Positive or negative

Am I completely reaching here or is there an extremely faint line. I'm only 5dpo so could be way too early and my eyes might be playing tricks on me. It's the first response dip test, and when I google a lot of women say they give false positives 😟

Positive pregnancy and periods next day

Something really strange has happened; I had a positive pregnancy test on day of my expected periods and then the periods started next day. Brown coloured blood for day 1 but then red for day 2.

Thoughts?!

Strong positive

Had some very strong positive tests yesterday, 3 days before missed period. Think it is around 12 DPO. Could this possibly be twins ( as I have twins in family) or is it normal? Last pregnancy was a weak positive on day of missed period.

Is it normal to be terrified?

I’m about to finalise my payment for going through IVF privately… but I’m second-guessing myself constantly and wondering should we just “keep trying naturally” even though I know that won’t work! 🫣 Is it normal to have these doubts?! I really do want a baby, but I’m feeling so overwhelmed and terrified of the…

Fertility trackers

Hey, I have just started using a fertility tracker as I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Basically they weren’t sure if I was producing enough progesterone so they were unsure if I ovulated or not. The tracker I have checks estrogen, LH and progesterone. I’m not sure on how to read the graph just yet. Th...

Potential early arrival signs?

I am 37+2 weeks and tried hand expressing colostrum for the first time this evening. I managed to get 0.9ml on my first time! Could this be a sign of early arrival as I didn’t think I would be able to get that much from the first attempt?

Serious question

I don’t understand why many moms come into this group and the other mixed race group and complain about relatives and friends commenting on their child’s appearance when that’s the majority of the post in these groups. If it’s not “guess my child’s ethnicity” when the child is either white presenting or some shade ...
