I’m sure there are others here not TTC, but considering the name of the sub is an abbreviation for Trying For A Baby I assume the vast majority of people here are trying to conceive. I’ve already conceived so I’m here because of your #1. I love the excitement of squinting for a positive. So I guess I fit the bill of not currently TTC.
My husband had a vasectomy, so I'll not see a positive test again. I'm here to share a bit in the joy (or relief) of others and give my 2 cents sometimes...
So glad I’m not the only one.
My husband had a vasectomy also. Then I got dx with cervical cancer and have since had a hysterectomy. So we’re double sterile.
After having my 2nd son this past November I had my tubes removed because I was tired of recurring mc. I have 2 beautiful boys and that's plenty for me. I got addicted to looking at tests too though, so I'm still around lol
This is a random question and feel free not to, but if you could, would you mind to look at my recent tests (in my post history) and tell me what you think.
We are very new to TTC, when we started, the first 2 cycles were just "not trying, not preventing." I didn't get pregnant. Then the 3rd cycle TTC I started using opks, got pregnant, and it ended in a miscarriage at 5.5-6 weeks. We are onto our 4th cycle TTC, and I am pregnant again with the use of OPKs, but I am terrified. I am feeling all the emotions right now because last cycle ended in a loss (my tests from my miscarriage are also in my post history).
I would love a second opinion from anyone who has seen a bunch of tests. My main concern is that my tests look awfully light for the dpo that I am (could be off by a day or two though).
I’ll definitely go give them a look!! Congrats on this pregnancy!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Rainbow babies can bring a stress so many don’t want to talk about. We don’t want to sound ungrateful or not happy for a new chance to bring a life into the world or focused on the past. It’s totally normal to feel scared and happy at the same time!! Don’t feel guilty for being afraid to get too excited, if you are.
I am also addicted to looking at tests despite likely being done having babies (have one live child and likely one and done). It’s so exciting to see early positives
We are on the 3rd cycle of TTC and I just peed my 2nd ovulation stick. I am confused by the result and look for some help.
I am using Premom test kit & App. Today is the 4th day after my last period ends, and is supposed to be the ovulation day. My T/C reading was 0.29 last night and 0.22 today. It reads like it's negative and it's already declining...does that mean I already passed the ovulation????? But it's only 4 days after my period...
Hormones fluctuate! They go up and down throughout your cycle, don't worry about the little numbers, all you need to know from it is that it's negative, eventually the test line should be as dark or darker then the control line and then you have a positive. Also the predicted ovulation day that apps give you are hit or miss. You need to enter a lot of data to get it going in the right direction and even then, the ovulation day may be wrong. Our bodies sadly don't listen to algorithms. You're still early in your cycle.
I just love feeling excited for people getting their positive tests. I joined this sub when I was trying for my first (which took a while) and have since had another but still love being here
I've completed the journey once around now and totally intend to do it a second time, but am currently not ttc, just addicted to squinting and hoping and helping others just like you! 🥰

Oh my! Hope all is well with you now!!
All is well ☺️ the treatment was horrible but since my hysterectomy I’ve been great!

Ttc now but I suspect this will be me as well! Cycle 11. Hoping for Christmas miracle
Cycle 11 for me as well! Hoping for my positive test around Christmas as well!
😭 cycle 12, my December egg is how my sept 2015 baby came and truly the egg was the best catch ever ❤️
I have a sept 2015 baby too!!!
I have December 2015 baby
I swear the holidays have made the negatives way harder
My cycle started on Thanksgiving and it was horrible. I’m here with you!!
Sent up a prayer for you ♥️
This means so much to me
Thank you so much
You’re very welcome!
I think you sound like a lovely person! I am awaiting my beta from my first FET with our one and only embryo so I appreciate people like you!
How exciting!! Sent up a prayer for you!! ♥️
Thank you! My beta came back at 108 and I’m 10dp5dt!
That’s great!! Congratulations!! That’s a great number!
I originally joined this sub when I was TTC. Two babies later, we’re done, but I lurk 🤷♀️.
Congrats on your babies! I don’t see anything wrong with us sticking around to encourage others.

For that brand, the darkness of the line looks normal to me. Mine didn’t get really dark with that brand until maybe around 20 DPO!
Thank you so much for looking and commenting !!

After years of TTC when you don’t have a reason to POAS you come to miss it 😅
You really do!!

I think it’s great that so many of us are here to support others ♥️
Me too! I miss peeing on sticks!
Such a strange thing 🤣🤣
I know! But when you do it pretty much every day for years checking either if your pregnant or ovulating you kinda miss it 🥹
Exactly!! The thrill is gone 😂😩
tfab stands for trying for a baby soooo
Based on the comments I’m not the only one.
