I just want to have some baby dust sprinkled on me.

I have been trying to get pregnant for over 2years now and it seems like every time I take a test when I feel like I am it’s just always negative and I had 3 miscarriages before I got pregnant with my first so it’s so hard to wonder should I just stop trying?

9 DPO first positive after ectopic in April

I have never gotten an indent or false positive with these tests, so I'm thinking it's real. Of course, I fear that this could be another ectopic, and I know it's so early and nothing may be seen on an US. I just wonder if anyone has gotten a positive this early and it be an ectopic pregnancy? I'm nervous because I'...
