No FAMILY At Christmas Time

This time of year can hit really hard. I have no family. My husbands parents have been passed for a while. I never had a dad growing up and my mum lives far away and I’m not really in contact with her. So we have no where to go and no one to host at Christmas time. This was the same growing up as a kid. I hate it an...

Annoyed with myself

Got my peak 19th. Ovulated the 20th but missed baby dancing on the 20th. But I did do it two days each side do you think this is enough? 🤦🏽‍♀️🤞🏽

Early pregnancy test

I am 9dpo today and took an early clear blue and it’s negative. Is there still a chance if the early test is negative? Don’t really understand how much HCG you need for some tests. I know some require more or less.

Have you yet brought your baby somewhere where there is someone you don’t really like ?

Like someone you dread even holding your baby. I’m trying to think if I’m ready but I’m literally so protective abt my baby right now

Positive?

Period is 2 days late. Very little to no symptoms. Had a chemical pregnancy a couple of months ago and very questionable ovulation results this month. Is this positive? Should the line be this faint for being 2 days late TIA

Double peak?

First day of my last period was the 8th dec. I thought I’d already ovulated and did have sex on cd 12 and 13 but I’ve just done an ovulation test again and my LH looks like it’s about to peak again? Why is that?

Should I keep trying in January if unsuccessful this week?

My fiancé and I have been ttc since July, though we’ve been having unprotected sex since my daughter was born in February 2023 lol. If this cycle is unsuccessful, I really need to reconsider my next steps because I’ve been struggling with body dysphoria for decades. I’ve been working out for two months, eating heal...

Confused?

I’ve been getting faint positives for 2 days now, so decided to pick up a 6 days day earlier digital test. I done both of these with the same urine and digital says not pregnant? I’m 10 dpo
