Is anyone here using maca root/myo inositol? Does anyone know if you’re supposed to stop taking them when you get positive ovulation test please?

I never stopped, took it during ovulation, period etc. Every day, I took it until I was pregnant. Hope this helps x

thank you so much! If you don’t mind me asking, how long after taking it did you fall pregnant? X

The first time, I fell pregnant after 6 years TTC my first cycle on inositol, but unfortunately, we lost that baby. Then we fell pregnant again 5 months later, and our rainbow baby is now 3 months old 🥰🌈

Oh wow, if you don’t mind me asking did you get any medical help in the 6 years? And I’m so sorry to hear about your loss ❤️ it really is a miracle, I hope your hearts are full I can imagine how much of a blessing this baby will be 🥺

I foolishly didn't, I wish I did alot sooner and it was until 4 months after our miscarriage that i went to the doctors for help, they were starting all the tests and were blood tracking my ovulation the month I fell pregnant with Ava 🥰

sorry to butt in.. just wondering what brand of Maca and Inositol do you take? and where can i get it from? 🥰

that’s amazing, thank you! what about the Maca? there’s so many brands, i don’t know which one to go for 😭 xxx

I took maca root last month and it messed up my cycle 😢 but everyone’s different I guess!! If your cycle is regular then I would avoid maca xx

Didn't help. Messed up my cycle.

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.

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.

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.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️
