Why so long?

Hi all, I'm exactly 1 year down the line since my ectopic and left tube removal. We have been trying ever since with no luck. I hear people falling quite quickly after theirs. It keeps making me question is there something wrong with me. Will we ever get our chance for family?

Early positive?

First month trying for baby number 2. My period isn’t due until Monday so I have done the test too early (it’s not an early test kit). Am I going crazy or is there a line? It’s more clear in person. Picture is within the 10 minute window.

Second ba

Why is the decision to have a second so difficult? Is it just me? Phewww. I am 35 (just) and my son is 3 (also just!). Deciding whether to have another is way more difficult than deciding to have a baby at all I think. My concerns are money, space at home, tiredness, THE STATE OF THE WORLD. What did everyone else...
