Anyone else trying for DC3?!

Evening ladies, we are trying for number 3! I have short cycles and wonder if this down to the mirena coil I had? I'm cd4 on cycle 2 and have just started charting my temperature.

Ooh @RandomUsernameHere pleased we’re at the same point, hopefully we’ll both ov soon & we can crack on.

I’m optimistically hoping to be pg by Christmas (which is ridiculous because it took me a year to conceive my 1st) so fingers crossed!

Using this cycle to temperature chart & check when ov happens.

Congratulations @thatshabbychick !

@LatteLover12 sounds like I'm in a similar position to you, I've just finished my withdrawal bleed after stopping the pill. No idea when I'm going to ovulate! DH has a stinking cold this morning so won't be going near him for a while anyway 😂

Congratulations @thatshabbychick 😃

How’s everyone else getting on?

My pill break bleed has come to an end so I’m now on ovulation watch...🧐
I’m expecting this to be a six week (ish) cycle but who knows?! My partner is working away for the next two weeks so the law of sod says I’ll ov when he’s away! 😂

Brilliant news @thatshabbychick congratulations!

Sorry auto correct made mistakes on my last message! It was meant to say I won't be on these forums ANYMORE and that it was a random test this LUNCHTIME 🙈

Hi Ladies. I got my BFP at lunchtime today (after a negative on a cheapy this morning!), so I won't be hanging around these forums anyway. But wanted to wish you all the very best of luck. I was SO impatient and I had convinced myself that I was definitely out this month, then all of a sudden a random chance test on a FRER this month and it's a positive! So please don't lose hope, because I'm proof that it definitely isn't over until AF arrives! I think I'm 12-13DPO today and I have had BFN morning and night every day up until today! Sending you all good fertility vibes xXx

@sambababy So sorry, I'm blabbering on about myself again and hadn't read your comment below. Sending lots of healing to you and I hope you can feel positive about TTC as soon as you feel that you can x

So I'm now either 10 or 11DPO I think. Am now on amoxicillin for a suspected UTI (sample sent to hospital today for confirmation). It's now really hard to tell if any of my symptoms are from an infection or a possible pregnancy😩 I've had cramping, twinges, pulling feeling down below, weeing more often, slightly tender boobs, weird dreams, way more tired in the evening than I usually am....YET I've done 4 FRER's and a few internet cheapies already, a few with FMU, some not....they are all BFN! Yesterday and today (sorry for being gross), def increased CM, but I think I sometimes get that when I'm due AF too🙄. I'm sure that I'd have a BFP on an early test by now, so I think AF is arriving shortly and all of my 'symptoms' have been from a UTI! I'm already feeling disappointed and frustrated, because conceiving this month would have been lovely timing and I just naively thought that it could happen quickly for us. Hope everyone else is getting on well and sending you lots of luck if you're testing in the next few days xx

Thanks @LatteLover12 I'm just glad it has happened now and not later as this will be my fertile week and it's clearly not the best time to be getting pregnant.

Really sorry to hear that @sambababy

Always happy to listen if you want to talk about it. The ladies over on the relationship board are also super helpful.

Hope you’re okay xx

I'm going to take a break from checking in. No sooner do I decide to ttc do I find myself with somewhat of a marriage crisis :(

Good luck to everyone

Hello, may I please join?

I’m on Cycle 1 and if it doesn’t happen now then we’ll pause and restart in the new year.
DS is nearly 4, DD is 2 next month.
I’m on CD11 and my last cycle was 29days long. I’m going to start with OPKs today.

Cd 27.. bfn. To be fair I may not have even ovulated yet, have a friend visiting tonight so at least I can have guilt free wine

@LatteLover12 @LittleTipple Thank you for your responses ladies. I think I'm typing messages too quickly, because it keeps changing words that I type and making me sound like I can't form sentences properly! 😆 So please excuse any spelling mistakes/grammar issues! Today, the cramping has really tailed off and I didn't have insomnia last night either, which was a relief. I still feel a bit tender around my ovary area and my boobs (well one of them!) feels a bit tender too. They felt really full yesterday, but today they feel empty! 🙈 I usually get that when I'm due AF, so maybe this whole pain episode has just been a cyst bursting this month and AF will arrive soon. It's frustrating because I don't know my dates properly this month. I started spotting and having brown blood (sorry - bit gross) on Saturday 4th, but I don't think any actual 'flow' until the Monday 6th. So I'm unsure which was my day , which therefore massively affects AF due date etc. Anyway, sorry I'm blabbering on and this is going to be another really long message. My husband said that it could be a UTI too- it doesn't hurt when I actually wee- it's just that the cramps were getting worse when I needed to wee, from the pressure of my bladder. We did DTD a lot more often this month than we normally would 🙈 So a UTI is a possibility. I think I'm going to give it until Thursday and if AF hasn't arrived, tests are still negative and I'm still getting pain, I will call the doctors x

Hi @thatshabbychick

Sorry you’re feeling so rubbish. I wouldn’t worry too much about the aches and pains unless they become sharp/one sided/unbearable. Have you taken any paracetamol? It’s gentle enough to be safe in pregnancy (sorry if that seems obvious).

It sounds like it could be a UTI or kidney infection if it hurts to wee and you have back pain. I’d make a GP appointment to get it checked.

Is the flat/solid surface of the floor helping your back or are you just ending up there because of the insomnia?

I’m sorry I’m not much help! When is AF due?

I'm feeling so rough. I'm now almost 9DPO. Have already done a couple of early tests and both BFN. My boobs are a bit sore and feel big, I've had the worst cramping in the last few days and I've felt nauseous a couple of times too. I also think that I might have increased CM which I am sure I don't normally get at this time. My lower back is reallly hurting too, but I've always got issues with my back and I've been alternating between my bed and a mattress on the floor in my sons bedroom for the last few nights, so it could be that. Ive has terrible insomnia in the last couple of nights too. I just don't know whether I should be worried that something might be wrong? With both of my sons pregnancies, I had severe cramping for a couple of days, at about the 5-6 weeks mark. Both times I ended up at the EPU having an internal scan to check everything. So, although I know that it's 'normal' for me to get cramping in early pregnancy, I am worrying because this seems too soon and it's going on for lounger. It's so bad that I couldn't even drive today, it hurts more when I need a wee or when I sit down and it makes me feel a bit sick because it hurts so much- it's on par with early contractions in both of my labours!! I just generally feel rough, I'm worried about cramping, I'm in pain, I'm tired etc. Do you think I should be concerned that I feel so awful? I was thinking maybe I should see how I feel overnight and then could maybe call EPU tomorrow morning? But I'm not sure they'd be willing to see me, because I haven't actually had a BFP yet?? Any advice would be lovely, I usually have healthy anxiety quite badly, but I feel like I've felt quite calm so far, because the possibility of a pregnancy causing the symptoms has made me excited, but now I'm just feeling rough and it's starting to worry me 😩😩x

Thanks LittleTipple

Well I got impatient and tried the test yesterday and got my 2-3 weeks and also done a FRER and the test line is now darker than the control line so all good.

I see in your post you say you have been getting a lot of ewcm and it’s a bit past your ovulation dates. This happened to me and I thought I ovulated late although there was so much of it. I got my BFP three days after AF was due. It could be a good sign for you too. When is AF due? X
