Community Posts, Tips & Support on Planning for a Baby

Posting incognito because I feel awkward about it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have my LO in November after trying for a few years. I am 100% I want more children and would love to have another soon. Is anyone in the same boat? When are you going to start ‘trying’?

We’ve fallen pregnant through IVF and I’ve tested everyday since getting a positive using easy@home tests. But I don’t know when to stop 🙈 I’m so scared to see the line fading again it’s gone from being fun seeing that second line every day, to becoming a bit obsessive. Our clinic don’t do bloods, but we have our 7…

Where can I obtain quotes for meds outside of my clinic? I’ve heard of Stork but wanted to know what others you recommend. TIA.

Help ladies! Faint positive or just me going mad?! 😂😭

Trying to decide whether to try for another baby soon or whether it would be best to wait a little longer so interested to know what everyone else is planning and why!

Any parenting book recommendations? Thanks in advanced x

10 dpo tested today evening .. plz comment

has anyone experienced tubal ligation and can share anything on it?

My orange wondfo test is WAY lighter than it was like four days ago. My ovulation strip was 22.93 two days ago I think and today it’s 12.9…. And the other two test strips is the first time using them. I’m 27dpo…

I got a really really really faint positive today. My partner, mum and I can all see it so not like it’s me having wishful thinking but it is SO faint. I’m 8 days late on my period - is it okay that it’s so faint? I will test again in 2 days and hope to see it darker with increased HCG but was a bit worried so was...

And after multiple mmc we have: I truly hope he or she is the one I get to carry this Christmas 😭

Hi all, I'm exactly 1 year down the line since my ectopic and left tube removal. We have been trying ever since with no luck. I hear people falling quite quickly after theirs. It keeps making me question is there something wrong with me. Will we ever get our chance for family?

First month trying for baby number 2. My period isn’t due until Monday so I have done the test too early (it’s not an early test kit). Am I going crazy or is there a line? It’s more clear in person. Picture is within the 10 minute window.

How are yall feeling? Anyone else 2-3DPO with me?

We’re currently trying to conceive for our 3rd little one, and got very faint positives yesterday (two top tests/1st pic in comments). It’s hard to get in the photo, but definitely faint second lines. Tested again first thing this morning expecting to be a bit darker but I don’t see one at all (bottom two tests/2nd ...

Found out I'm due my second baby in December. My first was born December 2023. I need positive stories of having 2 children so close together. My son is so attached to me, I'm scared about the separation this may cause between us.

Why is the decision to have a second so difficult? Is it just me? Phewww. I am 35 (just) and my son is 3 (also just!). Deciding whether to have another is way more difficult than deciding to have a baby at all I think. My concerns are money, space at home, tiredness, THE STATE OF THE WORLD. What did everyone else...

Apologies for incognito at the moment. This is day 29 of my cycle (usually 29 days) and I just thought I’d test. Weird background as the only background I had was a plaster 😅🤨 Thank you x
