Has anyone had a cervical check yet? I'm 36 weeks and my doctor does a weekly cervical check starting tomorrow. I'm nervous.. is it painful? Does it feel much different from the annual routine when they feel your ovaries? Is anyone rejecting cervical checks until labor?

So far in my IVF journey, I’ve only had to do subcutaneous injections. I’m scared to do the intramuscular shots, but it is on the horizon now that I’m getting into a transfer cycle. For those that have done both, honestly, how much worse is the intramuscular shots versus subcutaneous as far as pain and such. Pleas...

I had my period as normal on 13th of November for 4 days on 29th Nov I had cramping and medium bleeding over the day . On 6th December I had positive test.

Has anyone else hit the nesting stage and making sure everything is right for arrival? Due in 4 weeks and this project has given me energy. FTM!

What day in the cycle would be ovulation day? I have a regular 25 day cycle. The tracking app I use said I was ovulating on day 16 but I’m learning that it’s most like day 10-12 I would be ovulating. Only just started doing ovulation tests this month after a year of “not not trying”

Is this positive or a evap line

If the apps are all correct it says I am 5 weeks tomorrow. Not sure sure if there is such a thing but is this too dark for the timescales? Taken at 1700hrs UK time!

Anyone finding second baby more difficult? I don't know whether it's because I had more time to do things and get out easier with my first. But the second baby seems harder to settle and more demanding! Anyone else?

Can lh levels be high when unwell? I had a very clear peak and 3dpo it went up after dropping right the way down?

When did you first start to feel pregnant? What was the first symptom? I did a test a few weeks back and it was negative. I then went for a smear recently where they did another test and it’s positive. I believe it is positive, but for some reason I don’t FEEL pregnant the same way I did with my first. Is it bec...
