I’m obviously going to retest! But this came up this morning within 3 almost 4 minutes… the line doesn’t go perfectly through it so it’s making me question it! Whats everyone’s thoughts do you think it’s gonna be a false test?

I have had 6 rounds of clomid, and this is my very LAST and 6th round of letrozole so I’m pretty nervous about it anyway! Letrozole worked once but unfortunately lost it after a few days so this is freaking me out slightly! Can I please have options on if you think I will get a better line tomorrow or you think it’s...

Vent..

So I’ve been to triage today and cutting a very long couple of hours short I’ve come home with Labetalol for my blood pressure as they didn’t like that it was slightly raised throughout my time in hospital. However I am a little unsure on exactly what the guidelines on with taking it if my blood pressure reads norm...

Emetophobia

Hi everyone. I am currently around 4 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I’ve heard nothing but horror stories about people’s 1st trimester with morning sickness or HG. I am severely emetophobic(scared of sick) and I was wondering if there is anything I could do to prevent feeling or being sick.

2+ protein in urine at 28 weeks pregnant, what now?

Hi! I'm 28 weeks pregnant and at my midwife appointment today they had a reading of 2+ from my urine sample. They have sent it off for a further test to be sure and told me to wait for a call if it is anything, and I'll probably be sent to MAU (NHS Royal Stoke UK), as it is suspected pre-eclampsia. What happens now...
