8/9 DPO.. could it be?

Unsure on ovulation date, either late on the 20th or early 21st. 2 years trying to conceive baby no 2, and had an early MC in April. Really wasn’t expecting anything this month.

However I can see the start of a line, can others see it? (Photo quality isn’t the best)

Testing

I am 7 weeks 5 days & randomly decided to do a test today. I saw baby & heartbeat at 6 weeks and stopped testing then. The test I did was a dip stick one. The test line was really light!? I am of course now in a panic. Should never have done the test, but anyone else done this before and everything turned out to be fine?x

2 under 3..

Is it really hard? I need words of encouragement, me and my husband have decided to start trying in October, our daughter will be 18 months which means we could potentially have just over a year age gap. (It may of course take longer to conceive)

Positive stories please? Incognito as I don’t want friends and family to see and know we’re going to start trying

Advice

I ovulated on the 14 of July. I had a faint positive pregnancy test on the 25th. Now pregnancy tests are negative and I had small bleed when I went to the toilet but nothing since. I’m due on today and Always a day early and when I start my period it’s heavy and doesn’t stop and start

Im curious

So I just watched a video of kids being reunited with their dad after several months apart due to being in the army. 😭 it's so heartbreaking.

And I have a genuine curiosity....

I've never understood why any one would want to join the army voluntarily.

I also don't understand how they can stay when they have kids.

Also the wives, how do they manage all the emotions and emptyness that comes with it.

I honestly think if a partner ever wanted to join the army I would have to leave him. I would never want to go through that or put my kids through that.

I had 2 school friends who joined. 1 left because he didn't like it. The other seems to be in a mentally dark space now.

But guestion:

Why do you think so many join the army????

Trying for Baby No 2

We have an 18m old with our last 2 frozen embryos in storage and think we have decided to try again.

We were a long time TTC and our first baby was via our 3rd transfer so I was trying lots of different things, acupuncture, no caffeine/alcohol/perfume, eco friendly brands, drinking bone broth etc!

Our doctor has suggested the same meds which is natural cycle plus progesterone, but with a toddler on the run I don’t know if I’ve got the headspace or energy to do all the “extra stuff” and if any of that helped anyway?

I feel more relaxed this time but also want to give it the best shot so feel like I need to prepare.

Anyone else been in a similar position?
