Hi all, I was wondering if people could give me suggestions for IVF in London? Hoping to book in a consultation in January, so trying to get all my information now to decide which is right for us. Thanks so much X

I’m have PCOS so that’s probably why but I had hoped having a baby would’ve regulated things but I guess not. 🤷‍♀️ I’m assuming I won’t be able to get pregnant again until i have a period right?

Is it normal for a digital test writing to disappear after 48 hours?? This was saying pregnant 2-3 for 2 days but it’s now gone and looked online and it’s supposed to stay on for up to 6 months but it’s now gone blank

I’m 7PO and the waiting is killing me. What’s the earliest you’ve had a positive pregnancy test?

Has anyone been trying for so long that they’re starting to wonder if they’re even doing it right 😂

I’m 9DPO on a 32 day cycle. Not due AF until the weekend. Did everything right this cycle, LH and BBT tracking, perfectly timed BD. Feel like I’ve been having implantation symptoms since Saturday but not sure if it’s just phantom/hope. Anyone else in a similar boat?

Hi ladies I’m 10 weeks today I take pregnancy tests sometimes as a reassurance thing after a loss I did one last night and was allot darker and done one this morning and the test line was lighter? Is that normal for my stage of pregnancy or has anyone else had this and all was okay? Panicking

Hi team, Firstly, I’ve been sick with HG for my entire pregnancy (7 months now) and only just found this group and (though I am so sorry that you’re all going through this nightmare) it’s been really comforting to see I’m not alone.

I had very faint positives, the 25th (8dpo) of October. Unfortunately, i started heavy bleeding on the 30th and passed what I believe to be the pregnancy on the 2nd of November. I was advised to byEPU to test again a week later, 8/11. Felt I could see vvvfl still. Phoned basically querying is residual tissue left. ...

Some advice would be great! I am having all the signs of ovulation. Woken up with a lot more of egg white discharge today,cramping a lot more than normal this time round, headache (not usual), stretching sensation feeling around my stomach (not usual) and according to my app I’m meant to be ovulating but my LH leve...

So for instance I was adopted and my kids got taken by CPS and are with hubby's brother. Anyways CPS contacted my adopted mom (who isn't related to me at all) they said she's maternal grandmother but is she though? I'm my own guardian and I didn't sign a release of information can they legally contact her? They told...

Is this a faint positive? Only 10DPO- with my son it was a much stronger line even then.

Does everyone else feel like pcos has been thrown as a diagnosis left and right recently? Im actually questioning if we either just ALL have different levels of pcos or its just severely misdiagnosed? I have recently heard that there are four types.. HOWEVER, does everyone who was told they have pcos all have diffic...

How long from applying did it take for you to receive your child benefit! also if you added them onto an existing claim do you think that made it quicker? Will I probably just wait until next child benefit is due next month to receive anything?

Anyone 32-34 and overweight and conceived naturally? How long did it take ? I feel sooooo disappointed to see my period this morning. 🙁

I tested for pregnancy on the day of my missed period and now I've done it again and it's still negative but I'm having no signs of my period coming and I'm actually starting to feel nauseous which is not like me at all! I don't know how to feel 🤷‍♀️

Has anyone collected colostrum from 37 weeks and gone over due date?
