The UK law currently prohibits anonymous sperm donation and grants donor-conceived individuals the right to access identifying information about their biological father at age of 18. Do you think there should be the option for donors to remain anonymous in order to increase donor numbers, even at the potential cost ...

Hi there! I found out I was pregnant about a week ago, I should currently be 5w + 5d preggers (bout to be 6 days) I can't put 2 photos on here for some reason so I'll put the beginner tests in the comments However I've noticed my Hcg tests are fluctuating in Hcg strength. It's not necessarily getting weaker, it's ...

I’m currently 2 days late, we had sex 3/4 days before my apparent ovulation day. With my first born I had a few signs like implantation bleeding, cramps etc but this time round if I’m pregnant I’ve had no signs apart from not really being hungry. Sometimes my cycles are between 29-32 and the odd time of being 33 d...

Does anyone have experience with both / has considered which to go with? 😊

It looks grey to me but it showed up within the time frame

19 days late no symptoms. Should I be concerned for a positive pregnancy test? What are the chances. We’re sexually active but honestly not a lot so we’d both be surprised. But what do yall think? I’ll test tomorrow or tonight. Can’t go right now so and it’s all I have on my mind 😭

Did IUI, official test date is tomorrow. I would be able to see the slightest of something right? Can y'all confirm you don't see anything please. Please be kind in January I had a miscarriage. 😢

Negative right now start of a line right!

Hope you don’t mind me asking about this. Our clinic said to continue as normal in our life and we can also have sexual intercourse but we didn’t have actual sex we just played as bit and I had an orgasm with no penetration. If I go online some says to avoid orgasm for the contraction of the uterus and other says th...

Girls- my baby is 5 months old, and me and my partner both want to have our second already! I miss being pregnant and we both agreed we are ready, has anyone else done this?? I read to not get pregnant after about a year of birth, but.. Can I have some advice please xx

So me and my partner are trying for baby no.2, we’ve been trying but not properly trying for a while so this month we agreed we’d go all in with test sticks etc. He said just tell me when we need to bd, well that hasn’t gone to plan and when I’ve said it’s time he’s said he’s not in the mood 😩 so we’ve bd twice…

Anyone Nottingham based who’s been through or starting IVF, I’m so nervous, I’ve got my first consultation on Wednesday but I just have no idea what to expect, how long we will be waiting for treatment. My husband has a condition called oats. I haven’t had any investigations yet. I haven’t been told that we are defi...

I took this frer today not fmu and got a faint positive than hours later took a cheap blue dye and it was negative it did look funky loading so I don’t know how reliable it is but should I trust the frer or blue dye? I have another blue dye to take first thing in the morning.

I know this is extremely early in my motherhood journey as my son is only 4 months old. But what’s everyone’s thoughts on 2 under 2? I would love to have another baby when my son is like 1.5 years old. How was the transition? Do you feel that your first baby gets enough attention (my mom guilt gets to me when I th...

Interested as we wanted to start trying for baby number two at 9months PP but mine still hasn’t returned! 😢 if anyone has any tips for it to return let me know!

How do you know if you're one and done? I never wanted children, but now I have my daughter she is just my everything. And I know i can give her the world. Holidays, experiences, my time and attention etc. I just love that I can put my absolute all into her as she grows. I worry that I wouldn't be able to if we had ...

I know everyone wants a village and will think I’m selfish, but it takes the right village to make things work. I have both sets of families live close to us and it has been more stressful than helpful. It’s reiterating broken boundaries, watching family do things “their” way, and seeing them help by taking the bab...

This might sound dumb but did anyone stop getting their nails done before starting IVF? I know it’s alot of unnecessary chemicals just wanted to get everyone’s opinion
