What do we think? Line eyes please

I’m 10dpo. Had what I thought was a maaaaybe vvvfl last night. I took two blue tests with first morning urine today and this came up within the 10 minute time frame. So slight I may be going crazy. My period is due in 3 days so it may just be really early? Should I try a digital? I’ll add another photo in the com...

2 or 3 DPO HELP!

Okay, so I'll have my FF chart in comments. I got a peak (solid smiley) on the clearblue advanced digital on CD 18 and a VERY DARK peak pregmate opk on CD 19. Which one do I go by? Also, I think my bbt is showing 3dpo, but I've been a little under the weather so I'm not sure what to think!

How to get through the wait for the post mortem?

I can't stop thinking I did something to cause my baby's stillbirth. I had GD in first pregnancy (even though I passed the glucose tests) and maybe it was the cause this time (this time they werent concerned as no sugar in urine?) Also had itchiness and swelling, but again they weren't concerned as blood tests/ ex...

Consultant led

I'm consultant led with my second baby due to having a traumatic birth with my first baby almost 2 years ago. I thought with consultant led you would have regular appointments and check ups with the doctor. I haven't seen a doctor since 14 weeks and I'm now 25 weeks. My next appointment isn't until the 27th December...

She is 6 weeks today so should I be following along the 6 week milestones or 3 week milestones (as her real due date at 40 weeks would have been ...

Midwife experience

Wondering if I’m alone in this experience or if anyone else feels really let down by their midwife. I saw a midwife at my booking appointment, she was great and took her time. I then had to move borough as I’d change GP/moved house. Since then I’ve seen my midwife twice, at 21 weeks and at 25 weeks. There is no way ...
