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?

I did a early pregnancy at 8dpo.. it came back clear initially. But i've just looked at it again 2 hours later and now there seems to be a slight line? Is this positive or not as its not within the time frame? 😬 i took the test at 7am .. and noticed this at 9.20am.

18 dpo today I think. I know it’s weird to keep testing but it’s helping my nerves as I never got one like this with my ectopic!

Can I have your opinions and experiences please. I have 1 child, a toddler who is being assessed for autism. I always thought I'd have at least 2 kids but I feel I need to focus on my son and honestly I think he'd feel neglected if I had another child as he's so attached to me. What are your experiences of having 1...

Had anyone had trouble with Wondfo tests? Some have faint lines and some dont, very confused

I'd love to know everyone's baby no.2 experience. When did you start trying and what's the age gap? For those that have had baby no.2 right after your first (within the following 12 months or so), how was it anatomically and physically? How did it feel physically to become pregnant again soon after? The NHS instill...

Is IVF generally covered by the insurance? I had an abortion this past year due to medical conditions and my husband had the vasectomy done after we found out I was pregnant 😭. Does anyone know if this specific case could by covered? Thanks 🫶🏻

Is this an evap line or positive?

Hi all I have hyperemesis gravidarum (I’m 10 weeks 2days) and was hospitalised for the first time on 1st and 2nd Jan due to being so dehydrated. When dipping my urine I had a lot of ketones cause I was so dehydrated. They told me to keep an eye but because I’m keeping fluid down they were happy to send me home. I’...

Has anyone else here got Rhesus negative blood type in their 2nd pregnancy. I’m so worried😭I know it can cause problems the second time around and I can’t stop thinking the worst . Please tell me someone else is in or has been in a similar situation with their 2nd baby.

Can anyone share their experiences with low Papp-A please. Been told I have today and it’s worried me a little. Thanks in advance x

I’m due to have my second baby this week and already have a toddler who turned 2 in October. I’m wondering if anyone is planning to have their older one stay with family for a while to have time to bond with the baby. I’m torn as I’m worried I’ll miss him and don’t want him to feel like we’ve sent him away. But also...

i am five days late on my period. for the last four days i have taken two tests a day, one in the morning and one in afternoon. Everyday they have been negative except today. This morning and afternoon they have both had a faint line, am i pregnant?

So I have a 9 month old baby and really really want another. I'm 35 so want to do it kinda quickly. I didn't have the best but certainly not the worst pregnancy. Am I getting too old? Any other mom's have multiple babies after 35??

Does anyone know if you get any NHS help when you have already had a child but struggling to conceive with your second?
