Would you offer to donate your eggs to your cousin?

My cousin who’s more like a big sister to me has been struggling with infertility for the past 2 years. She’s 41 and has tried every avenue to have a baby on her own. She looked into egg donors but hasn’t successfully found one and I’m considering offering her mine. Curious about your thoughts..?

Did parenthood become easier or harder when you had a 2nd baby? (Read below)

I have a 2 y.o. and she’s very VERY depended on me, she doesn’t let me do anything and always wants to play together. Making food is difficult for me some days. Drinking water.

Has anyone given up but still comes on here to support others?

I was exhausted coming here daily during my TWW. Posting tests swearing I saw a line and looking back I was definitely delusional. After 6 months of testing and trying, I’ve given up. Is there a group designed for us that gave up ttc?

I’m a bit confused

I had my daughter a year ago and after about 8 months of having her we have decided to try for another but it’s been about 7 months and still no luck … I thought once you’ve had a baby it was ‘easier’ to conceive I’m just worried somethings a bit wrong/off with me

Bittersweet mini rant

Ttc first (probably only) baby for 1.5y. PCOS and don't ovulate. We just spent the weekend with our friends and had a wonderful time with their baby. It was amazing, but it also hurt deeply that we don't have that ourselves. Just needed to get that off my chest.
