anyone test?

I'm thinking I'm going to take a test tomorrow, I'm so nervous. Lo is 21 weeks. I don't know that I'm ready for number 2 though. I've not had a period since I stopped bleeding after delivery. I am on the mini pill as well as bf still. I know both can postpone it, but I'm still a little freaked out. While I want another lo I'm just not sure I'm ready right now. I almost wish I had a period just for reassurance. Anyone else taken tests???

Re: anyone test?

  • I haven't yet.. I went back on BC at my 6 week checkup and everything is hunky dory. But I know lots of mamas on here have tested... some have even freaked out a little pre-test only to find a negative result when they did. So relax, take a deep breath, and just test.

    That said, I totally understand your feelings. I am sooo tempted to just TTC right now because I have such a happy 'potato chip' baby, but if I actually thought I could be preggers again now I would seriously freak the F out! I am still waking at all hours of the night for DS and I feel like my hormones have finally gotten more normal... I want to be normal for a little bit before I get knocked up again, lol.

  • I tested a few days ago.  Negative, then AF a few hours later.

     

    Before my pregnancy I had a super light (reg. tampon), super quick (3 days or less), super easy (no cramps), super regular (30 days exactly) period.  Now, not so much.

    Dr. says it's my body getting used to bc again.

  • I've been debating using the dollar store cheapie I have left. We use condoms but I'm still wondering. Only because back in midApril I had one day of bright red bleeding and that was it and nothing since.

    We haven't decided on number 3 and recovering from my second csection means I shouldn't get pregnant already but I also don't want to live in ignorance if it does happen.
  • Twice, BFN both times.  I'm 22 weeks postpartum, stopped BFing a month ago and still no AF.  I want it to return both for reassurance and to get back into charting (I like knowing what's going on with my body, KWIM?)

     We talked about this in my Intro thread and I mentioned that I really want another one.  I keep thinking that if I am KU I would be so happy.  Then I drank wayyyy too much at a wedding last night and at 4am when I was puking my guts out, I was thinking "NOPE"  lol

  • I have taken 1 test so far and will probably take them periodically until my cycle is back to normal.  I EBF and we use condoms for BC.

  • I'm now 21 weeks pp. Took a test late last night and very definitively negative. Whew, I LOVE LO but I'm not ready to jump in again. I'm enjoying my time w her fight now. We want another one maybe but I'm glad its not right now.
