Tips for surviving the two week wait? I absolutely drive myself crazy. As soon as I hit 6DPO I want to start testing (I know better but I can’t help it) and then it’s just nothing but hurt feelings. How do people actually wait till there missed period? How do you no go crazy thinking you might be pregnant?

6+5 EPU

EPU appointment due to previous losses. 6+5 according to the app but not totally sure when ovulation was. They could see the sac and yolk but not baby or heart beat yet…. Got to go back in ten 10 days, so triggering due to previous losses. Last time we had this it never came…. Any positive stories like this welcome!!

New partner

I’m in a serious relationship where we are talking about kids and living together. I have a child with someone else that isn’t involved at all but is on birth certificate. My partner would love to adopt my child. He’s the one that has been a dad to my child more than the actual dad. How do we go about it? I’m in UK

I now have flu like symptoms that come and go, acid reflux, and constipation. These symptoms seem like early pregnancy symptoms, and I'm just wondering if it ...

TTC/Ovulation

I wanted to get more opinions as this is my first time using ovulation test strips. Just by looking at these results, does it look like the “highs” are my peaks? or maybe I haven’t peaked yet? Thanks for your opinions. 🤍

High?

Is this a high test? Look like it to me but according to the Premom app it not. Test line is almost as dark as control line.

Almost positive lh?

Is this almost positive? I ran one for fun. Promised my husband this round I would test until I missed my period. Well currently only period and this looks like it's going to peak soon
