One & done due to cost. anyone else? Emotional?

My husband and I both want a second child but despite my husband working full time and me working part-time and not doing daycare to avoid costs we don't have the financial abilities to afford another child.

Any other parents struggling mentally with mourning the ability of having more kids all due to costs? Is that anyone else's fence reason

I feel ridiculous for feeling sad and for not being better off with money

Sorry to hear this. How old are you? It’s crazy how restricting life can be these days.

I am in the exact same situation. My baby is 5 months. The more she grows and I’m enjoying her, it’s easier for me to accept. I’m just happy I have her. That has been my experience accepting it. But that doesn’t mean that’s how you have to feel, if you are feeling differently.

I hope you are surrounded by people who are good for your spirit cause that's important right now.

Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Pregnancy test

I took this pregnancy test and then a few days later I looked at it again and noticed a very faint line but then I took 3 more on different days and they all came out negative. What’s going on? I’m tripping out because I see it but my husband says he doesn’t.

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been
