The first store, was not greeted at all but the people that came in after me were. The second store just kept...

No period?

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?

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?

First ovulation test!

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?

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...

Are my lines getting darker?

19dpo today, 4w6d and this is my line progression from the past 5 days. Do they look ok or like they are getting darker? I thought the bottom was the beginning of a dye stealer but not sure now Waiting for a dye stealer to stop testing 😴

Anyone else stare at a pure white negative test until they convince themselves there is a shadow 🥴 10dpo.

1 baby girl, 2 miscarriages and an ectopic with right salpingectomy just over a year ago. First month testing before period due.. why do we do it to ourselves!

If you could go back in time with the knowledge of how your partner would actually be as a parent would you still have children with them?

I know many people say they will be great, involved, helpful parents then immediately drop all of that once the child/children are born 🙃
