I am pregnant with baby number 2 and just have a question about testing. All I’m getting come up on my TikTok now are videos about pregnancy and tests (to be expected as my algorithm has obviously changed!) however in these videos people are testing daily, making sure the line gets darker, making sure they’re still ...

Hi, Can anyone explain ovulation strips. I haven’t really used them before - yesterday the two lines were equally dark and today one is lighter. Does this mean I ovulated yesterday? Or not? Any help much appreciated.

3 days until period is due, and I haven’t used first morning urine (it was about 5:45pm this evening!). What do you think? First test is a sensitive 10 mIU/HCG and 2nd is a rapid response 25 mIU/HCG

Iv had a digital pregnancy test and it says not pregnant, is the test still valid if I open it as there was 2 lines on the inside?

Period due today so I decided to test. I feel like I see something faint and with a lil color but wouldn’t it be darker by now if my AF is due today?

It was darker yesterday (one in middle) but when I tested this morning, it was a lighter line.... is my body getting ready to ovulate and then just doesn't, and my LH is going back down?

I have 2 boys already I’m a single mom too who are 5 and 1 will be 6 and 2 May and April the youngest who will be going for Gtube surgery soon and I have lots of weekly appts. It’s a lot for me I mean I do work from home but I’m nervous. But I’ve been with someone for about a year but we never really made it officia...

So my period is 17 days late today, I took a pregnancy test when I was 9 days late and it said negative. My period is usually a couple days late due to me having irregular periods, but never really went over 10 days. I’m not sure if I should take another test or just keep waiting a little longer. Anyone experienced ...

Hi We have been ttc second baby for about 8 months and I have been using clear blue advanced ovulation tests for that time. I started testing yesterday for this month and got a peak smiley straight away, which is unusual for me I usually get 4/5 days of flashing first. Thought it was strange. Today I’ve had some pi...

What to expect from my sweep tomorrow? I am 39 + 5 have my first EVER sweep tomorrow? Can anyone who has had one give me an insight of what to expect during or/and after?

Please give me your positive stories!!! I have just found out my baby is a positive blood type and I’m negative so will need to have the anti D. I’m slightly freaking out as I googled stuff and clearly shouldn’t have🤦🏼‍♀️ My daughter was negative so never really looked into in my last pregnancy.. please tell me…

Is it safe to assume I’ve either missed my peak or I’m not ovulating this month? Ty x

Period was due yesterday, these were taken over the past few days. Digital one this morning. Any idea? Thanks!

To think the last time I was holding a test I had such hope and my heart was so full. Now it feels shattered and broken.

Any other women out there absolutely TERRIFIED of getting an IUD? I do hear it’s one of the most popular birth controls and I have been recommended to it from a physician before. But ever since I became sexually active and to this day it’s a HELL NO for me. It seems so incredibly invasive and I just don’t like the t...

I currently have an IUD in and it’s supposed to come out January of 2026. I want to try and NOT have a fall/winter baby, because I’m December, my husband is December and my son is the end of November. I want a summer baby!!! I have a big trip coming up in July, so I’d rather not do it then. But when should we start...

My app says it's low. But it doesn't look as low as ones I took a few days ago were lower

If I don’t have definite line on tests, does that mean I’m out this cycle, or could it still be early? Period isn’t due till 14th.

Having another loss but first through ivf even with good lining and pgta tested embryo. How can this happen or what reasons are there? I dnt get it. Devastated

I got a peak ovulation on 27th & 28th, so unsure when i ovulated but think i’m about 9dpo…. Anything? I’ve had lots of cramping and lower back pain, sore boobs but it’s all calmed right down now? 😣
