We’re ready for baby #2. It’s not a secret. If you’re expecting to be expecting you know well and through that when you’re even a day late you might you wanna positive so bad. You may even rush to buy a pregnancy test STAT.
You may be wild with excitement and bulk buy those pregnancy tests… idk to each their own. Is this common? Asking for a friend…
But what is the right day to take your pregnancy test? Are you crazy if you feel like taking them every day you’re late until you’ve got a sign of your cycle or a big plusser on a stick?
The truth is, who cares. Take it the day you’re late or when you’re 5 days late. Either is fine by me. I over exhausted my willingness to see yet another negative. So I like to wait at least three for a more accurate read. I had to stop spending the amount of money it takes to check each day.
I’m still hurt by my miscarriage – that it’s a damned if I am damn if I’m not. You are here because you’re probably wondering is it normal to feel any sliver of a symptom and just pray that you’re somewhat pregnant. It’s absolutely normal to wish this. Optimism is key when struggling in fertility.
I’m so in tune with my cycle that I can literally sense when I’m about to start. Which also means I could be pre-disappointed and makes my cycle drag on a little more.
I spoke to my doctor, I asked when is the most appropriate time to take a pregnancy test? He said typically 3-5 days after your missed cycle however stronger (more pricey) tests can determine as soon as 10 days after conception. It’s easier to wait until a missed period. Of course, the longer you wait the more accurate the reading.
If you’re a part of any mom fb groups you know plain and simple if it’s blurry you’ve got to ask the Facebook for advice. Are you even TTC if you don’t do this? All jokesters aside, we never become a professional at becoming a mom.
I would love more than anything for my son to have a little sib. However, it will happen in due time, but it doesn’t make the waiting period easy, nor does it stop those who are nosey from asking the gut wrenching “when are you having more”?
All in all, keep your head up, you will get there. Hey, it’s never too early to set your body up for success when your beautiful rainbow makes its entrance onto your pregnancy stick. So take the prenatals! Drink tons of water, even if you pee every 20 min. You got this! Be kind to yourself!
