[PinkCupcakes]

Oh my gosh I’m finally here and catching up and omg @PinkCupcakes I am absolutely over the moon for you!!! Yay yay yay! Tests are looking amazing!

Thank you so much! I can’t believe it!

@PinkCupcakes yey they are definitely darker

No doubting it now! I’m going to be scheduling our first ultrasound in four weeks from now!

@PinkCupcakes Wooo hoo!!! What lovely positive lines!!!!!! Huge congratulations!!! How old is your boy now?? Yeah, having your thyroid levels controlled definitely helps with fertility! I had a similar case with my thyroid too. Had a few early miscarriages when my thyroid levels were not stable. Once it stabilised, I finally conceived my rainbow baby.

Thank you! I had never been able to conceive and docs kept saying my thyroid was normal but it was on the extreme high end of normal, so I saw a fertility specialist at Mayo in Rochester Mn and she said even though my thyroid levels are “normal” for your body to conceive they need to be in the 1’s and 2’s and I was like a 6! Now I’m on levothyroxine and need to be basically forever now! Lol

@PinkCupcakes ahhhh I knew that faint line was real!!! Congratulations!!!

Thank you so much! I still can’t believe it! I never seen a late BFP before, like everyone I’ve seen is always 8 or 9DPO so I really thought I was out, it was soooo faint the other day and day before.

@HalfricanMa not to sound weird but why is she breastfeeding so much?! That's crazy! I'm all for feeding on demand but that seems excessive! Do you offer it to her or is she coming up and helping herself lol? My boy is 12 months now and has 4 feeds a day, morning, night and before both nap times he falls to sleep on the boob. But he wouldn't just come up and try to feed on his own if that makes any sense, I pick him up and lay him into position and he knows it's time for a feed/nap x
Could you offer extra snacks instead or a sippy cup/bottle of cows milk maybe? Or do you think it's a comfort thing?
I hope you guys don't mind me hanging out with you here even though I'm not ttc anymore! It's weird to think that my ttc/pregnancy journey is over x

She entirely helps herself! Every kid is different. Some children really enjoy the milk regardless of what’s on the table.
And yes, she always has water bottles of various drinks available and eats more than her 3 yr old brother! She’s been on solids since 5 months and takes down burgers on her own. She fills her own cup and asks for what she wants. It’s certainly not a hunger thing; it’s attachment. She’s in the middle of the peak attachment phase so it certainly makes sense.
Plus she’s now moved out of the crib and sleeps in a queen mattress on the floor with her brother. Her vocabulary has exploded also. Different changes get some children wanting to nurse.

Im so curious about this as Ive breastfed all mine till fairly old, my boy was 3 when he had his last one, but none of them ever came over and 'asked' for it if that makes sense. Does she come up and just pull your top down and go for it lol? I've never had that happen for me so can't imagine it but I've seen it happen on clips online and stuff. I don't know how you go about cutting down if it's like that! Now I'm wondering why mine don't do that! Do everyone else's babies actively ask for/help themselves to boob? (other than obvs when tiny asking by crying and hunger cues lol)
We are definitely having a development leap over here with my 1 Yr old, this week we have mastered climbing stairs (oh the joys), opening cupboards, and zips! Nothing is safe anymore and I'm tearing my hair out lol x
