3rd baby thoughts

So we’ve been chatting about a 3rd child for a while even though our 2nd one is a terribly difficult baby 🥲 We have 2 boys.. I’m tired.. whenever it gets hard, I can’t help but think “oh how easy it would be to only have our oldest child now..” But somewhere in my heart, I grieve the daughter I never had. It makes me want to have a 3rd baby in hopes it would be a girl.. anyone in a similar position? What are your thoughts? P.s. we struggled to conceive and it took a few years to get pregnant both times

It’s a difficult one if you feel like you hypothetically want another baby. I have two boys and currently I couldn’t think of anything worse than having another baby so it makes my decision easy 😂

We struggled with infertility and loss but very fortunate to have one of each. We always said two regardless of gender...

We're both on the fence on being done.. my health and finances dependent.
Tbh if solely to have a girl I'd not

From what I read, the cons outweigh any pros of adding a third baby at the moment. I thankfully snapped out of wanting a third eventually- especially if you’re ALREADY struggling with 2.

Ovulation induction

Hi all I’m starting to look into ovulation induction and wondered if anyone could share their experiences - good and bad! I’m Oxford based so looking at plan your baby and LCRH beaconsfield online.
I do ovulate but my cycles range from 35-60+ days. Currently having a very long cycle and getting tired of it all. Been TTC no2 for 16 months x

9dpo AM and got a negative test

Is there still a chance to get a positive? Not many symptoms just frequent urination, and maybe some cramps every now and then

Welp here we go again!

8m pp today and just found out we’re expecting again! I’m a bit nervous, mostly excited. Anyone have 2 under two? Advice that isn’t negative would be great!

Getting deflated here… 8 dpo and negative test (white as bleach), when did you get your first positive?

Is it normal to get a line this dark on ovulation test near end of cycle?

I’m day 24 of my cycle. First month of not being careful. I’m around 9-10 DPO with negative pregnancy tests. However I have had spotting the last few days and mild cramping (not usual for this time in my cycle).

Got a peak ovulation test then it went lighter to indicate I ovulated around 10 days ago however today the line has become stronger again.
