I’m in the two week wait in the first cycle since trying for our second child for a second time. We originally started trying exactly a year ago. Got pregnant immediately, but resulted in a chemical. The next 8 cycles was nothing. So I worked on my health and we resumed again this month. I’ve lost some weight and hoping that helps. My cycles are extremely regular, I track my BBT and I even used PDG tests this cycle and all the signs show I ovulated on the day I was positive I did. When we tried for our first child it happened immediately. I am just so afraid of seeing a negative test again and I’m trying so hard not to feel discouraged. I know chances are only like 23% for healthy couples under 35, but ugh I’m just spiraling. I really wanted to not feel this way this go around. I told myself I’d be more relaxed and just trust the process, but apparently idk how to do that at all. I’m 6 DPO and the two pregnancies I’ve had didn’t show a positive until 13dpo. I just don’t even know how to not make myself go insane.

I was diagnosed with Result: A1298C about ten years ago, but I guess my previous doctor read it wrong and told me I was negative. I was negative for the other one, not the one I have.

I had gotten pregnant three years ago and only took a typical prenatal. Now that I’m aware I have this, what prenatals were you taking? I’m so confused on all the different types.

Took a break after trying for 9 months to work on some lifestyle changes. I conceived first try with my first. When we tried again first time I had a chemical. Then the next 8 cycles after that, nothing. I have some really good signs now that I’m more fertile like I’m having the highest lh I’ve ever had and way more cervical mucus than I’ve ever had as well. I’m trying soooooo hard to remain positive that it can actually happen, but still so afraid to be let down. I also still know that it’s only like a 23% chance to conceive each cycle so reminding myself we can keep trying again if it doesn’t happen this time.

Do they just scan our tickets on the phone or do we need ID as well? How was that line?

I have never attended anything I needed an access code to and I saw some on Facebook. Used it and purchased two tickets. Now someone is saying that if I did that and the access code doesn’t match the persons name, they’ll be cancelled?
What should I do?

I am the youngest of three girls. Oldest is ten years older than me and another is 3 years older than me. They all had children before I did and I was always the “cool aunt” I was always able to give them date nights whenever and even was a full time babysitter while they worked. My mom was also able to watch their children whenever, but now she is handicapped and limited. Dad is out the picture. I have a very very loving and supportive partner who is an amazing father. I would say my sisters partners are far from, especially the one that is 3 years older than me.

Fast forward to when I got pregnant. I never expected them to give me what I was able to give them because I was single and had no children. But when I got pregnant the oldest sibling told me “I hope you don’t expect me to watch yours like you did mine because I paid you”
Felt like a slap in the face. She doesn’t respect my boundaries. She knows I left religion and strictly do not teach my child about god/catholicism and I found out the one single time she ever watched him so I could go to my best friends wedding, she was about to bring him to church. A Catholic Church. Where she knows I have so much hurt from and knows I don’t want my literal child to see a man bleeding nailed to a cross. But because it’s how she raises her children, she thinks it’s the right and only way and refuses to think otherwise and will force her beliefs on anyone. Hate it.

The other sister never respects my boundaries either. For instance, I dropped my 2 year old off for a very short appointment I had and told her I’m bringing back lunch for him and to please not give him chips and junk food I like him to eat a proper meal. I came back 45 minutes later and he wasn’t hungry because he ate an entire bag of Doritos and Oreos for lunch instead. Just shit like that. She also loves to text me the entire time if I’m off trying to have a date night asking how long I’ll be and how tired she is. I never ever did that to her. I wanted her to enjoy her time to herself. I even watched her infant for two days overnight so she could go to a concert out of state. I still haven’t slept away from child except for when his father was in a car accident and was in the ICU. I don’t really count that for obvious reasons.

My oldest sister always drops whatever she’s doing to drop off food to my sister or offer help 24/7 but she’s genuinely never offered help or dropped me off food? I’m not even saying I want or expect this but I truly don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this when I poured my heart and soul into my nephews.

My mom has finally been better enough to watch my son when I ask and my kiddo loves his grandma. They do lots of crafts together and he loves it.
My oldest sister is notorious for asking months and months in advanced for her to watch her kids for days on end. She always ALWAYS complies.

