To make sure it’s not a chemical pregnancy or anything. currently 11DPO. Got a faint positive yesterday, definitely darker today. (: here’s a pic of my test from this morning. Line showed up immediately.

Just wanted to share a picture of our beautiful baby girl…. A little back story, i have 3 step children, 6 months ago DCF showed up at my house telling my husband and I his ex had a baby 3 days prior and asked of we would take her because mom and dad were homeless and on drugs. I instantly said yes and within 24 hou...

First month trying after implant removed. Had a period 4/5 days after implant out. Ovulated and did the deed a fair few times. Had spotting last week for two days. All tests have been negative Period due today (according to my apps and all the information I’ve inputted) - nothing YET Shall I just wait it out?

Please tell me this isn’t an evap! Came up within five minutes. I still don’t believe it

App is suggesting potential positive but I’m just not seeing it 👀 and im usually the queen of line eyes too! Only 7dpo so will try in the morning. But thoughts?

Hi All, I am 9 weeks pregnant, can I use hcg blood test kit and do my pregnancy test at home? I did my test twice when I was 3+ weeks pregnant shows positive. Just thinking should I do blood test as well. Any recommendation.

Just got my ivf consultation date, (private) 11/11 what are that chances of starting any thing this year?

We’ve got our IVF consultation coming up which we have had to pay for. I’m nervous because I’ve got a feeling the appointment is to fill in consent forms and work out costs. I really hope there’s more to it than that because we’ve had to pay £240 for the appointment and I’m not convinced it’s going to be anything o...

Has anyone else been using Mira to track ovulation? Ive started using Mira this cycle because I found the easy@home premom strips were not tracking my ovulation right. Ive since found it looks like I ovulate much later in the month compared to the predictions on other ovulation apps. I also opted for both ovum w...

I’m six weeks +6, and on Monday morning tested and got what I think was a dye stealer line. This morning I tested again (FMU) as I’ve been a bit paranoid about not “feeling” pregnant - I’ve not really had any symptoms so far beyond feeling tired and sore boobs, which have felt less sore this week. The test came bac...

is it possible this is false? i really don’t know

Did they spend seperate time with you ?

I didn't and my approach is to share & discuss everything with children (age appropriate) versus a child should be seen not heard and do as instructed. I regret vehemently not knowing this info

I know this is line eyes but I also know a lot of women in here are ttc. The blue is apparently my fertile time (way too long?). Hearts are days I had intercourse. What do you think would be the best days ttc out of all this blue? I don’t really trust the 19th being ovulation day but then again I’m not tracking ovul...

Anyone conceived yet ? This group/page has been very silent 🥲sending lots of baby dust to everyone 🤞🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️

I thought ovulation day was today (bc my peak was yesterday) but my levels already dropped. I’m assuming I actually ovulated yesterday? We did it enough I’m not concerned I missed doing the deed, but I was surprised to see levels drop already? Pics in comments too.

(More pics in comments!!) My app says ovulation is today because my surge was yesterday… but my levels already major dropped. So did I ovulate already? Seems like a super short window? We did it a ton so I’m not concerned about timing of the deed- but I was surprised to see how much my levels dropped already?

Just a 7dpo check in. I caved and tested this evening and it was negative (which is to be expected!) How is everyone doing?

Cycle is due on 25th and first scan will be 3 days after that I think! Im so excited to start this journey its come around so quick! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Also, just before we had our IUI in May my BMI was 34.2, and now its 32.8 ☺️ limit is 34!

I’d like to start ttc for baby number 2 and would ideally like to conceive in April, May or June next year for an early Jan-March 2026 baby. When do you think I should come off the pill to start trying? I have a 16 month old daughter and I got pregnant first cycle with her. I had a miscarriage before my daughter wh...
