I just don’t know if I see anything? I’m beginning to lose all hope - on Month 8 of TTC 😭

11DPO … filled with anxiety.. scared of a chemical pregnancy & potential ectopic 😵‍💫 .. Constantly watching my line progression 🙏🏻

I’ve got a first cafcass hearing in a week, any advice on what to expect and how to prepare? Any moms have been through this and how was it for you? I’m really anxious because I still battle ptsd symptoms due to the father’s abuse and I’m worried about how will I do during the call. TIA xx

I’ve been trying for 6 months now and I’m feeling really deflated about the whole situation. Trying for my 2nd baby.

I am 8dpo. I had a missed miscarriage earlier this summer & I feel like the only thing lifting my spirits is the thought of trying again & falling again soon. As my period is due on Sunday & I tested today - negative. I just feel down in the dumps again& let down by my body :( Anyone else feel like life is on stan...

I guess I’m just brain dumping as I can clearly see a second line on the below tests (photo taken within 3 mins!) - I am 11DPO today and this is my first positive test since we sadly miscarried our first pregnancy in early March. We have been TTC since then with no luck. I guess I was NOT expecting this, this mornin...

Is it really hard to have three kids? I have two and I’m pregnant right now. The transition from 1-2 felt so hard. I just found out I’m pregnant and I don’t know if I can handle 3

Hi mums, I finished my period today so when do I have sex to TTC?

It’s so hard man, the constant anger & tears, I literally don’t know what to do and just keep putting the tele on. I used to take her out when she was frustrated, now she’s angry in her pram too!

I am so overwhelmed and devastated. I got my genetic results back showing I am a carrier for CF. My husband is getting blood work tomorrow to see if he is also a carrier and I can’t stop worrying about it. I’ve cried so much today. We won’t even know his results for another two weeks and it just feels like torture.

Hi ladies, Sat here on my 4th cycle trying since getting back to TTC after our ectopic pregnancy in April. And I can’t help but worry about my remaining tube and if it’s working ok😢 Have you successfully got pregnant since your ectopic? How long did it take? Xx

I'm a FTM and just curious: What's the average for women having their first babies, these days?

Hi Ladies Hope you’re all doing well. So I’ve been trying to conceive for a year and am just not getting anywhere. I’ve never had a positive test. Been tracking ovulation and have had blood tests from the doctors, which have confirmed I’m ovulating. I also was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2019, but was told that...

My bub is 14 months and I'm thinking of trying for #2 but in 2 minds about it. Give me the honest truth!

Hello I'm hoping to connect with a few future moms who are wanting to plan for parenthood. For context I'm not pregnant or trying, and would be great to connect with a few ladies who are in a similiar space but can of course be further ahead in the process :) As a first time mom I want to share budgeting template...

How soon after your toddler was “looking” for a sibling did you find out you were pregnant? My 8m old has just started looking between her legs. We aren’t actively trying to conceive another. But we aren’t opposed to one either.
