Conceiving!

Can anyone give me tips for the best ways to help conceive? Our first daughter was a surprise but we’ve been trying for another for a while and haven’t had any luck. Staying anonymous as I know lots of people on here and don’t want anyone knowing we’re trying yet! Tia🤍

Caution

I took a pregnancy test after having strange symptoms. I have the marina coil but after speaking to the clinic decided to get a test even though the chances of being pregnant were extremely low if not 0. I’ve had the coil in for 2 years and no period since. I took a pregnancy test, Morrisons own brand, and got a cle...

Help!! Freaking out because I can’t tell if these are positives or evap. lines.

These are two different tests taken on the same day. I have the Paragard copper IUD, and I noticed I haven’t had my period for 1-2 months. So I decided to check. Now I’m freaking the fuck out 😣

What does this mean!?

So there's a line but it's thin and half way up!? This was also checked on about an hour later as I fell asleep! I'm guessing it's just a problem with the test?

Random question...

I hope this is not insensitive of a question. I mean no intentional harm emotionally.. its just something i just thought of today and wanted to ask on here. If a couple gets pregnant in the first to third cycle with every child regardless of their age.. does this mean they have good quality eggs? Does the duration ...
