How soon do you test for pregnancy?

Just a query really, my period is due today but flo says not to test until Thursday for reliable results.

I have tested today and negative so far but no period yet, just wondering if anyone has ever had the positive before a missed period or if I’m being too hasty.

Vasectomy

How long were your men out of commission after a vasectomy? Like how long til they helped with the kids, house, work, how long they stayed hidden away for, etc.

Disney stories are actually quite morbid

So I have a Disney book subscription and they send a mystery book each month, we received Bambi this month and I proof read before I read to my baby and I realised it’s quite shocking?? Like the idea of the mother being absent or dying, and I realised a LOT of Disney stories have a dead mother - Aladdin, Snow White, The little mermaid, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Finding Nemo and even more!
I’m actually quite disgusted I don’t want my child to be normalised to the idea of mothers leaving or dying so I will definitely be writing over the pages to change the stories to INCLUDE the mother!

(Maternal attachment is crucial for babies, providing a secure foundation that fosters healthy brain development, emotional regulation, and resilience)

Just wanted to point this out to other mums who also might think like me

Please read!

I saw a very faint line when I tested (my husband saw it too) but didn’t look like a proper line and I ignored it. Half an hour later it’s gotten darker. Is this an evap line? Photo is from 30 mins after taking the test.
