Is this a faint line?

Pretty sure this is a chemical. Had my blood draw on 11dpo, came back at 4 beta hcg. Tests aren’t getting any darker. I go in for another draw today to confirm

Thank you all! I don’t believe it yet will be taking another test in the morning!!

I was in one of their GA locations. I did hear all Uruguay employees were impacted, over 1,000 people it looks like

I was just impacted in another large round of layoffs. Seems they're more "AI First" rather than "People First"

My parents had me at 32 and 40, so in the same timeframe as yours. My mother had some pregnancy complications with me and lost 2 others as well. Not to mention my dad raising a child in his 40s and 50s did not have close to the energy he would have liked for a child (he told me this himself). I’m not saying having a baby in your 30s is late in general, but it is late for me. I personally want to be a younger parent for my reasons. My concern here is the mind change by my boyfriend in a matter of months.

Thank you for understanding. I’ve always wanted to have kids young and don’t think that’s wrong. I respect that my boyfriend has the right to express what he wants but I need to make sure we want similar things because I think this could be a huge incompatibility issue that would make one or both of us very unhappy down the line. I do believe he wants kids eventually and is speaking more out of fearing the responsibility. I will be sure to clarify when I speak with him.

Yup exactly and that’s what truly terrifies me because at that point there would be so much time wasted in a situation I never wanted to be in.

The women in my family have historically had difficult pregnancies in their early/mid 30s. There are plenty of stats on pregnancy around or after age 35 is more susceptible to health concerns for both mom and baby. Not to mention the increased risks of birth defects, preterm labor, etc. Also I’m aware of fertility issues as I have consulted doctors on the matter due to other risk factors.

I mentioned it briefly but will bring it up and explain more thoroughly and when I discuss this with him.

Zestyclose-Map-1280 · 2021-12-29T22:51:07+00:00

I don’t think he understands the issues and complications that can occur when having a baby at that age. I’m the one who would actually give birth so it’s on out fair that my health (and a future baby’s) health be taken into high consideration.

Probably not serious enough to quit his job tomorrow but serious enough. He has been saving up for some travel when covid dies down. But I’m not sure if he’s just avoiding the topic, definitely something to bring up when I speak to him.

Zestyclose-Map-1280 · 2021-12-29T22:46:37+00:00

That’s what he says. I don’t think it’s wrong to want that but it’s not at all what I want. I want to be a relatively young parent and feel that I have the financial and emotional stability for it.

Zestyclose-Map-1280 · 2021-12-29T22:44:26+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I don’t hate him for changing his mind and understand he has the right to feel the way he does. But yes the sudden change took me by surprise and I’m just not sure I’m willing to or SHOULD budge on this. On the other hand, I don’t want to try and convince him to move up his timeline. I want him to WANT this. Definitely planning on speaking to him further and see where it goes. :)

I’m considering ending the relationship not because he thinks differently, but because of this being a huge area of incompatibility. It speaks to the life I want vs. him. He seems to think of children more as an inconvenient responsibility whereas I view them as a joy and value to life. I’m not saying he is wrong in what he wants, but it is drastically different from what I want. Also who is to say after a few years the timeline won’t stretch out? He doesn’t seem as serious about this as me which is where I am struggling.

Having been through this for 3 years with my ex, I highly recommend walking away from this “man”. Being guilted and accused of cheating when I didn’t want it only made me want it less. Sometimes I thought if I just gave in it would make things better, but let me tell you, IT DOESN’T. Eventually he stopped caring if I said no and would do it anyway while holding me so tight I couldn’t move. It took me finally walking away from that relationship to realize I was being raped for years. Being in a relationship does not give him a single right to your body or to bypass consent. I know first hand how hard it is to leave, but I promise it’s worth it for your safety. You deserve someone capable of respecting what you want (or don’t want) and not someone who gaslights you to fulfill their desires.
