Baby dancing on the wrong day!?

So I’ve been TTC for three months this now. I’m new to this, my other pregnancies were like BOOM pregnant. So I am new to ovulation tracking but this whole time I’ve been making sure to baby dance when LH is the highest but I recently learned that you ovulate 24 hours after that. So now I feel like I might have been in my own way this whole time because I didn’t know that information. 😭 I know sperm can live a while in there but I’m sad that I’ve been forcing them to this whole time when I could have baby danced on my day off ovulation and probably give myself much better odds, right? Ughhh. Here goes another two week wait for me and probably another negative test.

Ok I just did some googling and it says it’s only 2% better odds… 🤔 but still, I would have taken that 2%!!

Ideally you want to baby dance a few times ~ days leading up to ovulation and day of ovulation. It’s never a guarantee, but it does increase chances of pregnancy if there’s more sperm. Sperm can live up to 5 days inside of you.

If you don’t end up pregnant this month, I’d recommend checking in with your doctor to make sure everything is good (estrogen, progesterone, blood work, uterine health, etc).

You’ve been doing it right lol the best bet is to have sex every 3 days around your fertile window. Sperm can live for up to 5 days but something like 80% of it doesn’t live past 72 hours

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 👀

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.

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.

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.
