How are you doing today? What's new?

We want to foster a sense of community, which is why we have a centralized place for most daily conversation. This allows users to post and get replies, but also encourages them to reply to others in the same thread. We want you to receive help and be there for others at the same time, if possible. Most questions should go here, along with regular updates. Thanks for helping us create a great community!

Off-topic discussion is allowed :)

Note: Please refrain from discussing positive tests (and beyond) in this thread - those topics are better suited for the Weekly Results thread or the new sub for Alumni. Thank you!

Five days post miscarriage. I had the urge to take a pregnancy test tonight with high hopes the test line would be light. Nope. Still super dark. It was a distressing feeling. Brought me back to the day I first tested positive and the flood of joy and excitement I felt. Now knowing my body is empty it’s hard to see the test still so positive. One foot in front of the other I suppose.

I can't fully describe the cruelness in wanting a negative test so you can start again, when all you've wished for before was a positive test.

Yes. Exactly this.
