Colief drops

My LG is 21 weeks now and at the start was colic so we used colief drops and they worked really well. We are starting weening in another 3 or 4 weeks and I've read that colief should be stopped around 4 months . Has anyone weened their LO off colief? Any advice?

We just went cold Turkey and no side effects luckily

The colief leaflet states that you should half the dose, then eventually give it every other feed, then once a day, then none at all ☺️ we are starting this now

Ok. I'll try just one drop for a few days and then try every other. The anxiety is unreal as she used to scream so much!!! 😪

Yeah just dropped to 2 drops a bottle, then 1 drop a bottle, then 1 drop in one bottle a day, then stopped x

We’ve gradually started to reduce and now have dropped to 2 drops per bottle. She’s definitely been more uncomfortable with wind 🤦🏼‍♀️

We have gone very slowly as when we tried cold Turkey a month ago he was so uncomfortable again. We use 2 a bottle so we dropped every other bottle to 1 drop, then we will drop further but giving plenty of time between changes

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

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??

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.
