Could I test positive today? Do I need to wait another week (when my next cycle is supposed to start)?

I have very irregular periods but can’t sleep, itching to take a pregnancy test for baby #2. Yellow marks my “fertile window” and the hearts are all for unprotected sex. My cycle is different every month so my fertile window may have actually been sooner or later.

You owe your kids. Idc what anyone says, you do. You owe them a solid foundation. You owe them unconditional love. You owe them your time. You owe them experiences. You owe them your loyalty. You owe them a lot. They didn’t ask to be here. Stop giving your kids the bare minimum.
