Lh tests can someone explain using them?

Struggling with my ovulation time lines. I've never used LH tests before and like some advice on how to use them, when to use them etc. I've been advised not to track my bbt as I take medication which alters the readings of it. I didn't use lh tests with my fb, we just got lucky.

Would appreciate some advice and helpful tips before I start using them.

If it’s your first cycle ever tracking, I’d recommend testing throughout the month starting the day your period ends. Just to see how your LH behaves, as some women have false surges etc. Once you see your tests darken, start testing twice a day. You don’t want to use your FMU for it, try to aim for 10am-6pm window. Obvs cm is a good indicator of your fertile window and despite all readings I would advise to try when you see ewcm. You can use an app like Premom to log your tests. In the future cycles you can stop testing when your LH drops back down and stays low and you see a cm change

Pressure raising a great son

Does anyone else feel alot pf pressure from everyone to be a great boy mom?

Intrigued to know people’s thoughts…

There’s no right or wrong answer here but I’m just curious what other people think..

Do you think if a friend or family member is child free, they should make the effort to go and see the friend or family member who has children?
Not every time because effort goes both ways in any relationship, but what do you think?

Potentially a sticky situation…

Hey! I’m 21 with a nearly 5m old little boy. Friday 7th me and my fiancé did the deed and I started ovulating on Saturday 9th (we both thought we’d be “safe” considering I had literally just finished my period. What are the chances of pregnancy? My partner says he isn’t sure if he’d be ready for another, which I totally understand but we’ve had 3 losses previously and I don’t think I could ever bring myself to have an ab*rtion for many reasons x

Please help

Does this mean negative

Feeling: sad

My Husband and I have had our final baby. We were the first on both of our families to have the first baby, so we bought all the things like moses baskets, next to me’s, bouncers etc. when we had no use for them anymore, there was always a family member/friend to pass them on to, knowing they were nearby and would come back to us when not needed by others. Our next to me has held 5 babies through their first months of life. Now we’ve just had our final baby, and he’s outgrown all the newborn things, and we find ourselves with no friends/family members to pass them on to. We made the decision to donate them all, as they’d already been donated around our close circle we don’t want to charge someone for them, and I find myself so emotional. This time I know they won’t come back to us, they’ll house another baby who we’ll never know. I’m really struggling with letting them go for sentimental reasons, although I know they’re better serving someone else than gathering dust in storage. To whoever gets them, I wish you and your baby the happiest, healthiest and most loving life possible ❤️
