Recent ultrasound shows PCO

I had an ultrasound on Tuesday and the results on my app say PCO on my left ovary.

I have normal periods that are regular my only symptom that I have been getting is brown egg white discharge once a month mid cycle which is why I went to see my GP.

I was googling last night and I’m scared that it will prevent me from getting pregnant again as we have been trying the last 3/4 months.

Can anyone share similar or positive outcomes? 😭🫶🏼

Colourism

So I am Canadian-Jamaican and it’s such a spicy topic regarding skin colour. I have always considered myself black as both parents are from Jamaica. Externally, my dad would be considered “mixed” which stems from slavery. His family goes 2 generations back of mixed heritage. My mom is the descendant of Maroons that escaped to the mountains of Jamaica. When people ask what are you mixed with? I give them the spunky response with, “my mom and my dad.” Or when I tell them both parents are Jamaican they insist I give them more of a response.

Now that I have my daughter I already knew I had no control what DNA did in terms of skin colour. My fiancé is a dark skinned man from Antigua. When our daughter was born, she came out lighter than me. She is now 6months and basically is my twin except for when she frowns, that is all her father.

Now my mom has her “light skinned preference “ and has made comments on me dating a dark skinned man and she has also made comments about my daughter and her “good hair” and “nice skin.” Even my own dad has also chimed in on the skin colour of my daughter.

As a kid I struggled with identity and my blackness in schools that were predominantly East Asian. The very few black students in my school never wanted to be my friend because of how “light” I was.

I know times are different for some kids, but I wonder if any other moms out there struggle with colourism within your family or in the public?

Advice please.

Took pregnancy test yesterday morning came back positive ( faint line ). Took pregnancy test today ( morning ) it has came back negative 😔😔

Used the same brand and tested in the morning on both tests. Will add photos in the comments.

7mo still spitting up?

I thought he’d outgrew it by now! It’s just as much or maybe more. Anyone on the same boat? Not sure if it’s concerning, I’ll see his ped on Friday

Did you worry about finances when having a second child?

Like you might not be able to afford them, or what if your financial situation changed?
Child poverty is so high at the moment, higher than ever and I fear many people don’t take into consideration how expensive children are.
Not just when newborns but throughout their whole life! Especially from starting school to teen years!

Infant Adoption in Colorado

Hi there! My name is Natasha and I wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations, thoughts, or information for infant adoption in the state of Colorado.
A little about me 🌻
My situation is a little different and some what complicated but to not make this post super long, I am completely infertile and the only part that works in my internal reproductive system is my uterus 🥺 the path of IVF is out of the question for now as it is very expensive and with my history my chances are technically 0 (per many reproductive endocrinologist)
We have tried embryo adoption but unfortunately they didn’t attach.
At this time my expectations and hope are slowly disappearing and although it hurts to admit, my husband has started to give up on having kids. I would love to adopt but I think I need guidance and and support ❤️ thank you all for being part of this app ❤️❤️
