“She’s the best patient.” 😂😂😂 why do I relate to this so hard I take so many tests and am constantly consulting “Dr. google” I feel so much better knowing that even an experienced and wise OBGYN does the same thing as me ❤

9:53 - Our Own Early Testing

Help! My usual cycle is between 31-34 days. Today is my 35th day and still no spotting or menstruation. I'd assume it's now a missed period. Can I now take a pregnancy test? Or is it too early?

What if you are FET day 7 and negative is that typically very accurate

Not recommending at all to test before your due date to me it’s cause me yoo much sadness to have a positive at 10 dpo that turn to have my period at the day they supposed to be and get sooo confused and a doctor told me about a chemical pregnancy early miscarriage so if I didn’t tested that cycle I wouldn’t know I would be pregnant to lose it the day of my period so period on my side I prefer test 2 days and more of kate period i have cycle of 26 regular so if day 28 no period that’s where i tested for my first 3 babies so this avoid confusion yes miscarriages can happen too early after testing but it’s less common once you are late period then test before you have very high chance that positive turn a chemical one some people will tell that chemical pregnancy are also rare but not do rare so if you would test each time your period is late give you better hope for a pregnancy you can and up with 3 positive 3 months in a row and end up having your period yes age stress low quality sperm eggs cause this so that’s my opinion and my story now im waiting my period supposed to be feb 22 so my ovulation was feb 8 days 12 +14 waiting 26 cycle days so 11 days waiting and if in 13 days nothing comes tgat where I will test

I followed the "Oliveanda Narrow" pregnancy plan. when my partner and I made the decision it was time for a baby. Numerous lives have become better due to this plan. I discovered that I was getting pregnant after 3 months of following the formula and eating a healthy diet plan. Despite being in the older parental age set, this particular program has changed my whole life around.?

Is getting your period a week early a sign of pregnancy? Mine came a week early while on my contraceptive patch but it was a bit lighter than usual and now i have symptoms of pregnancy too

Thank you for being honest about taking home pregnancy tests like a nutbag. I just had my 5-day blastocyst embryo transfer on 9/20/23 and tested yesterday on 9/22/23 which wasn’t even a full 2 days. Of course I cried like a deranged woman. I’m trying so hard not to torture myself today. Your video explained things more throughly for me than my nurse has explained. She was intentionally avoiding my questions to dissuade me from doing home pregnancy tests but reality is many of us cope with anxiety by taking stupid home pregnancy tests which can be oddly comforting and also disturbing at the same time. I find out truth on 10/02/23 when doctors office will do the blood test. I have 2 more pregnancy test strips in my drawer lol 😂

Hi i did use the depo shot but me and my partner decided i should stop now . We had unprotected sex almost everyday. It is 3 weeks now after my last date i was given last month to get my next depo shot . But like i said me and my partner decided i should stop taking it. And in the second week after i had cramping , firts day it was just cramping,second day 1 or two drops of brown spotting and light cramping and the same happened the third day.

But the third day was the last of the brown spotting. As days went by up until today i get light cramping sometimes in my blader but doesn't last long without any spotting or bleeding. I also experience a light cramp/prickly feeling on the left or the right side of stomach mostly when i lay down .I also feel nausea without the urge to vomit,but anytime of the day especially at night .


One thing i also experienced in the second week is feeling very emotional i would cry my heart out the next moment i will be happy .

I am also losing weight now because sometimes i don't feel like eating . I would go a day without eating and not feeling hungry .

Please help me,at first i thought this is ok because i am about to get my periods when i felt the cramping the first day. I would really love to know is this part of the side effects when you decide to not take the depo shot anymore .

What if you do a three days transfer, when do expect to do your test

@elizabethdawonde5991

I took one pregnancy test yesterday and four today. And they all showed a very faint line. I'm 11 days past ovulation. Could they all be evaporation lines? They all showed up within the 3 minute time frame.

She is so annoying. She needs to not make distracting impatient faces when the other doctor partner talks. I hate it when people do that. It's so rude.
