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

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...

I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited to start my period 🤪😅 We are OFFICIALLY ttc baby #2.

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.
