Community Posts, Tips & Support on Planning for a Baby

Hi guys, I know this is probably a hard one to give a blanket answer to but typically how long does IVF take when you go private? Starting from the consultation? Also, if anyone has any input on how long funding takes (roughly) from the point in which your partner is diagnosed with MFI I’d be so grateful. ❤️

The top test was 12 hours ago this morning, it was showing as blank when I first took the test but when I looked again a few hours later a faint line has appeared. Has anyone had this appear after and it not be an evap line? Do evap lines look different? Thank you 🙏

On the 23rd my hcg was 13.6. I’m on cycle day 39 my cycles are 35 days long. Testing every 2 days this is my 2nd draw and it’s 53!!!

Random question (which maybe very silly lol) do any of you lovely ladies ever burn candles while baby is around? I love a candle at this time of year but have been reluctant to light any due to baby being up?? Not sure if I’m over thinking it or just not worth it

After a year of trying and two miscarriages at the start of the year, I'm finally pregnant!! I took a test this morning and it turned positive in seconds... It's never been that fast before ever!

Want to be buddies so we can test together? When do y'all plan on testing? I plan on it at 10dpo. But this wait is so long!

Is anyone thinking about trying for baby number 2 soon or currently pregnant?

Is this positive or indent taken within 3 minutes

I’m gutted my clear blue tests have no progression if anything a little lighter, I’m 11dpo too😢 new test in comment

a) “You’re spoiling your child.” b) “You need to be stricter.” c) “Are you sure you’re doing the right thing?” d) “Just wait until they’re older…”

Hey guys! Sorry for the lengthy post! I wanted some opinions on this and hear about some of y’all’s experiences. I went to the ER on 9/22 and found out that I was having a miscarriage. By 10/5 I had a negative pregnancy test and my OB gave us the clear to start trying again. Earlier this week I started having sympto...

Does anyone have any experience with breeding? We have a soon to be 4 year old American Akita and my partner wants to start breeding him. I don’t know much about it but he said he’s struggling to find a breeder. Our dog is also starting to ‘leak’ if you know what I mean 😬 any suggestions on what we can do?

36 week check up today with strep b group test also cervical check I am 2 cm and 50% effaced induction scheduled for 11/7. At this point could I start collecting colostrum?

I'm starting weaning next weekend! I'm so nervous. Is anyone else starting next week? What are you planning on starting with?

We aren't trying but I just felt like I needed to test, we do use protection (condoms) but always start without first. Boyfriend has said nothing went inside me before this, so could the first test be an evap line? It turned positive outside of the timeframe window. Flo estimated my period to be today and it hasn't ...

Please tell me I don't have line eye is there a second line 🥹

As above really. Taken a test this morning, nothing. Went back to it half an hour later (past the ten mins advised) and it has a dark blue line. Did another test, and a very faint shadow of a line. Wasn't sure what colour. Again, come back to it tonight and it's dark and very blue. I've tested with boots and Tesco...

I got pregnant straight away with my 2 year old, but second time around it’s not working out that easy for us. Interested to hear from others what the next steps are when you go to the GP after 12 months of unsuccessful ttc? Like what testing is offered?

Has anyone ever had a fake positive with the 1st response pregnancy tests? It’s the 6 days before missed period one, my period is 2 days late but I wasn’t expecting a positive… My husband is going to buy more tests, my heart is beating so fast right now

i tested today and coming up negative but i habe pregnancy signs
