Tuesday I tested with the same strip tests again along with a digital in the morning (said not pregnant) and strips and FRER in the PM. FRER came back faint positive and strips looked s...

I have been ttc my first baby for 8 months now have regular cycles and all is normal I had numerous tests such as the hsg to check my fallopian tubes which are open. My partner has also done the sperm analysis which came out okay too.

I’m running out of ideas and am not sure what else I can do. I have tried mucinex and pre conception pills. I tried going for acupuncture and eating healthy I just feel like I’ve given up now :( can anyone advise me if it also took you 6 months to a year

Second child temperament

Hi second or multiple children mamas. Im currently pregnant with our second, our first is an absolute angel, very calm, never tantrums. Everyone and I mean everyone jumps on the chance to tell me our second will be a terror and to be prepared. It really makes me down because this baby hasn’t even come into the wor...

Indents/evap lines?

I’m 13dpo. I’ve had 2 days of the most incredibly faint lines on FR pregnancy tests. Both appeared within the 10 minutes. Are these just indents/evap lines and should I give up hope for this month? I’ve had recurrent miscarriages so want to know if it’s a yes or no as I would be taking Cyclogest when I get a positive.

My husbands psychic apparently

Tell me why a couple of days ago when we were having sexy time he goes, “yeah, you’re about to be on your period”… I go to check my Flo app and it says I have a week and a half until my next period so I’m like “not according to my app” he’s like “ I can tell when you’re about to be on”. And would you guess who came ...

The fact that you raised a child before means absolutely nothing

There are absolutely no requirements to raise a child other than a functioning reproductive system (sometimes, not even your own reproductive system). When moms give me advice and I don’t take it they often get offended and say, “This isn’t my first rodeo. I’ve done this before x number of times.” I just kinda nod a...

Trying here

I posted in the ttc group but didn’t get any responses, so maybe someone here has input? I’m wondering if it’s possible I missed my peak Cd 13 and actually ovulated yesterday cd 14 and not today cd 15. The complete drop on cd 14 isn’t making sense to me. So I think peak was cd 13 and I gradually was dropping from th...

Late ovulation or early pregnancy ?

I am approximately 10dpo according to my flo app. I heard sometimes if you take an ovulation test it could mistake the LH level for HCG. Could I be pregnant if I’m meant to be past ovulation & got a faint line of the test? Anyone experienced this before ?

When to do digital test?

I had a very faint positive at 10dpo. The picture is this morning at 12dpo. It’s a very sensitive one. It has sensitivity of 10 IU/L. The digital has sensitivity of 25 IU/L. Can I use digital tomorrow?
