Community Posts, Tips & Support on Planning for a Baby

To think the last time I was holding a test I had such hope and my heart was so full. Now it feels shattered and broken.

Any other women out there absolutely TERRIFIED of getting an IUD? I do hear it’s one of the most popular birth controls and I have been recommended to it from a physician before. But ever since I became sexually active and to this day it’s a HELL NO for me. It seems so incredibly invasive and I just don’t like the t...

I currently have an IUD in and it’s supposed to come out January of 2026. I want to try and NOT have a fall/winter baby, because I’m December, my husband is December and my son is the end of November. I want a summer baby!!! I have a big trip coming up in July, so I’d rather not do it then. But when should we start...

My app says it's low. But it doesn't look as low as ones I took a few days ago were lower

If I don’t have definite line on tests, does that mean I’m out this cycle, or could it still be early? Period isn’t due till 14th.

Having another loss but first through ivf even with good lining and pgta tested embryo. How can this happen or what reasons are there? I dnt get it. Devastated

I got a peak ovulation on 27th & 28th, so unsure when i ovulated but think i’m about 9dpo…. Anything? I’ve had lots of cramping and lower back pain, sore boobs but it’s all calmed right down now? 😣

I have a 2 year old and I'm literally 9 months pregnant due any day. I am 100% wanting my tubes tied but don't know how to go about it? Has anyone done it? How long did it take to get it done from asking?

My lg is 16months and definitely a sensitive one, although she is fairly head strong and confident. Just wondering if anyone else has an orchid baby, as I want to start night weening and I know it's going to be tough for this reason?

i had two faint positives yesterday, and i tested this morning and had a very positive test and faint lines again on a clear blue. Now this afternoon I’ve started bleeding😭 Its not exactly light but not too heavy. What should i do? id probably be like 5 weeks & ive had miscarriages in the past.

Been on the pill for a very very long time. Considering having the injection instead. Does anyone how where they inject it? I’m reading several different things👀🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m desperate for baby 2 but worried as I’m a little older and periods are a bit all over the place since I stopped breastfeeding that it’s going to be harder this time around

Soo I’ve got rhesus negative blood and baby is rhesus positive which means I have to have anti D injections everytime I bleed, I’ve been hospital 4 times in since xmas eve 😩Just wondering if anyone else has this or is rhesus negative?!

Is there a really faint positive. I’m so early atm to test but I’ve used this Ovum early detect pregnancy test for the first time. Is that a faint line 🙈 I can’t get a good pic..it came up within the time range x

I am scheduled to get an IUD put in for the first time and I’m a bit nervous about it. I’m just trying to mentally prepare myself.

Just wandered if anyone in this group has had any success with improving their partner’s sperm quality after being diagnosed with Male Factor issues, and if so what did you do?

My test line is the wrong way! It came up within the timeframe too.

Hi everyone, I'm excited to be starting my medication and IVF journey next month! I was formally diagnosed with pcos in November and have been on Metformin since then as per my clinics advice. They have said that I will be at risk of OHSS but my meds will be balanced and monitored to avoid this. I've been reading on...

I did a test first thing yesterday morning with the first wee - it came back positive, I did another this morning and it came back negative.. I didn’t think false positives were a thing but is that possible?
