Baby Number 2

Mama’s who have had a baby, how did you know it was the right time to have another? My son is 25 months old now and I’d love another baby but on the other hand, I get so so stressed out and don’t know how I’d manage with 2!? But I also don’t want a massive age gap😫

Hi all! My LO is one year old and we are TTC again. I have ovulation strips from last time and digital ovulation sticks from last time - does anyone know if these expire? Also, has anyone else been lucky the second time around? Took us 3 months last time to get pregnant in Oct 2022.

Can’t hold it.

I am 11 months pp and I don’t know if I’m the only one. Plus sorry if this is tmi. But after being healed I feel like when I have to go pew that I can’t hold it like I used to. If I have the urgency I better hurry cause a couple times where I didn’t make it and peed myself some and it’s embarrassing.anybody else?

Anybody else TTC with super long cycles?

I just peaked on CD 25. My last cycle was 39 days long. There's so much waiting and I feel like it takes so long to get to my fertile window. Anybody else in the same boat?

Am I crazy?

I'm 7 or 8 DPO so I know it's still early- just couldn't help myself. I feel like I can MAYBE see something but maybe I'm imagining it! Of course I'll keep testing. I'm 3 or 4 days away from when AF is expected! Help!
