Pregnancy test

I took a test yesterday morning (supermarket own brand) and there was a faint line and a test this morning (clear blue non digital) and it was negative. Has anyone experienced this? I’m currently 2 days late according to flo but still within my ‘normal range’ until tomorrow

13DPO

Am I crazy or is this positive? I had big fat negatives for the last 3 days!

But also been feeling pregnant too

10dpo

Can this even be possible? I thought I had a slightly faint line this morning on a boots brand test. These are ultra early tests taken with different urine one is positive and one I can’t even see a faint line on?

Positive pregnancy

I’m 4 weeks and 6 days according to my last period, this is an early detection test but I am about 3 days after my period, this strong line is it normal for this time of month or could it be twins?

Am I going crazy or do we see a line?

Im around 9 or 10dpo, have the worst cramps and bloating the last 2 days which have subsided today. Just taken this test at 5pm tonight. Period due anytime between tomorrow and Sunday (25-28D cycles).

Thanks ladies xx

Negative tests

I guess I’m just being hopeful

I ovulated on the 18th July - my period is due 31st July my cycles usually 30/31 days - - > I did a ultra sensitive cheap pregnancy test now (4pm ish I know I should of waited) but I take it … it’s highly highly unlikely I’m pregnant as it was negative … :( or has anyone had false negatives this close to your period due date ?

Very early positive???

Please help!! Can’t tell if I’m seeing things..

8/9 DPO.. could it be?

Unsure on ovulation date, either late on the 20th or early 21st. 2 years trying to conceive baby no 2, and had an early MC in April. Really wasn’t expecting anything this month.

However I can see the start of a line, can others see it? (Photo quality isn’t the best)

Testing

I am 7 weeks 5 days & randomly decided to do a test today. I saw baby & heartbeat at 6 weeks and stopped testing then. The test I did was a dip stick one. The test line was really light!? I am of course now in a panic. Should never have done the test, but anyone else done this before and everything turned out to be fine?x

2 under 3..

Is it really hard? I need words of encouragement, me and my husband have decided to start trying in October, our daughter will be 18 months which means we could potentially have just over a year age gap. (It may of course take longer to conceive)

Positive stories please? Incognito as I don’t want friends and family to see and know we’re going to start trying

Advice

I ovulated on the 14 of July. I had a faint positive pregnancy test on the 25th. Now pregnancy tests are negative and I had small bleed when I went to the toilet but nothing since. I’m due on today and Always a day early and when I start my period it’s heavy and doesn’t stop and start

Im curious

So I just watched a video of kids being reunited with their dad after several months apart due to being in the army. 😭 it's so heartbreaking.

And I have a genuine curiosity....

I've never understood why any one would want to join the army voluntarily.

I also don't understand how they can stay when they have kids.

Also the wives, how do they manage all the emotions and emptyness that comes with it.

I honestly think if a partner ever wanted to join the army I would have to leave him. I would never want to go through that or put my kids through that.

I had 2 school friends who joined. 1 left because he didn't like it. The other seems to be in a mentally dark space now.

But guestion:

Why do you think so many join the army????

Premom ovulation test no peak

Going by the strips, does it look like I had my peak but it didn’t show on the app? When would you suggest i ovulated? Premom says 26 but that’s super low and Flo suggests 24th!

Trying for Baby No 2

We have an 18m old with our last 2 frozen embryos in storage and think we have decided to try again.

We were a long time TTC and our first baby was via our 3rd transfer so I was trying lots of different things, acupuncture, no caffeine/alcohol/perfume, eco friendly brands, drinking bone broth etc!

Our doctor has suggested the same meds which is natural cycle plus progesterone, but with a toddler on the run I don’t know if I’ve got the headspace or energy to do all the “extra stuff” and if any of that helped anyway?

I feel more relaxed this time but also want to give it the best shot so feel like I need to prepare.

Anyone else been in a similar position?

Pregnancy

Did you know you were pregnant before positive test and if so what made you think you were

Hypothetically...baby one conceived naturally, would you go through IVF for number 2 ???

1st baby took 9 months to conceive but we've been trying for number 2 for a few months. Know it can take up to a year. Just wondered if anyone would put their body's through IVF to have a 2nd baby, plus the thousands of £££ of cost as NHS wouldn't cover
