Explaining death to a child

So unfortunately my grandad has passed away and I'm struggling to think of a way that is suitable to explain to my 7 year old. She loved him so much and I know it will be hard for her as it is me but I just can't put the words together to tell her.

Considering a 2nd

Hey girls, just wanted some advice for anyone who's got more than one. My little one is 3.5 months now and it's took us 4 years to conceive her. I'm wondering what it's like having 2 close together as if we're going to do it, it would have to be soon because of both our ages and also making the most out of being hig...

Positive or evap line?

My friend took this test this morning and there was no line and she left it on the counter and came back later on and there was a line! They had sex the day after predicted ovulation (pull out method). She is 2 days before predicted period right now and is having some cramping too. Positive or evap??? 😅

IVF and cyclogest

Anyone done IvF and on cyclogest pessaries? I’ve been told to stop them at end of week 8 (in a couple of days) but everywhere I read says longer. I asked my doctor to confirm and she just keeps saying end of week 8 but it feels too soon. Anyone else had this? X

Controversial Topic

I AM NOT LOOKING FOR OPINIONS. Do not say why you dislike it, why we shouldn’t, I don’t care. Incog cuz my son should have privacy for this.
