Why are people so judgmental

I posted a question on here genuinely trying to get answers because I want to be a good Mom and do the best I can for my kid and I want more than anything to be a great Mom. I understand that my own upbringing can influence my instincts and not be what is actually best. I want to be better than my parents were. I wa...

I hate this waiting!

I had a peak reading on 21st and 22nd October. BD around then as well so I think we covered it. My cycles are usually around 28 days long. Im late but I know it’s only by 1 day but I’m very regular. All I’m getting is negative pregnancy tests 😩. Am I out? Would I have had a faint line by now?

Can someone hel...

10dpo

10dpo and still negative. I’ve had so many pregnancy symptoms, but I’m assuming must be in my head or must be pms. Weirdest one was 8dpo I made me and my partner dinner, a meal we always have and I couldn’t eat it because it just didn’t taste right. I was so sure I was pregnant after this but tests are still saying no!

High bbt negative pregnancy

Does this look triphasic? I’m 11 dpo and testing negative for pregnancy but my bbt increased again

You won’t like my take: just because your religion says to be “fruitful”, it makes you an IRRESPONSIBLE parent if you knowingly can’t afford future children but keep pumping them out with no plans on how you will meet basic NEEDS.

Don’t say it’s the economy. People have been planning to have kids knowing dang well they don’t have enough money to meet basic and essential needs of the child.

I am going to stop testing at some point but my anxiety is through the roof due to a recent MC. I got a dye stealer on a first response this morning but I also done a easy@home just now

I think the test line maybe slightly darker than the control line?? Iv also booked for tomorrow a private hcg blood work to maybe calm my nerves abit.
