So for the past year I haven’t been on any contraception, however the past 4 months I’ve been tracking my ovulation and nothings happened as of yet… When I was younger I got told I had pcos, I was never put on anything but assume that’s because of my age back then. I had my daughter in 2022 and I never tracked my ovulation, it just happened and came as a surprise. I don’t know if to book a doctors appointment or if they won’t even see me for it? Any idea on what to do?

Why do you think this is?

A while back, I did a couple polls and the conclusions were that we (broadly) can’t stand our MILs and (generally) struggle with our own mothers visiting as well.

These are the women that are supposed to be giving us the wisdom of the “village”. They’re supposed to be our intimate support system but most of us feel far from supported by them.

Why? 🤔

A) You think people in general are more prone to personality disorders which make mils and moms more narcissistic/toxic generally than maybe they were in the past. They’re less helpful and more stressful as a result.

B) People have less kids recently (historically speaking) so by the time they’re grandparents they’ve forgotten what it’s like, what moms need, etc. Their help is outdated/out of touch and lack perspective bc they have less experience. Even though they may be well-meaning, our villages have less kids so there’s less wealth of knowledge to learn from.

C) It may be a me problem. We as a society are more selfish/particular and feel more entitled to our “ideal” help. Or have more choices of who can be our “village”. So we’re less likely to tolerate unhelpful parents.

Any positive stories or advice about planning a third baby?

We're thinking about having our third baby and I'm excited but also a bit nervous. I'd love to hear any encouraging stories or advice from mums who have been through this!

Second child!

Trying for a second one. I must be nuts! Any advice, minus to bang 24/7 until my next cycle? lol

Anyone have any experience with wondfos?

I have gotten a true positive on them before with March baby and haven’t used them since. I’m 8dpo PM. I took a wondfo earlier today, and it was stark negative. Now they have faint lines, but clear blue is supposed to be the same sensitivity and they don’t have even a shadow which makes me question whether or not they’re real. Do wondfos just suck? Both sets of these were taken 1.5 hours apart. I know I’ll know more tomorrow morning, and I’m not getting my hopes up, but last time I got my faint positive on wondfo, I had a vfl on frer, so I knew it was real. I was 9dpo. Anyone got any insight? Photos in comments.
