Pregnant again...

It's very early as I haven't missed my period yet but I have had multiple tests of different brands all come back faintly positive. My LO is 1 year old and I have only just gone back to work 2 weeks ago. I haven't told my husband yet as I can't get my head around this being real yet - being so early and the tests be...

When this happens I usually just te...

HCG strip tests at 6 weeks

Is that because the tests themselves can’t get any darker or could there be something wrong? I’ve basically had no symptoms so this is my ...

Nothing happened, we then decided to track ovulation and realised I wasn’t ovulating because I wasn’t getting periods. I suddenly got my first period months later and miraculously got preg...

Having researched online it appears AMH tests are more accurate, but my clinic doesn't do this test. I'm convinced I'm ap...
