Community Posts, Tips & Support on Planning for a Baby

Firstly, congratulations everyone! I got my first set of positive tests after 16 months of trying, 3 months after surgery for my Endometriosis! Totally anxious as expected. My cycle is super irregular. LMP 24th Jan, ovulated around 25th/26th Feb, Clear blue says 2-3 weeks. I'm guessing I'm 4 weeks roughly?!

I’ve taken a digital one after this and it says “not pregnant”

Could this be a evap? I’m 25 days late (pcos) and this has come up today, only a digital is negative!

Can anyone else see a vvvv faint positive or am I just wishful thinking and it’s a shadow/indent! TTC baby number 2 after a LONG journey for baby number 1!

Had my 16 week midwife appt today. Have to say I have left feeling a bit confused. The midwife said they've picked up some antibodies in my blood test but couldn't really explain to me what this meant. I've reviewed my notes and she's put 'Discussed antibodies - O Pos, suspected R1r NNA initiated' Google isn't givin...

Not sure if there is a line. I’m 11 days late on my period.

So every single time I take a test it’s negative at the time but I’m having major pregnancy symptoms still. When I check them an hour later lines appear? What is going on!! I’d convinced myself I was having evaps or a chemical pregnancy but the red dyes I took today and they’re getting darker? I’m bleeding that’s...

Does anyone in Scotland that has went private for an FET how long it takes for the transfer after the first consultation! I have my consultation on Friday 28th March. I have been told there is a 4-5 month wait does that seem about right? I’m hoping that’s worse case scenario. Just desperate to get started. Thanks 😀

I've had positives since Sunday on the easy@home but 2 negatives with the FR. I'm 10dpo so surely I'd show on the FR?

I was out and about with my son yesterday. We walked around and wandered into a few stores but I felt as if I was being judged for having my baby boy (6 months old, in his stroller, behaving nicely) with me. The first store, was not greeted at all but the people that came in after me were. The second store just kept...

Currently 7.5 months PP and my period returned at 5 months PP, I’ve been regular but am currently 4 days late- tests are negative and I’m just wondering if there’s any chance I could be pregnant with a negative test at this point? How long do I go without getting my period before I let my OB know?

My husband and I are both quite shy and lack social confidence. We both hate being this way and want our son not be like us, he is nearly 4 and seems quite shy too. I read a lot and suggestion is to be a role model which is not possible for us. Does anyone know if this is even possible to raise him to be sociable an...

Another negative test 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 I come here everyday to see the dumbest question “can you see a line?” On tests where you clearly see the faint line or second line meanwhile mine are literally just one line! 😢😢😢😢

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice. Does any other mums feel very uneasy about letting their baby go anywhere with dads side of the family? They have asked to have baby for some hours within the next few days. I feel so uneasy at the thought of this. I’m so scared that she doesn’t settle or incase anything goes wro...

The beginning of February I think i experienced a chemical pregnancy. I was 3 days late and had very faint lines on tests but then started to bleed 2 days later. We then didn’t track this cycle . I am now a week late on my period this month and have taken a test and it’s showing positive (this was taken seconds afte...

Has anyone had this problem with Morrisons test? Bottom one I took when I was busting for a wee and shown positive but not convinced as I then did another and shown negative

I’ve never done an ovulation test before. Yesterday I thought to myself, I’m sure I’m ovulating… so I got a test and sure enough! 😅 Just to double check as it is my first time doing an ovulation test, it is positive, right? It’s a Tesco ovulation test. I’m not necessarily consciously trying to get pregnant, but…

Has anyone been prescribed this to help get pregnant? We have been trying for almost 3 years, 4 miscarriages, had every test under the sun… and now I’m booked to see private gynaecologist again and I want to ask to try clomid… is this even possible to just ask for it? My cycle is irregular and I find it so hard to...

Just found out I’m pregnant with my 3rd child. All my kids will be spaced 2 years apart. I am freaking out because I already felt complete and ready to get on with my life again… but I’m scared of what this will do to our family dynamic. With 2 kids I have the time and energy to give everyone the attention and love ...

Very faint line but still hopeful!
