Were anyone’s pregnancy tests positive for a week but still faint? Thinking it should be darker by now. Worried it’s chemical or not progressing.

D negative blood

Has anyone else got D negative blood and been invited to have a blood test to check baby’s blood? Apparently if they are D positive my blood cells can attack theirs and it can cause problems if I don’t get plasma injections.

IVF First Cycle Help

Hello! We started our very first IVF cycle last night. I’m on 450IU of Meriofert. My partner did the injection last night but he’s working tonight so I had to do it myself.
