Why have I never heard of Silent Endometriosis?

I'm almost at 10 years TTC and have just been told asymptomatic endometriosis is a probability. Why have I never heard of it? Do you have any information about it? BTW I've booked the appt to enquire but while I wait I thought I'd ask the community.

9dp5dt beta - 101

Trying to be hopeful, but not feeling great about my beta today. I know this is a perfectly strong number, but I worry as it’s a third of what my last beta was with my daughter and my pregnancy tests have looked basically identical 7dpt-9dpt. I know about later implantation, but I got a vvvfp 4dpt, so I don’t think it’s that :( anyone else not see progression and have a successful pregnancy? I’m worried it’s a chemical and my beta is already going down and 101 is just the start. Ugh. Feeling so down and stressed.

2 under 3..

Is it really hard? I need words of encouragement, me and my husband have decided to start trying in October, our daughter will be 18 months which means we could potentially have just over a year age gap. (It may of course take longer to conceive)

Positive stories please? Incognito as I don’t want friends and family to see and know we’re going to start trying

Trying for Baby No 2

We have an 18m old with our last 2 frozen embryos in storage and think we have decided to try again.

We were a long time TTC and our first baby was via our 3rd transfer so I was trying lots of different things, acupuncture, no caffeine/alcohol/perfume, eco friendly brands, drinking bone broth etc!

Our doctor has suggested the same meds which is natural cycle plus progesterone, but with a toddler on the run I don’t know if I’ve got the headspace or energy to do all the “extra stuff” and if any of that helped anyway?

I feel more relaxed this time but also want to give it the best shot so feel like I need to prepare.

Anyone else been in a similar position?

Looking for the real, raw advice/ hacks that has worked for you as a mom of 2 under 2

Hey guys I just welcomed a beautiful babygirl December ‘25 and expecting a baby boy in December ‘26. Was it planned? Absolutely not. Is it happening? Absolutely. I’m not new to motherhood as I have an 8 year old daughter but I am new to have multiple children and learning to be there for all parties and myself as well. I am also looking for advice on how to juggle two under two, any hacks that worked for you, advice on what helped you and your marriage/partner navigate through this chapter of life.
Thank you guys in advance 🫶🏼🫶🏼
