Tears very heavy with this one

I have no reproductive issues and nor does my partner. I thought it was because I wasn’t tracking my ovulation right. Did ovulation tests… got my peak (very much later than I thought). Cycle day nine. AF due on the 27th. Every cycle ends in pure heartbreak and I didn’t know I’d ever even cry over a negative test. I ...

Did you struggle to conceive your first baby?

I mean did it take you a while to conceive? Did you need ivf? Have you got pcos or endometriosis which made it harder? Etc Also interested if you’ve got more than one did it happen quicker or slower with baby number 2?

Switching formula

My babe is currently on Similac total 360 and we have to switch to Similac advanced because of wic. Has anyone had their baby on the 360 and switched to the other one ? I’m scared my boy is gonna have a bad reaction to it but i also read how similar those 2 formulas are…

Am I alone?

Anyone else feel themselves losing their minds thinking about ttc and not being able to think about anything else? Second guessing every little thing my body does. Convincing myself I’m pregnant at only 3dpo even though I know that’s ridiculous. Wish I could switch my brain off for a bit 🙈

Easy baby

Anyone here has an easy baby? I can’t believe how difficult mine is, I got friends that gave birth after me and they all have a very clam and “easy baby”. I’m so fed up, I’ve been so miserable since the day he was born and it does not mean I don’t love him I’m just miserable all the time and have no patience anymore.

Do you have active long term HPV?

I’m trying to figure out if I’m alone or not. I’ve had active HPV for years now. I’m not sure how many but maybe 7 years maybe longer. I did some research about long term HPV, and it says it can turn into cancer if your body can’t fight it off and it can turn into cancer at like 7 years. I’m pretty sure this is not ...
