IVF Pregnancy

Hi there. Please can someone tell me if you are monitored more closely with an IVF pregnancy once you hit the 3rd trimester and if they usually induce you earlier than a spontaneous birth if not delivered by 40w? Just trying to get prepared. Thank you.

Positive or evap?

The top test is yesterday evening and bottom is this afternoon. When I tested this morning, the test looked negative (will post in comments). Are these tests positive or do they have awful evap lines?

Positive or Evap

The top test is from yesterday evening and the bottom is from this afternoon. I took a test this morning and assumed yesterday’s was an evap because there was no line on my morning test. I’m incredibly confused.
