Community Posts, Tips & Support on Planning for a Baby

So I’m somewhere around 9-11 dpo tomorrow. I feel pregnant, my husband thinks I am as does my mum but my tests are all over the place. I only take various brands of the early detection ones and some have a super faint line, two have an obvious but very faint pink line and the rest are negative. I’ve just taken a cle...

Hi everyone! My partner and I have completed all our fertility testing including a tube assessment and seems like we have u explained infertility. Our Dr previously spoke about doing two rounds of medicated IUI (we’d be funding this) before moving to IVF. Anyone else had a similar experience or let me know what to ...

How long has it taken everyone to concieve? I have been trying for about 11 months now 😩 most frustrating, heartbreaking thing, trying to let it go and let it be.

Found out I was pregnant last week, but my tests aren’t getting any darker. I’ve got positives on digitals and every test I do there’s a line but it’s not getting any darker. I’ve been testing everyday since last Sunday and it’s gotten slightly darker but not much. Any advice please?

Hi :) When do you suggest taking a test. I have seen a few of you say you are 3weeks and slightly over. Please let me know when you took your test. My last period was 19th October, so that would put me at 3 weeks today? I’ve taken a test tonight however negative (which I expected as it’s so early?) Thanks :)

See option: 1) You gentle parent and grew up with gentle parenting 2) You gentle parent but didn't grow up with gentle parenting 3) You don't gentle parent but grew up with gentle parenting 4) You don't gentle parent and didn't grow up with gentle parenting

Due for a fresh transfer soon, this is my first transfer and first round. I see a lot of posts about losses, I know sadly it’s common either with IVF or spontaneous conception but is it more common with IVF? In the UK so not doing embryo testing.

Hello Ladies, I have just been told my cervix is 26mm. The doctors want to wait annd see but I am getting very nervous. Anyone with similar measurements and what was the treatment prescribed?

I’ve got 6 positive tests, a missed period and classic symptoms, however my tests are not all very very dark like some other peoples are, is this normal? The lines are progressing they’re just not extremely dark should I be worried? Xxx

Is it possible I’ll get a positive at some point? Please don’t comment saying it will happen 🙄💔 it doesn’t help

Based on these ovulation strips when should I take a test? I’m 10 months pp

Is this a faint positive? Or is it just wishful thinking on my part? I’m 10 DPO.. I got an obvious negative yesterday. I would be so thrilled if this was the positive I am seeing, but also scared of being wrong when do I test again

I heard trump is gonna make your insurance or the government pay for ivf treatments? This is huge news especially for my friend whos payed sooo much for her treatments 🥲

I take it this isn't a good sign, it would be showing up by now if I was wouldn't it? Testing first thing in the morning.

We are actively trying for baby #2 right now. My first baby was born in January and is 10 months old. I stopped taking birth control in early October when I reached the end of the pack I was on. The first day of my last period was October 8, and the tracking app I use says I should have ovulated on October 22. I sho...

We are evaluating moving back to home state to have more support in our life. A few years ago we went no contact with my in laws & moved out of state due to work. Since we have reconciled because we want the best for our first child. But there was no apology and the family dynamic remains the same. Have anyone e...

UK based going through IVF and my lining is already 13.8mm. Egg collection is soon. Can I expect this to get thicker? Worried transfer will be cancelled as too thick isn’t good for implantation but what is too thick? So many questions!

First time so is this normal for 9DPO?

I’m 4 weeks and 4 days, I’ve just done a Clearblue test - 11:30am my first wee of the day - and it was positive within the time frame, but it wasn’t as dark as my most recent Clearblue test😣 am I worrying for nothing?

Second month trying for first 9DPO is this positive
