Are these positive?

Still tested quite early as I’m not supposed to start my monthly till today. I had these two faint lines yesterday but negative results this morning. I’m going to get in touch with the doctors tomorrow but I’m just looking for a fresh pair of eyes!😅

Hypothetical...

If you were picking up your child (4-6yo) from school, and you overheard a group of moms talking about a black child saying "shes one of the good ones".

Going mad

2nd cycle off pill and i havent found a clear lh surge but currently at cd 33. Took a pregnancy test to be sure and just got this. It came up pretty quick, well within the test window

TTC no2 🤍

Can someone confirm this is negative please?? Morrisons own brand and I’m due on my period Tuesday. I hate line eyes 🫠

4months pp and might be pregnant

I gave birth third week of February this year I bled for a month then a week later started my first periods and then they started again same time the month after. My last period started on 25th of April. I’m now nearly 3 weeks late and yet no periods. I breast feed and formula feed my LO and have had unprotected sex. Last year I was a week late and my partner said I was pregnant before I had a test done and we been together 11 years not once he said that before. Fast forward to now, he said I’m pregnant again last week so I took a test Sunday afternoon cheap one and was negative but he is still 100% certain I’m pregnant regardless. Any ideas or advice? I am planning on taking a test in few days btw x

6dpo or 7dpo

I’ve noticed my cm is slightly sticky but in colour wise looks creamier. I thought you dried up after ovulation.

Those who have been pregnant before and tested a lot

What was the first day that you tested positive (following a negative test the day before?)

39 weeks and so far no sign of labor

Any tips or tricks I'm trying to get this baby out by fathers day 😭

Would you say this is a positive?

Put it in Chat GPT and it said it looked negative but it’s been the strongest of all my tests this cycle and now they’re looking weaker. Confused as to whether I should consider this my peak or not

Easy at home tests

Is anyone else being driven mad by easy at home tests?

I have had misscarried three times all before 7 weeks so im nervous - hence the testing and my hcg tailed off in the other pregnancies.

Im 4+1 (14dpo) and got a 1-2 weeks on clear blue at 9dpo. I feel like these tests get no darker!!

I have a 10 month old daughter & her family on both sides don’t like each other

She’s getting christened on the 20th … and my parents are divorced and both of them want to come. however , they don’t get along with each other. My daughter‘s father‘s side of the family doesn’t like my mom. I’m worried that the christening will be chaotic for me . My daughters fathers side of the family is trying to control the entire event and i feel like my voice isn’t being heard . planning events for her is stressful for me because i want both sides of the family to be involved and i don’t want anyone to feel left out but they both talk a lot about the other side , which leaves me in the middle . any advice ? Her 1st birthday is coming up in july and i honestly couldn’t even imagine what that’s going to look like .

Low progesterone

Does anyone have a natural ways they got their corpus luteum to produce more progesterone without needing supplements? I had two babies back to back and recently miscarried a third not surprisingly. Since my cycle came back after my second, my luteal phases have been 9-10 days, usually getting my period on 10dpo. This cycle I made it to 12dpo the first time in the 14 months since I had my son but got my progesterone tested at 10dpo and it was 2 💔 so even if I implanted between 9-12 dpo there would be no chance of sustaining a pregnancy. OB won’t supplement because we aren’t “trying.” We’re very much “whatever happens, happens,” but I clearly can’t sustain a pregnancy without help or even implant. I’ve never had this issue before, but having 2 15 months apart clearly messed me up. Are there any ways to extent my luteal phase by getting my ovaries to produce more progesterone without needing supplements? Can I buy supplements over the counter? Because they won’t give them to me.

Trying for baby#2 . No luck

My first is 2.5. Hubs and I have been trying for a year now (not EVERY month.. we have skipped a few). But im still not pregnant. I used the ovulation tracker and pee stick last few months and still nothing.. Im starting to get worried now esp. because my first pregnancy happened after just one try. It also doesn’t help that all my friends who wanted a second already have one and everyone keeps asking me when Im planning on having a second. Im feeling very anxious about this now.

Fertility Assistance!

Finally going to start Femara/letrozole early into my next cycle!! The doctor will do a mid cycle ultrasound and measure my follicle. If the correct size, I'll get a trigger shot to ovulate and then start on progesterone cream. If I fall pregnant, I'll be on the cream until 12 weeks along.

Im so excited, does anyone have experience with this?

Deportation

My boyfriend being deported is the worst thing ever, especially when we have our one year old and one on the way :( my biggest fear came true, I’m so hurt that I have to give birth alone :(

Is this baby not sticking? Help/advice

Hey guys, I have been taking tests for line progression. The top test was two nights ago and the very bottom is tonights. I got a positive clear blue digital this afternoon (1-2 weeks)but then my evening boots test seems a lot lighter? Can this sometimes happen or is there likely something wrong. I will say too the second bottom boots test was only taken this afternoon! Would hcg drop so much in a few hours or is my urine just not great tonight? I’m panicking so any help would be really appreciated 🥺😢

Grandparents helping out

How much do grandparents help out?
Or do they not offer at all?
Interested in working parents, do they help in reducing days baby/child needs to be in nursery? Kids school holidays etc?

Do people think the boomer generation have the wrong reputation in not wanting to help with grandkids?
