Am I crazy ? I see a line ? Definitely got lighter everyday. Today is day 7 after my trigger shot. But I'm not sure of there's a line there. The medicine is slowly leaving my system so I'm hoping if that is a line it gets darker 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

My partner and I have been trying to concieve for over a year . I’ve lost so much weight and gotten my periods back to some sort of regular path. I followed my fertility and I have all the symptoms of being pregnant, I’m afraid that it’s false and don’t want to get my hopes up. I am taking a pregnancy test in five ...

Evening! I got a letter yesterday with my screening results and then had information about Low PAPP-A levels as mine was 0.3 at 13+2 weeks.
