So yesterday I took a test and it was a faint positive that evening I started my period has anyone else had this at all, so confusing there was a faint line please can some advise please if anyone else has had similar?

I've had missed period but not so excited as I have an irregular period.

If you changed your mind after having kids? Why?

I am devastated by what i've learned about my family in the last week through Thanksgiving interactions. How are you all navigating the dynamics of keeping a toddler or young child safe around a family with a messy history? Everyone in my family has been abused or is an abuser and I refuse to let my child be exposed...

Had my egg retrieval on Friday and retrieved 12 eggs. Got my fertilization report and 5 are mature and fertilized. I wasn’t expecting such an extreme drop off so early on. Am I out of the race?

So I took a test and the first picture shows negative but I went to convert it to invert on the checker app I see a another line🫣 Do I just have line eyes or can you girlies see as well. I’ll post the pic of the other one in the comments

So 4 days ago I used a digital that said I was at my peak (see test in comments) I tested again this morning and now I’ve got a test like WAY darker than the controlling and now I’m so worried that my body failed to ovulate and is trying again. I’m on cycle day 24 (my cycles are roughly 36 days) Is it possible tha...

Has anyone done an egg allergy ladder that wouldn’t mind sharing? My GP told me this wasn’t a thing, but I friend of a friend’s baby has been put on it by her GP.

I’m really in disbelief at these tests! The clear ones are darker in person! But does this mean I’m finally getting my rainbow?❤️😭🥲🤞🏼🌈

Do I ignore this?

I’ve got literally no idea what this means and I finally like sat down and took a look at it after a month . A few things: number 1 it says history of ovarian cysts… I’ve never been told I’ve had cysts???? Number two.. do the measurements of my lining and everything look good? Number three… what in the world does ...

I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited to start my period 🤪😅 We are OFFICIALLY ttc baby #2. And I put an emphasis on the officially because I just recently had a surgery that hopefully cured my infertility 🙌🏻 We won’t know until we officially try but it’s so exciting to be this hopeful. It took us 4 years…

Took 3 and all faint but still there

What were your progesterone levels on the day of the transfer? Mine were extremely high and all the scientific articles I have read about it said that very high progesterone levels are also linked to low implantation rates. I am on day 5 after FET and have a very bad feeling that it has failed already.

Anybody eaten hardboiled eggs that were accidentally left out overnight and been fine?… still in their shells if that makes any difference

I recently had a chemical pregnancy so now I’m super paranoid

Hi all, I’m waiting for the blood test results to come back to see if baby has rhesus negative blood like me or positive. I know that if baby is positive I can have the anti-d injection but my midwife told me it’s now just one big injection at 28 weeks and no need for it after birth. Everywhere I’ve read says it...

I’m really struggling with visitors wanting their ‘newborn cuddle’. I feel like so many of these visitors, mean well but are only coming to hold the baby and wouldn’t normally be seeing us outside of bigger gatherings. I also am struggling with the expectation that we just hand our baby over for multiple people. I...

Has anyone had their peak and then for it to drop and rise again?

Anyone had super strong tests at 4/5 weeks? I tested this week and got a 3+ on CB digital and a dye stealer on first response 😬
