Pregnancy tests becoming fainter

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...

Trump separated mother's from their babies last time. Some kids saw things they never should have. So sad.

IVF #2

Alrighty, the time has come. Second round of IVF starting all over in February 2025. I’m nervous & scared at the same time. We ended up with 3 embryos. 1 was a fresh transfer (failed) & second time we transferred 2 embryos which ended up with a chemical pregnancy. What worked? What failed? What should I avoid d...

Trying TTC after chemical pregnancy

I unexpectedly fell pregnant and it ended in a chemical pregnancy. The thought of being pregnant did make me happy & I realised I’m ready for baby#2 Did any of you continue to TTC right after a chemical pregnancy?

Baby sharing

Did your family understand that when your newborn cried, to give him back to you so you could feed/soothe him? Or did they just try and do it themselves? And think they just need to be bounced rather than fed?

Drug test!!! Quick Fix?

I just got this job that requires a 10 panel drug test at labcorp. I stopped smoking about a month ago but still test positive. Has anyone used Quick Fix synthetic urine to pass a lab test? If so, how did it go for you? Did you pass?

Can you ladies see anything?

Both pictures taken just after 3 minutes processing and within the 10 min window. It was a cheap test from Superdrug but the plastic window really obscures my view, it looked scratched. As much as I tried squinting and holding it in different lights, I couldn’t see past it. So I opened the test up straight away. I...

IVF success stories with low sperm count?

Hi everyone! I went to a fertility clinic a few weeks ago with the intention of freezing my eggs (found out my employer covered it so thought why not?!) My partner and I are getting married in July and would love to have a baby as soon as we can after the wedding. We want 2-3 kids, so freezing made sense regardless,...

Pregnancy test after mc

Still testing positive 😔. It'll be 3 weeks on Weds since I last had my hcg blood test which had come down to a point they were happy with. I have been advised to test again on Weds. I just feel like it's still going to be positive and it is so disheartening since we want to start trying again ASAP. I have also…

I was at the obgyn office today to consult about trying to conceive for a second baby. However, when I left the urine sample (that is a usual routine for any kind of consultation) and the result came negative for pregnancy.

I am 8 days away from my period , so are we out for this month?💔 how effective are the tests in obgyn office to detect the earliest positive?
