When do I start exploring ivf? 2 miscarriages

I don’t seem to have any trouble getting pregnant but I’m 2 for 2 on miscarriages. I just learned this morning that ivf can help people with recurrent miscarriages. I always thought it was just for people who can’t get pregnant. I’m already 35 and trying to be proactive.

Apps have different ovulation days

The easy @ home app predicts my ovulation to be 2 days before the natural cycles app. TTC is hard enough, adding two days to it is sooo much. And according to one app, we didn’t baby dance on ovulation day but the other we did. I’m so co...

Late ovulation?

Hi all I miscarried in January and had my first period arrive on the 6th Feb. Flo said my prime ovulation day would be the 17th Feb but my partner was away for a week from the 16th.

Second birth with no help

Hey mums, I'm curious to know what people do when giving birth to a second child when they have no family or friends to mind their first child/children? Does the husband just not attend the birth?
