Breeding

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?

Confused... positive or negative?

We aren't trying but I just felt like I needed to test, we do use protection (condoms) but always start without first. Boyfriend has said nothing went inside me before this, so could the first test be an evap line? It turned positive outside of the timeframe window. Flo estimated my period to be today and it hasn't ...

Really an evap line????

As above really. Taken a test this morning, nothing. Went back to it half an hour later (past the ten mins advised) and it has a dark blue line. Did another test, and a very faint shadow of a line. Wasn't sure what colour. Again, come back to it tonight and it's dark and very blue. I've tested with boots and Tesco...

What are the next steps when you go to NHS for struggling to TTC?

I got pregnant straight away with my 2 year old, but second time around it’s not working out that easy for us. Interested to hear from others what the next steps are when you go to the GP after 12 months of unsuccessful ttc? Like what testing is offered?

I've been off hormonal birth control for almost a year and was having ridiculously irregular periods so when my boobs started hurting 3 weeks ago I didn't really think anything of it.

Ovulation

You know if you get a positive digital ovulation test. Does that mean you’ll ovulate on that day? So if I got a positive today does that mean I’ll ovulate today?

Should I feel bad about having a negative test

I have a 4 month old and on birth control, had a pregnancy scare but it came out negative. I feel relieved that it was but at the same time I'm a little upset about it. Is it normal to feel like this?

If you saw a toddler running towards a busy street and his 8 month pregnant mother running after him yelling his name and for him to stop but she clearly couldn’t catch up to him, would you stop the child or let him run by you?

This happened to me this morning and my neighbor wouldn’t even help. I couldn’t help but think she is racist because she’s Asian and I’m Black. She looked right at me as I ran by her and wasn’t even phased. I’m so disgusted by people who are racist. I wanted to punch her dead in her f****** face. UGH 😤

Been testing at different times of the day to try and get a feel for what works best, but they seem all over the place. Thought this mornings looked s...
