Anyone else trying for DC3?!

Cd 25 . Who knows what’s going on. Continuing to have sex until my period or a positive pregnancy test

I think it might actually work this time! I am 11 weeks today but this is baby at 8+4 and have my next scan at 12+4 which feels like it’s taking forever to get here!!

How is everyone else?
Congratulations on the bfps!!!

Hi everyone, can I join please?
I have DD and DS already (twins) age 4.
Just come off the combined pill and very excited and also nervous to TTC!

Congratulations to those that have already got BFPs!

Congratulations until & mummy2019!
@Regina - yep, copper coil out and you can conceive straight away. I had mine out about 9 weeks ago more or less midcycle and coming to the end of the 2nd full cycle now and my cycles have stayed the same length etc Good luck!

Thank you very much @LatteLover12 x

I had a chemical pregnancy last month on our first month. Really not felt up to anything this month and we have only actually dtd once but I’m convinced my boobs are tingling who knows I’m sure it’s all in my head

Ooh congratulations @mummy2019

Hi everyone

New here ! This will be our first month TTC #3 (I think, possibly skipping this cycle!) . Excited as I conceived my first 2 very quickly/easily but know it doesn't mean it'll happen again this time!

Had my copper coil removed two weeks ago and think I can conceive pretty much straight away since there were no hormones involved! Fingers crossed , good luck to everyone else !

Hi ladies 👋🏻

Just stumbled across the link to this thread on another post. I just got my BFP last Sunday on a FRER being 3 days late. It wasn't exceptionally dark but it was definitely there and I didn't have to squint to see it. I had another FRER the day before which was negative. I got a Pregnant 1-2 weeks on the clear blue digital on the Tuesday after and have one left to do. When do you think would be best to test to see if the weeks indicator has moved up? I swore I wouldn't use these tests but I've caved lol. Xxx

This would be my third child xx

Untiltheveryend that does seem long considering your situation... Would you consider a private scan?

@Flamingosnbears 👋 hiya! Glad to have you! I’ve been on this thread from the very beginning - I had to wait for a ridiculous amount of weeks to get my mirena coil removed. I joined in with the ladies while I waited of course and TTC vicariously through them. I had my coil removed from 5 weeks ago and waited for my period to arrive so I could start Cd1 - it never came and I got a postive test not sure when exactly I ovulated or actually conceived but the CB digital said i was 2-3 weeks so must have been around 5th of August. I’ve booked to see the midwife but they can’t see me until 10.5 weeks which I think is too long considering I’m not sure of dates and have medication issues to discuss but hey ho!
I’m just more grumpy that I did get to enjoy more jolly good sex before I got my BFP - I’m just so tired now I can barley stay up past 9pm haha x

Hiya All 👋, thanks for the invite Untiltheveryend Congrats on your ➕!! 😀. How long did it take you? X

@thatshabbychick thanks. I also feel sick if I have coffee late in the day. I did some research and I think I need to fix my cycle. I haven’t been as healthy that past several months and drinking more after a few deaths close to me (including my father). Been drinking more etc. My periods became irregular and I wonder if it’s effected my fertility as I was clock work 28 day cycle for over ten years and got pregnant first try first two times. But then cycle got messed up and I’m not sure when or if I ovulate . So I’m hoping to get things back on track. When I was in university I thought I might have PCOS and saw a Chinese doctor. He fixed my cycles and they were great for over ten years. It was amazing. I had 21 day cycles but sometimes irregular , acne etc. Anyway, he gave me teas to drink and pills and it somehow balanced me. Cycles were clock work for so long until this past year when I lost two very close friends to cancer and my father. Then stress and bad diet/drinking caused my system to get out of whack. Hopefully you are having symptoms of early pregnancy. And as I’m sure you know even w PCOS, you can still get pregnant. It’s just more Tricky. Crossing fingers for you!

