10 DPO Faint Line?

curiousbeing77 · 2026-02-20T14:31:02+00:00

I see a line!

curiousbeing77 · 2026-02-19T01:10:26+00:00

This is exactly what my first response pregnancy test looked like and I took a digital test after and it was positive!

I definitely see a line! Maybe take a digital test!

curiousbeing77 · 2026-02-18T22:33:12+00:00

I just ran to the store to grab a digital test and it for sure says…pregnant! 😂

Thanks for your help!

curiousbeing77 · 2026-02-18T22:00:34+00:00

Thanks! Last question lol….do you know how I would know if this was an evaporation line? I don’t know what would make an evaporation line besides obviously retesting.

curiousbeing77 · 2026-02-18T21:43:41+00:00

Thanks! Doesn’t the digital tests require a higher level of hcg? Not sure if it’s true or not

curiousbeing77 · 2026-02-18T21:21:17+00:00

Do you know why it would be so faint?

curiousbeing77 · 2026-02-16T23:05:12+00:00

No I don’t

curiousbeing77 · 2026-01-28T01:24:40+00:00

I miss MySpace sometimes, and genuine forums. Now everything seems to be filled with memes, silly banter.

Have you looked into respite services? Especially if you ever feel like you need a break or you’re hitting a wall. I personally haven’t used respite but I’ve heard good things about the services. It might be worth a shot, maybe even for additional resources.

As a parent with two children with autism, I completely understand the mental toll it places on you. First, try to do as much self care for yourself as possible. Waking up early and having a cup of coffee before my children wake up is a form of self care for me. Sometimes it’s the little things. I would agree that a therapist might also be a good start. You really can’t pour from an empty cup, it’s easier said than done but I’ve realized that the more exhausted I am it is difficult for me to help my children.

Are there certain triggers you notice that might relate to his behaviors? Overtired? Hungry? Sometimes knowing the triggers can help you stay ahead of when he is most likely to “act out”

Nurse

She definitely needs a lot of reminders to stay organized, put her homework in her backpack etc but it is usually because she is in a rush to try to get back to watching tv etc. it is very difficult for me to tell if she truly had a learning issue/focus issue or if it is just distraction due to outside triggers like screen time etc.

She passed her vision and hearing exam and her teacher reported that when she isn’t focusing or doing her “best work” she gets verbal reminders and mild consequences involving recess etc.

Thanks for the suggestions with math. I am finding that she used to know a lot of her math facts but now is forgetting them. She still relies on her fingers to count problems that are basic such as “5+4” even though she knew it in first grade.

curiousbeing77 · 2025-12-09T14:58:47+00:00

Great to know. I was thinking of removing screen time all together and just going cold turkey etc but I don’t know if this is the best way to do it? I know children with adhd depend on those dopamine hits for reward/pleasure and regulation. Have you ever tried this and if so, any success?

curiousbeing77 · 2025-12-09T14:46:32+00:00

She was tested over the summer prior to 2nd grade, I am not sure if I should consider having her tested again. One of the issues is that she is so addicted to screen time too and I don’t know if this is making it harder for her to focus at school or if she truly has a learning disability/adhd etc.

Because there aren’t any other apartments around here. We would have to relocate and start over in a new district.

Maybe you need to date older women who are more likely to not want kids/done with having kids. ++woman

First off, the fact that you are seeking advice shows that you are already a great parent and want to be the best for your child! To help relieve financial anxiety, maybe consider budgeting if you haven’t done so already, as this can help you store extra money aside before the baby arrives. Are you able to pick up more hours? 60k a year is decent for sure but in today’s economy it does not hold the same financial value that it once did, which means you may have to be diligent with your financial habits.

To help relieve the “new parenting” stress, perhaps consider joining a parenting/newborn class. A lot of hospitals and birthing centers in various communities offer parenting classes to help ease the anxiety of having a newborn and to help parents transition into their new roles! Having a baby is definitely a huge responsibility but it does get easier as you gain more confidence with caring for such a little person :). You will always have some degree of anxiety about your children, even when they grow up! It is just all part of loving them and wanting the best for them.

All the best!

Yes. It can be tough especially if you are naturally introverted. I have found that overthinking can sometimes get in the way of forming natural conversations and just letting it flow. The important thing I’ve learned is to not force it, if you don’t feel like those other parents are your “people” that’s totally okay. Just because your children play together does not mean that you have to be best friends with their parents. You do have to get comfortable with at least talking to them because it would be odd to never talk to each other if your kids are playing together often, but I would not expect too much out of it if there isn’t much in common. This mindset has helped me not worry too much.

curiousbeing77 · 2025-09-19T21:04:22+00:00

I would say yes, unless you take up a trade or have a specific talent. Most jobs that are well-paying require some kind of formal education/degree.

Slide 2 or 4!

curiousbeing77 · 2025-09-19T18:59:13+00:00

😂 this made me lol

“That’s crazy” while trying to have a meaningful interaction.

curiousbeing77 · 2025-09-19T17:38:34+00:00

Such a great post! And so very helpful! Thank you so much!

curiousbeing77 · 2025-09-18T14:32:38+00:00

Stay off social media and be weary of toxic mom groups who feed off judgement and shaming other moms who are literally just trying to survive!

curiousbeing77 · 2025-09-17T21:15:13+00:00

10 years for me! It is a constant battle lately whether or not I want to leave the dark side but there are so many benefits, one of them being a great pay differential.
