Sites We Like

In your trying to conceive, pregnancy and parenting Journey, you will be shocked how useful the internet can be! Anything can be found if you look for it. We have used the internet for everything from finding our donor, researching method and talking to other ladies trying for a baby, to setting up and writing this blog. Here’s some sites that we have found useful!

Baby And Bump – my very favourite forum on the internet! Here you can find sub forums for any child related issue that you can think of. Right from Waiting To Try, Trying To Conceive, Long Term Trying To Conceive, Assisted Conception and Pregnancy Loss, through to forums for pregnancy, breastfeeding, formula feeding, birth stories and behavioural issues. I love Baby and Bump!

Fertility Friends – A lovely forum that is generally more geared towards to assisted conception side of things
