After deliberating back and forth, back and forth for almost a year maybe I finally made the decision and we started trying for another baby. Although what would’ve been a beautiful and fun time trying really felt more like a job or a duty to me. Which could be the reason why this month there were no pink lines on the stick. Although I took one of those “early detection” tests maybe the results were not accurate yet. I’ll only be 100% sure by next week when I would be late. See for the past 4 days I’ve been so tired, hungry, nauseated that I thought for sure I was. I still have mixed feelings, I mean I’m excited at the thought of getting pregnant but then I worry about everything that comes after. We’ll try again next month.
Edited to add: I took another test this afternoon. I swear my eyes are playing tricks on me but if I held the stick in a certain angle there is a very very very very faint line. Either that or I need to go for an eye exam. Made hubs go to the store and buy another brand and will take the test again tomorrow.
Edited again to add: another test taken this morning and it was negative…so I think my eyes were playing tricks on me and giving me the answer I secretly wanted.

Good luck!

Yup, it does feel like a chore. Enjoy the next little while of questioning every little blip that your body sends your way.

I’m sorry. I hope this becomes less artificial!

I was 100% sure that I wanted another baby and it still felt like a chore!!! Sometimes it does. I have a sneaky feeling you will be very excited once it does happen.

I had a very very very very faint line once, and it turned out that it was positive. Good luck!

Are you charting ovulation and trying early for a girl and later for a boy – stuff like that, or just trying for the sake of trying?
Either way, good luck… Is that what you say? Or do you say, have fun?!?
Awww. Get it done!
