Can I get a false positive?

Hi! I have been taking ovulation tests as we have been trying to get pregnant. Yesterday I hit the peak in ovulation but today I have got a faint line on a pregnancy test too - so I’m very confused! Can this be a fake positive? Has anyone got any thoughts? Thank you

Anyone else scared to try for another baby

We both agree we wanted about a 2 year age gap in-between both children and we both said we would start trying in September. Which means now. With June 2023 baby we were not trying but we were not trying to stop it either. So it was kinda a surprise but not really as we didn't prevent it. The idea of actually puttin...

Ectopic or Miscarriage?

So we're TTC after a miscarriage and ectopic previously.. My tests have gone from positive 1-2 to negative back to positive 1-2. Would a miscarriage do this or is this ectopic land again??

IVF

For IVF, I think the criteria is to have a BMI under 35, mine is under this but my fiancée’s isn’t, does this matter given I would be the one carrying the baby?

Hello! Just got a positive test. What do I do next ? Call the GP, self refer? I do have a toddler but with my LO I found out a month in due to no symptoms and found out after a fall. So I don't know the process ..

Round 1 ✖️

Absolutely devastated, round 1 of IVF a complete failure. I was doing a shared cycle as I have good AMH and they thought I’d get a good number of eggs. They collected 8 eggs on Monday, so 4 for me, 4 for the recipient. Out of my 4, 2 fertilised and by day 3 we had a 3 cell and a 5 cell (6 is the target). Just ha...

Positive test

I recently got my positive and thought I’d share a couple of things I always looked for in these groups. I got my first faint line in the afternoon of 9dpo (I don’t usually test in the afternoon).
