Missed a period

Has anyone totally skipped a period with negative tests? Mine is 2 weeks late now. Did your cycle change because of this or did it stay on track with just a month of no bleeding?

Period/ovulating after MC. Help!

Parenting

I think the reaction people have when I talk about how much I love motherhood and parenting is crazy. Why is it so normalized to bad talk being a parent and how hard it is?

Raising a baby away from family

We recently moved up north, away from all our family and friends (3 and a half hours away) because we just couldnt afford the rental prices down south, and then found out we’re pregnant two months later. Has anyone else had an experience raising your first baby away from everyone you know? I’m terrified!

Bittersweet mini rant

Ttc first (probably only) baby for 1.5y. PCOS and don't ovulate. We just spent the weekend with our friends and had a wonderful time with their baby. It was amazing, but it also hurt deeply that we don't have that ourselves. Just needed to get that off my chest.

Positive before period

I’m supposed to get my period tomorrow but I’ve taken a test today. I remember the first time I’ve tested for my first baby my positives were never this dark. Could it be that I ovulated earlier?

Is this a positive ovulation test?

Hello! I just took this and I'm pretty sure I already ovulated but it's showing positive and pregnancy test are showing negative. So I guess the question is this a positive ovulation test :)
