Test strips help!

I’m supposed to be 7 weeks 3 days and barely any symptoms. I have my first appt on 1/29. Last week I took pregnancy test just to ease my anxiety and lines were dark. I took another today and line was lighter. Is that something to be concerned about? Anyone experience this before?

Don’t stress on that! Esp with those… when u see ur dr ask for NIPT blood test. That will help ease your mind. Stay confident and hopeful 🩷

thank you! Of course I googled lol so thinking the worst but also realized the lighter one I took at night and last week I think was daytime not sure if that means anything too

A lot of factors affect test strips. How long you held your urine, how much water you had, when you take the test. That’s not automatically a bad sign and neither is little to no symptoms. Monday will be here before you know it and you are still pregnant right now. My sister never had symptoms til 8 weeks with her 3 kids. Mine have been hit or miss but overall I haven’t had much in symptoms at 6+4 now.

thanks for telling me this! This appt can’t come soon enough. Of course I took another pregnancy test early morning and it was lighter again than last week so inside I’m nervous!

Try not to stress too much but I totally understand it! Try to not test til you see them. Tell them your worries though and see if they’ll be able to do HCG levels or a scan sooner to put your mind at ease.

Third baby.

What made you decide to just go for it?
How was the change from two to three?

I definitely want a third, but I don’t feel ready. BUT, saying that I don’t think anyone ever feels ready do they, there’s never going to be a perfect time.

Is this a postive or a evap line?
I’m 2 days late

Is this a dodgy test?

First response testing 4/5 days before my period is due! This one is even more sensitive for me because we lost a baby at 26 weeks in January! Do you think the test line looks like it might be inaccurate? Maybe I’m just in disbelief?

well confused 🩵

Anyone help i’m 3 days late on period had a faint postive on a poundland test but clear blue digital and blue dye one saying negative i’m really confused 🩵😭

Am I pregnant?

I’m 18 days late from my missed period, I did a test 2 weeks ago and it was negative. I’ve just done one tonight (cheap one) & took it late in the evening & there is the faintest line. Does this look like a positive test for someone that is nearly 3 weeks late!?

The hardest part about having no village

We hear moms talk all the time about not having a village and how parenting is just awful without having support. But I think the worse part about not having a village is watching my kid have no friends. I remember growing up and having cousins to play with, and my parents friends kids. There were always people around. But my kid, he has no one. I had kids late in life so the friends I had when I was pregnant all had kids much older than mine. My brothers kids are much older than mine. Now, those same friends dont talk to me anymore. Even if they did, their older kids probably wouldn't want to play with mine. Its hard watching my child be so desperate for friends that he latches onto whatever kid at the park he can find. He instantly calls them his friend, even if they are being mean to him. His "friends" are his stuffed animals. Thats who he has to play with. I've tried making mom friends with moms who have kids the same age, and it never works out. I've talked to moms at the park, even exchanged numbers and nothing. I dont really care that i have no friends. But my heart hurts for my son. We even had another baby just so he would have one constant kid to play with. But it took us longer than we wanted to get pregnant, and his brother is still a baby so hes not much fun yet. He's in school now, so I thought maybe he would make friends there, but when I try to talk to moms of his classmates to maybe set up playdates, I dont get anywhere there either. I dont know what I wanted to come from this post, just sharing my thoughts I guess. Maybe other moms can relate.
