Low PAPP-A

I was diagnosed with low Papp-A at 12 weeks but the other results for Downs syndrome, patau and Edwards syndrome came out low chance. I’ve been prescribed low dose aspirin. Didn’t experience any of this with my first so I’m a little bit worried on what to expect and need some reassurance that it’s all going to be o...

Has anyone else had this? I either had a false positive or it’s a chemical.

Is this just me?

I have such a good gut feeling about this cycle. It's 3 days past out second iui. The doctor is confident, my husband's count and mobility is great, us and our family is all praying for it. Before I had hope, but this cycle feels different. Like I know this is God's plan, that we'll be holding our baby by the end of...

First time using ovulation tests - is this right?

My test is really dark but still says low, I think it looks like peak and I think I’m ovulating today based on CM and ovulation pain. Are the apps not that good or am I blind and it’s actually not peak.

How does it make you feel?

Trying to express concerns and get advice from peers or other women or parents to revive a response of “just wait till… they are here, till they find their voice, till they are walking, till they are a teen”

When did I ovulate?

So I had a miscarriage 4th March and was tracking ovulation after bleeding stopped but never seemed to get a positive.. I found out I was pregnant (before period) 6th April. Did I ovulate around 21st March? As that is the highest test I got (even though doesn't look like a positive)

First “positive” post MMC

Can I just confirm I’m not having line eyes and the clear blue is positive. My partner and I were both fully convinced last night we can see lines in both test. Not sure my period until Sunday. 1 year post miscarriage and just started our journey towards IVF, so if this is positive it’s amazing!
