2nd kid

My husband and I have decided to have a 2nd child. Our first is almost 2. How was the transition? My husband travels for work. I need all the advice.

My heart hurts so so bad. Me and my partner have had 2 losses this year and now I find out I have PCOS. My ovaries were filled with cyst on the ultrasound today. My heart just felt like it was crumbling. We want a baby so bad. We have been officially trying 3 cycles now, yet we weren’t being safe for over year now at this point. I do have high testosterone. I am truly so worried about all the requirements I’m hearing now that have to change just to manage my chronic condition. I do have endo stage 4 as well. I have 3 children and it took me awhile to conceive them as well. I just want a chance at a redemptive story around my pregnancy/birthing past. 🥲

?? Line eyes… vvv fl?

In some lights I feel I can see a v v faint line. In other lights, it looks completely negative.

Period missing ?

I’ve had about 4 periods since having my daughter she is now 7 months old but my period has jsut disappeared these last few months my last 4 after having her were irregular either early or late but it’s not like me to miss two periods,I’m not pregnant I’ve got a blood test on Thursday because my gp is concerned
but any advice or help of why would be nice !

Evap line?

Is this an evap line? It has colour in person..I always thought evap lines didn’t but I know these blue dye tests are awful for them!🤦‍♀️

10DPO negative again!

Period due Saturday, anyone got any miracle stories that this could change 🥲

Not sure whether this is positive

11dpo

Another baby 👶🏼

Is anyone else wanting another already and possibly trying?

We have a 3 year old and a 9 week old and I just want another.. it took us a while for baby number 2 as we had miscarriages. I know guidelines say wait but I know so many people who had their next ones close in age (some meant to some did not) but I feel like it’s right for us.

TTC baby #2

Currently TTC baby number 2, how long did it take everyone? i’m 22 healthy and no health issues,don’t smoke don’t drink, my partner is 28 healthy with no health issues and doesn’t smoke… currently cycle number 2 and just got a negative test! i’m disheartened to be honest even though i know it is normal to take a while! i’m impatient and have severe anxiety:(

Chemical and then pregnant

Hey, so I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle. I started bleeding or my ‘period’ for over a week on 31st August after the positive tests a few days prior.

This month I haven’t done any ovulation tests we just went with the flow. I’ve now had a positive pregnancy test!

They are much darker than last time. I’m just wondering is it possible to get pregnant and have positive tests this soon after??

I’m really worried after what happened last month and I just don’t wanna get my hopes up to then end up with another loss or not pregnant😢
