How do you know if you’re ready for a second?

11 DPO…I’m over waiting 😅

I’ve had the cramping 3 dpo, I’ve had the tender swollen breasts, sore nipples, bloated, gas, loose stools, and have consistently tested negative. This is the longest I’ve gone without starting my period. I’m like clock work…always 28-29 days. This will be my second pregnancy (if I am) and the first I’m actually try...

Searching for a buddy in London

I’m going through a fertility journey on my own. Sadly I have only a couple of friends I can ask to ask to pick me up after treatments which involve sedation/anhestisia and they aren’t always available. I want to connect with someone who can relate and might have a similar need and I’d happily do the same in return....

Low hcg

I’m guessing this one will end in MC again 😔first draw was on 6/4 at 29 second draw was a week later on 6/11 at 117. Numbers are increasing but not doubling. Will be 3rd loss after trying for 2 years. Any success stories of low HCG?

Any tips for TTC?

Sooooo here’s the thing. My man is NOT fertile. He does have 1 kid though, so it’s not impossible. It just feels like it. I feel like he should change his diet. He did stop drinking, so that’s good. Any other tips?
