Positive

Just read someone say that Clear blue are known for false positives. I took this test yesterday but haven’t done a different one. Should I do another one? This turned positive straight away

15DPO, 1 day late on period and negative pregnancy tests

I'm never late but digital test says not pregnant. I think they're meant to be pretty much 100% accurate. So depressing knowing my period is coming!!

Positive test but bleeding? 😞

Have any of you ladies had bleeding in any of your pregnancies? And everything was okay? Or had bleeding after your positive pregnancy test? I know I'm grasping at straws but just wanted to hear some positive stories. Just not sure what's going on. Just sad at this point.

To all the moms who have decided to have only one child.

I currently have a one-year-old baby. Although I often think about wanting a second child, I somehow don’t feel ready for all the sacrifices that come with it. I love children and truly believe they are a blessing, but I don’t think we could financially support two kids while living in the U.S. One income simply isn...

Pregnant or not?

Period is due today but hasn't come yet. It is always bang on time. Did a digital clear blue test yday and it said not pregnant so feeling deflated as this is month 3 of trying. The packet says it's 99% accurate a day before missed period but do we think it could be wrong? Just holding on to any hope I can

Help, I’m so confused

I was taking ovulation test strips for the first time this month, and I stopped when my numbers started going down after my peak. But I decided to test again today because I had a lot of clear slimy discharge and was really in the mood for sex which are signs of ovulation. And my test today is darker than my peak…3 ...

Staring at this pic for hours 🙃

This is my first test in my TTC journey and initially I thought it was negative but have been reading that this faint line could actually mean positive? I’m supposed to start my period in 2 days. Thoughts & insight welcome 🙏🏼

Very confused 😕

Took a regular test, saw a faint line… decided to take a digital & it said “not pregnant”. My friend told me to open it, I did & you can clearly see the two lines🤯 so I’m confused why would it say “not pregnant”😫😫

Would you prefer for your child to spend their early years surrounded by adults (grandparents, aunts, uncles) or by peers (like a nursery setting)?

If you had the privilege of both options. Any reasons? Obviously there will be crossover in either case.
