We started trying right after our son turned 1 lol. He's 16mths now and I'm 3mths pregnant. It's never too soon

It’s not too soon, I think it’s better to have the kids close in age , just my opinion

I’m due Sept 1st… they’ll be little less than 18m apart if he stays till due date !

Not to soon at all x

I’m due in Feb & our babies will be 23 mos apart!

My boy is 16 months & I’m 5 months preggers with a little girl 💕 You do you mama 🫶🏻

I’m right there with ya! I’m trying to wait will my sons a little closer to 2 or 3 but it’s hard to wait

I want another one (my first one is almost 3 and my second is 16 months, they are 19 months apart) but I'm nervous about adding another to the mix 😂

It is recommended to wait when your toddler is 18 months as this is when your body starts to be completely ready for another pregnancy concerning hormones and milk production and mental health. Ofcourse it differs from one woman to another but that what was told me medically.

I don’t think it’s too soon. I feel like you will know when you are ready. Im scheduled for a c section in less than 5 weeks so my kiddos will be 18 months apart. I think it’s doable

I want to try again now! I want to have my last and be done. I think 2-2.5yrs apart is a good gap

Thank you lady's for the positive support ❤️

Period after IUD?

I had a copper iud inserted 5 weeks ago, I still haven’t had a period yet. How long did it take for you to get your period after insertion?

Bridesmaids excitement

Last week I posted about needing bridesmaids and was SOOOOO excited that so many people reached out. All I needed was 3-4 girls…. Reality hit HARD though. 60+ comments, 40+ “connections” and only ONE person has been consistent enough with responses. What happened to all the support ? I am genuinely confused by this 🤣 especially knowing that I was willing to pay for damn near everything if they couldn’t, on top of actually paying them a lump sum. Why comment publicly saying you’ll support, just to ignore me privately ? It’s not like it was short notice either…. The wedding is 14 months away 😂 14 months to create a lasting friendship with a fellow, local mom as well. Wasn’t just going to have you be a bridesmaid and that’s it!? This was to also build a friendship! Shoutout to the one girl who is actually sticking by her comment !! 💕

TTC with PCOS

I newly found out that I have PCOS and have been unable to get pregnant. I’m taking Letrozole, but haven’t started ovulating yet. I’m 22 and desperately want a baby. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

Test

I feel like I see something but idk
I have test five times all came back positive but then it’s this one and the others are light to

Pregnant or no?

Pic taken within the timeframe test allows but line so light and it’s the day my period should come (so shouldn’t mine be darker)?

Advice around ovulation

I have really not been thinking about trying for baby no.2, then all of a sudden had the urge. For context, we got pregnant with no.1 first try by having sex in the fertile zone laid out by my app.

So, I had sex on day 14 of my normally 29day cycle. App said that was a strong day. I had a bit of a panic out our hasty decision the following day (yesterday) and bought some ovulations strips. I tested twice yesterday and once today, and there appears to be no surge. Apps suggest my ovulation should have been today. Can anyone help me guess what might be happening? Might I have missed the surge? Might it be coming later? Have I probably had sex the wrong day for conception if so?
