Are there any updates on Grace? Last I heard she was in a coma after delivering the babyI know I'm going to be confronted with this decision very soon as I had gestational diabetes with my first baby and now am on the shielded list as of last week although I'm not going to shield as its voluntary and I actually have covid now. I think I might get the vaccine at some point in my pregnancy. I keep thinking about Grace Victory and the dangers of late pregnancy covid. Scary though as they just don't know if its 100%. Im only 6 weeks so hopefully have time to think about it!
Her family haven't done one in ages, just do praying messages for her. So so sad, missing out on the first two months of her baby. So tragic!Are there any updates on Grace? Last I heard she was in a coma after delivering the baby
I’ve not been on contraception for almost 6 years - we were using withdrawal method and never got pregnant. When I had my various tests all the doctors were shocked I think. I’m now on month 3 of trying. Don’t know if that helps muchGood Morning all,
Apologies if this has been discussed before. Just looking for some advice/re-assurance.
We stopped using all contraceptive mid 2017. I was tracking my cycles with an app. My periods returned after 3 months post contraceptive. I would say we were not 'trying' to concieve at this point. Avoiding the fertile window but seeing how it went and if we did fall on then great but if not we werent too concerned. Often my periods would be early or late so the fertile window changed once my period had arrived and appeared there were times where we had done it and I was in the fertile window. Last year we started trying more, not avoiding fertile window. Periods went very irregular last year when had been fairly regular before that (except the odd longer cycle once or twice a year) was going longer between periods. So struggled to pinpoint ovulation.Things seem to be settling again this year. After last year and no conception we have been referred for fertility treatment. This year have started using OPK to help the chances of concieving. I guess my question is - would you be concerned after 3.5 years of not using contraceptive and no pregnancy? I feel I am not valid to feel a bit worried as the first 2 years we were not 'actively trying?' But the last year upto now we were? Thanks
Hi, first time posting but I was literally going to ask about this!Potentially opening a can of worms here but what is everyone’s thoughts on the COVID vaccine whilst TTC? I know the advice is not to get it if you are already pregnant but wasn’t sure what it is if you’re trying.
Hi just to say I hear you and have been debating with exactly the same thoughts. I work on the frontline so have already been offered the vaccine but haven't had it yet as I can't make up my mind. I also have pcos and husband has infertility male factor too.Hi, first time posting but I was literally going to ask about this!
We have only been trying for 2 months but I was diagnosed with PCOS in my early 20s (I’m 30 now) so I know it will be harder for me to fall pregnant anyway but all this talk of the vaccine affecting fertility does scare me.
If they are saying you don’t get the second dose until 12 weeks later and then you have to wait another 3 months after that to wait, that seems like a long time.
I know they are saying all adults will be offered a vaccine by July. I don’t know what to do. I’ve read so many conspiracy theories as well which doesn’t help. But even without the conspiracy theories of “they are trying to depopulate the world” the fact is, it hasn’t been around long enough for us to know the long term effects.
Sorry, this was a long post and I’ve basically not answered the questionI’m still undecided basically.
How many ladies here have had the vaccine/are happy to have it?
I still feel too young at almost 33I will get vaccine but just means we'll push back TTC. If they can get all adults on the first vaccine by end of July, that's okay for me as it'll be our first and gives us a bit of time to sort ourselves out a bit more. I can understand why some people may be more anxious about it though. I've been lurking here because I am nervous as hell about TTC and still feel too young - I am 28!
Nothing like adulthood to make you feel like a teenager again, eh?!I still feel too young at almost 33
This is also me at 30I still feel too young at almost 33
Haha yeah! Me too!! It’s such a strange time!! I guess you’re never ready until it happens!This is also me at 30feel like I'm not grown up enough yet to raise a whole human but feel like I should be doing it at the same time!!!
So hard, isn’t it. I’m a teacher so not exactly the frontline but still mixing with lots of children and adults so it worries me!Hi just to say I hear you and have been debating with exactly the same thoughts.

I’m a teacher too. What’s your school’s policy about pregnancy and Covid if you don’t mind me asking? Mine is saying that all pregnant women should work from home in all three trimesters, which in some ways I think is amazing, but the first trimester is scary, and surely means you need to essentially announce your pregnancy from the moment you get a positive test. I’m tempted to contact either a union rep or HR and find out the protocol but I was hoping I’d have been pregnant and out of the first trimester before we go back. Currently on my period and due back at work in 2 weeks so no chance of that!So hard, isn’t it.

I think I will just wait and see like Makeupaddict said and fingers crossed I get pregnant before July (which is when they are saying every adult will be offered one) as I definitely won’t have it if I was pregnant but if I’m still trying...I don’t know.
Thanks for the TikTok video Marymoo. Very interesting and definitely something to think about.
I’m not sure tbh but I imagine they expect pregnant women to be in school except for the third trimester if the woman wants to work from home. I’m only going on what happened last September...we had two pregnant teachers, one wanted to come back to school so did right up until baby was nearly due, the other one didn’t but she had to fill out a risk assessment saying why it wasn’t safe and the school eventually agreed and let her work from home.I’m a teacher too.
