Ngl seeing all these positive pregnancies on here is making me upset cause I want to conceive so bad. I’ve been trying this month. I can’t test yet as I don’t know when I’ve ovulated. I just got off the patch last month so I doubt I’ll get pregnant. Congratulations everyone I hope I can join yall soon 😭.

10 months old and massively ‘behind’ on the weaning journey. Worried that I’ve not yet given LO any of the big allergens e.g. nuts, eggs. Anyone else the same?? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone ever done this before and they’ve been accurate? I’m really hoping I’ve got my baby boy 😍🩵

Hi, my partners semen analysis couldn’t be carried out due to “too little of a sample” they said there wasn’t enough sperm to assess the motility and morphology. Has anyone been int his position before and does this mean he is producing extremes low- 0 sperm ?

Should we try for baby today?

Got my period about 2 weeks ago which lasted 6 days. So started 13 days ago and ended 8 days ago. We’ve been TTC so bought ovulation sticks and the test line has been super dark purple for the last 4 days since I started testing. Hence I assume I have ovulated this week. Would a HCG test show a positive less tha...

After three years finally began my IVF journey through the NHS. Looking for any advice about the process. I’ve only just had my first initial appointment this week. Feeling excited but anxious at the same time! 🫠

I’ve always wanted a big family. It took 5 years for us to get our baby girl. My mental health has been awful and the exhaustion i felt was something else. She’s 4 months old now and its getting better. I’m just not sure whether to have another baby or not, if we did, we would want them fairly close in age. I grew u...

My tests (cheapies) are still not that dark in my opinion, I’m supposed to be 5w2d today. This test was taken this morning with FMU and I’ve still not had a dye stealer or even a test where the test line is as strong as the control on my cheapies and I’m worried that something could be wrong. Am I overthinking? What...

Just learned that it could take up to 6 months to start IUI. I was hoping 2 months! All my blood tests are clear but they come from my doctor, not the clinic. It's the blood tests that seem to take so long. To be honest, I don't care if the clinic make money through new blood tests, I just want to fastrack everyth...

TTC for our second baby, we never tried with our first as I was on the pill consistently and it just happened🤷🏼‍♀️ but we’ve been trying since March/April this year and no luck. I’ve tracked BBT and used ovulation strips every month; we’ve had sex everyday during my fertile period too. This month I’ve decided not…

I’m 9 days past my FET. This showed up after about an hour, it could have been sooner as I didn’t look at it. I know Clearblue tests are notorious for evap lines after the advised 3 minutes, but I’ve not had one this strong before. Is there any hope or am I kidding myself?

Did a pregnancy test this morning which there was a faint pink line and I did one a few hours after to see if it would show again but it was negative? It was the exact same brand. Does this mean I got a false positive?

First month tracking ovulation with LH strips, according to flo app I should be ovulating soon (main day being monday (surely I should be seeing a higher rise than this)?

I’m 4 days late so I did two of those dip tests , is this positive or too faint to be ? Should I do a proper test?

Do you see the line or am I crazy ?

Should I do one of the fancier tests I’m not sure it’s actually positive I haven’t had my period but I’m having cramps as thought I was

Would you guys say this is an inconclusive result? The line is the wrong way round?

Hello I don’t want to offend anyone and also not sure how it works, my baby won’t be christened but I want my best friend to have a part of my sons life a label as a “godmother” she isn’t christened either so I know she logically can’t be a god mother? Do any of you have important people in your life’s that have a b...
