My friend is about to start IVF treatment and I wanted to send a card..

Just something to say here to you/ hope it happens for you/ even just draw a big love heart and sign with a kiss.

Anyone have any advice on what to write?

Noblepaperie has some great cards for unusual things like this. Love her work too

“Hope your dreams for growing a happy healthy family come true” or “sending you baby dust” (something the IVF community says a lot to each other for well wishes)
Or just let her know you’re along the way to support her. IVF can be a lengthy process and can be heartbreaking/disappointing but also dreams do come true

When I was going through IVF I found the most helpful messages didn’t focus on the outcome - sometimes just telling them that you love them and are thinking of them, letting them know they can call on you if they need anything is enough. It’s a lovely thing to acknowledge her experience with a card - sometimes people don’t know what to say so they don’t say anything so she will appreciate the gesture either way xx

I would basically say good luck and that you’ll be there for her if she need some support. It’s a hard journey and something that really needs extra support throughout it

That’s a lovely thought. All I needed to hear was ‘I’m right by your side’ x

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 🤷‍♀️
