TTC#3 Anyone who is care to join me?

Ooh good luck toffee and metime! I hope it will be BFPs all round!

Newtothisstuff - are you me? AF is due in a week, and on Saturday night I was kept awake for ages with a really sore pain, really low down and spreading out to the sides. Ever since I have had dull, AF type aches but no spotting etc. Boobs are starting to get a bit sore too. Like the silly arse I am, I did a test last night (not even an early result one!) but BFN of course. Also feel a bit sick and sweaty, and couldn't sleep last night, but I often get that before AF anyway. It's more the strange pain on Saturday that is confusing me, as I have never had that before.

Metime sounds quite promising! I hope it's a BFP for you.
I kind of remember implantation pains New, from my last 2 pregnancies, the first one was kind of a stabbing pain, and I had to lie down, and I also felt a pressure in my (tmi) rectum.

I went to the doctors about it and he thought I had PCOS at the time and said it could have been a cyst bursting, but looking back I think it was implantation.

For the second one, I felt a quick stabbing pain again, while I was dancing () but that passed quite quickly.
I suspected when that happened that I was pg but looking back, I think it was implantation.

I'm on CD 18 and we did it on CD 14, 16 and 17 around my OV. I had EWCM on CD13 up to CD17. That's weird isn't it? Normally that stringy CM doesn't last that long?
I woke up in the middle of the night on CD15 with a pain in my left ovary which I associate with OV, but we hadn't done it that night, so I hope the surrounding times we did it were sufficient.
My nipples are sore and I feel nauseous, but I am not banking on that AT ALL, as it's happened before and I wasn't pg.
I'll wait and see now. I'm expecting my period in about 10 to 14 days, depending on the length of the cycle.
But if I ovulated on day 15, that means AF should turn up on about day 30?
Is that correct?

Anyone experienced implantation pains?? , it's 8 days until AF is due and my womb feels like its about to explode, my boobs are killing too !! !!

hi ladies, how are we all?
well its 10days for me before AF is due, we dtd 5+6 days ago which according to the ovulation calendar which said 10-16 days is approx ovulating time based on a 28day cycle. and for the past 2 /3 days ive been wiped out, in bed by 8pm, last night had mild pains in my ovaries, today had to swap bras, as my old trustee ones have given me shoulder ache for 2 days! and today TMI when i went to the loo my cm was slightly stained between red/brown. so im hoping with all my heart that these are some good signs!?

Hi everyone! I hope you are all fine. I am useless at keeping up with threads!

I try to ignore all the EWCM etc FireAlarm. Almost three years of obsessively checking, monitoring etc, and the when I finally thought, "Oh sod it, this is never going to happen", we conceived DS2! Fingers crossed that you are upduffed though, and just tested a bit early.

CD19 (or thereabouts) for me today. We only DTD once at roughly the right time this month, so I can't see a BFP for me this month. It's not over 'til the Evil Red Witch sings though!

Waves to all seems as though we all have good approach to #3 project! Lots of dtd at more or less the right time is a great start! I really don't know what the ewcm stuff means at diff times, I have more now tmi......euuuugh! But am due af next week and thought ov was last week?! Now wondering if actually ov late, and concerned as even if dtd then not long enough before af for implantation, read that luteal phase needs be about 12 days or so. Hmmmm. Metime I think I have seen a similar website! Was indeed informative. Sorry to say I poas again yest!! Bfn no surprise! Still a bit early so will try another stick before af due. Thought I saw a line as test was running and then line on control window took ages appear and was right over to the side rather than in the middle like usual, was weird, sure means nothing tho!

another one here who never paid much notice of cm, or ovulation times. i managed to click on a website yesterday that showed me pictures of it...yuk to say the least! but it certainly was informative to see the differences and know exactly what to look for! this is now my 5day window for ov roughly according to the calculator, so im hoping that the two times we managed to dtd before dp went away for a couple of days did the trick, although he is back saturday so we will have another couple of goes that will still be in the window. then its just the waiting game again.
there should be a sits back and waits emoticon
good luck for all those bfps ladies for all of you who have got AF due before me, hope she stays away and we have all made our november beans

we are ttc #4 i have just finished my period and baby making starts tonight :)

I'm 32. Youngest 9 months oldest 6 ! Definitely want a small age gap for my last one. I've been charting temp. Anyone else ??? I just don't get it. How much would your temp dip before ovulation ?? One day it was 36.46 and the next 36.19 is that enough of a dip to be the before ovulation dip ?? (Lots of dips) now it's up to 36.91 (4 says after the 36.19) it's all confusing to me

fruit I'm 37 too, but my youngest is nearly 6. I wanted a smaller gap but we were so indecisive that we decided against it a couple of years ago. Now our situation has changed so it would be much easier financially, but I'm older and the gap is bigger, but we are both keen although terrified (me).

