Mixed (Hispanic/white) Boy Names 💙🩵

My fiancé and I are struggling to find a suitable boy name. The only one we’ve considered is Noah, which I like, but I’d appreciate more options. I’m not a fan of conventional boy names. I’m looking for something unique yet still appealing. Could you suggest some places or ideas to help us find more unique names?

Conceiving after birth (post infertility)

Hi, I’m just looking for some advice, I’m only 20 weeks pregnant atm with my first but we’ve had so many issues conceiving in the first place, it’s taken 6 constant years of trying with not even one positive test until this baby! (No losses thank god)

After a few years of trying with no success we did find out I have an under active thyroid and PCOS and got diagnosed as infertile but now I can’t be happier!

Everything said I know I haven’t gone through the birth yet and I do want to give my body the time to heal but honestly we’ve always wanted a big family and there’s so much anxiety about being able to conceive again.

I know after you give birth you’re most fertile which is great but I just don’t know how long that lasts. I obviously don’t want to get pregnant 6 weeks after I’ve given birth but if that’s the only choice so it doesn’t take 6 years again I would do it :/

Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Fertility tracker success stories?

Hello mamas! I’m looking into fertility trackers (kegg, inito, etc.) after a year of failing to conceive. Does anyone have any success stories (negative reviews also welcome) to help me decide what might be best? TIA!

Any mommas gotten pregnant with IUD

Specifically copper IUD. If so, what happen did they take the IUD out or left it inside since it has no hormones.

Has anyone had success with pre-seed lubricant? I’m so worried it will mess things up.
