Community Posts, Tips & Support on Trying to Conceive

Honest, unfiltered, and in real-time: what women like you are talking about. Peanut group chats, support, and posts on Trying to Conceive.

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.

Both took roughly one to three cycles, and now it's already five cycles and we're still not falling pregnant. :( As the time goes by, it gets even more difficult to keep hopeful and the disapp...

Semen analysis

Hi, my partners semen analysis couldn’t be carried out due to “too little of a sample” they said there wasn’t enough sperm to assess the motility and morphology. Has anyone been int his position before and does this mean he is producing extremes low- 0 sperm ?
