Fertility supplements

I have been ttc for about 3 years now, with no luck no at all. I am now 30 and worried it won’t happen at all. Any tips on things you’ve taken to help get you pregnant?

Hi! I am also 30 and am pregnant with my first. Letrozole 7.5 mg with monitoring and a trigger shot, mucinex, pre-seed, and daily meditation were all the things I did on the cycle when I finally got pregnant. I hope this helps! Wishing you the best 🥹🤍

We just kept trying. We've been trying for roughly 4 years. I'm in my late 30s. If it's meant to be it'll happen girlie. Praying for you!<3

Have you been refereed for tests to see if there is anything preventing you becoming pregnant? Possibility of IVF discussed?

Talk to your GP. You can typically get a prescription for Letrazole or Clomid if you are having trouble conceiving (you've been trying for three years so you should have no trouble at all with the length of time). A lot of the time, that is enough; if it isn't, you can be referred for a fertility consultation. They will discuss options with you, not just IVF but also IUI (Intra-uterine insemination) and other alternatives, typically the least invasive first.

There is also testing that can be done during all of this; your anti-mullerian hormone levels can estimate the amount and quality of your egg reserve, and your partner can get sperm testing done. These kinds of tests can be helpful because they will direct you to the right treatment. If your partner, for example, has a high sperm count but not so great quality, you may be a good candidate for IUI because they will specifically select the best quality sperm and greatly streamline the process.

Fatherhood

Has the father of your child(ren) been alone with them for more than a few hours?

Just wanted to do a poll because I’m shocked that some people on here post about the father not taking care of their kid(s).

Negative, right?

Hi all, so a few people have said they can see something forming but honestly I just see a plain negative. Wanted to see what you think.

Is this a positive test?

I’m one day before my period is due but I’ve been having so many symptoms that I had with my little girl. This isn’t a morning wee or one of the 6 day early tests you can buy. I’m sure I can see a faint line but I’m really not sure!

First ever month TTC first baby, I’m still learning!
I got two very clear negatives this morning at 8dpo. 😖😖 I’m trying to not be disheartened and telling myself it’s still possible this cycle.

Has anyone else had strong negatives early on and tested positive a few days later?

When you decided that you were done having children what options did you go for?

Breaking Generational trauma/cycles

Hello everyone! I am pregnant for the first time, 10 weeks! I am the eldest sibling in my family, and the first one on my mom side to have a child in my generation.
Before I became pregnant, I had started cutting ties and distancing myself from a lot of family, because I see how some generational traumas are continuing throughout our bloodline and I am not OK with it. Especially around discussions of safe touch and religion.

Now that my family knows I’m pregnant, I’m torn between allowing them the opportunity to build a relationship with myself in this stage of life, or continuing the distance while I figure out what I want mommy life to look like for me.

I’m wondering if anyone has had similar struggles? It feels so scary to be walking away from my family, but I’ve never fully felt like I belong, and I do not want that for my child either.
