Hi ladies!
Normally I don't ask so many questions on forums and such, but I'm really curious about your opinions now!

About 3 months ago I stopped the pill. And I usually expect my period around the 3rd of the month. Sometimes a day earlier, sometimes a day later. Now it's December 21st and there's still nothing..
I took a test after being 2 days late, and it was clearly negative.
And I took another test after 10 days. I glanced at it briefly and saw nothing. I threw this test in the bathroom trash can and the next morning I wanted to empty it. My eye fell on the test and I suddenly saw two lines.. Now I know that a test isn't reliable anymore after a certain time, but what's your experience with this?
I only have one Action test left, which I want to do tomorrow morning.
What's your further experience with the Action test? I mostly hear good things about Kruidvat from people in my circle.

Thanks in advance for thinking with me!
Love

    If you're really pregnant, every test will be positive. We often want to know too soon, which leads to testing too early and getting negative results. Did you get a regular cycle right after you stopped the pill? Because you won't be the first person whose body takes a little while to get back on track.
    Good luck! I'm really curious!

    Thank you so much! Actually, my cycle was already pretty regular from the start. For my first pregnancy, it was a drama; even with the pill, I couldn't get any regularity. I got pregnant at 18. So we already have an amazing boy who's almost 9. But after that pregnancy, I always had very regular cycles, both with and without the pill. I had prepared myself for it to take a while, so this was a real surprise?

    Lovely that it went so smoothly already. And how wonderful that after all this time, there's another little one coming. My kids are now 6 and 8 and are experiencing this pregnancy very consciously. They're already such big brother and sister, and it makes me super proud as a mom. I can also focus nicely on the pregnancy now and really enjoy that little one again later.

    That's so nice! Another mom with kids of different ages
    At first, I really saw the age difference as something very negative, but my son keeps asking for a brother or sister so often that I think it'll work out fine! He doesn't know anything about it yet, haha.

    Funny. My kids also really often asked for another brother or sister. It seemed so fun. They were also really excited when we told them. And now they are really sweet and helpful and can't wait until their sister is really born. It won't be long anymore... but still. I wish it would go faster.
