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 think I want to start trying for baby #4. My first 2 are 15ms apart and both are preemies, also have a genetic condition. Baby #3 is full term and no issues. 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...

Tested negative this morning but have spent the past few days dry heaving/ feeling like I am going to be sick but not and off my food and low pelvic cramps. I am a few days off my period- it is on the early test threshold. Would you say to test again in a few days? So horrible as it’s coming on in waves. Has any...

Hey mamas! I have my 6 weeks appointment on Friday and would like to get the IUD. I’ve been reading about the differences and I’m leaning toward the copper one because it’s non-hormonal. If you have an IDU - what kind? Any complications? Can you still breastfeed? Thanks!

If I’m 5 days past ovulation can I test ?

Am I out for this month?

I'm 4 days late, I'm usually pretty regular, so I've tested for pregnancy twice, both negative. We've been TTC so I'm getting my hopes up a little, but I'm also ill, so I'm wondering if that's just messed up my cycle.

Said I wouldn’t get deflated but actively trying for months and checking can be a lot 🫣🙈… started taking “vitex” and the LH strips are a lot higher… anyone got pregnant yet in their late 30s with tips?… ive heard keep warm, relaxed, coq10, vitex, postioning etc etc

So last night I did a clear blue ovulation test and it was the solid smiley face. We tried last night but because of my shift pattern today we won’t be able to until 9pm… will I be too late to be in with a chance? I’m worrying I’ve missed my chance but we did it last night 😩

am i crazy for wanting to get pregnant again already 🥴😂

Hello ladies! All my clear blues are positive (all the way from early detection to just normal week by weeks on as you can see) But these cheapie pink dye tests are still giving me a run for my money 😂 they’re all positive, but just very faint! The clear blues are getting darker etc and I can see a line…

I wish more people would share on how long they have been trying for a baby. My hubby and I have been trying for 9+ years, and still no luck. If you have been trying for as long as we have, please share your story. Please share whether or not you are pregnant, too. I would love to hear some 9+ years of ttc journeys ...

I did the first one with my 2nd urine of the day and the 2nd test which is negative on my 4th urine.

I’m considering trying for a second now and wonder if anyone advises for or against it judging from experience. My current is 14 months

My period is 3days late, both kits and blood test shows negative. Has anyone experienced this? I am confused.

So I was told by my doctor I was possibly pregnant. Bloodwork came back negative. Took home test they are negative even after 9 days late on my period. I had some light pink blood when I wiped so I thought finally here’s my period and hour lately went to the bathroom and there was no blood on the tampon. I’m lost fo...

Hi guys, I’m wondering if I’m just a lunatic or if anyone else is already looking forward to trying for/ having another baby haha? For the last few weeks I’ve had increasing thoughts of wanting to get pregnant again, I’m researching baby names and finding myself thinking through the logistics of 2 young babes, imag...

We’ve been trying for nearly around 6 months and still nothing. I haven’t been testing ovulation or anything like that, and we generally have sex whenever, I’m not sure if we’re having too little or too late when we bd ? We haven’t changed anything fully. But we don’t know the average time it takes. We will probabl...
