Community Posts, Tips & Support on Planning for a Baby

Not sure if this is the right forum. My probation ended a couple of days ago but I've not been explicitly told I've passed. My last 2 months haven't gone exactly to plan (some factors out of my control such as being the only one left in the team etc) 1- can you assume you've passed probation if you've not been t...

Hey, trying not to get hopes up as we’re only 9 dpo but wondering if this classes as a “faint positive line”? And if so, any recommendations of a more sensitive test? TIA!

I swear u need a degree to work out ovulation tracking! So had a static smiley on the CB ovulation digital test. Day before that was just the circle (so no flashy face… is that weird?) And then today (4days after the positive test) I get some ewcm, when on earth did I ovulate? Does the discharge come after the p...

HCG levels at 1830 and in roughly 4/5 weeks are these really low or not?

We were given the go ahead for another round of IUI! First resulted in a loss, husband's sperm count more than doubled and motility is 75 percent. God is soooo good!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 This whole process is so humbling. A sincere good luck to every one of you ladies.

I wondered if I might be able to ask this lovely community for some help! I am about to complete my Master's degree in Psychology and need to complete my dissertation. Inspired by my own experiences, I have decided to explore the topic of finding belonging as a stepmum in an attempt to understand more about the ch...

Does anybody see the line I took one at 6am and this one at 10am and this one looks a little darker then the 6am one 10DPO Today

I can’t see a line but my husband is adamant there’s a faint one… is he just being delusional? 😂

Last night I took a cheapie test (period due today) and there was a very faint line (at 5 minutes). This morning I tested again expecting to see a definite line - nothing. Not even a hint. Decided to go and get a clear blue to try and the same. Negative. Have I been got with an evaporation line? 😭

Ive been thinking of trying for my Third child, but i’m terrified i will struggle. How did anyone find it the right time to do this and know it was the right choice? How does anyone with three kids or more find it😅

I feel like there’s something there then when I look again there’s not 😂 I’m 99% sure it’s negative

Yesterday I had to go to my local antenatal day unit for my BP measuring after it being high on Friday and also having protein in my urine. My blood pressure was read three times yesterday and was perfect all three times. My pulse was high at first but then come down. My urine was clear. My temperature was fine. My ...

I know it’s silly, but took over 6years to conceive are second, he’s currently 5 weeks But we’re actively trying again as we would like a smaller age gap I have pcos , so taking the opportunity with my body being highly fertile When’s best to do a test

My cycles have been irregular since I stopped BC so that’s why it took me so long to test. I guess I should be 7 weeks now! However I did get a negative a little over a week ago so I feel like that may not as accurate for me. The first one on top was taken around 6am yesterday, and the second one around 11:30am (the...

Hello! I had a baby in October and my period is late (2-days). We have done the pull-out method so unlikely to be pregnant, in either case, just did a test it seems negative but there somehow seems to be a line there (just ordered another test just to make sure). Do you also see the line, or would you say this is ne...

Been trying since October 2023 😞 I’ve had 2 MMC, both at 11 weeks. Last one was August 2024. I’m actually getting very tired of TTC. It’s so emotionally exhausting. At what point do we give up? 😢 Period due this week and negative test this morning

I took a pregnancy test last week because I was feeling nauseous all day and when I tried to eat food it was all unappetizing to me. It came back negative so I let it be but I also did test at night when hcg levels are low and I hadn’t missed my period yet. Now my period is late 3 days but I’ve been cramping the pas...

I'm only 8dpo and I'm assuming this is a BFN. A tiny part of me wants to see a vvvfl... but I could be going mad. Thoughts? X

12dpo and still negative…

Can someone tell me if it gets darker. And how long do I have left if even possible
