When to test

I’m 6 days late, have taken 4 tests in the last 4 days including an early one and all were negative. I’ve had light cramps on and off for around 4 days but no sign of period. I’ve never skipped a period in my life, my cycles are always identical (I had one 7 months ago that was a day early). I don’t understand and k...

Has anyone else had this happen

My surge usually goes down the next day, it's never this strong either! I'm just confused am I ovulating in 3 days or just one day? Should I be concerned?

But I notice it is mostly black kids that needs adopting. Why is there so much black kids put up for adoption? it is very heartbreaking. I am black living in the UK and…

Positive after 3 minutes but before 10 minutes

I got 3 faint lines after 3 minutes around 5-6 minutes today. I took the First Response Early Result. I googled it and it says read before 10 minutes. I’m confused I thought you had to read it at 3 minutes. Could this be positive?

Having your ex there whilst you’re giving birth

Can I ask how those of you not together at the birth came to the decision to either have or not have the dad there with you? I’m due my 3rd little one end of June and I’m torn between not feeling wholly comfortable having him there but feeling like a bit of a monster for taking that away from him. This is his second...

Positive then negative test

Five days before my period was due I took a pregnancy test. It said to check between 3 and 10 minutes I checked and it looked negative so I walked away from it. Then a couple hours later I looked at it again and it looked like there was a faint line but I’m wondering if it was just an evaporation line. The next morn...

Evaporation or faint positive?

I’m sure this is just an evaporation like because I did look at it after the time window. But, could it possibly be a faint positive?

Sooo fed up of TTC

I am so fed up of TTC now, cycle 13 trying for our first. All results have come back normal, we’re having sex at all the right times, we’re 28 + 29 so still relatively young I just don’t understand why it’s not happening. I’m drinking so much pomegranate juice, eating so many bloody pineapple cores, and taking a mi...

Low-rising HCG levels at 7 weeks

Has anyone else experienced low or dropping of HCG levels? I'm under the care of EPU for bleeding but my line never became as dark as the test line and I find it quite concerning.

Faint positive or evap? Do y’all see it?!

Am I seeing things? Looks like a faint blue line to me. And I saw it after test was done (which is 2 mins). BUT when I put a light under it I didn’t see as good.
