Can someone help put my mind at ease

I had my transfer on Nov 5th and although I’ve been told to not take a test until tomorrow when I tell the clinic, my impatience has got the better of me! I’ve been feeling symptoms that I had with my daughter so I’m feeling positive about it and have been from the start. However, my mother in law has twisted it an...

I'm so so confused

Bottom two are cheap pregnancy tests, top two are from the inside of a clearblue. I'm so so confused... I'm 11 months pp and haven't had a period yet. My husband and I have been using condoms so this is a (lovely) surprise if so, but also worried about ectopic as I have a sharp pain in my right side. Am I seeing t...

Being questioned by family for giving LG a dummy

I’ve seen a lot of people now choose not to give their babies dummies and now I feel like I’m the only one who’s giving their bab...

Due Date??

Hi! I got my first positive test on Nov. 10th, 1 day after my missed period (negative test on the 9th). I don’t have my first appointment until Dec. 10 so I’m really curious to see how far along I am 😅. I did get blood work 2 days after the positive it was only at 40 so i know I'm in between 3-5 weeks. Is anyone…

NHS IVF Timeframe

My local ICB says that we qualify for IVF funding if we have a diagnosed issue (in our case male factor) and have been trying for over a year. However, my GP says we have to wait 2 years, even though my partner has done 2 tests that we both very low. Am I losing my mind or reading this wrong? Also, if we pay for pr...

No progression on tests

Were anyone’s pregnancy tests positive for a week but still faint? Thinking it should be darker by now. Worried it’s chemical or not progressing.

D negative blood

Has anyone else got D negative blood and been invited to have a blood test to check baby’s blood? Apparently if they are D positive my blood cells can attack theirs and it can cause problems if I don’t get plasma injections. I didn’t even know this was a thing and it’s slightly worried me 😢 my test isn’t for 2…
