Switching formula

My babe is currently on Similac total 360 and we have to switch to Similac advanced because of wic. Has anyone had their baby on the 360 and switched to the other one ? I’m scared my boy is gonna have a bad reaction to it but i also read how similar those 2 formulas are…

Has ovulation happened/happening ?

Due to ovulate tomorrow according to my app and it's my first month of letrozole to make me ovulate so I did a test today and not only did it have two lines for the first time ever it has a darker test line!!! Does this mean I'm actually ovulating now and the medicine works?

9dpo & negative test

Took a clear blue early test and negative. Feeling really deflated. Could there still be a chance?😭 I’ve had on and off light cramping, fuller breast, dull ache in my lower back as well.

Pregnant??

Do you guys think this is a positive (early but positive) test? I see a faint line but all my friends are saying no it’s not a line and it’s not strong enough etc. You apparently don’t get weak lines like this no matter how early?

Am I alone?

Anyone else feel themselves losing their minds thinking about ttc and not being able to think about anything else? Second guessing every little thing my body does. Convincing myself I’m pregnant at only 3dpo even though I know that’s ridiculous. Wish I could switch my brain off for a bit 🙈

UK Passport

We’re getting our passports and it has asked us for my maternal parents details, but I don’t know my “real” dad would you just leave it in blank or fill out my step dads?
