Community Posts, Tips & Support on Trying to Conceive

My husband & I are ready to start trying for baby number 2. But I really don't want a December baby (Christmas & 3 family birthdays already). But I don't know when that means we should start trying. I feel like due to having a premature baby first time, it opened my eyes to not actually really knowing, then they'll ...

Posting incognito because I feel awkward about it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have my LO in November after trying for a few years. I am 100% I want more children and would love to have another soon. Is anyone in the same boat? When are you going to start ‘trying’?

Trying to decide whether to try for another baby soon or whether it would be best to wait a little longer so interested to know what everyone else is planning and why!

And after multiple mmc we have: I truly hope he or she is the one I get to carry this Christmas 😭

Hi all, I'm exactly 1 year down the line since my ectopic and left tube removal. We have been trying ever since with no luck. I hear people falling quite quickly after theirs. It keeps making me question is there something wrong with me. Will we ever get our chance for family?

How are yall feeling? Anyone else 2-3DPO with me?

Why is the decision to have a second so difficult? Is it just me? Phewww. I am 35 (just) and my son is 3 (also just!). Deciding whether to have another is way more difficult than deciding to have a baby at all I think. My concerns are money, space at home, tiredness, THE STATE OF THE WORLD. What did everyone else...

I was diagnosed with low Papp-A at 12 weeks but the other results for Downs syndrome, patau and Edwards syndrome came out low chance. I’ve been prescribed low dose aspirin. Didn’t experience any of this with my first so I’m a little bit worried on what to expect and need some reassurance that it’s all going to be o...

Hey ladies 💝 I had my 2nd FET on 2nd April, had my first ever clearly positive FRER evening of 7dp5dt, was on cloud 9, then that night started getting (brown tmi) implantation spotting and that was happening yesterday aswell which was another great sign, then this morning iv got a barely visible line on a FRER 🥺 my…

First time going away with both a toddler and a baby. My brains gone blank with what I need😂

How do people decide what type of birth they want, lots that I am reading say it’s your choice but when you’ve never done it before how do you even know what you might want?!

Anyone else been told they have low PAPP-A levels and have to take aspirin? Just keen to know if there’s anyone in the same boat 😌

Does anyone have a high needs baby? If so, how do you cope? Any tips or advice would be appreciated! My lo is 7 months old.

Promised myself I wouldn’t buy any early detection tests this month as it stresses me out but I’m 3 days into the TTW and already wanting to break the promise 🤣

I’m on month 9 TTC after x2 losses last year and I’m so disheartened and fed up! Have had all the usual tests run by fertility clinic and gynae, husbands tests are normal and I have regular cycles with confirmed ovulation with BBT and OPKs so I know we’re timing things correctly. Been doing acupuncture for 6 months...

Hey ladies I heard it was easier to get pregnant with number 2 but we've been trying for 4 months now with no luck. I'm still breastfeeding once a day and have been trying to wean him off. Anyone else have any experiences they can share? I don't want another few months to go by and every time my period comes i feel...

Did anyone try conceiving baby #1 for years (we tried for 9 years before concieving our first). She is now 3, and we have been trying for our second for several months now. Worried, we aren't going to be able to get pregnant again easily like people kept saying. Is there anything you did to help?

Anyone else on here TTC with baby #2 and have PCOS. I only recently got diagnosed so the fact I have had our son is an absolute miracle and the biggest blessing. However, we really want to expand our little family and I am just struggling so much with never knowing if i am actually releasing an egg when I’m ‘ovulati...

This might be a weird question but how do I know if I want a 2nd baby or just want to re-do the experience all over again with my 1st? I feel sorta desperate to be pregnant again but don't know if I'm just craving that new baby stage again. Having said that, I would love to see my daughter as a big sister but don't ...

Just had surgery for melanoma last week. Good news is everything came back with negative margins! What do we think? Period to start in 3 days
