Pregnancy tests. Darkness

How dark is a pregnancy test at 4 weeks pregnant. If it's too dark does that mean there is a problem?

Timing your pregnancies after 30

So I started late and didn’t have my first till I was 32. I turn 33 in a couple days. My husband and I want two more, but I initially wanted to wait till our first one is potty-trained (she’s 1) before having another. But I can’t stop this nagging feeling that we should just go for it now due to the fact that I’m gonna keep aging anyway, and if we wanna meet that goal of 3 kids i don’t want to make it harder on my body than it already will be. We didn’t have any trouble getting pregnant the first time. Does anyone have experience as far as having this many kids a bit older? How hard is the transition from 1 to 2 to 3 kids? Thanks!

Potentially a sticky situation…

Hey! I’m 21 with a nearly 5m old little boy. Friday 7th me and my fiancé did the deed and I started ovulating on Saturday 9th (we both thought we’d be “safe” considering I had literally just finished my period. What are the chances of pregnancy? My partner says he isn’t sure if he’d be ready for another, which I totally understand but we’ve had 3 losses previously and I don’t think I could ever bring myself to have an ab*rtion for many reasons x

what do you prefer

would you rather 1) being at someone else's home, with nowhere else to go, but feeling like no one wants you or your kid(s) there or 2) having people you definitely don't like nor want around your kids, as guests in your home?

Do you know the difference between IUI and IVF?

I recently came to find out that my own mother and my elder stepdaughter both thought I went through IVF, even though throughout the IUI process I talked about the mechanics of it and how it differs from IVF. I also mentioned several times that my husband and I decided that if we did multiple IUIs without conceiving, we wouldn’t pursue IVF.

I also didn’t have to do the intense prep or egg retrieval, which both would’ve been noticeable and I would’ve talked about it during the process.

I wonder if they just have terrible memories and even though they did know the difference at the time, they have since formed false memories based on the more widely known procedure.
