What do you tell your child when your parents aren't around?

My dad died when I was young and my mum and my stepdad badly abused me. I left the county at 17 and have only seen my mum once since. She didn't even try and meet up with my after I left. I had therapy in my 20s and I'm very happy in myself now with a good life but my 3 year old has started asking questions.

TTC

Finding ‘life’ tricky with TTC in terms of time when we are both so tired with work and our first (3 years). I’m on day 10 of my cycle, we haven’t had sex since before my period and my fertile window is opening which I’m going to try and have us be active for, but is anyone else struggling with the same? Also, is it ok to really only give it a go during this time and not like straight after my period?

Negative right?

I’m 11dpo I’m pretty sure this is negative. Guess I’m out this cycle. Feel like I’m going crazy.

Is it multiples?

Tested faint positive 8dpo because I was feeling symptoms - strong sense of smell, some light nausea. 3 days later and the symptoms and test line are strong, still 3 days before missed period. Could it be multiples?

Digital tests!!

I took a weeks indicator test and it came back positive 1-2 weeks, I took an ultra early test (red light one) with the same urine sample at the same time and it came back not pregnant?

Was the week’s one wrong? I’ll retest in the morning but my fiancé and I were so exited and now that’s just been completed sucked out 😭
