Cycles Irregular

My daughter is now 16 months old. For a while my cycle was 29 days long consistently once it started again. I had a miscarriage and then was back on birth control for a few months. I stopped it again in June. From June to July my cycle became longer, but I had a period July 19th. August I didn't have a period. Then September (now) I'm having pink spotting instead of a period. I've been taking prenatals, folate, and other daily vitamins. Had DTD on 9/1, 9/2, 9/12, & 9/13. Unsure if I ovulated, though and if I did idk when. I guess if I really want to make a go of it then I need to start doing my ovulation tests again. Not sure if it's a relevant factor but my prolactin levels are still elevated (still lactating, but haven't breastfed in over a year).

What type of BC were you on after your MC? I'm sorry to hear you went through that 🩷 after coming off BC it can take 3 months or so for your cycle to even out and return to normal

@Catherine I was on the mini pill following the MC. Maybe I just haven't regulated yet. I guess I just wasn't expecting to skip one entirely and then spot for another. This stuff catches us off guard and then people wonder why we get so stressed. Then the stress doesn't help us either.

I completely understand, it's hard especially when you start so excited to try for a baby. I had nexplanon removed in May, and I have only just gotten back to regular periods. I completely missed a period in June, but my cycles have gotten shorter and more regular. Now a 29 day cycle and 5 day period. You will regulate again just love yourself and give your body time to recover. Your body went through a trauma, you're allowed to give yourself time

Have you tried tracking your fertile window instead of O? That was what helped me get my positive after 2+ years of trying and I use kegg because it's so easy to track with

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.

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

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??

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?
