Help, advice and stories please

This mornings test was a lot lighter and started spotting. I’ve just taken another test and it’s darkest I’ve had. My brain hurts and I’m forever feari...

I feel so stupid

This might be lengthy, but I’ll try to make it quick and hope it makes sense… so bear with me and brace yourselves. Back in 2016 I was diagnosed as infertile. Later on in life I chose to become a single mother by choice and had a baby via IVF using donor sperm. I went that route after many, many failed relationshi...

Digital dating tests

I did a digital last Friday which said I was 2-3 & my test today still says 2-3. Albeit I’ve took it in the morning when my tests are normally stronger in the afternoon. Should I be worried? I don’t have any cramping or bleeding etc but I honestly thought my digital would be 3+ by now 🥹

Positive or negative

Delete if not allowed! So I just took a pregnancy test and waited the 5 min like it said to. I’m 8 1/2 months postpartum and I’ve had a few periods but none of them have been regular or on time. I took the test on a whim because I was supposed to get my period two days ago and I’ve been really tired and moody obvio...

Positive or negative?

We’ve been tracking my cycle since December and trying to get pregnant but no luck. I’ve also been using an app to track my ovulation as well, but apparently I don’t know how to read an ovulation strip. The first one is from 3 weeks ago, the second is from a week ago and the bottom 2 are from today and yesterday. My...

Yes or no for both test?

Took an ovulation test and pregnancy test bc we’re trying for baby #2 in a month or so and not sure if/when I ovulated I’m still pumping but not nearly as much since my daughter is now 1. I’m not looking for it to be positive just yet.

Endo surgery

Has anyone had endometriosis surgery prior to going through IVF or even after? Did it improve the egg quality? I’m switching doctors for my next IVF and she may suggest getting a surgery before we start the cycle. I’m not sure how I feel because some say it could potentially do damage than improve but some say the...

Am I not ovulating?

This is my first month tracking ovulation after 8 months of trying to conceive without. I've been tracking ovulation everyday since my period ended and I've never had anything darker than these. It seems quite late to get a peak any later given my cycles are around 33-35 days longer. Am I just not ovulating and is t...

Imposter Syndrome

Okay, I’m just curious how others have handled this. Is it normal to feel some imposter syndrome around the mom title. For background my little man is speech delayed and not saying mama yet. Adoption is not finalized yet. Petition filed awaiting court date. But even when other people (ie. nurse, therapist or passers...

False positive??

I tested on the test on the left but the T line appeared first with a faint line before the urine reached the C line then the c line appeared. Then retested again with the one on the right showing a negative. Thoughts?? Is it a false positive or real?
