Strong positive test

Hi everyone. ☺️ After a miscarriage back in July we decided to try again and today I'm 4w 6d pregnant with my 3rd child. Now please tell me that it's normal to have such a strong line at this stage 😂

Positive test question

Is it possible to test negative at 9dpo and test positive later? I am having cold like symptoms and my boobs hurt. Been having some cramping on my left side and excess saliva. Thoughts?💭 Also bad dreams.

PGT-A lawsuit - should I still test?

Is anyone changing their mind about doing pgt testing on embryos due to the recent class action law suit against testing companies? We were planning to do it but now I’m not so sure - over 40 and this will be our first ivf round (never been pregnant so we thought testing would be worthwhile). Thoughts?

Implication counselling

Have you had mandatory counselling for IUI/IVF? If so, what questions did they ask? How personal did they get? How many mandatory sessions did you get?

Defeated

39w and only a cm dilated and 50% effaced. I’ve actually been bawling for the last couple hours over this. I just can’t stand to be pregnant anymore.

Faint line question

So I miscarried on the 20th September and only bled for 7 days. I done two cheap (£3:50) tests which came up faint positive then a couple of days later done three really cheap strip tests which where so very faint. My symptoms have lessened a bit I do still have excessive saliva and feel a bit queasy but not to bad....

Faint positive, negative digital

I track using premom and my dpo has changed a couple of times after logging my LH tests. But it says I’m 11dpo today. I think this is a faint positive. But I had a negative digital (due p in 5 days) I’m confused 😨

my baby is four and a half months and my husband wanted one after the other but i’m trying to long it out as long as possible lool. for the mums who do have two under two how hard is it and how long should i wait. i had a really easy birth experience so i think that’s why he thinks i can do it again

2 under 2 😬

Anyone else got two under two incoming? We should only have that gap for two/ three weeks and I am so incredibly grateful for another (all remaining well) healthy baby but to say I’m nervous is an understatement 😅
