Collecting colesterum

Anyone struggling/ not successful at collecting colesterum? I'm on day 2 of trying and I'm not getting anywhere.

I'm putting on a warm compress for 10 mins, massaging for 3 mins then trying for 5.

It’s okay and perfectly normal not to get any. If you find yourself getting stressed about it, that’s also going to stop it happening!

What helps me is having something oxytocin inducing on the television. I discovered this in my first pregnancy that I would leak every single time I watched The Dog House on channel 4! This time, when I’m reading to my 2 year old, I will leak so am putting collection cups on x

I’ve been also struggling, I’ve gave it a go and had few drops 3 days ago (just from one breast, other one nothing), got really excited and ordered some syringes to collect it with, and now for the past 2 days I’ve been trying once in the evening and once in the morning but nothing, its so frustrating which I know is not helping the situation, as should be relaxed and happy to get that oxytocin flowing.

I will be 37 weeks in Wednesday and have not had a single drop at all yet. Hopefully it will come in time x

Baby dads new kid

So my baby dad has never been involved or met My daughter he wasn’t intrested and said some nasty things and I think it’s best for her having him not there when she’s older I will tell her who he is as it’s her right to know an when she’s older she can decide on whatever she wants ti do he’s never been intrested but now he’s got a new baby with his gf and is involved and was happy with this baby I and I don’t know how to feel it’s not the baby’s fault or the mums but it’s weird to think m you daughters got a half sibling but I’m scared on how she will feel growing up if she feels rejected or not good enough I had a similar situation with my mum growing up and jus don’t want her to feel the same way and ofc if she ever wants to know her brother when she’s older it’s up to her as he’s still her brother but I don’t know jus keep thinking about it a lot and I’m sorry if this doesn’t make best sense I’m not good at writing things out 😭

Fertility treatment for 2nd child (NHS-UK)

I have PCOS and I am 10 months pp.
Im 31 and I had to use clomid and HCG to achieve pregnancy with my 1st. I have just been diagnosed as pre menopausal as well as having hyperthyroidism. Im still breastfeeding my 10 month old and want to continue until he is 12 months old at least.
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do to get pregnant? The NHS wont fund my 2nd and with my body clock rapidly ticking, I am terrified I wont be able to have a 2nd. We really cant afford private fertility treatment 😔
