Only been getting faint positives tests. Took them both in the mornings (first wees of the day) so wouldn’t have thought diluted or anything like that. I know today’s seems a bit hard to see, but there’s definitely a line there. These are both early detection tests, my normal strips don’t give off any positives. B...

Wanting to know if pushing is hard ? 😩😭 ugh since there be so many experiences I wanna know how it was for you and how did you push ?

Bottom is ovulation test. Inverted posted in comments. I don’t see color but I’m tripping.

Please can you share what protocol you did for your FET with endo and had success? I am supposed to be doing HRT but am concerned taking estrogen with endo is a bad route to go down!

Ladies, I’m sure I’m paranoid. Does anyone else stress over their pregnancy test line progression? My line doesn’t seem to be getting darker like everyone else’s. In fact, yesterday’s seem visibly lower. I just had by hcg run this afternoon. So I’m hopeful for some relief tomorrow!

We did PGT A testing but was wondering if it is worth it. Did anyone ever implant an aneuploid embryo and it worked or know what the odds are that an aneuploid embryo can be successful? Thanks!

Hi guys, I did my follicle growth scan after first letrozole cycle. There are 5 dominant follicle and the size ranges from 10-12mm. I am just wondering if this is normal. I don’t have regular periods and have pcos. So I think I might take some time to ovulate and it’s bit early for me. Is there something to worry? A...

Hi all! We are hopefully starting ivf wi the TFP Oxford very soon. Please can you let me know how long the wait time was from starting and any good experiences with them?

I’m hoping I’m not alone. We tried for this baby, we are excited and I have love for him. But for the last couple of days I can’t stop the thought of ‘what the f*ck am I doing’ Why did I decide to have another, why am I doing this, is this a good idea?? I’m really frightened.

Top was taken yesterday in timeframe. Bottom was tonite

Is this positive with a vvvfl or is this just a evap line I’m freaking out I’m 4 months postpartum

I’m ready to start trying for baby 2, call me crazy haha but always dreamt of babies close in age. Problem is I have polycystic ovaries, however I have a healthy BMI and no insulin resistance, just the cysts on ovaries causing irregular cycles!! Baby 1 was a complete surprise bc of this. Was wondering if anyone has...

hi all. i’m just hoping for some shared experiences from people who have had disappointing results at egg collection and embryo development during ivf. this is my first cycle, and my response to stims has been unexpectedly poor. i only got four eggs (out of 9 follicles which grew pretty unevenly) and only two were s...

According to my app I’m 4weeks 5 days and 15DPO, feeling nervous but very happy!

How long did you have positive tests after a chemical pregnancy? I started bleeding Saturday after multiple positive tests. I’m not sure what to do this cycle. Just don’t bother testing once I stop bleeding ? Check for ovulation? or will any remaining hcg effect that?

Anyone else not able to get some colostrum 38 weeks 😭

I ovulated on the 22nd September. I've been doing ovulation tests after and they got super faint until Saturday. Since then they've been really dark, no matter what time of day I take it, it's really dark, these are from the last 2 days. I'm due on next Tuesday. I took a test at 9dpo and 10dpo and they came back neg...

I am waiting for my FET. Because I had to have another procedure unrelated to IVF, my doctor gave me progesterone pessaries for a week to delay my period and start the FET cycle right after my procedure. The issue is, I stopped the pessaries a week ago, and no sign of my period whatsoever… I took the pessaries for ...

I had surgical management 3 weeks ago today and testing my HCG out since. It’s going down but not gone totally. I ovulated this week so we started trying again but I’m worried now about retained tissue..

Does anyone here have short cycles? I used to have longer ones 33-40 days but since my last baby they completely changed. They’re around 22-23 days now, are these classed as normal? I have been temp checking and I do get a rise so I think I ovulate but I’m going to start ovulation strips this month! I’m just concern...
