Hi :) When do you suggest taking a test. I have seen a few of you say you are 3weeks and slightly over. Please let me know when you took your test. My last period was 19th October, so that would put me at 3 weeks today? I’ve taken a test tonight however negative (which I expected as it’s so early?) Thanks :)

Due for a fresh transfer soon, this is my first transfer and first round. I see a lot of posts about losses, I know sadly it’s common either with IVF or spontaneous conception but is it more common with IVF? In the UK so not doing embryo testing.

I am two days late on my period so decided to test today and have had two faint positives (one this morning and one this afternoon and the one this afternoon was stronger) I am so anxious about the positives being faint, please someone put my mind at ease. Is it normal for tests to be faint at this stage?

Hello Ladies, I have just been told my cervix is 26mm. The doctors want to wait annd see but I am getting very nervous. Anyone with similar measurements and what was the treatment prescribed?

I’ve got 6 positive tests, a missed period and classic symptoms, however my tests are not all very very dark like some other peoples are, is this normal? The lines are progressing they’re just not extremely dark should I be worried? Xxx

Is it possible I’ll get a positive at some point? Please don’t comment saying it will happen 🙄💔 it doesn’t help

Based on these ovulation strips when should I take a test? I’m 10 months pp

Is this a faint positive? Or is it just wishful thinking on my part? I’m 10 DPO.. I got an obvious negative yesterday. I would be so thrilled if this was the positive I am seeing, but also scared of being wrong when do I test again

I heard trump is gonna make your insurance or the government pay for ivf treatments? This is huge news especially for my friend whos payed sooo much for her treatments 🥲

I take it this isn't a good sign, it would be showing up by now if I was wouldn't it? Testing first thing in the morning.

We are actively trying for baby #2 right now. My first baby was born in January and is 10 months old. I stopped taking birth control in early October when I reached the end of the pack I was on. The first day of my last period was October 8, and the tracking app I use says I should have ovulated on October 22. I sho...

We are evaluating moving back to home state to have more support in our life. A few years ago we went no contact with my in laws & moved out of state due to work. Since we have reconciled because we want the best for our first child. But there was no apology and the family dynamic remains the same. Have anyone e...

UK based going through IVF and my lining is already 13.8mm. Egg collection is soon. Can I expect this to get thicker? Worried transfer will be cancelled as too thick isn’t good for implantation but what is too thick? So many questions!

First time so is this normal for 9DPO?

I’m 4 weeks and 4 days, I’ve just done a Clearblue test - 11:30am my first wee of the day - and it was positive within the time frame, but it wasn’t as dark as my most recent Clearblue test😣 am I worrying for nothing?

Second month trying for first 9DPO is this positive

I’ve just started my period, and contacted the clinic to get my appointment I was expecting to go in today or tomorrow but they’ve said I need to go in on Monday. I’m guessing it’s because it’s a weekend but will this impact my treatment?

Rhesus negative ladies - Has anyone tested positive for antibodies at their 28 week blood test? I had anti d twice back in July so they said it could possibly be that, but I did a follow up test and they still found antibodies 2 weeks later. Trying not to panic...

I’m not sure how many DPO I would be, but my period was due last Friday (1st Nov) and I tested positive on Tuesday 5th, was a faint-ish but very obviously line, think I’m just over 5 weeks. Since then it’s got slightly darker each day but this mornings one seems slightly lighter. Should I be worried? I’ve had no ble...
