Anyone else on here TTC with baby #2 and have PCOS. I only recently got diagnosed so the fact I have had our son is an absolute miracle and the biggest blessing. However, we really want to expand our little family and I am just struggling so much with never knowing if i am actually releasing an egg when I’m ‘ovulati...

Both tests done at same time but clear blue says negative; maybe the faintest line after 15/20minutes, but this appeared within 3 minutes but doesn’t look right??

Just finished and so chuffed I made it. Currently 38+2 and had to drag myself to the end and so happy to be here now! How has everyone spent their mat leave so far to avoid feeling like just waiting? I'm usually quite "out and about" but I'm huge and swollen so feel like I might get cabin fever...

Hey, do you think this is positive? Someone has mentioned to me on another page it might be invalid as the line isn’t central? It’s a cheap early detection test. I’m praying it’s positive 🤞🏼😫

This might be a weird question but how do I know if I want a 2nd baby or just want to re-do the experience all over again with my 1st? I feel sorta desperate to be pregnant again but don't know if I'm just craving that new baby stage again. Having said that, I would love to see my daughter as a big sister but don't ...

Hi Did anyone get pregnant without having periods before they conceived. My last period was in September and I conceived at the end of November. I did a pregnancy test (blood work) at the beginning of November which was negative. Please answer 🙏

Just had surgery for melanoma last week. Good news is everything came back with negative margins! What do we think? Period to start in 3 days

Is anyone else who discussed about having multiple kids, had their first baby and has decided strongly against giving birth to anymore? I’m getting guilted A LOT by family members saying it would be too cruel and selfish of me to not have another baby. But, I’ve suffered immensely from PPD and PPA and sadly took a...

Will/do you have more kids even though you have a child that is on the spectrum? I’d love to have another one but I’m debating if that’s selfish even though I know my current child will always need extra support xx

Anyone else ever go a bit spaced out / dizzy when collecting colostrum lol?

To unexpected people, not someone you expected

Hi girls! At the start of this journey I was so worried about egg collection, now my only fear is managing to get some eggs. Triggered last night 10,000iu zivafert Only 5 follicles look like having a chance tomorrow. So worried xx

Has anyone had a hysteroscopy and if so, could you tell me what advice you were given around having sex afterwards? My procedure is diagnostic with possibly scraping off scarred tissue, and is around the time of ovulation, but I’m not sure if I will be bleeding or allowed to ttc immediately afterwards. Anyone had th...

Anyone else planning on trying for baby #2 around the 1 year mark?

Has anyone had this pattern and tested positive? Currently 7 dpo

My husband and I have been TTC for nearly 7 years. In February I had an HSG done that showed my left tube is completely blocked at the uterus and my right has a hydrosalpinx blockage. We recently have scheduled our IVF consult. This month, around my ovulation time I had some discharge they was thick sticky. Didn't t...
