Has toddler stayed a night without you?

For NYE my husband wants to take me out and let his parents look after my little one. She's very close to grandparents and they look after her really well. However, I've never spent a night without her. She's 2.5 years old now so I feel like it's ok but I'm anxious. How was your experience and how was little one?

Need Advice

So, my wife and I are trying to conceive via private sperm donor (artifical insemination). Our donor came over on the first for our second try. That was a few weeks ago, and now I'm about two weeks late. The thing is, I've taken like six tests, and they've all come out negative. I don't know if it's too early to be ...

Bleeding but still testing positive

Hi all, when will I stop testing positive? I’m still getting faint positives, the same ones you’d get around 4 weeks (started bleeding a day after my period was supposed to start) I’ve made peace with it and know it’s a chemical pregnancy. This is my second one in a row so I’m going to put TTC to a stop and try to p...

We decided to go with the recommendation from the consult...

Opinions on constant testing

Here’s my anxiety. I have a daughter who is 2, she wasn’t planned so when my period was late I took one test (looking back i think i was around 4 weeks + 2 or 3 days) and it was pretty much a dye stealer. I then took a digital one to confirm and that was it. Now we’ve been TTC for one year, We had a miscarriage in e...

Do you think it’s unethical to have more kids if you can’t afford it?

I made another post on here and the responses were a nice new perspective but it made me curious as to what people think about this. Do you think it’s unethical for people to plan to have kids when they can’t afford it? (Not including accidental pregnancies) For example: I know someone who just had her son via ac...
