We just had our first FET and the day before the clinic asked if we wanted to transfer the strongest one or do we have any other preference and it’s been bugging me what they mean by that? What would the other choice have been? Has anyone experienced this?

The United States as I understood it as a child is gone. All the safeguards for humanity I took for granted are being shaken loose from their foundation at the hands of uneducated, angry people who are incapable of compassion. How are you working to raise emotionally intelligent children in this climate? 🤔

I hate that my kids are growing up without a dad. Will this get better? Am I a bad mom? Can I do this? What’s the next step? I’ve got so many questions and no one has answers…. I’m trying so hard for my babies but idk.

I’m having another little boy! Who else has their results? 😊

Anyone else feel like you get ingored when it comes to your way of parenting by your parents and even your partner?

But…why doesn’t society do a better job of warning parents to be and people in consideration, of the reality of parenthood BEFORE getting into it. It’s always swooning over over the top maternity photos, dramatic announcements and gender reveals for the attention (I know bc I did it) everybody says congrats and is f...

Any thoughts on having a second kid ? I'm 36 and I got my first kid after 4 years of trying. I'm scared to try for a second kid since I'm mentally and physically drained with work and home.

I’m two days post transfer, I’ve had zero symptoms, I know it’s early but I’m curious if it’s normal to have zero symptoms after transfer and anyone who’s had similar experiences?

If your child's father is not allowed contact, do you need to make a nursery aware of this when registering? (for potential safeguarding)

I used to adore being a stepmother, however since having a child of my own, unfortunately I really dislike being one now and I do feel guilty about this. I feel even more so guilty when other stepmoms say “I love them like my own”, I couldn’t possibly love my partners child over my very own child? My stepchildren ar...

Would you send your African American child to an all Chinese school? I live around the corner from a school that I really like, the only thing is he would literally be the only black child. There are no teachers or anything other than Chinese. He’s going into kindergarten.

Thinking about being one and done or having another and I’m just curious what only children feel about there experience.

Hey, just looking for some advice or words of wisdom! I had a FET on Friday (5day embryo) but don’t feel any different at all at the moment. I’ve not had a frozen transfer take before, only fresh. Not sure if I’m supposed to feel any different this early?!

I need advice. I’m a single mom of two. First child conceived via rape. Second child conceived via donor iui. I’m considering a 3rd child down the road. I know it’s going to be hard as hell as 1 was tough at times , 2 is rough at times. I love my children dearly and absolutely blessed and love being a mama. I do get...

When asking for support or advice from people the first thing they always say is “well you wanted a baby” to me it’s not nice and it almost makes me feel bad for having my child,does anyone else feel like this ?

I need help ASAP. I registered my baby a week ago. I gave her two surnames but want to remove one. I’ve looked into both kinds of deed poles and one of them the enrolled one just seems really complicated and confusing. The person has to have known me for 10 years the witness and have to swear in front of a solicitor...
