If it’s worrying you get a fertility MOT. We did as 12mths in as no pregnancy. It actually flagged an issue and we started ivf (we now have 2 babies 🥰) but we would have wasted a long time trying and hoping for it to happen naturally.

8mths really isn’t a long time when you think that’s only 8 periods but I liked taking a bit of control of the situation.

Are you in the uk? A couples MOT is about £350.

How old are you? The NHS refer you for fertility help if over 35 and been trying for over 6 mths

Good luck :) all will work out eventually!!

me and my partner have been trying for 2 years and not been referred. Can I refer myself?

4.5 years for us, it does get harder each time but don’t give up. I was determined to conceive naturally so kept going and now I have my baby girl x

speak to your gp. Normally ivf is not available on the nhs if you already have a child. I would maybe get some private assistance and go from there. Sometimes it’s diet or lifestyle changes that are needed

2.5 years. 2 miscarriages and now I have a 8 month old little girl
I was considering getting fertility testing but I was too scared in case something came back bad.

you won’t get nhs help if you or your partner already have a child you have to pay privately xx

they can refer you to a NHS fertility doctor

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been
