Two days late? Hoping that my period is just late and that I’m not pregnant again!

After I gave birth to my son, my periods did take a couple of months to adjust but then they became fairly regular. I’d say I have a 26-27 day cycle. A multitude of things could be going on, delayed ovulation, maybe stress, etc. I’m getting a pregnancy test to rule things out though. I’m hoping it’ll come later on today and that I’m overreacting. I’m praying that my period is late and it’s nothing else 😭anyone else gone through the same thing?

Is this normal?

This is just a £3.99 cheap early detection test i took this morning at 11dpo. Is it positive? And is it normal for it to be this light? I also had a faint last night. Tia

Only child guilt - looking for advice

I’m really torn about whether to have another child or stay a family of three (my son is 3 years old, nearly 4).

We currently have one child and are comfortable financially, and our home/lifestyle works well as it is. I’ve always leaned towards one child, especially after a difficult birth experience, and I’m only just feeling like myself again.

But lately I’ve been feeling a lot of guilt and doubt, mainly from seeing content about siblings. I worry my son might miss out on having a sibling, even though he has friends and social opportunities.

At the same time, I know having another baby would mean big changes — less time for my son, tighter finances, career impact, and less flexibility.

I can imagine both lives, which is why I feel stuck. Has anyone else been in this position deciding whether to stop at one? How did you decide, and did you regret it either way?

IVF referral - waiting time

Hope somebody can help me.
I had all basic test done with GP and finally got the referral with 1 listed hospital near me.

When I wanted to book the appointment the website said no availability and there are 3 options.
- check again later
- choose other clinic (was only listed 1, so no option to change)
- request contact

I did request but the message said if they dont contact until aug 10 call them.

Is this normal to wait this long for only 1 appointment in the IVF process?
My age is an issue, so I cannot wait that long, also it said the average time is 19weeks...

What other options do i have?
Please help.
