Negative and positive test

Hi girlies, I just posted my positive but I’ve done another test an hour after (a second HCG and Clearblue) and they’ve both come back negative within the space of one hour. I’m 14 dpo and period is one day late… I’ll test again tomorrow but has anyone experienced this? I was so exited for all of an hour 😞

Ovulation?

Hello so I started metformin last month, I've been having problems trying to track my ovulation. I've seen people have super dark ovulation tests and I've never gotten close to that. Does this look good so far? My ovulation was supposedly on Wednesday but I didn't have any positive tests saying that was correct.

Is this positive

Girls I’m crying, I’m 14 DPO and this is the first time I’ve got a line. It’s really faint and not sure if this is a cause of concern at 14 dpo? Can’t get another test until tonight My first fertility appointment is in January and I just can’t believe this 😭

Difficulty getting pregnant

Hi everyone! I have a 1 year old, and have been trying to get pregnant for around 6 months now.

Nexplanon Malfunction??

I have a nexplanon implant right now. I'm just wondering if it's possible for it to malfunction, and I could get pregnant?? It expires in 5 months... I'm only a weak late, currently... and my cycle has started coming every 40 days the last few months, so I go by after the 40-day mark to be late. My stress gives me p...

Trying for 2nd baby

I want to start trying for 2nd baby but partner is hesitant.

But surely it’s never easy no matter when? I definitely want another but if he’s not sure then I’...

I'm thinking, maybe I should pause TTC for half a year and try Mounjaro injections to lose a bit of weight, not sure how long I will have t...

The term “sperm donor” for absent father

I’m putting this here as it’s the biggest group by far and I’ve seen this term used quite a lot. Using the term “sperm donor” when you actually mean absent father is quite disrespectful to the selfless men that do donate their sperm to allow people seeking fertility treatment to be able to grow their families. W...

Clearblue vs LH sticks

My Clearblue ovulation test says I’m having my peak, however my pregmate ovulation LH tests aren’t showing a dark test line. Clearblue ovulation test photo in comments. Has anyone else experienced this? Clearblue says it’s 99.9% accurate at detecting LH surge 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m on cycle day 12
