I’m having a pity party if anyone wants to join? I’m on blood thinners for low PAPP-A, have got Gestational Diabetes and am on tablets for that plus blood tests 4 times a day (where I bruise like a peach because of the blood thinners) and the worst sciatica so am currently clinging to my tens machine. I can’t rest a...

My partner and I are trying for our second baby and I was wondering if anyone had a girl when they conceived on their ovulation day? We have a little boy but I really want a girl as we have decided we would only like 2 children. I would be still very happy and grateful if we have another boy but I’ve always dreamt o...

In shock! Not supposed to get my period For 2 more days. Took a test bc my boobs have been sore and I have been feeling out of breath the last 2 days. VERY faint line - will test with clear blue later. Had a missed miscarriage end of February - praying this sticks !!!

My husband just got his sperm analysis and it was all at the very very bottom of “normal.” Technically only the motile count is “below normal values” but they are all at the extremely low end of normal… how worried should we be about this? Is ICSI likely? What can we do to fix this? Our doctor won’t be available to...

So I keep getting positives on morning when I’m testing on night it’s negative is that normal early pregnancy so confused ?

So I’ve been TTC for three months this now. I’m new to this, my other pregnancies were like BOOM pregnant. So I am new to ovulation tracking but this whole time I’ve been making sure to baby dance when LH is the highest but I recently learned that you ovulate 24 hours after that. So now I feel like I might have been...

About to have consultation for IVF, was wondering has anyone had success with it who has had a child naturally before, no idea what to expect really but trying to keep positive.

My period was June 9th and we didn’t have sex at all that month. But we had sex July 3rd and I wasn’t ovulating then I took a test 5 or 7 days later I was ovulating and missed my period. I have irregular periods from my second. But I know we definitely didn’t have sex in June. Then when I take the test the line is r...

Has anybody used maca root for fertility? If so, can you provide info on the type and right way to use it. Are there any concerns to look for? Please suggest some good brands. TIA

I guess I need to get another test but what do you guys think this looks like ? Adding another pic in comments 😭😭

Hi! I test daily for ovulation, I have super irregular/long cycles and haven’t managed to seemingly catch my peak days since I conceived my son in 2022- born Jan 2023. I took a test this morning and thought I was starting to peak as the line was getting stronger! I’ve just taken another one literally less than 6 hou...

Hi there so a bit of background. I was loosely diagnosed with ‘possible PCOS’ last year - I wasn’t at the time TTC it was just that my periods became really infrequent. All my bloods came back normal but a scan showed some cysts hence the loose diagnosis. In the last 6 months I have been TTC but it’s been hard a...

I got 2 negatives and faint positive now I m confused..period delays by 3 days

We started out TTC journey around 6 months ago. I usually have awful PMS symptoms that mimic pregnancy so I try my best to ignore them and not get my hopes up. This month however, it's like PMS on steroids! Now x4 days late and scared to test in case I get another negative. I feel so silly that I'm more nervous to...

Has anyone tested and it was always negative and then tried the clear blue 6 days early and then it was positive? I’m 10 DOP I really feel pregnant but normal tests still negative

Can I see others testings...is it normal to completely bounce a round? Got excited last night with my 0.41 and today 2nd urine of the day it's shot down. I've taken it earlier time wise due to being up a lot earlier as kids went away would that matter?

Hi everyone, I am currently TTC and I want to get checked for fertility issues. My GP won’t do it as I have been TTC for a year, can anyone recommend any clinics in the UK for testing? It doesn’t matter if it’s private, I just need to know! TIA x

Hello ladies, I’m currently going through egg retrieval process and I feel very defeated today. I’m on my 7th day today and started cetrotide. It was very painful and it felt like the needle was in there half an hour later. The menopur is starting to be very painful as well. I have been eating well, drinking enough...
