Had a positive test for five days, had a scan today and nothing found. I’m around 4 weeks late now :(

I got this vvvfl on an easy at home yesterday morning at 7dpo. I’ve retested yesterday eve, this morning and just now and all have been negative. Does this first test look like an indent or is it possible my hcg levels would still be too low to show up at 8dpo… I’m losing hope and feel really down after being positi...

Hi, I’m really new to this and this is my first time using tests. Is it normal to go from such a low result to a high result within a day? Does this result mean I’m ovulating? I’ve read a lot on it but it is confusing and overwhelming to take in. Thanks

What’s the earliest you have gotten a positive? 6 days before period? 7 days before period? 8 days before period? Just curious

Do any of these look like I’ve ovulated or may I have missed peak? I’m really confused as today the tests are hardly showing a line

Hi ladies, I am due to go for my second round of IVF soon, after 3 failed transfers. 1 miscarried at 6wks. They were all medicated FETs. So new clinic and new consultant is saying to go for a natural cycle, frozen embryo transfer this time. I have a left unicorn with both ovaries and polycystic ovaries. Has anyone...

Hey all, I am 10dpo (I think I have PCOS) today and I took an ovulation and pregnancy test (wasn't my first wee off the day) is this ovulation test positive? Also - can anyone see a faint line on the pregnancy test(In comments) Thanks

I am due on my period today and my tests are not getting any darker. I think I may be having a chemical. I feel sick with worry.

The darkest test I’ve gotten was cycle day 16. I think I may have missed my peak as it dropped so much afterwards? What do you all think. I have had EWCM for 5 days and had cramps yesterday…

Hey mamas, I need to vent for a sec. My son’s nursery has been great overall, but something keeps happening that’s really bothering me. There’s another Black boy in his room (adorable but looks nothing like my son), but for some reason, the staff keeps mixing them up. I’ve literally seen the other child wearing my ...

We've had two failed embryo transfers 😞 and we'll need to do another egg collection as we have nothing left in the freezer. What questions should we be asking at our follow up consultation?

I found out I was pregnant last Friday at 12 dpo (not 100% sure if 12 or 11) on Saturday I tested with clear blue and got positive 1-2 I tested this morning and it said not pregnant, but all other tests I took this morning are positive and darker than yesterday? I was also at GP’s yesterday to get referred to EPU as...

Hey lovelies would you say this is close to ovulation x

I’m leaving my LO overnight for the first time in just under two weeks and I am SO nervous. It’s for a hen do about 2 hours away from where I live so i’ll be gone from first thing Saturday morning until late afternoon/early evening on Sunday. At this point I don’t know why I said I’d go but it was arranged so far in...

Ladies, I took this test this evening. It came in a pack of 2, FRER, 1 digital and the one attached in the photo. I swear I can see a faint line, but I took the digital & it said negative 😣 I thought if this one picked up anything, so will the digital since they’re both supposed to be early detection.

Has anyone had light brown cervical mucus after ovulation?

I know many of you have been trying to conceive for a long time and have so much knowledge. It did take me a year last time but I didn’t research much. Now I’m pretty damn late but the tests keep saying negative. Blue and pink. I never tried first morning pee but I’m always dehydrated. it should say positive after ...

Hi I think I've tested a bit early but what does everyone else think? I had implantation bleeding on 24th and this test was taken on 28th

I took this test two and half years ago, I remember feeling like I could see a second line but couldn’t be sure. I was going to get a test 2 days later but had started bleeding and thought it was my period and an evaporation line so carried on life as normal and forgot about it. 9 months later I went on to fall preg...

I’m so upset about having to send my baby to nursery. I just don’t understand how they can provide the care a baby needs with the 3:1 ratio? Like I struggle to keep my baby happy 1:1 and I’m his mother. Hate the thought of him being upset on his own as he’s very sensitive. I know they wouldn’t leave him really upset...
