Anyone else trying for DC3?!

How are all the car shoppers doing? We've just bought a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso. It's not ready yet but I'm excited (and a bit scared of driving something so massive). We also looked at the Ford S-Max and a couple of VWs but much preferred the Citroen. We've got some nice extras like the reversing cameras and the kids have trays at the back. Particularly excited about the entirely unnecessary seat massage function! The most important thing is that there's 3 isofix seats and plenty of room for us.

@Wingingit3211 I used to have cycles quite similar to that. One short then one long. I think I was sometimes ovulating on the shorter ones but the longer ones were anovulatory.

I’ve not tried @anyday88 maybe I should never month

@Wingingit3211 have you tried temping? I've never done it but from reading it seems that is the way to confirm ovulation.

@PaulHollywoodsSexGut oooh I hope it all works out and you get your positive test soon. I will have an almost 4 year old, 2 year old and baby when this one arrives 🙈

I’ve found my people!

I am presently in limbo at 3 days late with a period usually like clockwork and about 50 negative pregnancy tests in the bin.

We were going to start for #3 in October 2019 but have brought it forward now as we had a contraceptive free bonk a couple of weeks ago and found we weren’t panic struck at the concept of 17months between DC2 and 3.

We also have a DD who is 2.5.

Can you tell I’m nudging 40?!

Cd24 and I’m spotting, probably my period.
My cycles are all over the place I really don’t even know if I’m ovulating :(

@Wingingit3211 exactly the same, we have a wedding in August and we were going to see how far along I was before deciding. Just seems so crazy that the first 2 were a doddle and this one is just taking it's time. I am hoping by not thinking about it this month and taking the month off that I will be a lot less worried

Great line @Anyday88

@DeltaG welcome, really hope you come to a decision that works for you all. Health and financial worries definitely take a lot more thought to work through xx

@LittleTipple I know, you were so right 😊😊

How is everyone else going?

Thanks @Wingingit3211 hope you are ok!

I'd like a third but so many practical things are putting me off. Like the fact I had HG with the first two for the entire 9 months each, was in and out of hospital, and on antidepressants with the second pregnancy because of it.

We live abroad from both our countries, so we're completely on our own for childcare. It is expensive and difficult to juggle with 2, let alone 3. Plane tickets for 5 when coming home to visit grandparents or traveling (we love traveling) will be expensive.

I'm between jobs and actively looking for something new, so getting pregnant now would bugger that up.

Hmmmmmm

@meg87 we are coming into month 8 too after ds1&2 wereconcieved straigjt away so I can definitely understand your frustration. I really thought I’d have a big bump by now

Congrats @anyday88. Not feeling hopeful this month

Congratulations @Anyday88 that’s such fantastic news! Do stay with us and keep us updated with your progress! I just love seeing the positive tests... so exciting!

Sorry to hear that the doctors weren’t too helpful @Megs87 - hopefully your bloods will show something more conclusive.

Only 13 days now til coil removal can’t come soon enough - plan to jump DH as soon as the appointment is over!

@Megs87 it is our anniversary! 😊😊

@Anyday88 isn't it your anniversary today? If so what an amazing anniversary present xx

Congratulations @Anyday88 amazing news!

@NoseringGirl they couldn't offer much other than its either a one off early cycle or an early MC, they have taken bloods and I have to monitor then they will review bloods early next week.

I got my bfp this morning!

Although very cautious after my mc in April but it looks like number 3 is on the way 😊

How is everyone else getting on?

Sorry about that @Megs87 xx

How did you get on at the doctors @Megs87?

Sorry to hear about your bleeding @Megs87 - hopefully the doctors have some answers for you! TTC can be so draining so you do right giving yourself a little you time to get yourself in a better place.

@Anyday88 light bleeding overnight and again this morning. Have doctors this afternoon, I rang and explained and they wanted to see me. Not AF style bleed nor AF feeling so I'm so confused. Anyway DH is away for 4 months next year so we are having the next couple of months off so at least I won't be due when he is away. Think it will help my sanity.

Good luck to everyone else xx

How are you getting on @Megs87 I really hope you are ok! It truly is an emotional rollercoaster isn't it!

So now it's more like rust blood rather than tinged cm, I have mild cramps and nausea now but don't feel periody. I'm only cd23 with AF not due until Sat or Sun. I am fed up of this cycle now. Think for my sanity I'm going to take a few months off after this!

I do use them. I test a couple of times a day as they get darker. I rarely get them completely positive and never get 'blazing' positives because I drink so much water and after pushing two babies out have a weak bladder 🤣 I just go by when they start darkening and then I know I'll probably get a temp rise soon after.
