Getting numb in this TTC journey

Maca root

Has anyone tried to use maca root when TTC? I have now conceived and I’m not sure if I should still keep taking it. Did anyone else continue to take it?

Baby number 2

Just found out I'm pregnant with baby number 2. I'm excited but scared as to how I'm going to manage with 2 so young. My husband often works nights so I'll have to do bed time on my own with both of them. Any tips?

2ND baby - yes or hell no

So my husband wants to try for another baby soon, my girl is 11 months old. Is having two close in age hard? I'm scared I won't be able to cope, but at the same time I kinda just wanna have it over and done with. Also siblings close in age would be nice. And once I'm done having kids I can focus on my health and car...

Hormone drip

Did anyone's hormone drip not work? Been on for 3 hours and my midwife just said 'they're still gappy'. Did you end up in a section or something else? And how long did it take to decide next steps?

Pregnancy after loss

I’m only 11dpo and these tests show 2 from 9dpo, one from 10dpo and the last one is this afternoon 11dpo. Would you say they’re progressing well? When do you finally allow yourself to be excited and not panicked?

Anyone see a line?

Typically I’d ask my husband so he could talk me off the ledge but I don’t want stress him out. We have two under 3 so another baby isn’t the plan but we’d be grateful either way. Thank you.

It’s so hard

I’m finding seeing these stark white negatives every month so crushing. I tell myself I’m going to wait for af every month but I don’t, I always give in thinking this is the month. I’m starting to think that it just isn’t going to happen.
