I am getting a membrane sweep on Monday!!! Has anyone had it and if so, was it successful? I will be 38 weeks and I’m nervous

Considering buying these tablets to have a final push at trying naturally before IVF (we have male factor and low AMH). I’m really dubious though as I don’t get how it can help both men and women when their bodies etc are so different… anyone have any experience with it or an alternative they would recommend?

Has anyone read the recent ipaper article about the declining birthrate in the UK? There are 3 articles within it and I read the one by Rhiannon Picton-James. She argues that the UK is a really bad place for having babies and that as a mum with a baby/young child she feels very unwelcome in many places. She notes ...

So I had my last depo jab in Jan last year and obviously it takes up to a year for fertility to return and I’m just wondering where I go from here because I’m tracking my periods and they’re regular but I’m still not pregnant, it’s really getting me down now

Hi, ovulated yesterday. Did the deed now the dreadful waiting! Anyone else on this timeline?

I took 3 tests they came out all the same. One digital and pink dye were a no pink tho might have had something. But the three gave me hope

Pregnancy test started getting darker tell 15dpo now it’s getting lighter? Am I losing the baby???

I need to delay my ovulation by 1 week, any ideas or pills I can take for it?

I no there's still plenty of time but Im starting to think it's time to start buying a few more bits

I took two both looked like this but digital said no I am excited but don’t want to get my hopes up. What do you think

Took two they both look like this. Took digital it said no. Am I pregnant

My partner and I have been trying to concieve for over a year . I’ve lost so much weight and gotten my periods back to some sort of regular path. I followed my fertility and I have all the symptoms of being pregnant, I’m afraid that it’s false and don’t want to get my hopes up. I am taking a pregnancy test in five ...

Evening! I got a letter yesterday with my screening results and then had information about Low PAPP-A levels as mine was 0.3 at 13+2 weeks. Am I right in thinking I need to take the recommended dose of aspirin to help with reducing the possible risks? As well as the extra monitoring they will do? Is there anything...

Is this a faint positive or is it negative because I see a very faint line one similar to when I was pregnant with my son. Period isn’t due until 3 days time x

I've just done a red dye test this afternoon, this came up within 5 minutes. Evap or possibly a positive?? 🙏 Thank-you x

Just looking for reassurance. Currently 10dpo with negative.

I've been testing everyday around lunch, and the highest test I got was 0.33. But today my bbt sky rocketed like I ovulated. What the chances I just missed my peak? I'm so confused.

Is this positive or are my eyes deceiving me?? I would be quite early testing as my period isn’t due for another 4/5 days

Got my positive test and now this starts. One had a tiny spec of proper red blood and now I’m really worried.

Does anyone have positive stories for us fighting through our anxiety about conceiving on their first attempt or shortly after? I know a lot of factors go into it, but it feels nice to hear positive stories.
