2.4 hcg

Hey mommas! I had a very faint positive, so I went to the doctor to do a blood test. My levels came back as <2.4. Does that mean negative? Or will my levels increase as it’s just too early?

Cervical position

I have just had a positive pregnancy test at 10DPO. I know it’s early but my cervical position is still low and hard? Is that still normal for this early stage or does that not matter?

Baby no. 2

Is anyone thinking about baby 2 yet? Me and my partner have both said we want another one but are unsure as we don’t want to take the attention away from our 1st. He was born in July so he would be around 18 months if we fell now. any one got 2 close together? How did you find it?
