Has anyone had a HSG test before and has gotten pregnant after the test. Supposably it helps wash fallopian tubes to increase pregnancy and look if you have blocked tubes of course.

I was told for my age (I'm 36) roughly half of the embryos would be genetically abnormal. We just did got our PGT-A results and out of 3 embryos, only 1 was euploid. We had 8 collected, 6 mature and fertilised, 3 made it to day 5/6 with grading 5AB, 5BB and 6BB. The 5AB was the one that was euploid. Before I had 2 e...

According to Pregmate this is my second time ovulating this month… is this normal? Or could it mean something else. I’m 9DPO today. This is the strongest positive ovulation test I’ve gotten

First time collecting colostrum so happy with myself😁 with my first I was unable to BF due to being in hospital afterwards and being separated from her. Very determined to exclusively BF this time round🥰

I’m 31 + 3, just wondering when everyone will start using a birth ball?

I have started to miscarry at 5weeks 3 days and have been bleeding for about 3 days now. No clots just blood and pain. I’m tracking tests to make sure my hcg is declining but the bottom is today’s test? I’ve had a sickness bug so I’m assuming being dehydrated may make the tests look like my hcg is increasing until a...

Yesterday I had a false positive which I never knew was a thing yesterday!! From going through the mixed emotions of joy to realisation it was a false positive has broken me. Under fertility and have PCOS - Nearly over 2 years trying now I want it so bad that my heart just breaks in waves. I don’t get why it’s so ha...

Im PCOS diagnosed and have irregular periods but I’ve never gone this long without one… Last period 19th August - 4 weeks and 5 days today 0 sign of symptoms of a period! I have been weeing a lot but I don’t know if it’s all in my mind. I have also not long ago been on holiday for a week (5th-12th Sept) which you ca...

How accurate are these ? I had a miscarriage about a month ago and I haven’t gotten a period yet. My store ran outta strips and the history I have with these I’d get a flashing smiley for a couple days and then it’ll go back to a blank circle. Yesterday was negative and Today I got a flashing smiley so idk how accur...

Hi ladies! So I’m 12months post partum in a week and I’m weeing all the time! I had my daughter via C section 5weeks premature and I haven’t weed this frequently since I was pregnant with her. She has also been doing the downwards dog midwives tale and I’m quite nervous. Last month I came on my period early (photos...

Has anyone else had social involvement in their pregnancy and how did you get them off your back. They’re concerned because I’ve been in adoption myself and I’ve been through certain situations which lead to trauma

Am I missing something? Vance and other Republicans are wanting to encourage people to have kids but at the same time rejecting the right to IVF. Make it make sense please?

Today I’m on first day of missed period, and 2x tests today are showing faint lines. I’ve been testing since Friday night with early detection tests - some were fainter than others, but always a constant faint line. Not hugely getting darker each time but today I think so…. I did a urine pregnancy test yesterday at...

Hey girls it’ll be a year in October since we’ve been ttc so this cycle I thought we’d try tracking ovulation with tests instead of relying on app predictions. This is my first time using ovulation strips dose this look about right would you look at this as a low reading?

hi, i’m 11 weeks PP and still haven’t had a period - my health advisor recommended taking a pregnancy test which I have just done at 5pm and came back negative- should I do another in the morning or is my period taking this long normal? i would really appreciate some advice thank you

I had a miscarriage on the 25th August 2024 and had a negative test 2 weeks later and I've had no period since but I had just had a positive pregnant test but I feel like the line isn't really progressing. See tests below hcg strip one was on Sunday and the other one is today.

Hi ladies! Does anyone else ovulate without having egg white cervical mucus? My ovulation strips shows I’ve ovulated but my discharge is barely existent and not egg white consistency. Is there any way to correct this? I wonder if it’s why we’ve struggled conceiving. Thank you so much!

I have no idea what day this is.

Ttc for baby number two my cycle is all wonky. I have no idea what day this is

Hi! This is the first time I’m tracking ovulation because I’m still breastfeeding my 9 month old and my period isn’t regular. Can someone tell me if this is common for the LH levels at the beginning of a cycle? I understood that the LH levels would be continuously raising but they’re all over the place. Many thanks...
