Endo surgery

Has anyone had endometriosis surgery prior to going through IVF or even after? Did it improve the egg quality? I’m switching doctors for my next IVF and she may suggest getting a surgery before we start the cycle.

It seems quite late to get a peak any later given my cycles are around 33-35 days longer. Am I just not ovulating and is t...

False positive??

I tested on the test on the left but the T line appeared first with a faint line before the urine reached the C line then the c line appeared. Then retested again with the one on the right showing a negative. Thoughts?? Is it a false positive or real?

US Department of education is gutted

Trump signed the official executive order getting rid of the department of education today. This is one example of why being a mother is inherently political. How can you be a mother and be ok with this?!

Evap lines

Wondering if anyone has taken a test which has a second line but so faint it looks like a evap line but it was acc positive? How long does it take to form a evap line after testing? If it came up straight away would it still be a evap line?
