Did I time it right!? Promising???

What do we think about this graph and the symptoms? I had severe ovulation pain on my right side, then got EWCM, and then got an ovulation test that was positive! Then it went down a lot. I feel like we BD a lot so our odds are high! We’ve been TTC for almost 3 years… 2 failed IUIs and 2 IVF cycles that ended in mis...

Anyone else trying to be a Solo Mum?

I've been told I have a limited time in which to get pregnant and I'll need medical help. I'm not in a relationship, so beginning the process of IVF with a sperm donor. Is anybody else single?

Wanting to try 6months pp…😖

Hey all, be honest with me. Is it strange to want to try again for another baby and give my son a sibling? I am 6 months postpartum with my first born and wonder if it’s too soon?

Waiting 18 months?

A Google search tells me women should wait 18 months to get pregnant again for their bodies to recover. Do you feel like this is necessary or have you had a 2nd baby under 18 months and felt like it was hard on your body or normal? Just curious!

TTC

Does this look like it makes sense? Also, I just removed my copper IUD 12/16 which I had since 2022. Has anyone been on the same boat if so how long did it take you to conceive? I’m also on zepbound for insulin control. I heard it can sometimes make you fertile. Thoughts ?! Says I’m supposed to ovulate around the 21...

TTC

I’ve been trying for the last couple months, and nothing has been successful. How do I get my numbers higher? Last time I got pregnant, was almost 5 years ago and it was right after a miscarriage so I was very fertile still. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Trying for baby #2

So my husband and I decided to start trying for baby#2 (been trying for only two cycles-both negative). Our first is 15 months old and was born in October. Husbands birthday is also in October and if we try this month we would have another October baby so we will most likely skip trying this month. I guess I’m just ...
