Good morning everyone,
Thank you so much for allowing me to sit here silently and take comfort and information from all your journeys.
Been trying for baby number 2 for 4 months and still breastfeeding baby number 1. I have been obsessively taking pregnancy test from about 7dpo every month trying to see lines where there just aren’t any.
Due to being a teacher I really wanted a December baby, but the months kept passing and AF just get coming. I really didn’t want to stop breastfeeding but was considering it. Also really desperate to fall this month as me and my husband are both teachers and because of holidays a baby between furthest away from the summer can save us thousands returning to working before the summer holidays whereas any later than a March due date means a smaller than desired maternity leave or being on stat maternity pay over summer when you wouldn’t be in school anyway!
This month I did clear blue smiley ovulation stick and was high for about 10 days, thinking a peak would never come, it came about 2 days before Ovia app predicted.
We dtd like newly weds this months and yesterday 10 dpo I took a frer there was the faintest ‘am I seeing things’ line when shining a torch on the stick but it was the tainted thing i ever saw.
Husband and I decided we would leave it a few days and try again at the weekend.
I am not working today and obviously cracked and took our second test.
THE LINE IS STRONGER! I am sure it’s there rather than seeing things line.
But now I’ve took a test without my husband and I know he would want to be there. Fortunately it Father’s Day on Sunday so I am planning on taking another test on Saturday and finding a way to give it to him on fathers day.
Anyone have any ideas how to break the news.
Thank you and best wishes to you all xxx
