2 mum family

Hello! I am a 2 mum family with a little girl on the way! My partner is 38 weeks pregnant and I am so excited to meet her I am just nervous as she still doesn’t feel like mine. We done AI and found a donor and I was involved in the whole process but I think I am struggling with the idea of she doesn’t have any of my DNA. I was just wondering if there was any other mums out there who felt the same way? And how did you come to terms with it and was it easy to bond with baby when they was here?

I obviously know for a fact that she is my baby and I will always be her mum, I just always have in the back of my head that I am not biological to her and it upsets me and I want to over come that so I can be the best mum she needs 🫶🏻

IVF

This isn't really me asking anyone. I just don't have anyone to talk to about this stuff. My first IVF cycle failed, I got 5 follicles, 3 eggs and 3 fertilised but only one made it.

For my second cycle, I had egg collection yesterday. They got 7 follicles, 5 eggs and 4 fertilised.

I think the implantation failed last time due to me having stage 4 Endometriosis but I'm just really happy I've managed to get to this part again. This is my last funded NHS cycle as I cannot afford it so I'm really hoping this works.

I'm 31 with low AMH.

Sorry just wanted someone to be excited with me 🤣🤣

Too overweight for fertility clinic referral?

I have recently seen GP who did a referral to fertility clinic, we have been trying about 15 months. I have PCOS and am in Metformin. I have a BMI of 32 (point something). I looked up the details for the local fertility clinic and the GP didn't give much information so I planned to call. I saw on the info they may reject your referral if BMI is over 30. I am now worried, I find it so hard to lose weight cos if PCOS. Anyone have any experience of this?

How screwed am I 🥲

I’m 3 months postpartum and stopped the mini pill about 2 weeks ago because of severe mood swings. This past Sunday, my husband didn’t pull out 🫣. I took a plan b Monday morning but according to ovulation tests I am ovulating today! Apparently plan b won’t delay ovulation if you’re already entering your LH surge and I would’ve been on Monday. I’m scared lol

Pregnancy

I am 38 years old.. I'm not 40 yet. I've been using the premom app. It says its ovulation day but I also took easy home ovulation test this morning. My LH levels are still low. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Faint lines progressing slow

Does anyone else around 15/16 dpo with a positive and have strong positive lines? Mine aren't dye stealing and it's making me anxious they're not strong.
