So, I haven't had a period since March 3rd. I've been desperately trying to conceive a baby but have had 3 MCs in the last 2 years. I've been having the most ridiculously faint positive tests for the last week but here not getting any darker. Has anyone experienced this? I have tried so many different brands and all...

How does it make you feel?

Trying to express concerns and get advice from peers or other women or parents to revive a response of “just wait till… they are here, till they find their voice, till they are walking, till they are a teen”

When did I ovulate?

So I had a miscarriage 4th March and was tracking ovulation after bleeding stopped but never seemed to get a positive.. I found out I was pregnant (before period) 6th April. Did I ovulate around 21st March? As that is the highest test I got (even though doesn't look like a positive)

First “positive” post MMC

Can I just confirm I’m not having line eyes and the clear blue is positive. My partner and I were both fully convinced last night we can see lines in both test. Not sure my period until Sunday. 1 year post miscarriage and just started our journey towards IVF, so if this is positive it’s amazing!

Parenting issues

I’ve just listened to the ‘Oh Crap’ podcast episode about Tiny Dictators and had the realisation we’ve just been doing everything wrong and I feel so bad for my daughter cause it’s not her fault. I don’t even know how to go about correcting things or where to even start 🤷🏻‍♀️. Has anyone got experience of putting…

Group B strep test

Hi y’all. I’m 34 weeks with my 2nd - do you know if you get tested for strep B every pregnancy? I was negative for my first and I have no reason to think I’d be positive this time, just curious.

Help!

Hey, I’m 4 weeks & 3 days pregnant, I’ve just done a test (around 19:05pm). Does it look too faint to you? I took this pic around 10/15 mins after it was done. The lighting sometimes makes it look lighter than it looks on the pic! I’ll attach some pics of my past tests aswell.

Early Test

I have been throwing up and not feeling the best this last week. I also been going to bed really early. I just took this test about 10 mins ago. I still have 5 days till my period so I took an early test. About a minute or two after I peed on the test it showed the faded line. What does this mean?