Today I ask her to watch my kid all the way in October for a night out with my partner and she’s telling me she doesn’t know what she would be doing that night and if she has to she can. Meanwhile she just said how my nephew is staying over for an entire week and she’s literally postponing a surgery she’s been waiting years for for this to happen. I just don’t get it. My feelings are hurt. I obviously just don’t understand why I ask anymore. My child is so easy to care for. He listens so well, he eats well, he’s so silly, all he wants is your attention that’s it.

All I have is my MIL who watches him once a week so I can work very part time as a barista so I can get away. She’s having her own health struggles and I feel bad asking her to watch him more than I need her to.

I have zero mom friends. I have zero friends who would even watch my kid. I just want a singular weekend away where I can drop my son off with someone I trust and that just isn’t going to happen at this point and it’s so disappointing that I can’t rely on my family.

Second update: out of three, 2 went through one cancelled. Now hopefully they refund me for the extra one

Update an hour later: one went through and I was able to send via text that I purchased with a debit card via Apple Pay. One has been unsuccessful when I paid with PayPal. One more is still processing and I hope it just cancels.

The first one said order number unavailable and according to google it means it didn’t go through. I used Apple Pay and it also didn’t come out my bank account. So I did another one but this time via PayPal. It came out my PayPal but now still says number unavailable and is processing. I’ve never had issues before. I’m usually able to send immediately. I know it’s Mother’s Day but now customer service isn’t answering and I don’t want to end up with two charges. Plus I’d just like to send my mom her gift 🫠

I know the benefits outweigh my worries tremendously, but I still feel consumed by them.

My first pregnancy wasn’t the easiest. Rough rough morning sickness for the entire first trimester and partly into second. By the time I was in third trimester my ankles and knees killed me and I could barely stand. My son came 7 weeks early. Perfectly healthy though. I’m overweight and afraid this caused it. I am now 40lbs lighter than I was the fist go around but still obese.

I’m so scared of being sick and pregnant but now with a toddler on top of it. I am scared to ruin our routine that we all thrive on heavily. I’m afraid my son will think we love him less because currently he’s the center of our world and he definitely knows it. We’ve asked him about a sibling and he gets very upset and says “only one baby” I know he’s only 2 and doesn’t quite understand but still makes me sad. I’m also just scared of the newborn phase with a toddler as well. My son turns 3 in July so he will be slightly older and we are working on potty training to help.

I ovulate next week and just getting nervous about all the what ifs before we try.

I’ve been off for about 3 weeks now. I’ve been managing the food noises and haven’t gained a lb. I’ve increased my workout routine, but haven’t lost anything since I stopped the ozempic.

Does anyone have any success stories on continuing weight loss on their own after the ozempic?
I was losing rapidly, but the side effects weren’t worth it for me.

I get tattooed once every about two years and prices change with the times. Not upset about it, but just always like to be prepared as I’m not super well off.

I’m always nervous asking these questions and don’t know if it’s appropriate or not.

Thanks!

This post has some kinda tmi womanly issues/ talk about hormones. Just a warning!

I struggled trying to conceive for nine months, with two chemicals as well. Took a break and now my upcoming cycle next week we are resuming. I’ve lost about 30lbs and can feel a huge change in my hormones and there’s been positive signs that I’m fertile that I’ve never had before.

We are also hoping and dreaming and manifesting a healthy baby girl. We have no girls on either side of the family. 5 grandsons on mine and 6 grandsons on my husbands side.

Well yesterday while we were driving we saw a little fairy circle in the middle of a field. Just a cute perfect little circle of flowers. Then we went to spend the day at the park and we happened upon a gender reveal. I said oh she’s having a girl, and sure enough, it was a girl.

Today we were in line for coffee and the license plate in front of us said “freya” which is the goddess of fertility. I said “freya, if you send me a daughter, I’ll name her after you and nickname her fae like a fairy”

Soon after we were dropping something off to someone (we do spark deliveries for extra money while we are trying to buy a house) and the gps brought us to Fae Rd.

I love all these little signs and I’m so thankful and feel so much hope.

I already know some of yall are gonna think I’m crazy, but I just have to share.

I struggled trying to conceive for nine months, with two chemicals as well. Took a break and now my upcoming cycle next week we are resuming. I’ve lost about 30lbs and can feel a huge change in my hormones. I no longer have any PMDD symptoms. The only symptom I get before my period is cramping the day before. No more rage or sadness. I also had basically no cervical mucus and now I have it for many days leading up to ovulation and I have a sex drive again. I feel like these are some positive signs that I’ll be able to finally conceive my second child.
