Anyone TTC number 2 in your mid-30s and fancy company?

Anyone else TTC number 2 in their mid-30s and fancy some company? 😊

I’m 35, have a DD who is just about to turn 4, and we’ve just started our first cycle trying for number 2.

I feel like we’d just reached the glorious stage of proper sleep, no nappies, actual conversations and being able to leave the house without half of the house crammed into a changing bag… so naturally I decided what our lives really need is a newborn 😂

I went very Type A when TTC my DD and turned the whole thing into a project - LH strips, BBT, supplements, special lube, the works 🙈 This time I’m trying very hard to be more relaxed and go with the flow. Trying being the operative word 😂

Would love some company from anyone in a similar boat: TTC number 2, mid-30s, slightly excited, slightly questioning their own sanity and trying not to symptom spot at 2DPO 😂

PS. Currently on cycle 1 and my fertile window is just about closing, so now entering the very calm and rational part where I definitely won’t analyse every bodily sensation for the next two weeks 😂🙈

@CasualOverthinker- I am overthinking much less casually right now!!! Because I had to edit the photo to see it, I'm convinced I am gaslighting myself. BUT. I have had many negatives before and never once saw a line that wasn't there. And I can see this one IRL. So here we go...

I can see it!

@dreamywalker- do we think I may have edited it into existence?!

@Orchid887… I mean, I don’t think so, I’m assuming you only adjusted the contrast?!?

it’s exactly where I’d expect a line to be.

@dreamywalker- Yep, just a contrast adjustment!

See people say to not test early to avoid this drama but I live for this. I have hope now!

Can definitely see the line! Really hope this is it for you 😊
