Job interview rejection

Ugh. I’m trying to find a new job. I had an interview last week, I thought it went well. There were some red flags like asking me if I had kids during my interview, or if bc I had kids do I have reliable child care or would I call off alot, and it was a bunch of older women and 2 doctors. I didn’t get the job. Proba...

Mixed feelings

Is anyone else wanting another baby even though their first isn’t even a year yet ? I don’t know how to explain the feeling it’s like I do but I don’t, I also don’t wanna wait too long if I am going to conceive again…

Not currently ttc, but sad…. anyone else feel this way?

I feel heart broken knowing every month I have the chance to get pregnant but I’m not💔 Hubby agreed to start trying this spring but I can’t help but feel this sense of sadness and disappointment until then. I’d be ready to start trying now, until then, this is going to be hard

Should we go for number three?

We have two boys, one 2 and the other 12 weeks. We were over the moon when we found out we were having another boy, however there was a small part of us that said it would have been lovely to have a girl however, it didn’t really bother us, just happy to have another healthy baby. After our son was born, we were ...

Second babies

Anyone finding second baby more difficult? I don't know whether it's because I had more time to do things and get out easier with my first. But the second baby seems harder to settle and more demanding! Anyone else?

Is today getting lighter?

I am so terrified that this pregnancy is not going to last. I had my first beta on 9dp5dt thinking the cycle had failed, but my beta came back at 6 (super low). Then on 11dp5dt it came back at 22 (3.6x higher) and my clinic told me to be cautiously optimistic. The last easy at home was this morning, the one above it...

PERIOD STARTED 🎉

I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited to start my period 🤪😅 We are OFFICIALLY ttc baby #2. And I put an emphasis on the officially because I just recently had a surgery that hopefully cured my infertility 🙌🏻 We won’t know until we officially try but it’s so exciting to be this hopeful. It took us 4 years…

PPA

Anyone else struggling? It hit me in waves with my first but with my second it's like every night. One night it got bad and I thought I was having heart problems. I used to never be anxious about anything. My 10 month old took a little tumble at the park, not even a bruise but I'm now in bed all but panicking abou...

Does it look like I will be close to getting my peak soon?

Started TTC baby number 2 this month, and I’m feeling all the feelings. I have irregular cycles lasting 30-40 days on average. I’m on cycle day 20 now so I’m worried maybe I missed it or something.

Are any other ladies feeling called to skip pregnancy tests altogether?

Starting my two week wait:) This is my 3rd cycle ttc, the last 2 I didn't test, just waited for my period to come. I plan on doing that again. If I were to miss my period, I think I'd want to skip the tests still. Something about being in the mystery and getting to tune into my body feels like exactly what I'd need ...
