Community Posts, Tips & Support on Trying to Conceive

Hi guys, I am about 7w at the moment and haven’t announced to anyone because my husband would like to wait until we’ve had our first scan. I am excited to tell friends and family but I’m worried about telling my best friend of 25 years because she is struggling to conceive (and has for years). I’ve read elsewher...

I’ve always known I wanted a second child. Once I was ready I came off contraception and started trying. I had some things I didn’t use for my first and just kept them for my ‘next’. I fell pregnant in September last year and started shopping for more baby clothes and other items (a whole medium suitcase full). Sad...

I always thought I'd want a second baby, but now that my LG is here I'm just not sure. She's a happy baby who sleeps well, but I'm still permanently exhausted and overwhelmed because we have very little support. My husband wants us to start trying for another but I'm just not sure I could handle pregnancy and a newb...

“Tell me what foods I should eat and what I should do!”

Hey! I had my baby girl a few months ago now , I absolutely adore motherhood. Me and my partner cannot wait to add a new addition to the family already. How long did you wait before trying for another baby ?x

My partner has smoked for about 5/6 years, he’s been a daily smoker (onea day) for about 3 years. I’ve also been smoking about 5/6 days a week (just once in the evening) for the last 3 years since i had my first child. Before that i was doing it once or twice a week for about 3 years.. i conceived my first very eas...

Hi ladies, is anyone else suffering with gallbladder issues? I want to TTC for my second baby but I'm worried there could be complications. Anyone else in the same boat?

This is what this cycle is looking like. Let me know if the amount of baby dancing is enough or if we should try again tomorrow. What do you think? Pictures in comments. Picture of ovulation tests and our calendar this month

Is anyone trying to get back into it and get pregnant again so the kids are really close in age? Or am I the only lunatic? 😅

Currently ttc for 7 months (we are both 31 and already have had one healthy pregnancy where we conceived quickly, with no thyroid issues). Recently privately tested hormone, TSH level was 3.92 but FT4 levels normal and in range. I am UK based. Should I be seeing my gp about this? Have others been prescribed medi...

Hey Ladies! I’ve been ttc baby #2 for almost a year with. I success. I am currently on in my second cycle with letrozole(due to having PCOS). Am I almost at the point of giving up. Do any of you ladies have any advice or tips?

Hey everyone!! I’m officially actually trying for a baby!! I just started tracking my ovulation and so far the readings from Premom are very odd haha. I’m 8DPO and have been testing since yesterday for pregnancy. So far, all negatives!! Just posting this because I plan to make this my TTC diary 😅😂 thanks!!…

I really want another baby but my partner doesn’t😰 I don’t know what to do very sad

Is anyone about to start a FET cycle? I was expecting to start next month but I had my nurse planning appointment today and as my period is due then I can start my meds on Saturday 🤯🤯

Anyone else sick of people asking if your going to have another baby. It’s always the same people that have already asked me multiple times. People asked me when I’d just popped my 1st child out. I am happy spending all my time with my only toddler I find it very full on with just him. but people seem to constantl...

For those TTC especially if of ‘geriatric’ age, how do you cope when unsuccessful each month? Any mantras, activities to try and stay positive? I am blessed with 1 but would love another.

Hello everyone, I just wondering how long of trying is normal at this age! I’ll turn 40 this June and we are trying for a second baby for months now ( I really can’t have more s*x than that 😂) and nothing happens. I start feeling I shouldn’t be trying at this age but I really want a second child. I am just looking…

Hi I had a natural pregnancy in my early 40s. Baby wasn’t planned. Do you think it’d be as simple to conceive again at 44 once / if we start trying ?

I can’t see a line but my husband is adamant there’s a faint one… is he just being delusional? 😂

Ive been thinking of trying for my Third child, but i’m terrified i will struggle. How did anyone find it the right time to do this and know it was the right choice? How does anyone with three kids or more find it😅
