Nub Theory

Would you recommend nub theory? I’m so excited to find out the baby’s sex and unsure if I can wait till 20 wk scan! Few friends have mentioned nub theory but I don’t know how accurate it is or where to go for it online?

Protein in urine

Had my 34 week midwife appointment today, they said there were traces or protein in my urine. My blood pressure is still very low and they didn’t seem overly concerned. Has anyone else had this?

Am I silly?

Am I silly to take a 25mIU/ml test at 9dpo, should I be using more sensitive or waiting longer before testing? It was negative so very disheartening 😢

Has anyone used the Sneak peek gender test?

I’m feeling ill and I want to do something for fun to lift my spirits. So I thought it’d be cool to find out what gender it is. I’ve seen mostly positive reviews and some negative. Have you used the sneak peek gender test, if so what was your experience like, were the instructions clear, and how was customer service?
