I’m just looking for peoples experiences if they have had a second baby. My little one turned 1 at the end of January and my partner and I would like around a 2 year age gap so would like to start trying for baby no2 in June/July time. How has it been for anyone including in pregnancy with a 1 year old?

Looks negative right?

I’ve recently found out that I have fibroids in the womb. They’re very small and doctor said that they don’t need to be removed. Did anyone managed to get pregnant with this type of fibroids? My periods are irregular and I don’t even know if I ovulate or not. I’m trying to conceive but in three months I was unsucces...

I only started testing on day 12 so I'm thinking I might have missed it. But curious to know when other people tend to ovulate?

I was diagnosed with UC in December and we are hoping to start trying for baby number 2 soon. Any advice or information anyone has would be amazing thank you!

Soo a-bit of background info, I haven’t had a period since 2/1/25. I do have PCOS and hadn’t had a period for a year and half before having my daughter 2 years ago. Since giving birth my periods have been regular! I got a positive test (digital) this time last week. Monday I had numerous negative tests (these were...

I don’t normally take a lot of tests but something in my gut tells me it’s a chemical. With my last pregnancy I tested positive 9dpo and on 10dpo I had a digital test confirming and stronger lines on my first response. This pregnancy I tested positive 10dpo with an extremely faint line. I’m now 13dpo and my period ...

I’m 5 days from missed period so I know I’m early but I feel like I have line eyes and I had a dream last night where I had a positive!

i know clear blue is known for evap lines so i did another what do yous think? x

Has anyone taken progesterone pessaries after they’ve ovulated to help with conception? I keep having chemicals and miscarriages so I am going to try taking them after ovulation instead of waiting until a positive pregnancy test as seems it’s too late. My question is if you don’t get pregnant when do you take the pe...

Hi everyone, as I post this I'm feeling at a pretty low point 💔 I am on my second round of IVF medication on a higher dose, after my first round had to be cancelled due to my ovaries not responding sufficiently. Ever since that knock, my mental health has been challenged. I started off feeling anxious and…

So I miscarried in early Jan. It took me 5 weeks to get a negative test and I had a period around this time. My first month of trying again. For the last 5 days I have been convinced I can see shadows on tests but equally I'm realistic that it they were positive youd see some sort of progression now 😭 I'm just…

Can anyone give any advice on how to handle wanting baby number 2 but husband being a firm no I’ve bought the conversation up several times over the past year or so and every time I get a no but I would love my daughter to be a big sister. Shall I just leave it and accept that she’ll be an only child or keep brin...

I’m new to ovulation testing. First cycle Iv done this for. So not sure exactly how it works. But it said online my peak should be a really dark line . Darker than the control. But my chart is already saying peak? I’m not sure it it’s incorrect. And seems early on cycle day 8?? Today I had to move the arrows when I...

After 2.5 years of ttc I finally had a big blue line 🥹. I am 5 days late but was too scared to test and be disappointed. My positive is finally here 🙏🏻

So I had a D&C for a missed miscarriage 3 weeks ago. I’ve been taking tests every couple days to track levels going down. I a test on the 26th (one week ago) and one today. Top test is from the 26th and bottom is todays. There’s no change? I was expecting it to be negative or at least almost negative, I did have a l...

Tried clomid 1 month.. but based of blood work and symtoms doctor highly suspects of PCOS. To confirm i need to get an xray done that cost $2000. But we don't have the money for that. Other thing doctor recommended is iud.. but that is even more expensive about 8k to 10k per treatment. I know its a silly question bu...

Negative or a faint line?

Hi all I am due on my period tomorrow. I tested 10dpo (Monday) with two different brands of strip tests- both came back positive. Tuesday I tested with the same strip tests again along with a digital in the morning (said not pregnant) and strips and FRER in the PM. FRER came back faint positive and strips looked s...

Good afternoon. I am currently 4 days late for my period, I’ve taken two tests. One cheap shop bought one - (2 pink lines) & one clearblue. We had unprotected sex on the 21st twice and he pulled out but I have no idea where my period is 👀
