Ok don’t come for me as it’s probably a very stupid question but I need to go out to the shops & it will be my first time solo with my son. I need fuel as didn’t realise I’m running on fumes 😅 do you take baby in with you to pay? I don’t like pay at pumps as have had my card cloned and large sums of money taken…

We have been trying for baby number 2 since November last year. I’m really struggling mentally and worried I have secondary infertility. I know I am so lucky to have a child and we are incredibly grateful for our little girl that joined us in August 2023 but I so desperately want to give her a sibling. I’m so scared...

I think I see something or im also 8 dpo but I think its negative but at the same time a faint line very picture after 3 minutes

Hey, I’ve done numerous pregnancy tests and all have had positive dark lines. I called the GP as I was constipated and bleeding from back passage and he suggested I did another pregnant test for my own reassurance but was convinced i am not miscarrying as my blood was one wipe only. I’m 5 weeks pregnant I’ve now got...

Does anyone else find doing IVF lonely ? And a little isolating ?

The reason for us having to have IVF is due to my partner having a low sperm count. Thankfully everything is looking good on my end! 🙏🏼 Has anyone here been through IVF with their partner having a low count? How did it go?

First time using ovulation tests, is it normal for them to be this low at this point in my cycle. I usually have a regular as clock work 28 day cycle but it keeps pushing out my expected ovulation date

We've been trying to fall pregnant for what feels like forever. After a ridiculously long waiting list for a semen analysis we finally got the devastating news that my husband's sperm count is 'critically low' we did another 2 tests privately and unfortunately these both came back with similarly devastating results....

Please comment: How do you feel about another kid, now that your kid is only 18 months old and you loved them the most till now? Do you feel you won’t be able to give same attention to the first kid once the baby comes?

I tested 5 days before my expected period almost 15 dpo. And got the negative test. Are there chances of still being pregnant? Anyone experienced something similar ?

Does ovulation happen around the time that it normally would in the first month after a chemical pregnancy? Counting from the first day of miscarriage bleed?

Has anyone tried Peak Performance Fertility Drops? I started a week ago on it but I’m not sure if it actually works. I miscarried in May and have been trying to conceive.

s this positive or negative. Not actively trying and have a freshly 8 month old 😩 Tia x

Can someone help me I’m 3 days late I’m spotting and my spotting color is brown nd light red and I’m confused bc it was negative but now it look like this and also before I took the test i took 2 and it was postive but the rest was negative

I’m so so so impatient I want to test so bad but I know it’s most likely gonna be negative but it’s my birthday on the 22nd so I want to find out before then incase of having a drink. Is there any tests that could possible pick it up this early?

My period is due tomorrow, I tested last night three times and the lines turned to double pretty much straight away, it would only make me like 4+3. I feel nauseous, have cramps, temperature and diarrhoea I het most of these symptoms before I’m due on. I’m soo anxious🙈😩, in case it’s a false positive?. I haven’t…

I was told I was anemic two months ago, was started on iron supplements 65 mg every other day and was finally retested and these are the results, I’ve tried calling to talk to my dr and was told she would either call me back or send a message through my chart but I haven’t received anything yet and from what I can t...

Hi all awaiting midwife to reply but just concerned. Iv always been O negative blood group and was told few months ago baby was also O negative but iv just had my 28 wee blood results and it says O positive... does that mean baby or me as surely I can't change blood group ?

I’m supposed to start my injection for egg retrieval as I’m going through ivf and my insurance covers for 3 cycle and my clinic applied and my insurance denied it and my Doctor booked next month for a peer to peer. My insurance wants me to go through IUI first and my problem is miscarriages as I’ve gone through misc...

I would love to have another boy and I know it's 50/50 on that. I think I'm nuts tho.. I'm 35 and money is super tight. But I want the baby to have a sibl...
