Pregnant again 9 weeks postpartum!?!?

[Rose3419]

So my DH and I got carried away a few weeks ago. The morning after I checked my Clue and realised that I was likely ovulating the day before.

The last week or so I have been having random nausea like I’m a going to throw up that second but it disappears quickly. I have super tender and achey boobs and yesterday just was exhausted, more that usual with an 9 week old! I’ve done a few tests and can see very faint lines but not sure if they are just me seeing things that aren’t there. What do you think?

If it turns out that I am pregnant I will have 3 under 2.5! I know, I know - there’s always a chance of getting pregnant any time you have sex. I’m just so anxious that i am. I’m hoping all these symptoms are in my head because I really don’t know how wed cope with another baby. My DH finds the newborn stage very very stressful and our differing parenting styles cause conflict quite often. I’m worried our marriage would end up beyond any come back to repair.

Has anyone had children so close together. I through DS1 and DS2 were close in age at 20 months!

I can see a very very faint line but doesn’t seem to have colour so may be an evap line. I would test again in a few days.

@Checkingout811 Af should be here in a couple of days.

Thank you all!

It sounds very stressful this much worry when you have used contraception. I hope you are okay and get the result you want.

@Regularsizedrudy thank you. Just a weird feeling I have and symptoms make you overthink I think.

Okay, I think that I really am seeing things now. I’m sure that’s a line?!? Just taken...

Nope, really not seeing anything.

I feel like there’s a tiny tiny line there. But do you want to be pregnant OP? You’ve taken lots of precautions against not becoming pregnant but seem really desperate to be.
It may just be how I am interpreting your posts but that’s how it’s coming across to me.
I would wait until Friday now and test again then. It’s pointless POAS every couple of hours checking for shadows.

All tests look negative to me but if your period doesn’t come when you expect it to then take another test first thing in the morning.

Surely it’s a possibility that you just have a tiny amount of leftover HGC in your system from your recent birth?

I actually do see a very faint line in that most recent test.

Are you breastfeeding? If so a condom, the morning after pill etc. it would be very unlikely.

Maybe buy a digital to put your mind at rest.

Op it sounds like you actually want to be pregnant?

People have told you how unlikely it is yet you keep harping on...

All test look negative. Stop wasting more tests. At least wait another 3-4 days. At 9 weeks pp you can't truly be sure when you're ovulating as things are still settling down. With condoms and map it's highly unlikely you are pregnant.

I cant see a line.

With condoms/MAP and no line, i think its highly unlikely to be a positive

I can see feint lines. A friend has just had her second baby two weeks before her sons first birthday. It sounds tough going to be honest.

@Rose3419
To me those all look negative.
But you seem very anxious about it and I wonder if it would help you to mentally work out what is your worst case scenario and how you would deal with it? It might help you feel more in control and more able to deal with anything. Or help you decide what you need to do.
But given the precautions you've taken, I would think it is unlikely you are pregnant. Could your symptoms just be the sign of a period coming?

There is no line there. HT.

How are people seeing these lines? These are negative tests

Personally, I see a line OP. Sorry you've had some pretty negative feedback on here... welcome to mumsnet 😅
I have a 14 month old and I'm 20 weeks pregnant currently, I'll be honest I'm kacking it but there are definitely a lot of positives to having your children so close in age. School runs will be easier for a start! I'd rather get pregnancy out of my system over a shorter period of time than having large gaps between children. Financially are you in a good place to have another one? That's always a major aspect to consider. I'm looking forward to them growing up with similar interests and being best buddies, being close in ages helps in that regard!
Do you think you can physically deal with another pregnancy? I'm finding it somewhat hard this time running around after a 14 month old, I also had hurrendous sickness at the beginning, thankfully my DH was still on furlough so could take over DD when I needed to rest. I'm feeling a lot more energetic now though I must say! Good luck lovely! X

@sillysmiles thank you for your comment. I am very anxious about it, probably why I’m “harping” on. Of course, I don’t want to be pregnant I literally just had a baby and am still adjusting to 2 Dc. I think that it may come across as though I want to be just because I want to know either way and it is highly improbable but just can’t get it off my mind. We all know how long waiting for af can feel whether you TTC or not.

To be honest other than just babbling on I’m not sure why I posted. Trying to get thoughts out my head, not really a chat I can have with DC.

I’m sure it is just my period coming. X

I can see a line on the FRER....

i can see a line

get a digital.

but fuck me OP you are fertile if so! condom and MAp?!

All look negative. Think you're worrying over nothing.
Maybe test again in a week and if you get a clear positive, then you can worry.

I think the negativity is due to the practically zero chance of falling pregnant after using the prevention that you have.
You see a lot of women posting clear negatives then the looney tunes that go "oh yeah, that's a clear positive". Just think "should have gone to specsavers"

@MyGrassIsBrowner thank you! Always reading for advice but never have actually started a thread. Not sure I will again now 🙈

As much as my DS2 was very much wanted I was dreading it but now he’s here I wouldn’t change the age gap. The thought of two under 1 is terrifying though, to be honest it’s more the strain on our relationship I’d be worried about.

Thank you very much! Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly! Xx

How are posters seeing lines? Either my phone screen is rubbish or I need glasses, I can't see anything

I agree with most though, you are v v unlikely to be pregnant based on what you say regardless of lines or otherwise on the tests

@Rose3419 I totally understand your worries relationship wise. My DH has been spectacular with DD and I've had some massive wobbles pre/during and post pregnancy and to be honest it's the main reason we agreed to have another, somehow me being pregnant actually brought us closer together and we still put ourselves and relationship first where we can around DD. I'd test again in a few days if I were you and then if it is positive, you and your DP need to sit down and have a good chat. I think if there's chance it's going to cause issues in your relationship is it really worth it right now? But I guess this conversation is only something you and he can discuss between yourselves.
I'll give you your due if you are pregnant you are ridiculously fertile haha!!! I was shocked at how fast I fell pregnant again, it's still sinking in tbh 😆
Good luck with everything chick! X
