So I had 2 test come back like this where it’s a obvious blue line but really skinny to the point you can’t notice it untill your close up. These was early detection I’ve got some normal ones and there 100% negative but obviously if I’m only just showing on early detection no way I would show on normal. But would th...

Do you expect your family to check on you during your pregnancy? I guess my siblings and I dont really check in on each other even when I am not pregnant just kind of expected they would be curious or show more concern since I am pregnant. Sometimes I feel like an only child even though I have siblings.. were all ju...

Hi! So this is the second time I have used Premom test strips whilst trying for our third baby. Last month I got over 2.0 whilst testing for LH. But this month so far seems a bit odd. I know I ovulate later as that’s how it’s been first and second time. But can I ask, what’s your thoughts on this?

Hello! My dr just started me on Vraylar two days ago and this morning I had a very positive pregnancy test. I’m a week late and we’ve been trying for a baby so I’m super excited but I also know antipsychotics can sometimes cause false positives. Just wondering if anyone has had a false positive test on Vraylar.

Those of you who had your first child in May 2023, how have you found parenthood so far? Of course, I’m sure you’re besotted with your little one but I’m personally finding it extremely hard (the good days are the best days but those bad days are the hardest) Does it make you question whether you could realistically...

I’m ttc my first baby but no luck and on month 4 now. feeling really sad and don’t know what could be wrong. I have regular periods and both myself and partner did tests and all seemed fine. How long did it take everyone to conceive their first baby and is it normal it hasn’t happened by month 4 :(

If you’re planning another baby, when do you think you’ll start TTC? Not sure when best age gap would be, pros & cons to all ages!

Hi guys, I know this is probably a hard one to give a blanket answer to but typically how long does IVF take when you go private? Starting from the consultation? Also, if anyone has any input on how long funding takes (roughly) from the point in which your partner is diagnosed with MFI I’d be so grateful. ❤️

The top test was 12 hours ago this morning, it was showing as blank when I first took the test but when I looked again a few hours later a faint line has appeared. Has anyone had this appear after and it not be an evap line? Do evap lines look different? Thank you 🙏

On the 23rd my hcg was 13.6. I’m on cycle day 39 my cycles are 35 days long. Testing every 2 days this is my 2nd draw and it’s 53!!!

Random question (which maybe very silly lol) do any of you lovely ladies ever burn candles while baby is around? I love a candle at this time of year but have been reluctant to light any due to baby being up?? Not sure if I’m over thinking it or just not worth it

After a year of trying and two miscarriages at the start of the year, I'm finally pregnant!! I took a test this morning and it turned positive in seconds... It's never been that fast before ever!

Want to be buddies so we can test together? When do y'all plan on testing? I plan on it at 10dpo. But this wait is so long!

Is anyone thinking about trying for baby number 2 soon or currently pregnant?

Is this positive or indent taken within 3 minutes

I’m gutted my clear blue tests have no progression if anything a little lighter, I’m 11dpo too😢 new test in comment

a) “You’re spoiling your child.” b) “You need to be stricter.” c) “Are you sure you’re doing the right thing?” d) “Just wait until they’re older…”

Hey guys! Sorry for the lengthy post! I wanted some opinions on this and hear about some of y’all’s experiences. I went to the ER on 9/22 and found out that I was having a miscarriage. By 10/5 I had a negative pregnancy test and my OB gave us the clear to start trying again. Earlier this week I started having sympto...

Does anyone have any experience with breeding? We have a soon to be 4 year old American Akita and my partner wants to start breeding him. I don’t know much about it but he said he’s struggling to find a breeder. Our dog is also starting to ‘leak’ if you know what I mean 😬 any suggestions on what we can do?
