Maybe Baby #2?

[lize566]

So I've been MIA for a while, but keep up with everyone on FB if I can but I need some support away from FB.

I think I'm pregnant again. And I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. I've been wanting another baby, but was planning on waiting until dec. to start trying. Stephen wasn't even on board with trying then, but he acutally seems pretty excited about me being pregnant which is a huge relief.

Here is why I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant-first of all I took a test and it was an incredibly faint 2nd line, but dark enough to see. BUT what's weird is that I have NO idea when I would have gotten pregnant. I took my last BC pill on Aug 14 (I think), started my period on Aug 19. Had another period on Sept 9. haven't had one since. Fall is an incredibly busy time for us, so we've only DTD like once, and I'm fairly positive it was right after one of my 2 periods b/c we didn't use protection b/c I had just had my period so I shouldn't have been ovulating. I haven't felt symptoms, besides some cramping and some backaches, but nothing out of the ordinary for just a period.

Anyway, anybody have any thoughts on this? I think what is making me the most anxious is not knowing when I would be due. Plus, I was really not wanting to have another one the same time I had Zach, which would be the case if I am pregnant, depending on when I got pregnant. Then I have a whole other slew of emotions if I am for sure pregnant-like where are we going to put a second baby, I feel like I will miss something with Zach, even though I know I won't, etc. It's just a big adjustment I wasn't quite prepared for!

Aww good luck. I hope everything turns out the way you want it to. :heart:

I'd say to go get some blood work done so you know for sure. Maybe even the stress of just thinking you are pregnant is keeping your period away?

If you aren't, then you can wait until December or whenever it is that you're ready to start trying again. And maybe figure out the answers to your questions you have now, like if you have enough room for another baby, etc.

If you are, then I would look at it as a blessing. I'm sure you're a wonderful mom and having two babies to love doesn't mean you'll miss out on anything with Zach. It just means you'll have another person to share those moments with as well!

Either way, :hug:. We're here for you.

I think I'd take another test or have blood work.

I hope things turn out how you want.

:hug: Everything will work out!

Could it be possible you got pregnant while on BC and one of your AFs was a fluke? You never know.

I'd say take another test in a couple of days and get bloodwork done so you know for sure. If you are pregnant, congrats and everything will work out because everything happens for a reason. If you're not, you still have time to plan and hopefully DH will hold onto his excitement for a few more months so you can start TTC in December like you want. :heart:

I agree about the blood test. Good luck and I hope things turn out alright for you guys! :flower:

Try taking one of those digital PG tests, I hear those are also a little easier b/c it says PG or NOT PG right on it so there's no guessing if you see a faint line. I know you already know it's possible to get PG while on BC but meh it's rare. And if you're anything like me, I get the PG scares when I start thinking about it and focusing on only that... when I was in high school I didn't get my period for 9 whole months (I had never even had sex) but I had this crazy feeling that I was the next virgin mary and that I was going to pop out a LO at any moment. Don't worry about it. Here's a question for you. If you are pregnant... what would you do about it? It is what it is, if you are pregnant there is no going back now (unless you would think of that other alternative which it's your decision I won't put my personal views of that on here) but really what can you do, if you are you are and it's already done. Try not to focus on it and just go with the flow. Everything works out the way it's supposed to anyways. You will be ok, and we will be here for you despite the ultimate outcome. We miss you a ton on the boards!!!!

CONGRATS!!!! I'm looking forward to hearing your due date and all that jazz :heart:

[Spatch4Officers]

oh snap you posted the good news just after i posted - CONGRATS!!!!!!!! such great news!

[savepaws]

Congrats!! Actually, not knowing when you conceived could be a good thing. It could mean an early ultrasound!! I know its got to be a big adjustment and lots of new things to worry about, but you and your hubby will make it work out. And if you were planning on trying in a couple of months anyway...whats a few months early? Apparently, this is God's plan and all you can really do is just go with it!! :)

[lize566]
