If you saw a toddler running towards a busy street and his 8 month pregnant mother running after him yelling his name and for him to stop but she clearly couldn’t catch up to him, would you stop the child or let him run by you?

This happened to me this morning and my neighbor wouldn’t even help. I couldn’t help but think she is racist because she’s Asian and I’m Black. She looked right at me as I ran by her and wasn’t even phased. I’m so disgusted by people who are racist. I wanted to punch her dead in her f****** face. UGH 😤

Baffled by the Premom app

Absolutely baffled by my ovulation tests. First month using them & the premom app, but I track my cycle on clue, and it predicts that I should be ovulating tomorrow. Been testing at different times of the day to try and get a feel for what works best, but they seem all over the place. Thought this mornings looked s...

3 months no period negative test

I’ve booked with the go for bloods but while I wait I just wanted to post and ask anyone if they ended up being pregnant or if another reason came out from this? I’ve had heartburn for weeks! Sore breasts.. no period. Head aches. Few little cramps but nothing like periodic cramps. My periods are usually regular may...

Ovulation tests

Hi mommas/mommas to be! I’ve been trying to conceive baby #2 for a while now and have had 3 miscarriages in the process. I recently started ovulation testing but I’m confused because I didn’t get a peak.. I do get ovulation pain on whichever side I ovulate from and it happened on CD16 so I think I ovulated but these...

Got my BFP yesterday (DPO 12)!!

What a whirlwind I’ve experienced. In August I went to a new OBGYN to get labs drawn due to a few irregular cycles. I was diagnosed with POI (FSH 60 AMH 0.03) and started to explore my sisters as donors. My husband and I (getting married Wednesday) figured it was worth trying on our own. I pulled out all the stop...

failed first round, successful second round?

hi all. i’m just hoping to hear insights from anyone who went through a first round of ivf which failed but then went on to have a successful second round. i’ve just come out of a disastrous first round (poor response to stims, only one embryo, transferred at day 3, didn’t stick). i’m about to embark on round 2 and ...

Trying for number 2 when first was IVF

Is anyone in the same boat of starting trying for number 2 (naturally) for a while when your first was an IVF baby? I’m finding it harder than I expected this month and don’t feel like I can really talk to anyone about it other than my husband. Would be good to connect with someone in a similar situation.

Explaining death to a child

So unfortunately my grandad has passed away and I'm struggling to think of a way that is suitable to explain to my 7 year old. She loved him so much and I know it will be hard for her as it is me but I just can't put the words together to tell her.

Considering a 2nd

Hey girls, just wanted some advice for anyone who's got more than one. My little one is 3.5 months now and it's took us 4 years to conceive her. I'm wondering what it's like having 2 close together as if we're going to do it, it would have to be soon because of both our ages and also making the most out of being hig...

Something there?

We’ve just been approved for NHS funding for 1 round of IVF and are waiting for news from Nurse Planning Team about when we can get started. I had bad cramps 2 days ago but no period yet so thought I would test on the off chance. I am around 12dpo and this was not from first wee of the day. Am I seeing something tha...

Positive or evap line?

My friend took this test this morning and there was no line and she left it on the counter and came back later on and there was a line! They had sex the day after predicted ovulation (pull out method). She is 2 days before predicted period right now and is having some cramping too. Positive or evap??? 😅

IVF and cyclogest

Anyone done IvF and on cyclogest pessaries? I’ve been told to stop them at end of week 8 (in a couple of days) but everywhere I read says longer. I asked my doctor to confirm and she just keeps saying end of week 8 but it feels too soon. Anyone else had this? X
