Community Posts, Tips & Support on Trying to Conceive

How long after your period ends do you start to bd? Any tips on TTC. My fiancé and I have been trying for our first with no luck. My periods are very irregular sometimes skipping a month and the average is a 39 day cycle. We have tried mucinex method and I was having all the symptoms for the first 4 weeks including ...

What do you guys think? Been getting cramps. This is a Clear blues ultra early test. We’ve not been actively TTC we’ve just not used any protection and taken the more “leave it in Gods hand” approach - we were worrying ourselves silly. I will test again tomorrow. The line is blue although it’s not clear from the ...

Is anyone finding it/found it harder to connect to or be excited by your second pregnancy? Maybe I’m too preoccupied with my toddler but I just don’t feel that pregnant and can’t really connect to the idea that there’s a real baby in there that I will meet and love. Perhaps once I start to feel more movement it will...

What’s anyone else who’s become a mum on the older side thinking about the second baby question? I’m 38 (37 when my son was born) - it took nearly a year to conceive him after a previous loss so I know these things often don’t happen easily. We’d love a second child and we know time isn’t really on our side - but th...

Omg I haven’t posted here in so long! I can’t believe our littles are 3.5. My husband and I are trying to conceive Baby #2 and this was our first cycle trying. I took two clear blue early detection tests and sadly both were negative even though I am having some symptoms but I’m not sure if it’s all in my head. For...

Hello. I have a 23 months old and life came back to new normal. We are enjoying ourself and back to care and attention when it comes to my relationship. We are thinking of trying for a second one and we definitely want one but wondering if this would be a good age gap. I have found new born stage extremely hard with...

My husband and I have decided to start trying for baby number 2 in September. I don’t want to put pressure on myself as my daughter was a happy surprise baby. I don’t know whether to just let nature take its course or take supplements like folic acid or whatever people take. What did you all do who are currently pre...

Any words of encouragement please

I know I am super lucky to have a healthy, mostly happy 2 year old. After having him I said "right, one and I am done". We started trying at the beginning of the year with a couple of months break in between but so far no pregnancy. With our first it happened the first month we tried and now, nothing... I would love...

Talk about life, TTC becoming a mum pregnancy experience (good and bad) MC Ectopics everything just general chit chat

Honesty where do you find the time?! We have a 3 year old and a 5 month old and it honestly feels impossible 🤯 it’s been over 3 weeks now

My husband and I have always agreed on having three up until first was born. We now have had number two who is about to be at the age that I want to try for number three. He is adamant that we are done. I don’t think that I would ever stop wondering about and longing for that third (I love my first two but I’ve alwa...

Has anyone successfully gotten SDI extended for PPA AFTER they already switched to PFL? I messed up and should have spoken with my dr previously and now I feel I lost my opportunity to get it extended. Any advice is appreciated ♥️

Hello, does anyone know if push present is a thing for having a second baby? Or is it just for the first one? 😅

Our little girl was unplanned but such a happy surprise. Now I’m starting to think we need to make a choice sooner rather than later on having another one. Anyone else in the same boat? Xx

Been ttc for 8 months and lately I have been having terrible migraines and more often than usual. I have just taken a test and it's positive! Looks stronger in real life. I am so bloated already too I wonder if baby number 2 makes u show quicker!

Hi I dunno if anyone can help, I’m wanting to fall pregnant with baby number 2. Does anyone know of anything I can take that helped them fall it took me 9 months last time? Thanks x

How many weeks old did it get better … still waiting 😅

Hey Moms. I got my labs pulled for my NIPT for my first baby on July 3rd at 12 weeks and 6days and finally got my results today and everything is low risk. I’m so excited, greatful and blessed.

Our first is 21 months. We both want a second child (already have names picked out that he chose). Both ideally want 3 in total. Whenever I bring up a second child he keeps saying it's not the right time. I'm over 35 and it's just going to keep getting harder to conceive the longer we wait.
