Guesses?

I’m feeling so sick, exhausted and sore. Been told I have a cyst on my ovary the size of a tennis ball, so emotions are all over the place. Would love to have something to cheer me up. We had a scan a few days ago and would to know what you amazing people think it could be?

Asians and Indians and infertility

This is by no means meant to be about xenophobia, but I’m genuinely curious if there’s a scientific explanation. I notice when I’ve been going to my fertility clinic for routine appts as well as all my IVF monitoring, the waiting room is always filled with Asian and Indian couples and I’ve only seen a handful of C...

Ovulation help

Good morning. How many days should my ovulation test read as ‘positive’? I had a strong line equivalent to the control line yesterday and today it is a bit weaker. It’s still strong but not reading as ‘positive’. Thank you in advance!

Has anyone ever seen a test look like this?

Positive or evap line?

Hi all, my period isn’t due for 5/6 days but took this ClearBlue early test and got this result yesterday? But it didn’t come up initially, only when I checked later on so thinking it’s probably an evaporation line?

Implantation?

So my ovulation strips were darkest on 30th May, only as dark as the control line not darker. Yesterday I had stabbing pains in lower left back but ovulation test is so faint today its barely there. Hcg still negative but could this have been the start of implantation? Anyone had anything similar?

Vvvf? Why is it curved?
