BFP!! But I’m in denial.

After struggling to conceive for what feels like forever, yesterday we got our positive test <3 it appeared so quickly and very clearly that it feels too good to be true.

Anyone else feel like an imposter?

I've had 3 positive tests and am experiencing literally every symptom and I still feel like it's fake and it's just in my head 🙃 does anyone else feel like that? Does it set in eventually while your pregnant or am I going to have a 30 year old child and still think it's all a dream? 🤣

I'm not ovulating

My husband and I have been trying for 2 yrs. My obgyn did blood work twice and says I bave no underlying conditions. But ik I'm not ovulating and have around 44-75 days in-between cycles. Is there anything I can take to fix that length and help my body start to ovulate? I'm starting to lose some hope.

PCOS

Is anyone else in the same boat, I have PCOS and have been TTC since August. I never seem to get a ‘high’ or even a ‘peak’ on my ovulation tests. My periods are very irregular and light. Just wondering if anyone else is going through the same and has managed to conceive or any other advice? Xx

Trying for number two

Has anyone else started trying or thinking about trying for number two? Ideally I’d love a 2 year age gap, knowing it took so long to conceive the first time, are we stupid to start trying now?

Should I test LH during my period?

I’m fairly new to tracking. I was under the impression that LH was to test for ovulation, if I’m on my period then I won’t be ovulating. So is there a benefit to tracking LH while on my period? Thanks for any advice x

Pregnant?

I peed on the test window. You know the one that shows the lines informing pregnant/ not pregnant. My result read positive and I did read it within the 3 min time frame. Am I pregnant? Note: this is the clear blue ultra early pregnancy test. I tested 4 days early. I am most likely due on the 9th. Helppp please

The mixture of emotions I’ve just had seeing that positive line on the pregnancy test is unreal. Can you relate?

Excited. Amazed. Terrified (going to have two under 2 and an almost 6 year old) Worried (our house isn’t big enough, money is tight) Guilty (my baby is still a baby, is he ready to be a big brother?) Grateful.
