Trying to convince
I feel like we were so close but something happened. There were major changes AF for example, and yet she got her period. Stressful.

TTC December friends?
Anybody TTC in december & would like to keep in touch? Me and my wife lost our daughter in October & this is going to be our official month of trying again since visiting our high risk MFM went really well. I started my first period on November 26th but I’m still bleeding also so just waiting for it to be over so I can start testing with OPKs again, I’ve continued taking my prenatal vitamins & I’m also taking Pink Stork fertility pills too. All i want for the new year is to be able to have a healthy full term pregnancy again (I have two living boys ages 6 & 8, but have had 3 miscarriages this year with my daughter being my first second trimester loss), & to bring home a healthy baby no matter the gender at this point. Baby dust to all you mommas who are trying again, i hope we all get to bring home a healthy baby in 2023! 🙏🏼❤️👼🏼🌈

Ivf cost lesbian couple
Hi my wife and I desperately want a child and though we are stable and our make decent money we’re having trouble coming up with the $13-16k for ivf (with all of our other bills) especially with the cost groceries going up it’s actually pretty hard to put enough money away to get to that amount of money anytime soon.I know that we can not be the only people who faced this issue I am wondering if anyone received a grant or had any luck with a specific insurance company, or if you didn’t just have almost 20 thousand dollars lying around how did you get to the point of being able to afford it.We have decided iui isn’t for us as my wife wants a biological child but does not want to be pregnant and I want to carry the child but already have biological children of my own, thank you in advance for any advice

6 or 7 dpo
I’ve been having mild cramps past 3 days and started to spot a little yesterday morning. It was a little rusty color then transitioned to a light pink/red color. It’s never enough to get to a liner just when I wipe. I used the restroom this morning and it was a little brownish like it’s done for something. I’ve been pretty exhausted the last 4 or 5 days and going to be early, which is not common for me. I’m a ParaPro/Cheer coach at a high school so my energy level is pretty high. 🤣 Now I catch myself yawning by 12 and ready for a nap. 😂 I did at home insemination on the 23rd and 25th while doing OPK tests that week. It peaked on the 23rd and was still the same color just not peaked on the 25th. Any thoughts???

Conceiving same sex relationship
So this post is to any and all same sex couples (preferably females) who have started a family together. Me and my fiancé are trying to take the steps into making a family together and I don’t know what the best and easiest way is. What do you guys recommend? We don’t have the money to get a sperm donor from a sperm bank, and I want it to feel natural. I’m 22 years old and she is 33 and I will be the one carrying the child. Have any of you gone outside of your relationship and slept with someone else to get pregnant or what do you recommend. Just looking for advice here because I have no clue where to start. Picture of us for attention 💕

Did you tell your family you were TTC?
Hey all!My wife and I have just started our journey of TTC -we had originally thought we wouldn’t tell our family until we were pregnant so that we could surprise them, but now we are having second thoughts.What did you all do? Did you tell them when you started the journey or are you waiting until you fall pregnant to tell them? TIA! X

Impatiently Patient
Hey all! Semi long post and a need for advice/experiences please!!We are gearing up for try #4 for our 2nd child! First time with a Known Donor. AF is due Friday or Saturday so we are just 2 weeks out from our try!! So it's an exciting time! We are headed up to the donor's area for a span of 5 days that range from the day before my earliest recorded Peak through the day of my patent recorded peak. This way we can cover our bases in case I peak early or later.For those who have done this process before, how did the mechanics of the insemination go for you? Were you intimate before your donor gave the donation and immediately inseminated once they donated? And if you chose this route did you use any fertility lubricant to keep your CM optimal in the downtime? Or did you wait until after the donation to have the intimacy and inseminate? I'm curious as to which process you felt the most comfortable with.Any advice helps!! Thanks!!

TTC attempt #182714
Or so it seems. I am 2 days late, but this has happened before. I am trying to not get my hopes up this time. I have been symptom spotting. I am avoiding a test bc I don’t want to see that BFN again. We have been trying for over a year for our second kiddo. We use a donor and I am so worried the donor will change his mind.

Donations - how many before bfp?

Provera and Letrozole cycle 1
Hello all!! New to the community tab of the app but could really use some other opinions. My girlfriend and I are trying to have a baby with a donor doing at home insemination.. My cycle started July 24th, it’s really irregular so I am being treated for PCOS. My cycle is typically 3-4 days total. I took provera 10mg for 10 days and bled normally for 4 days and spotted for 3 additional days totaling 7days my period was on which has never happened prior to taking the Provera. I started the Letrozole 2.5mg on cycle day 3-7 like instructed and started testing on cycle day 10. All while taking 1500mg of metformin, 2000mg inositol and, baby aspirin (doctor says it lowers chances of miscarriage). I purchased clearblue advanced ovulation tests and regular clear blue ovulation tests and I am testing 2-3 times a day since I’ve started getting the blinking smiley faces. I got my first blinking smiley face (high fertility) on cycle day 13 (aug 5th) with egg white stretchy cervical mucus since Cycle day 9 (aug 1st) and I am still getting the high fertility and still have the egg white CM. I am trying to wait until I get the solid smiley (Peak Fertility) before inseminating but I am getting a bit nervous I will not get that peak fertility but fingers crossed! 🤞🏾alongside testing, I am tracking my cervix posit and cervical mucus, with about 5 apps and a journal. my doctor said being that it’s the first medicated cycle I likely will not ovulate until the 2nd round which she will up the doses. However, I’m reading a lot of posts of people saying they do ovulate the first time around so should I request a trigger shot? Any extra tests I should request? Or medications? I tried for 14 months in 2020-2021 had 1 success but ended in a miscarriage so I took a break for a few months and I am currently actively trying again and I am on month 2 of trying again. Any extra information you guys could give to help, or any tips is greatly appreciated.

What will your baby call you and your partner?
I’m really curious to know what your baby will call you and you partner! My wife and I are a lesbian couple TTC. We were going to do “Mommy” and “Mama” but I’m not sure…
