long did it take? What’s the process? Was it expensive?

Hi is this test dark enough for 4 weeks pregnant?

I’ve had losses in the past and I’m absolutely terrified

Colostrum collecting

37 weeks and managed to get 6ml between hands and haakaa! Anyone else just find it so satisfying to collect?

Ps - I WISH it would send me into labour before my due date. I collected it from 37-42 weeks with my son lol!

For those 34+… how long did it take you to get pregnant?

I am 34 and we have been trying for a while (it did for my first as well which happened when I was 29, but not as long as we have currently been trying) but with my age I’m paranoid that it’s going to be so difficult. I’m so discouraged.

Any tips or tricks for TTC

It me us 19 months to conceive our first child and we have now been trying for 15 months to have a second. We have both had all sorts of tests when trying for our first. Ajd I feel like we have tried everything but just dont have any luck. Im 33 and feel like I dont want my body clock to run out. Has anyone got any good tips or things they have tried that have helped their ttc journey?

Missed LH surge

Has anyone ovulation testing using LH red dye strips missed their LH surge? Or does it mean I've not ovulated this month?

For the last 5 months I have always had a 'peak' reading on cycle day 13, of around 1.5/1.6. This month my highest reading was 0.5 which was my reading on days 12 and 13 of my cycle. Now day 14 and my LH numbers are dropping again and premom saying I'm now in 2ww.

I'm wondering if it's because my peak perhaps happened over night and I just didn't test at the right time to catch it? Or it's because I've not ovulated at all.

Ovulation after a baby

Hiya, I am 10months postpartum, and tracking ovulation ready to try for baby number two and I was just wondering if anyone else has had a peak ovulation test last for 5 days
Thank you ❤️

Question

Has anyone ever received a negative at 12 DPO but actually been pregnant?

8/10dpo, chance of a false positive??

Flo predicted my ovulation was May 1st, next period May 16th, earliest test date May 11th with a 6 day early test.
But I believe I ovulated 2 days early, which would make today May 9th, 10dpo. It's not just me that sees a faint line right? What are the chances of a false positive at this point? 😱 This would be my 2nd 💘

Can anyone relate?

I won’t let anyone look after my son because I’m absolutely terrified of button batteries and I’m scared he’ll play with someone with one in.
My partners parents want to always look after my son but I can’t let him due to my anxiety and I know they’ll think I’m ridiculous if I ask about button batteries they already make comments about
My anxiety

Blue dye tests have a special place in hell

Period is two days late and I have elevated temps still but this is what the CVS test gave me 🤦🏾‍♀️ I want to believe it but I have no pink dye on hand

9dpo

Convinced I can see a line! Can anyone else? So used to getting stark white negatives 👀
