PCOS and Pregnancy

So at 21 I was diagnosed with PCOS, I'm now 27 and 7+1 with my first pregnancy 🙏🏻 I've never had a scare or even a chance I could have been pregnant before so it's all very new for me! I can't help but feel nervous about potential complications with the PCOS. Any ladies had this feeling? I'm hoping this is just our…

April baby

Positive test yesterday after 4 months of TTC. Due daye around 4th April so really early days and was conceived on holiday in Sicily, where my fiancee is from so feels special seeing as they will be born and raised in UK. But I am TERRIFIED! Delighted of course but also terrified. Any advice for first time mums? ❤️

TTC at 42

I thought there were lots of women having babies at 42 and over, which made me keen to try. But now looking around I can’t see much and it’s freaking me out. Maybe I am crazy for wanting another when you’re 42?!

Any mamas trying or convincing partner for baby #4?

Growing up, I knew I wanted at least 1. Then I was saying a while after that, maybe 2, but for sure, 3 would be pushing it. Although I am a tired mama, here I am with baby #3 and want to try for #4–possibly another girl, but either would be completely fine with me, just healthy and happy. Am I crazy? Hubby says not ...

Finally some good news

Cried myself to sleep last night as I felt like I was having symptoms of my period starting. Woke up this morning and still no signs of the period, so took a test as I’d rather know, didn’t want to spend the whole day wondering and waiting…. This has been 8 months since we miscarried and the hardest months of TTC.

High testosterone??

Hi all, so recently I had a full blood count done and I also had an ultrasound. I was told all came back normal, but when I logged into my NHS app it says that my testosterone count was high. I’ve done some research and high testosterone in women can be caused by PCOS, and can even cause infertility. Wondering if an...

Second baby

Hello everyone, Myself and my partner have decided to start trying for our second baby. My first is now 15 months. Does anyone have a small age gap and mind sharing what it’s like? I’m so nervous and now think the age gap will be too small so it will be hard but then I feel ready for another baby!

PPA/PPD

I feel like I am at the point where I need to reach out to my doctor about PPA/PPD. I felt ok when I filled out the scales right after delivery and within the first few days but I have been struggling more recently. Anyone know how long it takes to start to feel normal again after reaching out for support?
