Tracking ovulation for the first time

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...

3rd and final IVF cycle. 3 embryos

Hi everyone, after our third and final IVF cycle, we ended up with 3 blastocysts, which have now been sent for PGT testing. I'm feeling really nervous because we've never made it this far before. We switched clinics for this cycle, and the new doctor primed my body with vitamins and a nightly 3-unit shot of Omnitrop...

Geritol with TTC

Has anyone successfully gotten pregnant taking geritol? I saw it on tik tok and thought I would give it a try. I started taking it a couple days ago on the first day of my period. It says to take it your whole cycle and the saying is there is a baby at the end of every bottle. Just wondering if it has worked for any...

Faint line or am I losing my mind? 😅

Hey y'all! So I've been having some pretty frequent symptoms these past 3-4 weeks, with nausea being a BIG one lately. To the point where I've actually been feeling like I'm going to vomit + I have to rush over to the bathroom. I took a test just now even though I'm still about 14 days out from getting a more accura...

How long after chemical does period arrive?

Tomorrow is my first day of missed period, and I’ve taken probably 6 tests in the past four days. Some have been early detection, some not, and all of them have had a faint line. The line isn’t getting stronger, potentially lighter. Today I did a urine test at the GP who immediately said I wasn’t pregnant within m...

Birth Certificate: don’t judge me 🫣

I have a 3 month old with soon to be ex partner. He went on holiday when our son was 3 weeks old and only told me about it 2 weeks before the holiday. I decided to go ahead and register our sons birth without him (UK) so he is not in the birth certificate. He’s not really on the ball with these things, however 2 day...
