I got a positive at 3w 4d

What’s the reasons for having another baby ? Curious to know, I have a three old baby and it’s so much work …. Also it sounds bad but I miss my old life and the fact that I cannot travel at the moment! Nope it’s different to travel without a baby. I want to wait 3,5 years for another baby.

Hi there, we had our little boy in June 2023 after a miscarriage before that, and have been trying for 5/6 months now. Really starting to stress now although I know it hasn't been that long, but I'm about to turn 36 so unsure how long to wait before speaking to doctor / fertility consultant? Anyone else TTC at simil...

I’m around 7+3, I last did a test on Thursday last week and had a ‘dye stealer’ (test in top of photo). I then did one this evening after being away for the long weekend and the line is so much lighter. I did do the test about 8pm so later than usual but would this cause that much of a difference? I have an early sc...

Ok. So, I know this isn’t a TTC question. But I thought this might be the best place to get advice. I spent over three years not having intercourse. April 15th, I had intercourse. We used a condom the ENTIRE time. My cycle was due the 17th. I haven’t been late in well over a year. I am now 4 days late with zero sign...

Does anyone have experience with at home hcg tests like these?? I’m due for my period tomorrow but tested due to noticing some changes and being impatient 😂 are these accurate? Took the test mid afternoon with no expectations. Last month it was a negative and then got my period

If you have had your tubes tied, what was your experience with the recovery time? My procedure is coming up in two weeks!😁

Anyone else in the same boat and getting impatient? 😄

Hello. I’m 37 weeks and just tried colostrum collection for the first time. I didn’t get anything after trying for a little while. Has anyone else had any success from keep trying? How did you find it? Thanks

Okay so I am 4 days late for my period when is a good time to start taking pregnancy tests ??? The one I took this morning was negative along with the other ones as well.

I'm really confused right now as 3 days ago I took a clear blue pregnancy test which showed a faint positive, as the day went on it was more clearer so I took another one the next day and that was a lot clearer positive, I was only a day late by this point. Today I have taken one of those clear blue digital tests wh...

Came up within 1 min on my third wee of the day, is this real? Has anyone had a false positive on a Sainsbury’s own test? I’m somewhere between 10-13dpo I think with PCOS

Not sure if this could be a really faint positive or I've read about evaporation lines? Im going to see if I can get a digital but just wondering on other people's opinions. (Might need your brightness up) I'll put more pictures in the comments

Help I dunno if I’m imagining and seeing things😂 I’ve asked my best friend and she thinks she can too😂 Was due on Saturday but my Flo app has officially said today is the first day of my missed period. Worried about the faintness, had a couple of losses last year so will definitely retest later in the week ☺️

Had my CD11 scan today (my clinic doesn’t seem to scan before 9 or 10 days of stims) and while I have a couple of large follicles a lot are smaller or around the 12-13mm mark (I have 18 follicles in total). We’ve been told to trigger tonight for retrieval on Wednesday, and do another Gonal F shot with the Cetrotide...

Little ones first injections tomorrow, anything I can do to make it easier for him before/after. Thank you :)

We had been playing with the idea of 3rd child (despite our 2nd only being 4 months old 😅😂) but key person in our village (grandma that leaves nearby) has now had a heart attack. She did the nursery run since i was in 3rd trimester and took toddler home 2-3 hours every weekend morning and holds baby for naps and…

So the picture isn’t great as the closer I got the worse it looked. But with my fmu I tested & didn’t think the test had worked as the dye hadn’t ran so I just left it on the side. Came back & there were 2 lines. Tested again & it’s definitely negative as you can see. Am I out and was I just seeing evap lines?! But...

Do you think this test is positive?

Looking for some advice, I had my 2nd baby on 4th March via c section. I bled properly for 3 weeks, then I've been spotting once a day since. Have the odd day where I don't spot. No period yet. Although I just got the faintest line on a test. Should I be concerned that I'm still spotting or just retest in a few days...
