The results were surprising. My OB basically called and said ...

Is this a positive test or an evaporation line? I’m so confused. I’m 10 dpo and due on my period in 3 days

I had a positive test on 13dpo. I’m now 16dpo but my tests had been light. But they look to be progressing okay. I’m thinking I’m 3dpo behind? My glow account says I should’ve ovulated on the 18th too.

So I was told by my doctor to wait until year half to start trying for second baby. I did now I kinda reject it. I haven’t had any luck getting pregnant. Is anyone else in the same boat as me?

Anyone gotten their “pink” back?.. I swear I feel more exhausted and not myself than I did when I first had my girl. I don’t really have any time away from my girl, I’m a full time sahm. If yall have gotten your pink back, how are yall doing it🫠

I watched a cool YouTube short today that honestly educated me! I guess being in my own country I sometimes forget that labor and delivery is still not open to the dad to be. It’s generally a women’s only space.

Has anyone else been struggling to conceive baby number 2? We’ve been trying for a year now and have not managed to get pregnant ☹️ we got pregnant straight away with our first, everyone around me is pregnant at the minute and on baby number 2, feeling really lost and lonely.
