My tests are getting lighter

I just have those crappy pregmate tests and I got a faint on Saturday 1/6/24 so I tested with a digital and it came back positive but all the rest of the pregmate test I’ve been taking since are soo light and faint. They are getting darker. Should I be worried

I wouldn't be worried if there isn't any bleeding. I was going through the same thing, however, I now have bleeding that's red. I believe I had a chemical pregnancy as I had a positive test January 3, and now a very faint line and bleeding. I'm getting checked today hoping for the best.

keep me updated

will do. I had blood work done today to check my levels, but it's almost 100% certain I have had a chemical pregnancy. 😔 I wish you all the luck and hope for the best for you!

got my blood results - it was a chemical pregnancy. The HCG hormone was a negative result for being pregnant.

ugh I’m so sorry to hear that Janelle! I got blood work done today so I will what’s going on hopefully tomorrow

my levels came back and I’m also having a chemical pregnancy and starting bleeding last night

awe I'm so sorry 😞 no loss is too small and it's ok to grieve. The Dr cleared me to try again once I'm done bleeding as this is considered a late period. So I'm hoping in the next few months for a successful pregnancy. I wish you all the best as well! Take some time to heal and try again when you're ready ❤️

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
