Clear & Simple strip tests uk

These are 13-18dpo and using clear and simple cheap tests. They seem really faint to me but I know clear and simple are 20mIU/ml so I’m wondering if anyone else has seen slow progression with these cheap tests?

I’ve had one successful pregnancy and one miscarriage, both I had no sickness so wondering if I have low hcg anyway… I’ve ordered some FRERs.

Any thoughts on clear & simple strip tests?

(13 dpo was a lot lighter at testing and 14 dpo a lot darker at testing they just dried differently, I can see progression in real life and at the point of testing they’re just not as dark as I would have imagined by now…)

You could ask for bloods at your local EPU? Or try a different brand? I did find these didn’t progress as I’d like and I’m 29 weeks now x

Heyy, how are you doing now?xx

I’ve stopped testing after these to stop stressing out and haven’t had a scan or anything yet. I’m about 6 weeks now so will book a scan for when I’m about 8. Got symptoms like nausea, fatigue etc so for now just trying not to hyper fixate on everything 🫠

I didn’t get barely any sickness with my successful pregnancy and this time round the nausea is stronger so just hoping that’s a good sign and trying not to think about it!

Hope your doing well, I imagine you’re in a similar boat to me if your asking, it’s so hard when you just have to wait and see and you just want more “data” to go off!

I’m glad I stopped testing though it wasn’t helping and I feel better mentally about it now.

Had my 8 weeks scan today and everything is looking good 😊

Amazing, congratulations 🥰

Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Am I pregnant?

Hi everyone 🤗 I got a really faint line yesterday at 10 dpo and this morning I tested at 11 dpo and I can't see a line 😭 is there still a chance I could be pregnant ?🙏 and my HCG is fluctuating because it's so early? This test was from yesterday

Pregnancy test

I took this pregnancy test and then a few days later I looked at it again and noticed a very faint line but then I took 3 more on different days and they all came out negative. What’s going on? I’m tripping out because I see it but my husband says he doesn’t.

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been

Compression Socks

Hey, for how long did everyone keep their compression socks on? I am also on blood thinning injections for 6weeks. Many thanks
