Community Posts, Tips & Support on Planning for a Baby

I’ve applied for child maintenance and they’ve asked for further information on the dad as I only gave name and DOB as I didn’t know where he was living. After looking further and further into details I know, I’ve given parents address, address of his girlfriend (very new) number, passport number, previous work and ...

Posting on behalf of my friend, she’s had 3 pre mom strip tests with faint lines like this today, then took a clearblue digital which was negative… could she still be pregnant? She’s been trying for a long time! 🤞🏼

So confused by these numbers this morning. Which is accurate?

My best friend has been trying to get pregnant for a long time now, today she got 3 faint positive strip tests…. So I bought her a clearblue digital test, but this came back negative….. could she still be pregnant?????

So I am 5 days late on my period and this is the latest I’ve ever been. I am usually regular. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative. Has this happened to anyone else and what could it be? 😭

I don’t trust the test😂

Got to test in a couple weeks anyway and let the hospital know the result but I’m just curious if anyone’s levels dropped before then?

I have PCOS. I'm 34 and a mum of 1. I have irregular periods so I don't always ovulate. Me and my partner have decided to start trying for a baby this year December 2025. Does anyone have suggestions of how I can start preparing for conception/pregnancy? My first pregnancy was complete luck. I had not had a pe...

Has anyone tested negative on the day of their period and still been pregnant? My flo app says to wait to take a test on Sunday but I’m so nervous I feel like I can’t wait! Was disappointed by the negative result today. Is there still hope? I normally have really dry CM when I’m due on and this time I have lots of s...

I had x2 early losses last year, one in March and another in September. No living children and I’m desperate to start a family 😔 It took 6 months between losses last time to fall pregnant but I’m in my 6th month post loss now and I’m getting negative tests so onto the next… I know it can take up to a year for most…

Faint positive 6 days out from my period what do you think ?

I think I may have line eyes and my mind is playing tricks on me but I can’t help but think I see a line who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

Hey, this is my first time using ovulation sticks… do these results look okay (next lot in comments). My levels don’t seem to go that high?

Does anyone know if you have IVF at the Homerton, is all your treatment (bloods, scans, egg collection & transfer) done on site? Or are they affiliated with another fertility clinic who does the egg collection/transfer side of things?

Hi all! Soooo my son is 13 months old. My husband and I know we want to have another baby and want them close in age (2.5-3years apart). We aren’t actively trying but I recently just had a little pregnancy possibility that turned out to be negative, and it made me so sad 🫠🤣 It got me thinking, should we be…

Why did they do it?

Showed up right away and darkened in a ten min time frame.

Am I crazy here or is this positive ?

Day before first egg collection here. (Bricking it a little 😬) These measurements are from Tuesday morning. I had one final dose of Pergoveris last night but only 225 iu. (I was on 375 all the way through with one dose of 450 on Monday) What’s your predictions? I’m gonna say 7 eggs. 🌸

2 DPO.. anyone with me! Why does it feel like the longest wait!
