Feel like I’m being silly

We’re 4 months deep trying for baby number 2 and no luck yet. I’m a December baby (birthday is Christmas Eve) and always hated my birthday, and always said I wanted to have summer babies (I know sounds really stupid) and now we’re falling into the “danger zone” of if we conceive this month would give us a December/ early Jan due date, and just not really sure what to do.

My partner is desperate for a second and if I’m honest so am I, so don’t really want to stop trying for three months, especially as we’ve had no luck so far, but then if we do get pregnant I fear feeling like we should have waited on the other side.

Is this really silly to stress about?

I don’t think that’s silly. In fact, a friend of mine had been trying for years for baby no 2, and always still avoided this month as she didn’t want a Xmas baby, and she was desperate to get pregnant. All depends on what matters more to you!

I’ve been ttc baby number 2 for 4 cycles. We’re avoiding this next cycle to avoid a dec baby. I’m annoyed to miss it but a December baby would be awkward. I won’t miss anymore cycles though. A winter baby doesn’t bother me, just want to avoid Christmas!

High HCG levels

Tested positive on Saturday morning & did another test today and it’s SO DARK on my 4pm wee….
Could this be that I’m further along that I think or a multiple pregnancy??

Anyone else struggling? I didn’t with my first, but this time around is so different…

Good positive?

Hi ladies. Do you think this is a strong enough positive for 5 weeks and 6 days? I’m an anxious wreck

Possible chemical?

Got my first positive test on Mother’s Day after a miscarriage a year ago and was over the moon. My test was lighter today and now I’m spiralling, praying it’s not a chemical. I’ve had the occasional aching in my uterus since the day I found out and today I have slightly sore nipples. No sign of any spotting yet. Can anyone offer any insight or experience?
