Do you think acupuncture actually helps with IVF success and pregnancy rate?

Hi everyone. I had a MC in August. I got my period back in September but it was much longer than normal. It started off with light bleeding and then got heavier like my normal periods. In total, it was around 11 days of bleeding 9/19-9/30. I had unprotected sex 10/7, 10/8, and 10/9. I feel like I would have had a po...

My husband and I are trying to conceive. After 6yrs of no luck I'm starting to feel hopeless. Praying 2025 is our year. Mom of 2. 13 yr old & 6yr old boys.

I think the reaction people have when I talk about how much I love motherhood and parenting is crazy. Why is it so normalized to bad talk being a parent and how hard it is? Rarely do I hear parents mentioning how much they enjoy it and that it’s made their life so much better. Here and there people say they love the...

Hi TTC mums Am I ovulating please?

We recently moved up north, away from all our family and friends (3 and a half hours away) because we just couldnt afford the rental prices down south, and then found out we’re pregnant two months later. Has anyone else had an experience raising your first baby away from everyone you know? I’m terrified!

How many DPO were you when you got your first positive. Aka- how early can I test and get a vvfl? 🫣☺️💕

Ttc first (probably only) baby for 1.5y. PCOS and don't ovulate. We just spent the weekend with our friends and had a wonderful time with their baby. It was amazing, but it also hurt deeply that we don't have that ourselves. Just needed to get that off my chest.

I’m 11days post MVA for my mmc at 6 weeks, I’ve been using Ovulation strips out of curiosity and 2 so far have gotten darker over the last 12-24 hours

Has anyone got any recommendations as to how I can find out if and when I’m ovulating! I have to force my periods with Provera at least 3/4 times a year but I want to understand why I’m not ovulating on my own 😣 it’s like a fucking kick in the teeth been TTC for 3 and a half years 😰

First day when I tested I saw positive faint line, now I can hardly see it. Also had cramps yesterday… and today my tender breast eased off and I’ve started getting more spotting than usual.. someone help x

I’m supposed to get my period tomorrow but I’ve taken a test today. I remember the first time I’ve tested for my first baby my positives were never this dark. Could it be that I ovulated earlier?

Hello! I just took this and I'm pretty sure I already ovulated but it's showing positive and pregnancy test are showing negative. So I guess the question is this a positive ovulation test :)

am I imagining the line… or is it actually there very very faintly? (I have Tested 4 days before missed period. The wait is killing me 😄)

How long has it took individuals/couples to conceive with a donor sperm ? Have you used more than one donor ? Because you have not conceived ? Trying to understand everything sorry

I’ve taken this test out of curiosity this afternoon, I’m only 11 days post MVA, could it be my hormones from miscarrying or am I legit near to ovulating this soon?

Has anyone filled for Child Abandonment to terminate other parents rights? I’m trying to figure out how that works my baby is 6 months old and her dad has never met her or wants to so I’m thinking about filling for termination of his rights since where I live if you go 6 months with out trying to see your child of p...

The hearts show only unprotected sex as we aren’t officially trying just not always preventing 😂 I tested on Saturday and was negative.

I was using clear blue early detection tests for 6 days. The line was getting progressively darker. Now I’m at 4 weeks 5 days and switching to my pre-mom regular pregnancy tests and the line just isn’t as dark as I would like. I know early detection tests can detect less hcg but just want to see if this looks normal...

Hi all I tested positive two days ago, so I’m very newly pregnant. Now I’m starting to get my head around it feeling real, I realised I have no idea what I am meant to do next and how I go about getting a scan etc! I have set up a doctors appointment next week but is there anything else I should be doing? I live i...
