Do you have active long term HPV?

I’m trying to figure out if I’m alone or not. I’ve had active HPV for years now. I’m not sure how many but maybe 7 years maybe longer. I did some research about long term HPV, and it says it can turn into cancer if your body can’t fight it off and it can turn into cancer at like 7 years. I’m pretty sure this is not ...

Is anyone else struggling to conceive baby number 2?

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...

Getting fuel solo with baby

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…

I Wish

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 ...

If you’re doing it alone would you want to have 1 or 2 children?

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

Ttc

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...

For those of you TTC who've never been pregnant before

Does TTC ever feel like a race to you.... Like your rational mind knows it's not.. but deep down somewhere, you're trying to race something, or someone, or even yourself. For me, it's wanting to be pregnant before my other friends that are planning on ttc soon. And also myself, like that if I'm trying it must be b...

4 months later

My little joy will be 4 months on the 27th. At 8 weeks I started back on Lexapro 10 mg. It helped me so much before pregnancy and I was excited to be back on it. Lately I have been off. I’m not sure if I’m just sleep deprived or I need to up my dosage to 15mg. Here is a list of what is going on.. -just a heavy ach...

Too soon to try for another baby

Is anyone trying to get pregnant or have 2 kids. I want a sibling for my child but don’t quite think I’ll ever really be ready as I had a traumatic birth and she was a colicky baby. Is there ever a right time?
