Trying for another

So very weird but I’m 2 weeks PP and I want another, I want 2 close in age. I have had sex twice since having my baby and was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and is trying? If I take a test will it come back positive because of HCG from last pregnancy? I don’t want a false positive and don’t want to get my hopes up for it to not be positive.

I am not trying to pass judgment but this is not safe. Your body just went through a lot between carrying your baby and delivering. Give it a break. Give yourself a break. Focus on your bundle of joy and let your body heal. My sister and I are a year and five months apart and it’s not day goes by where we don’t call each other and the same instance goes with my 8 year old sister whilst me being 23! When the time is right it will happen but for now just focus on what’s in front of you

this is my thoughts exactly, I’m glad someone else said it. Having pregnancies this close together dramatically increases the risk of complications for the next pregnancy and birth, allowing your body time to heal and adjust after a pregnancy and birth is pivotal for successful recovery. It’s generally recommended to wait around a year in between delivering and getting pregnant again.

Make sure you have a discussion about this with your primary care provider and take care of yourself, give your body and mental state some time to unwind. Savor and enjoy these precious moments with your new baby!

Hot DAMN girl give your coochie a minute to breathe LOL

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?

Ovulation test

I know this group is for pregnancy test but just want to double check this ovulation test is positive. I haven’t had a positive ovulation test in months and months I think Im gonna cry. When is best to have sex after a positive ovulation test and how likely is it to get pregnant?
