Having a second baby or not?

My baby is 7 months old nearly 8 months and the conversation about having more babies has come up with my partner. I would love another baby in a year or so, but my partner said he’s 90% sure he only wants one baby, I am shocked as I thought he wanted more than one. I am sad about this, I wonder if it’s worth putting a pin in this conversation and coming back to it. I am one of 2, and my partner is one of 3.

I think at 8 months old it's a lot to even think about having another when you're in the thick of it. Most men either want more or adamantly don't.
If they don't a lot find it easier to wait until children are older before having more

I'd maybe see how things are in that years time
I never wanted 2 under 2 etc
I have 4 years between mine and it's great

I would say definitely give it a year or so and talk about it with him again... xx

Thoughts please!!!!

I took a test today because I was going to star the opill today. When I first looked, I THOUGHT I saw something but couldn’t tell, it also hadn’t been full waiting time either. I took a pic and inverted it and still couldn’t tell. When my timer went off I looked again and I saw this. Help. I’ve never used these ones and I have a 4 month old and a 22 month old 😅 (I’ll post the pics I took from when I thought I saw something and that inverted pic in the comments) pic with the post is what the test looked like at the timer (yes there’s a little hair on it I dropped the damn test shocked and scared af 😅 the line is also pink in person just faint)

Early positive or evap?

I’m 14dpo, but 12dpo was very negative. It’s a pinky faint line in person.

NHS IVF - how fast did you start?

We've been told we're top of the list, to expect to wait about 10 weeks.
We've not had a planning appointment yet, and are doing another sperm sample next week.
How soon could I expect to start treatment?

Implant

Hey! Me and my partner are talking about trying for our second baby. I currently have the implant in my arm, has anyone ever had the implant removed to try and how long did it take to conceive? I know everyone’s different but just looking for people’s experiences to try work out when to get it removed. Tia🙂

Is this possible?

I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant. My period hasn’t come, I got a positive test. My last two tests after have been negative but I haven’t had any bleeding. Idk if it’s bc of how much I’ve been drinking though as of the heatwave I’ve been drinking so much

The Implant

Hey guys

I’m planning to get the implant on Tuesday and I was wondering if there’s anything I should know about the procedure, side effects, potential consequences or other relevant things about it.

For reference I have a 5 month old, haven’t not been intimate with my husband since before she was born and am hoping to take a long haul flight in the next month.

I’d really appreciate anything you can give me
