Concerned tests aren’t getting darker

I don’t feel like my tests have got darker over the last few days. I’m worried I’m having another chemical or I’ll have another early miscarriage. Found out 10dpo I’m now17dpo. I would have expected a dye stealer by now? Am I able to call my GP and request bloods? Not sure about the process

To have a third?

I have two boys, youngest is 5 months. We decided we’ll wait a bit (maybe until youngest is 2?) until deciding whether or not to have a third. I think about it a lot whether it makes sense for our family. I definitely have room in my heart for a third, but I think from a practicality standpoint, we should stop at 2....

Two faint positives and one digital negative??

My hubby and my two best friends both agree the lines are there and then I took a digital tonight and it said not pregnant. I’m 12 dpo, I hadn’t intended to take a test yet but I had to check before I took an advil. I’ll take another line test in the morning, maybe my sample was just too diluted for the digital? My ...

Due in 4 weeks... Not ready to be separated from her

This baby is being adopted due to financial reasons and I cannot afford to keep her. I already have 3 kids and I know the best choice for my family financially would be to not add another one.

Hello I am a few days away from my period. 10DPO. This morning I woke up at 5AM to use the bathroom and took some tests with first morning urine. They turned positive.

Positive pregnancy test?

I'm currently on an IUD. I had a LEEP procedure Dec 16th and wondering if my IUD moved and now I'm pregnant. Does it look like a faint positive?

Possible conception?

My husband did “that” inside me this morning. Hadn’t checked my cycle tracking app since my period ended and it said ovulation in 1 day. Took an ovulation test now and it was very positive. I’m not necessarily trying to get pregnant but also wouldn’t be mad either way. Do you think it’s a high possibility I conceive...

So I posted this morning with tests that looked like faint positives. I haven’t been able to hold well because for some reason I’m peeing like crazy even without drinking much fluids. But this is the update. I feel like maybe see it still?

Would you be offended?

I'm mixed race. My partner is white and often makes insensitive comments (I feel anyway) Recently we were having a discussion and I related the topic I was talking about to "whites making blacks slaves back in the old days" and he responded "blacks made other blacks slaves first in Africa. They started it." I g...

Ovulating??

I’m only day 8 of my cycle and this looks positive? My cycles are bang on 28 days and very regular so why would it be positive so early? Shouldn’t I be ovulating at day 14? My period only ended 3/4 days ago!

Evap or positive?

Hi girls, hopefully this picture is clear, I did a pregnancy test this morning but a little busy to post, this line has appeared but appears to be faint. Would you say this is an evap line? Any help is appreciated. I am going to carry on testing as my period is due in 4 days
