I would take one 14-21 days after conception date if you have a rough idea, I always do them around that time

yeah that makes sense it’s 15 days now so I’ll do a test in the next few days .i didn’t want to take it too early x

Sorry about your loss. Have you tested your hCG out? If so, your mc day would be cd1 until you get a dating scan. If not, the ovulation test might not be true as having hCG in your system would make it positive or skewed at least. I’d advise to take one just to make sure there’s none left. I tested positive up until a few days before my first period came after mmc. If you test positive for hCG and lines get darker, you will know it’s a new pregnancy.

I had hCG tested twice but that was in December. I tested a week later and pregnancy test was negative. Yeah after I done the ovulation test I looked it up online and found out if might not be accurate 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m
Wishing we had now waited till after my period so confusing x

I understand. Well you never know, you could’ve struck luck ! If you did indeed, an hcg test would show positive about 2 weeks after you thought you were ovulating :) not long left, best of luck ! 🤞🏼

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.

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?

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.
