First time so is this normal for 9DPO?

I’m 4 weeks and 4 days, I’ve just done a Clearblue test - 11:30am my first wee of the day - and it was positive within the time frame, but it wasn’t as dark as my most recent Clearblue test😣 am I worrying for nothing?

Second month trying for first 9DPO is this positive

I’ve just started my period, and contacted the clinic to get my appointment I was expecting to go in today or tomorrow but they’ve said I need to go in on Monday. I’m guessing it’s because it’s a weekend but will this impact my treatment?

Rhesus negative ladies - Has anyone tested positive for antibodies at their 28 week blood test? I had anti d twice back in July so they said it could possibly be that, but I did a follow up test and they still found antibodies 2 weeks later. Trying not to panic...

I’m not sure how many DPO I would be, but my period was due last Friday (1st Nov) and I tested positive on Tuesday 5th, was a faint-ish but very obviously line, think I’m just over 5 weeks. Since then it’s got slightly darker each day but this mornings one seems slightly lighter. Should I be worried? I’ve had no ble...

I want to try for another baby!

Currently 5 dpo/cd 18

Alrighty, the time has come. Second round of IVF starting all over in February 2025. I’m nervous & scared at the same time. We ended up with 3 embryos. 1 was a fresh transfer (failed) & second time we transferred 2 embryos which ended up with a chemical pregnancy. What worked? What failed? What should I avoid d...

I unexpectedly fell pregnant and it ended in a chemical pregnancy. The thought of being pregnant did make me happy & I realised I’m ready for baby#2 Did any of you continue to TTC right after a chemical pregnancy?

Did your family understand that when your newborn cried, to give him back to you so you could feed/soothe him? Or did they just try and do it themselves? And think they just need to be bounced rather than fed?

I just got this job that requires a 10 panel drug test at labcorp. I stopped smoking about a month ago but still test positive. Has anyone used Quick Fix synthetic urine to pass a lab test? If so, how did it go for you? Did you pass?

Can anyone advise? WTF is going on here scanned the cheapy strip says negative , clear blue 2 day one negative and the 4 day STATIC smiley??? Which one is it 😫

Both pictures taken just after 3 minutes processing and within the 10 min window. It was a cheap test from Superdrug but the plastic window really obscures my view, it looked scratched. As much as I tried squinting and holding it in different lights, I couldn’t see past it. So I opened the test up straight away. I...

Hi everyone! I went to a fertility clinic a few weeks ago with the intention of freezing my eggs (found out my employer covered it so thought why not?!) My partner and I are getting married in July and would love to have a baby as soon as we can after the wedding. We want 2-3 kids, so freezing made sense regardless,...

Still testing positive 😔. It'll be 3 weeks on Weds since I last had my hcg blood test which had come down to a point they were happy with. I have been advised to test again on Weds. I just feel like it's still going to be positive and it is so disheartening since we want to start trying again ASAP. I have also…

So I’ve been ttc for almost 3 years and never gotten anything like this due to pcos but have been frequently taking conceive plus ovulation support and the first two lines on my ovulation stops appeared. So my question ladies is this the start of me leading up to my peak or have I missed it 🤔😬 more photos in comments

I got a positive test on Monday (first test I took since last period) and it's positive yay! But I'm scared it's not going to stick. Flo says I'm just 6 weeks now, I had a bit of heartburn and I'm very tired but it just doesn't feel real I'm so scared something will go wrong so not sure if I should let family know y...
