Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

It would probably be worth getting a digital test cause I think they’re more reliable. I don’t think you would still be testing positive from your pregnancy

Hcg hormones at still high 3-6 weeks after having baby. Maybe wait another week and try testing again. If you havent had sex I highly doubt its a correct positive

If you haven't had sex then you can't be pregnant so try not to stress about that. You could ask a HV if they know anything about residual HCG?

Also in my experience, hair doesnt fall out this early

If you haven’t had sex then surely you can’t be pregnant

Petition to use emergency text alerts for missing children

We already have the system in place, a petition has been started to see if we can use the emergency text alerts for missing children. Imagine if you could immediately have millions of eyes out and ready looking for your child if god forbid they go missing.

If you agree please sign and share. If you disagree that’s fine too but please keep it pleasant.

IUD request

I need advice. I placed a Copper IUD in my home country as I was flying there for a gyno check up after giving birth. But I’ve had 4 menstrual cycles with it, and I’m bleeding like a river. Where do I call or request to take my IUD out and replace with the marine hormonal one?

Positive?

Would you say this is positive? ChatGPT seems to think it is but I can’t tell

Anyone at the Wolfson Fertility Center?

What has your experience been there? Did you find that as a private patient you were treated like an NHS patient?

IVF prep

Hello. Looking for any advice on what people have found works, to prep for collection and transfer? Whilst trying naturally I’ve been taking supplements and trying to prioritise fertility foods, I’ve been off caffeine and alcohol for over 6 months.. but nothing seemed to help. Wasn’t sure if there was ivf specific prep people swear by! Thanks