I am 37 toffee. I kind of feel a bit now or never about number 3 as i would prefer a smaller age gap. DS and DD are two and a bit years apart and get on well mostly so i worry a bit about a third feeling left out and we definitely can't afford 4! We might have done it earlier but i left a job that had become stressful and since then had a temporary contract so had to wait to get a more permanent position. If it works out i am considering child.minding though. I feel like everything is on hold until we know for sure about number 3!

Have dtd 3 times this week around halfway through cycle (this much dtd is unheard of!). DD was result of careless one off so i feel like a bfp is quite possible. I could be sharing my birthday potentially!! Have to admit to savoring a few glasses of wine this week just in case i have to give it up...

Thanks Queen, we'll try and do our best while away but didn't do it last night, hope it's not too late. Any news for you queen?

PS: I'm on CD13 and noticed some EWCM, so does that mean i'm ovulating now or in 2 days time?

Sorry I can't even spell tonight, I meant to say "whether" not "wheather".

Newto and *Bumpkin welcome and good luck!
Metime, regarding the "hiding" while DTD, usually ours are asleep and our door is closed, so they don't hear us.
Fruitpastille welcome and good luck, just to let you know that I feel exactly the same as you, I am wondering wheather I am crazy to want a third.
How old are you?
I don't know wheather I'm ovulating, but I certainly have the EWCM today, does that mean I will be ovulating in a couple of days?
We did it yesterday (I don't suppose it was any use), but the trouble is, tomorrow night and the night after that are out as we are staying in a hotel for a couple of nights, and the kids are sharing a bedroom with us .
How can I sort that out? Otherwise I'll waste a month.

Hi, I think I posted earlier on in this thread, well done to those with BFPs.

I feel like a bit of a fraud posting really as we're not actively TTC until April. I came off the pill last month and have been taking folic acid in preparation, DH is still not fully on board for April yet but I'm working on him.

As we're having to use condoms, which we both don't really like, we ended up having unprotected sex on Saturday. According to the app I have on my iPhone, I should have ovulated the day before. I know that there is probably the smallest, tiniest possibility of me being pregnant, as I've not yet had the 'real' period since stopping the pill so may not even have ovulated, but it's not stopping me hoping and wishing like a mad woman.

Also, I've had the weirdest feelings since being off the pill, it's like I can feel everything starting to fire up again, and I had the mucus too (this website has informed me about so much that I never even noticed before). I've been off the pill quite a few times but its the first time I've paid attention to my body.

Think I should say that my DH is totally aware that I'm not currently on the pill, he agreed with me coming off it last month so knew that the sex was unprotected.

So, do you think there is any real chance of a BFP? Or am I just clutching at straws? I would love us to be TTC right now, I've been ready for a long time. Wish DH would just decide properly but maybe he's not wanting to make a 'final' decision and leave it up to me, he can be quite indecisive.

AF due 1st March, in the past (when not on pill) I've been pretty regular.

Am I a crazy, mad woman?

Hi everyone, hope this is indeed a lucky thread!
Fruit- my rl friends/fam think a bit mad ttc 3 and part of me agrees but just seems right for us.....if it would happen soon enough however!
Sorry popsy hope lucky next time, I also wasted ££ this morn on frer but prob still way to early! Knew I shouldn't have but found myself purchasing then poas! No more. Had even more pms symptoms today, af due in a week, started having cramps etc on Sunday which was way too early for me so still kind of hoping was implantation but now feels more like af symptoms.....arrrgh! Waiting waiting is just so frustrating, will try resist frer until at least nxt Tuesday!, if that's neg too then will be :-( surprised how much I want it to happen now it's taking so long. Good luck to u all.

Hi newto and bumpkin!

Well AF finally arrived this am - over 6wks after coil taken out and had 2wks solid of PMT grrr

Kind of knew I wasn't pg (though that didn't stop me wasting £££ on tests...)

Good luck to those still on 2WW
xx

Hi ladies, would yous mind another ttc'er #3? I haven't read through all the thread but I gather there have been many happy bfp's already. So congrats to all.

My story is I'm 41, have 2 dc aged 7 & 5, had mmc last year and no luck since. Dithered for years whether to ttc for #3 or not. Financial worry being the main one and now age has become another. Was devastated after mc and took long time to get over it emotionally and physically. Was very worried I am in early menopause as af cycles very very irregular since erpc. Went to gp last week and she said it was normal and not to worry but took some bloods to test hormones. I did stress myself out last year temping, using opk's etc so I gave it all up before Xmas and now trying to be more natural and casual about it.

In ttc number 3 dd1 is 6 dd2 is 9 months, we've been trying pretty much since Dd2 was born, I wanted a smaller age gap and to get our family complete ASAP it just doesn't seem to want to happen right now !!! I've started using a basal thermometer now so hopefully it helps

Just sneaking back to say congratulations to Choc and good luck to all the new ladies on the thread - it seems to be a lucky one :)
Metime my 2 are younger and so we relied on early bedtimes or tv. Not sure how parents who have teenagers manage it!
Blondies if you start a thread I'll join you. I've been posting on the Oct one, but it's very busy.

AF today I think. Can't believe how bloody disappointed I feel!!!
