Early Pregnancy Tests Might Mean Twins

This is not solid evidence, but it seems some women expecting multiples can get positive pregnancy tests earlier than women expecting single babies. My earliest pregnancy test was 12 DPO (days pass ovulation) and taken with a first response early response home pregnancy test with my second pregnancy. My test was also very faint. (You can see my pregnancy test photos under My Positive Pregnancy Tests and Ultrasounds section under pages). On my mommy message board, three ladies were expecting twins naturally. There was one mom who was expecting her second set of twins and got a positive pregnancy test at 9 DPO (days pass ovulation). She also got results on a digital pregnancy test, which is said to be less sensitive.

 It isn't a golden rule, but generally a woman can expect to see a positive pregnancy test the first day after her missed menstrual cycle, which is usually 12-14 + DPO (days pass ovulation). Also HCG levels vary in different women, thus meaning an early test may not necessarily mean twins. Another mom said she got a very positive pregnancy test at 11 DPO (days pass ovulation). "Very" positive means to me the pregnancy test was not a faint positive and the lines are dark. The two lines are easily seen without being tweaked (manipulation of a positive pregnancy test picture to confirm two lines).

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
