Calling it quits

Just got my fertility test results back. Everything is all over the place. Pre-diabetes risk. Vitamin D levels low (working to reverse these). Hubby's sperm levels are SUPER low. My ovarian reserve is severely low (37F with one child already). But also, learned that I'm a carrier for spinal muscular atrophy and it'd be an increased risk for our child to have it.

It's amazing that we were able to even have a child (2.5) with how hard it has been trying for the second (1 CM and 1MMC)for the past year and a half.

But with all this new info...I'm not sure we'll ever be able to have another biological child. So we're gonna have to call it quits. This sucks.

What were your feelings after diagnosis?

My 2.3 year old daughter was diagnosed with autism today. She just started speech therapy today as well, so it's been a whirlwind and honestly, extremely overwhelming!

I was a bit surprised at the diagnosis, but it makes sense, seeing her compared to other two year olds.

What were your initial feelings after your child was diagnosed and how did you handle it?

For me...I just want a big ol' nap.

Hello period ughhhh

My hubby and I were intimate (IUI) every other day from day 10 to 21 of my fertility window.

I've been pregnant 3x. My first pregnancy was easy, and I delivered naturally in 2024 when I was 34.

Had a chemical in 2025 and a MMC in Feb. 2026 at 9W. Was then diagnosed with a blood clotting autoimmune disorder, antiphospholipid syndrome.

Been trying since then and no dice. My last three cycles...the first I ovulated later, so I missed it. The second we had sex on ovulation day and no baby. This third one that I'm currently in, we did everything "right" and who decides to visit late in the midnight hour? Aunt Flo.

I'm sad, angry and feeling like God is just telling me that I'm not supposed to have another child. I just want to give my daughter a sibling since she has no cousins, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

Sharing post to story, but it's blank?

This has been happening for a few weeks now. I'll post something to my IG. Then I go to post it on my story and it just shows up blank. IDK why it's happening, but it's incredibly frustrating! When I create my own stories or share someone else's post, I have no issue. But probably 6 out of 10 times when I try to reshare my own post, nothing shows up. any advice?

Who knew trying for a second would be this hard?

First pregnancy was smooth, no issues (minus public symphsis dysfunction). Gave birth at 40+3 in 2024.

Had a chemical pregnancy Aug. 2025

Had a missed miscarriage Feb. 2026.

Thought I was pregnant last month since my period was 5 days late only for it to be a case of late ovulation.

Diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome last month.

Now, it's day 28! Was intimate all throughout my fertility window....just for my period to show up this morning just as I was about to take a pregnancy test. UGHHHH.

Abandoning ship....don't think 26 month old is ready yet

Tried potty training the past two days and I'm throwing in the towel until my daughter is a few months older. I don't think she's ready yet.

She can't pull down her pants, she's fine being in her diaper (shows no discomfort, although she thinks pulling off her diaper in public is hilarious -__-), she doesn't hide to go pee or poop and she's not really verbal yet (speech therapy is set for Sept.) so she's not telling us that she has to go pee or poop. She loves to flush the toilet and wash her hands, but there was no connection to potty training beyond that.

We're not defeated, we just want to give it more time.

How to deal with hesitant feeling when pregnant

Hey ya'll!

I have a healthy two year old daughter, but I've had two miscarriages within the span of six months (1 chem, 1 MMC). Labs came back normal.

Hubby and I are trying again, and I'll test tomorrow to see if I'm preggo, but after multiple miscarriages, do you even get excited about being pregnant? Do you deal with a sense of hesitancy when you see the positive test?

I'm trying not to be negative, but a tiny bit of me feels like "Let's see if this one will actually stick."
