Mixed feelings

Is anyone else wanting another baby even though their first isn’t even a year yet ? I don’t know how to explain the feeling it’s like I do but I don’t, I also don’t wanna wait too long if I am going to conceive again…

There a difference btw mom and dad gamers?

As often as you play the game or want to play the game (especially in the newborn-3 year old phase); has anyone ever verbally complained to their partner about having to take care of the baby and made your family feel like a burden?

Pregnant after having a NICU baby

I got a positive test almost after 2 and a half years later. I’m scared for this pregnancy and want it to go full term. Any advice I’m high risk.

Not currently ttc, but sad…. anyone else feel this way?

I feel heart broken knowing every month I have the chance to get pregnant but I’m not💔 Hubby agreed to start trying this spring but I can’t help but feel this sense of sadness and disappointment until then. I’d be ready to start trying now, until then, this is going to be hard

Is this a late ovulation?

My LH seems to keep upping & dipping, even though it’s low? Testing twice a day too. My original ovulation date was predicted on CD15 and now it’s guessing it’ll be CD18. I will keep testing to find my peak but is it normal to ovulate later in the cycle and fall pregnant? My cycles are between 27-30 days and CD1...

Jealous and impatient

just want to vent. I’m now testing negative after a miscarriage and just ready to try again but my OB won’t give me the green light until after I’ve had a period to help with timing. I tried explaining that bc my cycles vary in length my period isn’t a helpful predictor of when I’ll ovulate anyway and I have to use ...

Early pregnancy and asprin

So iv jusy found out I'm 4 weeks pregnant, but recently 2 months ago I had my 4th MC and someone told me now that I'm pregnant to start using asprin, but others are telling me not to use asprin as it can interfere with implantation.. Have you used asprin before and successfully had a full length pregnancy?
