TTC after TFMR

We had a termination at 14 weeks for medical reasons 2 weeks ago. It took us a long time to get pregnant with the baby we lost and I’m not feeling very optimistic about having the family we long for any time soon. I have heard you are more fertile after giving birth and I’d love to hear other people’s experiences of TTC after birth, especially if you previously had trouble conceiving.

I lost my baby boy in December and I’m still Ttc (24 weeks TMFR due to HLHS) it may be different for you tho I hope you are okay I’m so sorry for your loss

We lost our daughter in July 2024 (TFMR due to HLHS) she was 22+2 weeks. We didn't want to try again until we knew it wasn't genetic, but in the meantime, I started taking Wild Nutrition Fertility support in preparation. We then found out she was just 'unlucky' and started trying again. We were very lucky and im aware this doesn't happen to most, but we fell pregnant first month of trying (4 months later), and our little rainbow boy has just graced us with his presence! You've got this girl 💪🏻 its so hard to be optimistic when you've been through the worst pain ever, but I really hope you get the family you wish for 🤞🏻as i certainly had no hope back then and know exactly how you are feeling!!

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?

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.

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

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

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?

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
