Advice

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.

Testing suggestions

Back again after yet another loss 🥺. I’m at the point where I’m just so frustrated and constantly feeling let down. This is our 3rd year TTC and our 4th loss. I’ve had the standard testing done (thyroid, lupus and diabetes), as well as some genetic testing and the only flag has been thyroid which has been stable…

Help?? 😩

Took an easy@home yesterday and got the faintest of lines so have taken another this morning and I think it’s more clear but still not sure? This came up within 2 minutes of taking the test. I’ve never had a positive so I don’t know if I’m imagining things or whether this is normal?

Light positive or evap line

Trying for my second I really can’t tell if this is a very faint positive or evaporation line. I had my LH surge on the 9th so surly if I was pregnant it would be bright pink by now? Feel like I have line eyes
