Feeling sad :(

I’m ttc my first baby but no luck and on month 4 now. feeling really sad and don’t know what could be wrong. I have regular periods and both myself and partner did tests and all seemed fine. How long did it take everyone to conceive their first baby and is it normal it hasn’t happened by month 4 :(

Candles

Random question (which maybe very silly lol) do any of you lovely ladies ever burn candles while baby is around? I love a candle at this time of year but have been reluctant to light any due to baby being up?? Not sure if I’m over thinking it or just not worth it

What are the next steps when you go to NHS for struggling to TTC?

I got pregnant straight away with my 2 year old, but second time around it’s not working out that easy for us. Interested to hear from others what the next steps are when you go to the GP after 12 months of unsuccessful ttc? Like what testing is offered?

Restricted growth, possible TTTS.

Please share positive stories of your babies that have had TTTS. I’m honestly so scared at the minute.

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...

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...

Would you offer to donate your eggs to your cousin?

My cousin who’s more like a big sister to me has been struggling with infertility for the past 2 years. She’s 41 and has tried every avenue to have a baby on her own. She looked into egg donors but hasn’t successfully found one and I’m considering offering her mine. Curious about your thoughts..?

Did parenthood become easier or harder when you had a 2nd baby? (Read below)

I have a 2 y.o. and she’s very VERY depended on me, she doesn’t let me do anything and always wants to play together. Making food is difficult for me some days. Drinking water. Going to the washroom by myself. I’m wondering if having another child will make it easier or harder for me? Will she then adjust and become...

Has anyone given up but still comes on here to support others?

I was exhausted coming here daily during my TWW. Posting tests swearing I saw a line and looking back I was definitely delusional. After 6 months of testing and trying, I’ve given up. Is there a group designed for us that gave up ttc?

I’m a bit confused

I had my daughter a year ago and after about 8 months of having her we have decided to try for another but it’s been about 7 months and still no luck … I thought once you’ve had a baby it was ‘easier’ to conceive I’m just worried somethings a bit wrong/off with me
