Back to back IVF

Hello I have low AMH and was just wondering if anyone knows whether having a few months breaks between full rounds of IVF or back to back rounds are better? Recently had a failed round with one embryo and worried having a break is a bad idea. Thank you

Urine sample

Hi girls, I've been asked to give another urine sample as my one my midwife sent off last week has mixed growth in it, anyone had similar to this & what was the outcome? I know it can be different to everyone just panicking a little and not sure what to expect x

Baby Checklist

Hey everyone! I don’t know why but I’m feeling way more overwhelmed the second time around, than I did with my first 😅 And just wondered if anyone had a good checklist for everything they may need second time around? I’m feeling way worse this time so feel like the time is getting away from me, and already feel…

Pregnancy test

Don’t want to but kinda do 😭 want a positive result. I want to experience it again but I don’t want to change how things are now. It was emotional hard and have no support other than my partner so that part sucks and I don’t want to experience that part 😅😅😭😂

HSG

Just had my first fertility appointment where I’ve been told I need a HSG. (Dye inserted into the fallopian tubes to check for any issues like blockages.) Has anyone had one before? How bad is the pain?

Cycle tracking recommendations

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to start my TTC Journey again in June but want to start tracking my cycles again now following my mc in Feb. What free apps and ovulation strips would you recommend? I’m a complete newbie at this and don’t have much free time to do the research. Thanks in advance x

Pregnant ?

Not sure if anyone can see it the line, more visible from the bottom bit but can’t see much from the top line the line is not complete. I only gave it like 2 min and there was not a line, but checked it again this morning and this is what I can see. What do you guys think positive or negative ?

Why second child ? 🤣

What’s the reasons for having another baby ? Curious to know, I have a three old baby and it’s so much work …. Also it sounds bad but I miss my old life and the fact that I cannot travel at the moment! Nope it’s different to travel without a baby. I want to wait 3,5 years for another baby.

35 TTC second child

Hi there, we had our little boy in June 2023 after a miscarriage before that, and have been trying for 5/6 months now. Really starting to stress now although I know it hasn't been that long, but I'm about to turn 36 so unsure how long to wait before speaking to doctor / fertility consultant? Anyone else TTC at simil...

Freaking out

I’m around 7+3, I last did a test on Thursday last week and had a ‘dye stealer’ (test in top of photo). I then did one this evening after being away for the long weekend and the line is so much lighter. I did do the test about 8pm so later than usual but would this cause that much of a difference? I have an early sc...

Advice!

Ok. So, I know this isn’t a TTC question. But I thought this might be the best place to get advice. I spent over three years not having intercourse. April 15th, I had intercourse. We used a condom the ENTIRE time. My cycle was due the 17th. I haven’t been late in well over a year. I am now 4 days late with zero sign...
