Let me borrow your eyes lol

Hi ladies!!! So hubby and I have been TTC and there are many factors that I felt like would create obstacles. So I’m actually kind of shocked! I use the Flo app and it suggested I test in 3 days unless AF comes tomorrow. So me being me… I tested today lol. I need another set of eyes to confirm I am not being delusio...

Trying for another 👶🏼

I currently have an IUD in and it’s supposed to come out January of 2026. I want to try and NOT have a fall/winter baby, because I’m December, my husband is December and my son is the end of November. I want a summer baby!!! I have a big trip coming up in July, so I’d rather not do it then. But when should we start...

Tubes tied

I have a 2 year old and I'm literally 9 months pregnant due any day. I am 100% wanting my tubes tied but don't know how to go about it? Has anyone done it? How long did it take to get it done from asking?

Has anyone else got an Orchid baby?

My lg is 16months and definitely a sensitive one, although she is fairly head strong and confident. Just wondering if anyone else has an orchid baby, as I want to start night weening and I know it's going to be tough for this reason?

How long did it take you to conceive baby 2?

I’m desperate for baby 2 but worried as I’m a little older and periods are a bit all over the place since I stopped breastfeeding that it’s going to be harder this time around

Trying for baby no.2

I'd love to know everyone's baby no.2 experience. When did you start trying and what's the age gap? For those that have had baby no.2 right after your first (within the following 12 months or so), how was it anatomically and physically? How did it feel physically to become pregnant again soon after? The NHS instill...

How old is too old

So I have a 9 month old baby and really really want another. I'm 35 so want to do it kinda quickly. I didn't have the best but certainly not the worst pregnancy. Am I getting too old? Any other mom's have multiple babies after 35??

A "wee wee" problem.....

Im a little nervous to write about this but.. not sure i am conformable to tell anyone in person. Ive been wanting to TTC and we usually try to aim for peak days. Other days can go on sexless really.

PCOS

Is anyone else in the same boat, I have PCOS and have been TTC since August. I never seem to get a ‘high’ or even a ‘peak’ on my ovulation tests. My periods are very irregular and light. Just wondering if anyone else is going through the same and has managed to conceive or any other advice? Xx

Trying for number two

Has anyone else started trying or thinking about trying for number two? Ideally I’d love a 2 year age gap, knowing it took so long to conceive the first time, are we stupid to start trying now?
