TTC naturally

Hi all, I have been TTC for four years now and haven’t had success. I wanted to know what others have tried before choosing to do IVF? Thanks!

Four years is a long time . Please get in touch with your local doctor who can organise tests etc . The sooner you get tested, the sooner you will get to the bottom of the problem to fix it . Be warned many cases of infertility can be unexplained .

I hope you're doing okay! Infertility is not an easy journey. I have a similar story with a few losses and an ectopic pregnancy. We were just about to start IVF but in god's timing, we had a spontaneous pregnancy that same month and now have a healthy baby after 4 years.

Definitely agree with having full panel bloodwork and hormone testing done. It'll give u insight before diving into medical treatments. I would also recommend tracking your ovulation using a temp drop or mira if you haven't already.

I worked with a naturopath and functional medicine practitioner and I feel the protocol they created for me helped me conceive. Lots of sunlight, red light therapy, detoxing the pathways (through supplements & sauna) progesterone cream, ozone therapy etc and most importantly balancing my blood sugar!

Thanks for the wonderful advice and for sharing your journey. I tried IUI about 15 months ago without success. Hoping a full panel will shed some light on hopefully optimising a natural conception 🙏🏼
How much red light therapy was recommended/did you do ?

Faint positive?

I’m on cycle day 25 but my cycles are normally 15 days so I’m 9 days late on my period.. maybe too early to be testing🙃

Digital tests

I’m 4+4 today, and still getting 1-2 weeks from conception on clear blue. Really was hoping I’d get a 2-3 by now, I’ve had 3 early losses in the last two years, currently on progesterone, aspirin & clexane. Feeling so anxious. When did everyone else get 2-3 on a digital? X

Toddler and a new born

I'm on maternity leave.

Just had a new baby.
My daughter is 2.8 years old and I'm considering taking her out of nursery, but wonder if I can manage.

But surely I can, so many people look at 2 kids at one time.

Please share your experience looking after a new born and toddler.

Nursery fees are sooo much, so I'm thinking for financial reasons too take her out. But is it worth it?

This is negative, right?

So I just took this pregnancy test, and I’m looking for a second opinion.
This test looks negative to me.

Line eyes?

I’ve taken multiple easy at homes since yesterday afternoon and all seem to have a faint line. I would say maybe a bad batch however I took an easy at home in the Wednesday when I was 7dpo and it was stark negative so feeling very confused.
