12DPO

I am 12DPO and the easy at home test is still negative. I am a bit more worried than usual because we BD every day of my fertility window. I worry about trying in the future if this often did not work. Could I still get a positive?

Implantation bleeding

I’m 11 days DPO and believe I’m experiencing implantation bleeding (hopefully🤞🏻). Will there be enough hCG to show positive on a pregnancy test IF it is implantation bleeding? Or should I just wait ? I’m so impatient 😂 For reference, I’m not due on my period for exactly a week. TIA x

My birthday

So my family keeps asking what I’m doing for my birthday this year and I keep telling them nothing since my son should be here and I need to focus on him. They say I shouldn’t start neglecting myself for the baby. What would you do?

Latest positive date?

What’s the latest anyone has received their first positive test? I don’t think I’m pregnant, tested 10DPO negative with FRER and I guess I am being hopeful that maybe it’s too early but my periods aren’t always bang on time so I don’t wanna get my hopes up if I don’t come on on the predicted day etc. Thanks in advance

Chemical pregnancy

Anyone had one of these? I tested positive Wednesday and then done digital Thursday and it said pregnant 1-2 weeks… I then done another three tests including today and the line was next to nothing, so I just done a digital and it said not pregnant. I am heartbroken 💔