@LatteLover12 Wishing you lots of luck. I'm sure your cycles will settle down soon. When I came
off of the pill to conceive our second, I remember it taking a good 4-5 months to regulate again. I'd been researching fertility tips etc and the biggest tip seemed to be to ensure that your diet/nutrition is good and to manage your weight. I was overweight, so I started trying to be healthier and I started eating quite a bit of salmon (I hadn't like it before that) and I fell pregnant the next month! I'm convinced it was the salmons doing! 😂xx

@Mamabear12 Sorry to hear that. Sending you lots of luck for this next cycle 🤞🏼🤞🏼I don't feel hopeful for this cycle either. I'm on cycle day 19, think I ovulated day 14/15. Have been having some cramps in ovary type area, but I'm convinced it's because I didn't ovulate and it's been a cyst this month (I have PCOS). Started to feel a bit sick tonight and got a little bit paranoid l, but then I remembered that I've eaten rubbish all day and had a coffee at 4pm (I always feel unwell when I have coffee! 🙈), so it's probably all psychological 😩 Xx

Got my p one day early. So will need to start trying again next month. But my cycles are a bit irregular now from 24-28 days...mostly around 25 days which makes me wonder if I am even ovulating. I had sex the first day I saw the EWCM, which came on day 13, but according to online fertility calculator I should have ovulated day 10...but once when I did the ovulation strips I ovulated like day 18!!! So now I am all CONFUSED! Ah well.

Thank you @thatshabbychick I’m keeping my fingers crossed re cycles. When I was ttc#1 (a million years ago!) they were all over the place but after I’d had DS2 settled down to a regular 32 days. Then I met my new partner & went on the pill so I’m praying it hasn’t buggered everything up again!

I’m 37 so no time to waste

@thatshabbychick I had support from them for a year after each baby. I got quite poorly when DS2 was 3 weeks old and DH called my nurse who was at my house within 45 mins and I was put on medication by the afternoon. If I hadn't had that incredible support I probably would've ended up in hospital. The hormones aren't good for me, not quite sure why I'm wanting to put myself through it again 🙈

Welcome @LatteLover12!

@LatteLover12 Hello :) I've only just joined this thread too and have been welcomed by a few lovely ladies already, its a very friendly group. I know how you feel about dreading the baby stage. My youngest is actually only 3.5yrs, but we've recently potty trained etc, so just as things are getting easier, we might end up going back to nappies etc again for another few years 🙈 Hope your cycles get back on track quickly x

@NoseringGirl It's so hard isn't it? Did you have any ongoing help after having your children? I had the perinatal mental health nurse visiting me during my second pregnancy, but after that I said I felt ok, so that was it! I wish I'd have carried on seeing her, because I felt quite well, but I think I've just got so used to being a bit anxious all the time, that I just thought I was 'normal', but actually looking back, I could have done with a bit of support and probably still could! I've been a bit of a hormonal fruit loop by whole life, but pregnancy/postnatal/having children has definitely made it much worse. x

@Yuzuko Sorry just realised I got carried away explaining what my children are like and didn't get to the actual point I was trying to make! 😆 Having our first child put us off of trying for a second, because he was so hard. So our second son didn't arrive until our first was nearly 4.5 yrs Second son is now nearly 3.5yrs and because he's been so much easier, it's given us the confidence to try for another! x

@Yuzuko Thank-you. Sending lots of good luck to you for your third try. I remember feeling broody immediately after having my second and have been feeling it on/off ever since. My first son (who is now nearly 8) has been hard work. He was a nightmare as a baby, hard work as a toddler and is an incredibly needy/anxious 7 year old now! He has never slept through the night, he still gets into our bed in the middle of the night and sleeps with us etc. My second is completely different, was such an easy baby and is now quite an easy toddler (in comparison to my eldest!). He likes sleep and has always been great at having a nap during the day. He does get into our bed in the middle of the night as well, but we've never really bothered to try and persevere with taking him back to his own bed, so it's our own fault. Luckily, we have a king size bed, but my about 1am there are 4 of us squashed in it!! 😩😂 If we are lucky enough to have a third, I have no idea where he/she will fit!x

Hello, please can i join?

I’ve got 3 days of pills left then I’ll be ttc#3 (after my cycles settle down).

I’ve already got two boys who are 10 & 6 but I have a new partner so this will be his first. I really thought I was done with the baby phase! I must be mad.

@thatshabbychick I'm into my 4th cycle now. I'm also looking forward to the break from PMT which I get really badly. My anxiety gets heightened in pregnancy though which is tough but at least I know the cause so I can sort of rationalise it.
