First period PP

I'm 8.5 months PP and I'm pretty sure I'm getting my first period after pregnancy 😒. I have PCOS and have been curious when I would, but thought maybe it wouldn't happen until I was done breastfeeding. I know it's probably so different for everyone, but if yours have started again and if you've had multiple kids…

The frustration

I am so disappointed in my body at the moment… I’m cycle day 25 with no ovulation yet. I haven’t had an LH higher than 0.4 this cycle. I’m just so annoyed that my body isn’t doing the right thing and I feel like I’m getting myself so worked up about it all. I truly feel like giving up and I’ve on been ttc for 4 mon...

Anxious!

Hello! I’m new to this group. A little background: I had my first fresh transfer on the 22nd July and my first positive on the 31st. I have had some bleeding, which of course freaked me out - but it has stopped and I’m still testing very positive. Annoyingly my funding doesn’t cover the costs for a beta blood test...

Trying for another baby

I had a baby at the end of December…. Is it bad that I already want to start trying for a baby again? How long did you wait/ want to wait? If you had your babies close together did you have any complications??? Edit: Thank you everyone for the comments. I think my ovaries just need to chill out. 😂😂😂

Progesterone Support

I am currently 5w3d and was told by my fertility clinic that my HCG numbers are rising beautifully. My progesterone sat between 14-17 and my last blood test it fell to 12. The nurse told me it’s not worrisome until it falls to 10 or below but ideally they want to see it above 15. So they offered me progesterone sup...

Hot Take: Saying "Get Solid Starts!!" In response to literally every post asking for ideas, suggestions, or thoughts is not helpful.

Incog cause I'm not looking to argue 😂 I don't care if you take offense or not, it's unhelpful and most of us already have the damn app. Solid Starts is not The Bible, calm down. Sometimes we like to hear actual ideas and personal suggestions rather than a parroted response that makes you sound like a damn…
