Took a pregnancy test this morning with my first pee. I never had a test that looked like this before. Am I pregnant or is it a evaporated line? My period isn't due for 6 days and that test is a dollar tree test and I don't know how accurate they are that early.

Hey, just looking for some advice or words of wisdom! I had a FET on Friday (5day embryo) but don’t feel any different at all at the moment. I’ve not had a frozen transfer take before, only fresh. Not sure if I’m supposed to feel any different this early?!

It’s my first month using ovulation tests (We aren’t TTC yet but trying to make sure my ovulation window matches up with the app I use to track my periods). According to my app, my fertile window only started yesterday and I’ve had a high reading this morning. According to my app, Friday is ovulation day. Do you...

It shows “not pregnant” but there are 3 blue lines (2 faint and one solid). I’ve been reading up and it suggests it could be early pregnancy but the sensor hasn’t detected it. Anyone experienced this?

Hi I found out I was pregnant at 3w 2d. I have been taking strips almost every day for peace of mind. Today, I got two tests that look like this- much lighter compared to all the other tests I’ve taken. Every other time I’ve tested the line is just as dark as the control. Anyone know what this could mean?

I should be 4 wks 4 days today. I decided to go and get another test today to check line progression and I squeezed out a wee when I got back home the two top tests are from Friday and the bottom one is from today. In person they are all pretty similar but I was kinda hoping the line would be getting darker. It’s st...
