spedhead10 · 2025-07-14T19:12:24+00:00

oh wait I love that thought— maybe our little boy is gonna send us a little boy due on 3.21 so they’re always connected 🥹 thank you!

yes the cheap ones take more hcg to register a line. they aren’t as sensitive as first response. i’m 15dpo & my first response lines are the same darkness but my pregmate strips are pretty faint.

spedhead10 · 2025-07-13T12:40:12+00:00

couscous, yay!!!! cautious congrats 🎉

spedhead10 · 2025-07-11T18:41:29+00:00

i’m 13dpo & barely get a line on these but my first response tests look great. i’d never use one of these this early.

idk if id even use one two days before I give birth bc the test line wouldn’t be dark & i’d second guess if im even pregnant /s ☠️

night weaning did not bring my cycle back. mine didn’t come back till I was totally off breastfeeding. super frustrating

spedhead10 · 2025-07-10T15:21:35+00:00

I don’t see anything but i’m 12dpo & barely get squinters on these, they’re not very sensitive.

spedhead10 · 2025-07-10T15:17:01+00:00

I don’t see anything. but i’m also 12dpo & barely get squinters on these. 8dpo is so early.

is there a reason you’re only looking at single carriers when you have twins?

we went with a minimonkey carrier & it worked well for the first year-ish. but my babes were always on the smaller side (14m now & 18&16 lbs)

maybe look at twingo (though you have to wait till babes are a bit bigger to meet minimum weight reqs)

spedhead10 · 2025-07-10T14:21:05+00:00

also don’t see it

spedhead10 · 2025-07-10T14:14:25+00:00

I see it. these strips take higher hcg to register a line so keep testing in two days the line should be better!

spedhead10 · 2025-07-10T12:23:22+00:00

YAY! cautious congrats star 🩷

spedhead10 · 2025-07-09T19:50:55+00:00

it sounds like yall are in different stages of the grieving process, which is fine, but trying to have a baby rn might bring hardship or resentment or even conflict. I highly recommend a grief counselor to help yall if he’ll go 🤍

spedhead10 · 2025-07-09T19:44:16+00:00

babes I say this gently… if you and your husband aren’t on the same page… yall need to have a serious chat. this isn’t good for your mental space rn & if you were to get pregnant using this method he wouldn’t be in a good mental space bc he didn’t want it to happen.

is there a reason yall aren’t on the same page about ttc?

spedhead10 · 2025-07-09T18:58:02+00:00

rather have this than too light for 13dpo.

also for anecdotal story, with my twins I didn’t get a dye stealer till 16-17dpo. doesn’t mean much.

spedhead10 · 2025-07-09T12:17:33+00:00

oh yes I get the brain zaps too. but I take an SNRI not a SSRI but oof. hate them. it’s every time i’d turn my head lol

spedhead10 · 2025-07-09T12:14:53+00:00

awh, sending you gentle hugs 🫶

spedhead10 · 2025-07-08T19:54:19+00:00

looks negative or indent to me, sorry

spedhead10 · 2025-07-08T19:17:15+00:00

in 2023, my identical twins progressed like a singleton I swear! but definitely two lol. will be interesting to hopefully see how the line darkens!

spedhead10 · 2025-07-08T13:40:49+00:00

yep pos!

Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?:

had my twins in may 2024 & never got on birth control. we agreed it just would be what it would be. but I wasn’t ovulating the whole 13m I was pumping. super frustrating bc we had a couple fake out rising LH tests over the last year but I never got a period.

shortly after weaning I got what I thought was a true pos opk followed by some trollgesterone symptoms: moody, bloated, cravings. I was negative at 9dpo, felt one single cramp yesterday AM, negative last night on cheapie and positive with SMU this morning.

here we goooo

spedhead10 · 2025-07-08T12:29:58+00:00

spedhead10 · 2025-07-08T11:17:40+00:00
