9dpo, FMU…I never saw anything like this on yesterday’s tests. Does anyone else see this super super faint line? More pics in comments

I’m 9dpo today. I feel like I see something SO faint on FRER…but I’m not sure if I have line eye. I didn’t see this on yesterday’s testing. (Original pic in comments)

What happens at 16 week midwife app

So this is a bit of a rant but it's quite light-hearted as well. Baby is due in 6 weeks so we're obviously buying the last few bits and bobs and getting the house ready and this person I know was like, "Oh, you've proper started nesting". Erm no, I'm not a hen or some other bird, I'm just preparing for our baby to a...

Hiya! I’m a bit confused and wanted to ask if that’s normal. So, I was supposed to have a home birth visit today and they say they call to confirm at 8.30. That has been and gone and no one called to say if they’re coming and what time. I had my first appointment with them and they did exactly that (called at 8.3...

Feel like I'm out this cycle as nothing close to a line

Hi all I got my 3+ test yesterday so happy and excited I done my self referral form for the midwife. Does anyone know how long you tend to wait to hear back from them? This is my first baby so I have no idea what I’m doing or what to expect?

I’m so anxious. I started my first dose of insulin today and the actual act of the shot was fine. I just get really anxious taking new medications. I was on 500 mg of metformin before getting pregnant. Is that the same as 10 units of insulin? I’m trying to find any way to think about this to ease my mind. I don’t wa...

So my LO has had an on and off fever since Friday. I told my husband if it didn’t go away by the time I picked up my soon from school I would call the pediatrician for a sick visit. I called (12:47pm) them told them the situation and asked if they had anything available for today. The lady I spoke with said the only...

My husband and I agree that we need a doula during birth and postpartum. Any recommendations for doulas in the NoVa area? We are in Fairfax, VA and I will likely deliver at Inova Fair Oaks. Ideally, I’d love someone familiar with the facility and staff there.

After 6 losses maybe the 7th time I’ll be lucky 😫

Had a worry last week, text my midwife as she didn’t answer a call to tell her and ask for advice, still haven’t had a message or call back, I obviously sorted it myself by taking myself to the hospital which resulted in me having a drip, but wondering if anyone else’s midwife’s the same with delayed replies or?

That line comes at the frame time , or well is looks like a line ? Isn’t?

hey everyone how are you all telling work that your pregnant? i’ve recently just started a new job so i’m not exactly super close with them and have no clue how to tell them

I’m loosing my head a bit because the line is so thin… does it count if it’s this thin? Help! ❤️

Hi all, first time mum due 6/11/24! Currently almost 29 weeks pregnant and had a call to go back for more bloods following my 28 week bloods one week apart- due to raised levels- liver. Does anyone know what this means please?

i took this one in the morning first pee. I am seeing defenetly a second line, but also a third one. what do you think? i'm 13 dpo i'm for sure taking an onther one tomorrow to see again.

Me: Every minute of mine

If you got this line when did yours fade? I’m 5 months pp and I thought it would be gone by now.

How y’all feeling!
