Morphology

Hi ladies, had anyone ever had experience with their partner being diagnosed with low morphology (1% in our case) and still getting pregnant naturally? My GP has said we have to continue trying for 2 years, despite the fact my partner has low sperm density and low morphology 😭.

Colostrum

Still struggling to get anything out 😥 Any tips would be greatly appreciated! I’m nervous I’m going to have none as a backup when I go into labour and I’m currently 38+4.

Advice & Your Story

We have been TTC for about a year. My first round of clomid was unsuccessful. I just finished my second round & am about to enter ovulation time. I am feeling super defeated & scared. Negative tests & tampons are tear jerking. Advice & encouraging stories needed!!!

TTC when breastfeeding

Our baby turns 1 next week and we've decided that we are ready to try for another baby. I'm still EBF and haven't had a period yet so have no idea if I'm even ovulating. I bought ovulation sticks and have been using them for a few weeks and maybe had 1 positive reading but I'm still not sure. I guess I'm just lookin...

TTC

For those who have already had a baby how long did it take to conceive? For my first baby I fell pregnant after 4 months of ttc and sadly miscarried but then fell pregnant immediately after so it basically took 5 months. My baby is currently 3 months and we are trying for baby number 2. I know it’s not been long ...

Candles

Random question (which maybe very silly lol) do any of you lovely ladies ever burn candles while baby is around? I love a candle at this time of year but have been reluctant to light any due to baby being up?? Not sure if I’m over thinking it or just not worth it

What are the next steps when you go to NHS for struggling to TTC?

I got pregnant straight away with my 2 year old, but second time around it’s not working out that easy for us. Interested to hear from others what the next steps are when you go to the GP after 12 months of unsuccessful ttc? Like what testing is offered?

Got my BFP yesterday (DPO 12)!!

What a whirlwind I’ve experienced. In August I went to a new OBGYN to get labs drawn due to a few irregular cycles. I was diagnosed with POI (FSH 60 AMH 0.03) and started to explore my sisters as donors. My husband and I (getting married Wednesday) figured it was worth trying on our own. I pulled out all the stop...

Considering a 2nd

Hey girls, just wanted some advice for anyone who's got more than one. My little one is 3.5 months now and it's took us 4 years to conceive her.
