I'm nervous to get my hopes up again if the same thing could happen. I'm currently 20 days past DPO, and 3 days late from my regular cycle. Should I wait even more time to test, and if so how long would you guys recommend?

Test now - you already have the hope that you’re pregnant by being late. Not testing won’t prevent the disappointing heartache if your period comes in a few more days. At least that’s the way I’d feel

Tested - pregnant. Crossing my fingers. This will be my first if the pregnancy goes well. Thanks for the virtual support!

Hi Anne. M.E here. We are similar: trying for a third. And our first took a year to conceive and 2 took ONE time in a month. Our second child just turned 3. The first two are only 18 months apart.

I am stupidly so worried about the age gap. At this rate, the 3rd child will be 4-4.5 years behind the others. We've been trying for about 9 months. I know the age gap shouldn't bother me but it does!

Good luck.

Hi ladies. I’m not TTC but I was where you guys are for several years a few years ago. I just wanted to mention the age gap. Ours took almost 3 years of trying for #2 and they are 4.5 years apart as a result and it’s actually been great. Our older one really dotes on the younger and sometimes acts like a little mommy to her, but they also just play together too. There are soooo many things to stress you out when TTC (this thread has given me flashbacks!), but please don’t let the age gap be one of them. Kids don’t know what they don’t know - whatever the age gap is will be their normal. Just foster the love between them and get the older ones involved with the baby in whatever way you can and they will be good. Hope that helps...didn’t mean to butt in.

I’m out this month and crushed. I really felt pregnant. Had an HSG last month and was so hopeful.

Now I think I’m looking into surgery to remove some scar tissue.

I’m so sad.

I'm so sorry, ME. Hang in there. We're all thinking of you.
