Delayed positive pregnancy test

Hi lovelies, I'm one year PP and am due my 6th period (since labour) tomorrow but have had a couple pregnancy symptoms so have taken a few tests. All initially came back negative but the first two came up with faint positives 12 hours later and one this morning came back positive an hour after testing? PLEASE HELP

Nexplanon Malfunction??

I have a nexplanon implant right now. I'm just wondering if it's possible for it to malfunction, and I could get pregnant?? It expires in 5 months... I'm only a weak late, currently... and my cycle has started coming every 40 days the last few months, so I go by after the 40-day mark to be late. My stress gives me p...

Trying for 2nd baby

I want to start trying for 2nd baby but partner is hesitant. He says we’re struggling enough with 1 (time, cost, work/life juggle, toddler being hard work with tantrums) so another would be too stressful at the moment. But surely it’s never easy no matter when? I definitely want another but if he’s not sure then I’...

Just seeking a bit of advice!

We have been trying to conceive a baby nr 2 for the last 6 months, but no luck... I'm starting to think that my weight and age might have something to do with it (116kg, 37 y).. I'm thinking, maybe I should pause TTC for half a year and try Mounjaro injections to lose a bit of weight, not sure how long I will have t...

The term “sperm donor” for absent father

I’m putting this here as it’s the biggest group by far and I’ve seen this term used quite a lot. Using the term “sperm donor” when you actually mean absent father is quite disrespectful to the selfless men that do donate their sperm to allow people seeking fertility treatment to be able to grow their families. W...

Clearblue vs LH sticks

My Clearblue ovulation test says I’m having my peak, however my pregmate ovulation LH tests aren’t showing a dark test line. Clearblue ovulation test photo in comments. Has anyone else experienced this? Clearblue says it’s 99.9% accurate at detecting LH surge 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m on cycle day 12

Ovulation strips

I’ve started taking conception pills and this month my ovulation muscus has increased massively and I have ovulation pains but not getting a peak. I got a peak last month but if I don’t get a peak today is this a concern to conceive?

Help!!

HG started at 5 weeks. I’m only 6 weeks now. They started me on promethazine teoclate and Ondansetron. I’m now on ondansetron, cyclizine and Metaclopramide. I see a lot of you are on xonvea. Should I be asking my GP about that? My current cocktail, I’ve only been on for less than 24 hours. But I can’t even functio...

Clear blue!!!

Hello, TTC for baby number 2. I would like to just say how frustrating these tests are. The top one is from 2 days ago but to me it looks just like a dent lint or evap line, so I took another one yesterday (bottom) and there is a very faint line, I’m thinking great 👍🏼 I took a digital test yesterday and this…

Low fertility to peak

Hi, I’ve just started using the clear blue advanced ovulation tests. For the last two days I’ve tested twice a day (am & pm) and got the empty circle meaning low fertility. I’ve just tested this morning and I’ve got a static smiley face which means peak. So I didn’t get a flashing smiley face (high fertility) at a...

Had the line got lighter?

I’ve been testing almost every day up until my first test. The line has been progressively getting better however this morning the line has lightened drastically. I have an early scan tomorrow but I’m freaking out now. Could the test be faulty or is it definitely lighter.

Clearblue

I've done a clear blue it says pregnant 2-3 but I started monjaro 3 weeks ago and took a pregnancy test and it was negative ? How far along does this mean I am ? And what would I be able to do ? To get this checked out to make sure the baby is ok ?
