Got a positive test yesterday after my miscarriage in January. Starting bleeding today. Why is life so cruel 😩

I wondered how common it is to get pregnant in the next few cycles or is it unlikely

Hello! As a first time mom I am wondering how people are finding ways to bond with their child in the womb?

Day 2 of stims in my 2nd ivf cycle. Is anyone at a similar stage wanting to keep in touch?

I’ve been thinking lately and I don’t know if god will forgive me for this, but, my husband and I did IVF were we created 4 embryos. We transferred two that failed, one that worked, and one we plan to transfer this month. Now he was born without the vas deferens, which is the tube that cum would go through to create...

I had my 36 week midwife appointment today and was advised to start trying to express colostrum. I have given it a go tonight and got the a few tiny beads but I mean tiny, no where near anything I could get into the syringe. How long did take for you ladies to get enough of a droplet to put into the syringe?

Had 2 days of light red/brown blood tonight I’m just spotting barely my test in 48 hours got darker though. Anyone had the same and had a successful story?

Is this possible ? The top clear blue was from yesterday evening. The second clear blue was the morning. The two premoms were taken in the evening and 2 hours apart and the 3rd premom was taken the morning. I did a digital clear blue and it said I wasn’t pregnant. I’m 11DPO

Has anyone gone against consultants advice who advised not to transfer, and pushed to transfer?

How long was the whole IVF process for you from start to finish? My fertility doctor told me around 3 months once we get started next cycle with priming my body but the total amount of time can vary on certain factors so I’m just looking for personal experiences.

So I’ve got two faint lines on strip tests but negative first response. Is this normal or do I have dodgey tests ? Heads gone 🤯

My last period was January I tested positive on the 24 February bled for 3 days. Kept testing positive after the bleeding my last test was the 4th march & I had a scan today but no baby was detected. They didn’t give me much information as why this could be is there anyone else that has gone through this ?

My baby boy is 8 months and I will not be having any more children. just wondering if anyone has tips on raising an only child? A lot of men I know that are an only child are self centered and not thriving. Ty!

Any tips or tricks to make the whole process of IVF any easier? We start priming my body next cycle…. So it’s finally happening! After two losses over two years, I’m excited (but SO nervous) to start this next phase. One step closer to our double rainbow baby!! 🌈🌈

Hi all Does anybody know how sensitive GP/Doctors pregnancy tests are? I tested positive a few days ago went to the GP and they’ve tested and only a faint line appeared.

Hey I’ve seen lots of people mention dye stealing on positive tests, I was just wondering is this something that happens in every pregnancy that’s progressing normal? I’m 18 DPO and my progression just looks like this and isn’t getting LOADS darker each day it’s really subtle if anything at all If you have had a dy...

I really thought this was my month, I just feel pregnant! 10dpo and negative test but when I keep looking I catch a tiny shadow but I think it’s line eyes 😭 opinions would be great!

Hi everyone. I’m having a super anxious week as I tested positive on Sunday but I’m not really seeing a lot of line progression (especially on the cheapies) and I’ve already had 7 miscarriages, 6 of which were in the first 4-5 weeks. I took this test a few minutes ago and in the same cup of urine did a digital. Thi...
