Got a faint positive today, i.e. 5dp5dt, on a clear blue (10mg sensitivity) test. I was planning on doing another test tomorrow, and then sharing with my husband in a small celebratory way. Is it too early? Or should I wait longer to tell him and/or celebrate?

I would celebrate. Faint lines mean you are pregnant. False positives are rare.

For sure I would, but I also want to protect his heart. While I share each pain, each happiness, and am generally quite transparent, he on the other hand takes it all in

In my experience at least, holding back from sharing probably won’t make a loss hurt any less. Today, you really are pregnant, and it’s okay to be happy about that and share with your husband if you want to. Wishing you all the best 🫶

I’m sorry you had experience where you miscarried. I hope it worked out for you eventually 🤍

Having gone through IVF and had a previous loss, I would celebrate each milestone!

I'd share! I did have a chemical pregnancy with my first postive. I wasn't planning to tell my husband right away but couldn't keep it to myself, and I was happy I did. It was reassuring to see his excitement.

They aren’t offering an increase in base pay and giving me the responsibility of management without the title. Yesterday, I received a PIP is this retaliation?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.
