Hi ladies I need help here!

So I’m currently TTC, and I took a pregnancy test and it come up with a faint second line, I then panicked and took another 15 mins after drinking a bottle of water which resulted in another faint second line

I then took another one an hour after and now this is even fainter pointing more to negative can yous help me ? It won’t let me upload 3 pictures here so I’ll post in comments

Anyone else about 6 weeks?

Just found out on Monday and faint lines on the tests aswell as 1-2 weeks on the digital… nervous as the line don’t seem to be getting darker?😭 anyone else have the same? Last period was 7th August but I don’t ovulate till really late on in my cycle so I think I’ve just caught it really early?

Faint positive?

I’m on cycle day 25 but my cycles are normally 15 days so I’m 9 days late on my period.. maybe too early to be testing🙃

Digital tests

I’m 4+4 today, and still getting 1-2 weeks from conception on clear blue. Really was hoping I’d get a 2-3 by now, I’ve had 3 early losses in the last two years, currently on progesterone, aspirin & clexane. Feeling so anxious. When did everyone else get 2-3 on a digital? X

Toddler and a new born

I'm on maternity leave.

Just had a new baby.
My daughter is 2.8 years old and I'm considering taking her out of nursery, but wonder if I can manage.

But surely I can, so many people look at 2 kids at one time.

Please share your experience looking after a new born and toddler.

Nursery fees are sooo much, so I'm thinking for financial reasons too take her out. But is it worth it?

This is negative, right?

So I just took this pregnancy test, and I’m looking for a second opinion.
This test looks negative to me.

Line eyes?

I’ve taken multiple easy at homes since yesterday afternoon and all seem to have a faint line. I would say maybe a bad batch however I took an easy at home in the Wednesday when I was 7dpo and it was stark negative so feeling very confused.

10 dpo

Has anyone had a negative at this point and still been pregnant?

put in the comments my cycle

Ttc

I had a chemical pregnancy back in april (not trying). Me and my husband have been trying since july. I got pregnant so easily with my first. This time.. it's been hard. I've gotten false faint positives. Every cycle that ends with my period coming.. every post I see where someone else has gotten pregnant again.. it just kills me a little more inside. I can't help but wonder if the one I lost in april was my last chance.

Negative

This is the 6th cycle after a miscarriage & my period never arrived today so I took a test & it’s negative :((
My period is like clock work aways come on the exact day I should so I’m just so sad :((

With the miscarriage pregnancy I didn’t test positive until a week after my missed period so I’m also worried something could be wrong again
