Anyone else trying for DC3?!

Can't quite believe I've just written that title...after a lot of indecision DH and I have decided to see where fate takes us. So we're not obsessively trying, but I know generally when I ovulate so we'll DTD around that time. Tbh we're still not 100% convinced we'd cope with three, but sometimes you have to take a leap of faith.

I've been thinking about it constantly and our ages mean it's now or never. We adore our 2 DC's and if that's what we're meant to have we'll be very happy, but if fate has other ideas, we're up for the challenge!

About to start AF and then off we go Smile

Do you use IC ones? I struggled holding my wee for long enough, how do you manage it?

NoseringGirl · 02/07/2018 18:55

On average about CD16 but it was CD14 last month. My OPKs go dark very gradually but it's not started yet.

Megs87 · 02/07/2018 18:51

I'm only CD22 so another 5 days before AF is due that's gonna drag 🙈

Do you know roughly when you ov @NoseringGirl

NoseringGirl · 02/07/2018 18:42

Sorry about AF @Megs87! Both my two took a while to conceive and it does start to get you down for a while. I imagine that's intensified if it's been quicker for you before.

CD12 for me today and still very negative OPKs.

Anyday88 · 02/07/2018 18:04

I absolutely get what you mean I'm feeling the pressure and it's only cycle 3 post mc but I've always been pregnant cycle 1 or 2 before so I can imagine how you are feeling

Megs87 · 02/07/2018 17:57

Massively! Getting a bit fed up of trying to be honest. This will be cycle 8 when AF arrives and I know it's not very long when others have been trying for over a year, but both of mine were very quick

Anyday88 · 02/07/2018 17:52

So rubbish @Megs87 it's an emotional rollercoaster isn't it?!

Megs87 · 02/07/2018 17:47

Thanks @LittleTipple it's turned red now though. Not due on until Saturday / Sunday so it's earlier than normal. Why is TTC so emotionally draining?!

Could be implantation @Megs87 so don't count yourself out yet. x

Just been to toilet and had quite a bit of brown cm (tmi sorry) so think I might be out this month. Did have some spotting this past week but seemed to have stopped on Sat. Waiting game now

Megs87 · 02/07/2018 11:07

I agree @LittleTipple with my first pregnancy I conceived the month I stopped charting and tracking as I got too stressed out with it.

I have used OPKs this month just to work out if I ovulate when I think I do which has helped.

And @Anyday88 exactly the same feeling here, I keep questioning what is wrong as DS1 was my first cycle after MMC and DS2 was when DS1 was 6months old and first cycle of trying. It's hard not to overthink everything isn't it.

Anyday88 · 02/07/2018 09:27

I can feel that I am putting pressure on myself as I have conceived all three pregnancies on 1st or 2nd cycle. Unfortunately I had a mc in April and this is 2nd cycle post that! I am trying to be realistic but it's so hard and I am torturing myself with the possibility that the mc will have messed with everything 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Anyday88 BFN today could easily be BFP in a few days! As much as I hate the TWW, I do enjoy the 'anything is possible' feeling. Stay positive and miracles could happen Smile

I've got my OPKS and will start testing tomorrow, as I O a bit earlier than CD14 (well I used to, will be interesting to see if I still do). I've got mixed feelings about OPKs - when we were TTC for 2 years for DC1, it was the month we stopped all charting/testing that I got pregnant. With DC2 I got pregnant first try, just by guessing when I ovulated. For me, the charting and testing seems to make me more anxious and that doesn't help TTC. However, I want to check if I'm still ovulating when I used to, so will do it for this month and see.

Sorry for the BFN @Anyday88 hopefully AF doesn't arrive and you have just tested early.

I'm going to try and hold off until just before AF is due, I get spotting a couple of days before AF arrives so if that comes then I know I am out

NoseringGirl · 02/07/2018 07:02

Sorry for the bfn @Anyday88 but like you said, it's very early!

Anyday88 · 02/07/2018 06:46

Caved and tested! Bfn here as expected really!!
When will you test @Megs87?

Trying to stay positive now, although not too positive haha!

Megs87 · 02/07/2018 06:39

Wingingit it only takes one time so hopefully you got to DTD :)

@Anyday88 fingers crossed! I haven't bought any frer to stop me testing! Let us know how you get on xx

Anyday88 · 01/07/2018 20:34

I am pretty sure that it will be negative but 🤷🏼‍♀️ @NoseringGirl

NoseringGirl · 01/07/2018 20:28

I'd be doing it too @Anyday88! Best of luck! I'm very envious that you get to test and I'm not even in the 2WW yet. I'll be living vicariously through your POAS tomorrow so let us know how you get on 🤣

Anyday88 · 01/07/2018 20:23

Probably @NoseringGirl even though realistically it's probably way too early 😂

NoseringGirl · 01/07/2018 19:41

So testing tomorrow then? Grin

Anyday88 · 01/07/2018 19:22

Thanks @NoseringGirl they arrived a few hours ago and I can already feel them burning a hole in my drawer 😂😂

NoseringGirl · 01/07/2018 19:03

I'm CD11 and started doing OPKs which are unsurprisingly negative. Still DTD as much as possible just in case (and because it's fun Grin)
Good luck for the arrival of the FRERs @Anyday88

Anyday88 · 01/07/2018 15:41

How is everyone doing today? I'm roughly 9dpo now!
The frer haven't been delivered yet which is probably a good thing as I am already planning on my head when to take them 😂😂

I'm feeling increasingly nauseous yesterday and today but I am just trying to put it down to the heat as I am pretty sure it's too early for that 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Wingingit3211 hope you get chance to dtd!

Wingingit3211 · 01/07/2018 13:09

Me and DH being arguing all week and my app has announced that I’m ovulating today. Annoying as we’ve barely had sex. Spent the weekend with my friend and her baby. Kn so broody it aches!
