Evap line or positive?

I’ve just taken this but I cannot remember whether I looked at it within the time frame or out of it. My period is due tomorrow and this is an early response test but I’m not sure if it’s just an evaporation line now… opinions?

My doctor told me to cut down on drinking? Was he right?

Random one! I had blood tests the other day as I’d had to tonsillitis for over a month, by this point it had cleared up but thought best to check. It was my friends birthday the night before and we all went out for some drinks, nothing heavy was in bed by 9:30. Blood test results came back and he said I had enlarged...

Clear blue digital

Before anyone has a pop about opening it up I spoke to my doctor who said to check as I have had a positive on a red dye and digital are notorious for false negs, I’ve also booked in for a blood test, has anyone had a negative on the screen but a clear positive inside I’ll add a picture for reference

Mat leave

Today is my last day of work and I’m actually so excited to start really slowing down into mum zone. I’m a self employed tattoo artist so feel bad on my partner having to put all the graft in now but I feel so tired and ready ! How is everyone getting on? When do others finish?

Baby number 2

Is anybody ready to have another baby yet? Or have you had another baby? We’re thinking of trying this summer when baby is 2. I’m still EBF though and would love to stop and have some time before I start the journey for the second time. But I want baby to self wean when she and I choose so I’m conflicted.

Clearblue

Hi guys, Currently trying for my second and I did a clear blue test. I'm due my period any day. I saw a faint line within the ten minutes but after that time it went like this in the photo. Is this a false negative do you think? I've had trouble with these in the past. Thank you 😊💓
