Community Posts, Tips & Support on Trying to Conceive

11 DPO? Sore breasts since Sunday but that’s it really!!

It’s hard trying to conceive It’s hard waking up everyday feeling empty It’s hard seeing people pop up pregnant when they aren’t even trying or even wanting to be pregnant It’s hard seeing that 1 line every month It’s hard being happy for everyone else announcing It’s hard taking every pill or drinking fertility t...

Has anyone struggled or are struggling to get pregnant? It’s really getting me down cos I’m not getting any younger and we wanted a small gap between our children and it just feels like it’s taking forever. It’s currently been 5 months which I know might not sound long but I fell instantly with my LO. I’m 38 now ...

I'm 6dp5dt and I had one pregnancy test taunting me in the drawer so I decided to take it just to get rid of it thinking for sure it would be too soon to get a positive result! I'm definitely beyond shocked. We've been ttc for over 4 years...it doesn't feel real. My first beta is on Friday. Anyone else test before...

Hey everyone, I’m 37 +4 and have a two year old. I have not felt the urge to nest at all (I was the opposite with my first). I am too busy taking my son on days out and enjoying our time together plus I clean anyway but it gets messy again. Has anyone not packed their hospital bag and washed all the baby clothes? Wo...

Anyone trying for baby number 2? How old were you when you tried? How was it? Thinking of trying for baby number 2 atm but unsure as baby is only 5 months she is so calm sleeps all night and is a legit angel how were you experiences and is there anything I can be doing to help getting pregnant?

Is any one on here a sugar baby? How do I become one 😫

Hi everyone, I’m back to TTC, trying for baby number 2. This is our first cycle, CD11 at the moment so a few days away from ovulation. Where is everyone else at?😊

I am 42 that really concerns me

Have you bought any bits for baby? When are you planning on buying bits? People tell me I should wait till at least 20 weeks but I like to be organised and I don’t wanna rush things later on in the pregnancy. But then I’m so worried about tempting fate 🙃

Me and my partner are deciding whether to start trying for baby number 3. We’ve got a 3 year old and a 5 month old. I want to start trying in January as to get it out the way then we can start enjoying life with our 3 babies. But my partner wants to wait 5 years then have another… How is having 3 little babies? How...

I need to stop 😂😂😂another three today. Feel free to share pictures maybe it will ease the urge to keep testing 🤨🤨🙈 Day29 of cycle, still so early. (4w+1)

My husband just got his sperm analysis and it was all at the very very bottom of “normal.” Technically only the motile count is “below normal values” but they are all at the extremely low end of normal… how worried should we be about this? Is ICSI likely? What can we do to fix this? Our doctor won’t be available to...

I’m having a pity party if anyone wants to join? I’m on blood thinners for low PAPP-A, have got Gestational Diabetes and am on tablets for that plus blood tests 4 times a day (where I bruise like a peach because of the blood thinners) and the worst sciatica so am currently clinging to my tens machine. I can’t rest a...

In shock! Not supposed to get my period For 2 more days. Took a test bc my boobs have been sore and I have been feeling out of breath the last 2 days. VERY faint line - will test with clear blue later. Had a missed miscarriage end of February - praying this sticks !!!

Hi there so a bit of background. I was loosely diagnosed with ‘possible PCOS’ last year - I wasn’t at the time TTC it was just that my periods became really infrequent. All my bloods came back normal but a scan showed some cysts hence the loose diagnosis. In the last 6 months I have been TTC but it’s been hard a...

My husband and I are so on edge if we want another baby or not. If we do decide to have one I’ll be having our 4th baby at 26 and he’ll have a 4th baby at 25. How did you decide if you wanted another baby. I’ll have 3 under 3 and let me tell you having 2 under 2 was a big transition and difficult.

My baby is 16 months and I want a little girl

Any tips on trying for a baby girl lol. I have a boy already, but I would definitely like to have a girl 🥰

I've only just started TTC. Is it normal to not be able to imagine that it could ever happen for you? I'm worried I'll never be able to get those 2 lines and I've not even finished my first TWW!
