Pregnant??

17dpo today. I have a palfullt long cycle and only ovulated on day 23-24. Based on my lh peak. My period is five days late. Had my hcg bloods done which were 57 on Wednesday.

Photo was taken within the testing window

Is this too light?

11 and 12 days post 5 day fresh transfer. There is slight progression. I'll do a digital tomorrow

Hi girls! Just want people’s honest opinion

So I caught pregnant 6th May’, sadly I miscarried at 9 weeks, I’ve done a test this morning and I can see that it’s positive but I really don’t want to get my hopes up.

secondary infertility

I’m wondering if anyone has experienced secondary infertility.
We have a daughter who is now 4 years old. When she was 2, we started trying for a second baby so we could complete our family before I focused on my degree.
We’ve been trying for 2 years now without success. I’ve used ovulation apps, tracked my cycle, monitored ovulation, and tried everything I can think of to conceive, but nothing has happened.
I’m feeling stressed and scared that I might not be able to have any more children. We’re a big family, and it makes me sad for my daughter. Sometimes she says, “Mummy, can I have a sister?” and it honestly breaks my heart.
I’m sharing this in case anyone else is going through something similar. ❤️❤️

icp

anybody else dealing with an ICP diagnosis and impending induction date? had never heard of it until my ob had me tested. now i get to meet our little one 3 weeks early. i wanna hear if someone else has had this experience and for the love of god, how do i get the itching to stop🫶🏻

Little rant

Just found out I’m pregnant, I have a two year old son and second my son will be 1 in next month

I’m little older so trying to have as many as I can in this little time

I told my family they didn’t seem as happy, I know it will be super hard but if I’m happy shouldn’t they be too?

Pos or neg

Just started to try for baby number two I got lucky the first time!

Is this still negative it’s the darkest test I’ve had this far

Hi ladies I need help here!

So I’m currently TTC, and I took a pregnancy test and it come up with a faint second line, I then panicked and took another 15 mins after drinking a bottle of water which resulted in another faint second line

I then took another one an hour after and now this is even fainter pointing more to negative can yous help me ? It won’t let me upload 3 pictures here so I’ll post in comments

Anyone else about 6 weeks?

Just found out on Monday and faint lines on the tests aswell as 1-2 weeks on the digital… nervous as the line don’t seem to be getting darker?😭 anyone else have the same? Last period was 7th August but I don’t ovulate till really late on in my cycle so I think I’ve just caught it really early?

Faint positive?

I’m on cycle day 25 but my cycles are normally 15 days so I’m 9 days late on my period.. maybe too early to be testing🙃

Digital tests

I’m 4+4 today, and still getting 1-2 weeks from conception on clear blue. Really was hoping I’d get a 2-3 by now, I’ve had 3 early losses in the last two years, currently on progesterone, aspirin & clexane. Feeling so anxious. When did everyone else get 2-3 on a digital? X

Toddler and a new born

I'm on maternity leave.

Just had a new baby.
My daughter is 2.8 years old and I'm considering taking her out of nursery, but wonder if I can manage.

But surely I can, so many people look at 2 kids at one time.

Please share your experience looking after a new born and toddler.

Nursery fees are sooo much, so I'm thinking for financial reasons too take her out. But is it worth it?

This is negative, right?

So I just took this pregnancy test, and I’m looking for a second opinion.
This test looks negative to me.

Line eyes?

I’ve taken multiple easy at homes since yesterday afternoon and all seem to have a faint line. I would say maybe a bad batch however I took an easy at home in the Wednesday when I was 7dpo and it was stark negative so feeling very confused.

10 dpo

Has anyone had a negative at this point and still been pregnant?

put in the comments my cycle

Ttc

I had a chemical pregnancy back in april (not trying). Me and my husband have been trying since july. I got pregnant so easily with my first. This time.. it's been hard. I've gotten false faint positives. Every cycle that ends with my period coming.. every post I see where someone else has gotten pregnant again.. it just kills me a little more inside. I can't help but wonder if the one I lost in april was my last chance.
