Is anyone starting ivf soon. We have first nurse appointment 22nd October and taking norethisterone till 25th so hopefully will be starting stims end of the month. Anyone else???

Hi could anyone share with me their ivf experience. I know I will not know exact dates abd everyone is different but just trying to get an idea for appointments as I'm going to be telling my work that I am starting ivf and I want to be able to give them as much info as I can. I have had 2 consultations with bloods...

Hey all! I’m just wondering if any researched the theories such as diet etc to eat before conceiving for a boy and if anyone did this and did it work?? Thank you 🤍🫶🏻

Can someone tell me if this looks positive or not? I’m only 10dpo (ish) at the moment so not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me🤦🏻‍♀️ thank you❤️

I’m a white woman I’m 19 and I’m having my first child. The father of the child is still with me. And a lot of strangers when they find out I’m pregnant with a mixed race child assume that I’m just fetishising black men. And they also assume that I’ll be racist to my own child or that I won’t treat them the same. Is...

I'm watching Little fires everywhere and it's really got me scratching my head on what opinion/whose side to take. Children are always going to seek out their bio parents, but I'm also really mad about what the bio mum did, I don't care about the reason why. Who leaves their BABY on their own at night in the cold...

I feel fixated on the fact everyone says your hyper fertile after MC and all those stories of people getting pregnant before first period or on first cycle. I feel so extra hopeful it could happen straight away, which would make this hurt less… But, after our last MC in 2021 it took us 5 months to conceive again an...

I went through fertility treatments the conceive our daughter. We went through 2 rounds of failed IUIs and then IVF did the trick! I got pregnant at 40 and delivered in July at 41. I so want to have another baby to complete our family, but I know that time isn’t on my side. Are there any older moms who’ve had succes...

Hi all, I just had my third failed medicated IUI (blood test is meant to be Friday but I already have my period today). Before I next meet with the doctors I would like to be armed with as much knowledge as possible in case they try to argue for a fourth IUI before moving to IVF. I have mild endometriosis confirmed ...

Is this positive or what because I am confused rn I am 8 months pp

Is this pos or neg? We have been using pullout and avoid fertility week method.

Last week said I was ovulating and today I have white sticky on my vagina that normal

I just had my baby via c-section in May. Last week I had a positive test…anyone else out there in the same boat? I’m so nervous for my body and the baby since I’m so new postpartum… (Yes I am aware that I could have done better to prevent this 🫠)

Hey, currently trying for my second baby. I already have a little boy and I would love to get pregnant with a little girl as this will be my last pregnancy. I know you cannot predict what sex you might have but I’ve heard of the shettles method and wanted to know if anyone has tried this and successfully had a baby ...

It’s just not happening. 6 months in since my MC. I’m not sleeping, I’m fixated on every twinge in my body, everyone around me is getting pregnant, every time I come on here I see positive pregnancy tests and I just want one of my own. I just want to cry. I’m 10 dpo. I know we’ve failed once again. You can say ‘I’m ...

Hey ladies, so iv read that breastfeeding can make your LH high, which might throw off an ovulation test if I’m using this as a tracking system, below is a pic of tests, I know the middle isn’t OPK but for me it’s very close, but too is 10pm middle is 3am and bottom is 10am - the surge has never come up and gone awa...

Did this test last night and it was negative after the 3 mins on the box so just left it. Saw this morning it has these lines. Now I know an evaporation line can appear so I’ll need to test again however I feel like if I look closely there is a faint second line there as well? Is there a chance I’m pregnant?

Do you think my chart looks normal? I found my peak but I feel like my numbers seem quite high still compared to what they are like normally after my peak? Also my peak wasn’t as strong as I’ve had before either. Pic in comments of previous chart!

FMU this morning, I thought I had a VVVVFL two days ago in the afternoon but yesterday’s test I’m sure was stark white. But this I think I can definitely see!

My period is 3 days late and ill be doing a pregnancy test tonight. Need some hyping up as im scared haha. Can someone tell me loads of positives for having another baby this early on? My first one would be almost 2 when the second one would come.
