Freaking out!

Okay, so I should be 4+5 pregnant today. I had a blood test on Wednesday which was 640. I also took a digital test on Thursday which showed 2-3. I decided to take a test this afternoon (midday) and the line just doesn’t seem that dark! Should I be worried?

Help me please

This doesn't seem right? Why is the line so light? Am I supposed to look at the strips when I eject them from the device? Or is it like a digital pregnancy test would be where I'm not supposed to look at anything?

3rd baby?

I'm in a weird situation. I got my tubes tied after my last pregnancy, because I had moderate HG. I currently have two little girls, and I'm absolutely in love with them. I love being a stay at home mom, but for the last two months, I've been wanting to have a boy. I kept pushing the thought away, because I'm ster...

Do you ever really feel done with having babies?

I’m a mum of two and ever since my second was born (she’s 7 months) I just don’t feel done.

Do people really eve...

Cycle buddies

Hello 🌸 Anyone waiting for AF to start stims? Mine was supposed to be due around the 20th but I had an aqua scan a couple of weeks ago which showed that I ovulated early so I’m expecting my period any day now. First IVF - we’re hoping for a fresh cycle if all goes well. Would be nice to connect.

Tests getting lighter

So I’ve been testing since I found out I’m pregnant and today I’m 7 weeks. I feel my tests are getting lighter… should I be worried. The bottom one I just did now and the one above it was a dye stealer so I’m very worried now. I’ve also had a 3+ on clear blue… should I get another to see if it’s changed
