EPT Or Clear Blue Digital?

Ok, ladies. I know many of you don't like "am I pregnant" questions, but I need your opinion about tests. We have been TTC for a few months, and today I took a First Response and got a faint positive. I have read that there's really no such thing as a false positive, so I think it probably counts, but I took the test in the middle of the afternoon because I am so excited and couldn't wait any longer! My hubby is not so sure it means a positive, so we went out and bought Clear Blue digital and EPT early result tests. I am going to take...

False Negative Pregnancy Test??

I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten a false negative on a pregnancy test? I got my IUD taken out at the end of August, 4 days later I got my period on time. I was due for my period yesterday, and still have not gotten it, and I am usually very regular, always have been. I took a test this morning, and it was negative (no signs of the 2nd pink like at all). I know I may be a little irregular since this is my first full cycle after getting the IUD out....but was hoping the pregnancy test was wrong. I felt PMS'y last week - sore...

Positive Pregnancy Test

Hello all- I just got a positive pregnancy test today- one line was faint in color- the other dark. Does it matter the color of the test? Am I pregnant??? I had 3 negative tests- and then the one today- looks like it was positive. Should I call my doctor? I am so anxious about this test. Thanks to all who respond.

How Accurate Are Home Pregnancy Tests?

I'm a week late (now 8 days) for my period. But the First Response home test (not the digital but the one with the lines) clearly says I'm not pregnant. My husband and I have been "trying" for about 4 months. I'm turning 39 at the end of this month. I had a copper IUD in previously. The month after that came out I had a 30 or 31 day cycle. Then the 3 months after that I had a 24 day cycle (exactly the same each time). Now it's been 32 days and I'm still not having a period. I know that I should just "relax" and wait another 3 days or a week...

When to Test!

I know you should take a pregnancy test with your first morning's urine, but what if you are getting up in the middle of the night to pee? My sleep schedule has been way off this past week and I have been up at all hours of the night (really getting old!) and every time I get up I pee before attempting to go back to sleep. We are on our first month off the pill TTC. My period is due the 8th or 9th. I tested this morning and I saw a very faint line. (i know, i know a day or 2 early but it's so hard to wait!!) Went back to the store for more...

Acupuncture for Infertility

I'm wondering if anyone has does acupuncture treatments to treat infertility. I have read some studies and they seem to be promising. My husband and I have been trying for baby number 2 for 15 months. During that time we've done pretty much every type of infertility treatment - clomid, inseminations, shots, etc. and have had no luck. Our only other option at this point is invitro, and I'm not ready to do that yet. I'd love to hear from you if you've tried acupuncture and if you've been successful or not. Does anyone have any...

Natural Ways to Increase Fertility

I am the happy mother of two beautiful kids. I had trouble gettting pregnant with my daughter (now 5) and had no trouble with my son (who is now 2.5, we charted, but I resumed my period after I bf my daughter for 22 mos and got pregnant in about 4mos). I badly want a third, and am not having any luck. I weaned him at 15 mos, but only got my period once. I have been under treatment for thyroiditis (but that seems to be under control now) and have even gone through several rounds of fertility treatments (clomid and menopur injections)....

How long does it take to conceive a second child?

My husband and I have been trying to conceive since April. We have a beautiful 18 1/2 month old little girl. I am starting to get a little down because it is taking so long to get pregnant this time. It only took us four months to get pregnant the first time, which we lost that baby, and only two months to get pregnant with my daughter. Its been nine months since we started trying. Did it take anyone else this long to get pregnant after there first child? Do you think it is time to talk with my docter?

To Have or Not to Have Another Child

I would like to start trying to have another baby, but my husband is totally against it. He says one child is enough. I feel like I may be starting to resent him for it and when I try to talk to him about it, he shuts down. My best friend and mother in law say to stop the BC and don't tell him, but that would be decieving him and I don't think that is the right thing to do. any advice on how to change his mind?
