Community Posts, Tips & Support on Planning for a Baby

I’m posting incognito as I keep seeing all these women asking questions for support (as we should) and they get opinions opposed to help or assistance. For example, seeing parents asking about weaning advice prior to 6M. And the comments will be people slamming about how the LO isn’t 6M & should wait. Why commen...

Just had my 28 week bloods done and can already see some of the results on my NHS/patients know best app. Slightly concerned that one is out of range - white blood cell count. It seems rather high. Anyone know if this is normal? Or maybe a sign of something else? Worrying as always but assuming someone will contact ...

My period is due today, I have no signs of it coming and I feel like I am pregnant, however I have done a lot of tests including early detections but which are all negative. Could my HCG levels not be high enough yet to detect on a test yet?

Can anyone tell me why one test is saying positive and the other is saying negative? Am I too early for the digital one to pick it up? The other one is an early detection pregnancy test but I’m a bit confused. Will appreciate the help 🙏🏼

I took a pregnancy test yesterday and was positive, but today’s line doesn’t look any darker? My period should have arrived yesterday or day before

Am I seeing things?? This is the third test I’ve took since my missed period but first two were negative. Thought it would have been darker by now??

Had two lost pregnancies last year. Just took this test (2days late), is it a real line or evap?

Anyone willing to share their experiences regarding adopting a child when you already have bio kids? We personally don't know anyone who has made this kind of transition and we're currently discussing our options. Posting anonymous cause I know people irl on here and we have not gone public with this

I’ve put this in the premom app and it says High but to me it looks positive help?

I know we’re not supposed to open them. But i did, lol what do you think?

Am already surging but wanted to know if taking ovidrel can help before my IUI procedure tomorrow

Hey, I was just wondering on how many sessions of acupuncture u had through the cycle of ivf, what stages and where the acupuncture was done?

I'm so confused. I had a very faint line on a test on Sunday with a different brand, then negatives, now I've just taken these and I'm pretty sure I can see lines on all 3 within the 3 minutes, but on two other brands with the same urine sample, it's definitely negative. What's the chance of three tests today and a ...

Hey!! I’ve only just started redoing ovulation tests after getting upset for not ever having a high or a peak, this is the darkest I’ve ever had! What are we thinking?

I’m 8dpo today and did a test this morning which was obviously negative (I knew it was too early to test), I just had hoped that maybe I would see something but now wish I hadn’t and had waited. I have been having strange symptoms the last few days. What date did people test positive dpo wise?

8 dpo and I feel like my eyes are just playing tricks …cd 24 tho my period is due in 5 days …

I am aware that different hormones are picked up to detect pregnancy vs ovulation, but in my first pregnancy, the way I found out I was pregnant was by doing an ovulation test and it being very positive. Id never seen a peak ovulation test before, so testing for a few days and seeing positive made me do a pregnancy ...

for context i actually tested positive at mid 3 week mark on a digital 6 says before my period😅 my due date ive estimated from conception is 23rd

I had ovulation pains CD10-12, ewcm about CD7-12, had a negligible amount of it on CD13 also but no more pain. My bbt hasn’t risen properly yet but also my thermometer has given me several different readings yesterday and today morning, before getting up, talking etc. CM changed yesterday morning to sticky/creamy. I...

I started my period on Monday and it’s just about finished, I took a test this morning and it says positive but I’ve took a digital and another two strips and I’m so confused
