What dpo did you get a positive digtal on?

On Thursday I got this test and today I got this test (in comments). I know this is a bad sign. Could it be because I did a wee an hour ish ago and then went for another one just now to try and test? So my urine is diluted?

I look after my son (18 months) full time and have no help from family or anyone. There is no nursery in our town for under 3s.

I had my last period on 8th October, my doctor advised me to start taking low aspirin because of two recent miscarriages. I had some mild watery bleeding on 2nd November for a day (I thought this was my period but there wasn’t enough to be a period). After that I spotted for one day since this day I’ve had the exact...

TW: Pregnancy I got a very faint positive 4 days ago on a clear blue rapid. I retested today with first morning urine same test and it’s still very faint. Should I be concerned?

For those of you that have had ‘the first grandchild’ anyone got any tips for dealing with smothering parents (the grandparents) who are meeting your baby for the first time?

So I'm 5/6dpo (early i know), haven't taken pregnancy tests but took an LH test this morning with 2nd urine. Yesterday my LH test was so light if you took a quick look you'd think there was no line at all, today it's come back quite strong. Had some spotting over night and cramping today, could this be looking good?...

Has anyone had a negative at 6dpt and tested a few days and it was positive?

How did everyone decide it was the right time for baby no2? Me and my partner have been talking about having another one but I’m worried it’s never going to be the right time😓

Is it worth putting dad on birth certificate for child maintenance ?

So I’m somewhere around 9-11 dpo tomorrow. I feel pregnant, my husband thinks I am as does my mum but my tests are all over the place. I only take various brands of the early detection ones and some have a super faint line, two have an obvious but very faint pink line and the rest are negative. I’ve just taken a cle...

Hi everyone! My partner and I have completed all our fertility testing including a tube assessment and seems like we have u explained infertility. Our Dr previously spoke about doing two rounds of medicated IUI (we’d be funding this) before moving to IVF. Anyone else had a similar experience or let me know what to ...

Found out I was pregnant last week, but my tests aren’t getting any darker. I’ve got positives on digitals and every test I do there’s a line but it’s not getting any darker. I’ve been testing everyday since last Sunday and it’s gotten slightly darker but not much. Any advice please?
