BBT and ovulation tracking

Hi, I’m quite new to tracking and was wondering do I have to test twice a day with ovulation tests ? And with bbt am I just doing it first time waking up ?

no to the ovulation tests, you don't necessarily have to but if you're someone who can feel a slight pinch when you release an egg then no, if you can't then yes.

BBT, only track first thing when you wake up, before you get up and do anything. If you're using an oral thermometer it's best to keep it right by you and if you're using a wearable device (most accurate) you just activate it and wear it at night.

Any one scared to take a test?

My cycle feels different this time round. But I'm just scared to test in case I get a negative. I'm normally okay with it all, but this month I just can't face my period coming or a negative test

Hot take

If you wouldn't be able to adopt a baby you shouldn't make a baby

Thoughts?

This is definitely negative right? Right….?

Anyone else have a “lower” hcg number?

Due to some faint (but progressing) tests, cramping and dizziness I was referred to EPU to get some bloods taken. My first draw came back at 56 for 4 weeks and 2 days. The nurse called me and referred to this as “low” so naturally I’m panicking 🫣.

Has anyone else had any bloods taken and received a similar number? I’ve my second round today and I’m praying they’ve doubled 🙏🏻.

TIA 💕

Did/will any mamas here choose NOT to allow visitors to hold their newborn baby?

I don't know what it is but I really don't want to pass my baby around like a parcel this time around (second baby). I didn't mind it so much last time because it was all new to me, but something in me has changed. Maybe it's because I feel resentment toward both mine and my husband's family as they're so selfish and haven't given us any support yet expect us to hand over our baby like they are some sort of accessory. Wondering if we could try and avoid people holding her - has anyone tried similar?
