The frustration

Iā€™m just so annoyed that my body isnā€™t doing the right thing and I feel like Iā€™m getting myself so worked up about it all. I truly feel like giving up and Iā€™ve on been ttc for 4 mon...

Anxious!

Hello! Iā€™m new to this group. A little background: I had my first fresh transfer on the 22nd July and my first positive on the 31st. I have had some bleeding, which of course freaked me out - but it has stopped and Iā€™m still testing very positive. Annoyingly my funding doesnā€™t cover the costs for a beta blood test...

Trying for another baby

I had a baby at the end of Decemberā€¦. Is it bad that I already want to start trying for a baby again? How long did you wait/ want to wait? If you had your babies close together did you have any complications??? Edit: Thank you everyone for the comments. I think my ovaries just need to chill out. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Progesterone Support

I am currently 5w3d and was told by my fertility clinic that my HCG numbers are rising beautifully. My progesterone sat between 14-17 and my last blood test it fell to 12. The nurse told me itā€™s not worrisome until it falls to 10 or below but ideally they want to see it above 15. So they offered me progesterone sup...

Hot Take: Saying "Get Solid Starts!!" In response to literally every post asking for ideas, suggestions, or thoughts is not helpful.

Incog cause I'm not looking to argue šŸ˜‚ I don't care if you take offense or not, it's unhelpful and most of us already have the damn app. Solid Starts is not The Bible, calm down. Sometimes we like to hear actual ideas and personal suggestions rather than a parroted response that makes you sound like a damnā€¦

Struggling to conceiveā€¦

Has anyone struggled or are struggling to get pregnant? Itā€™s really getting me down cos Iā€™m not getting any younger and we wanted a small gap between our children and it just feels like itā€™s taking forever. Itā€™s currently been 5 months which I know might not sound long but I fell instantly with my LO. Iā€™m 38 now ...

Excited and nervous!!

I'm 6dp5dt and I had one pregnancy test taunting me in the drawer so I decided to take it just to get rid of it thinking for sure it would be too soon to get a positive result! I'm definitely beyond shocked. We've been ttc for over 4 years...it doesn't feel real. My first beta is on Friday. Anyone else test before...
