Trying for baby number 3

Me and my husband have just started trying for our 3rd baby this month. Probably being a little bit over enthusiastic but just wanted to create a thread for anyone else in the same boat and hoping for a BFP in the next 4-6 weeks 😃

Would be lovely to hear from people hoping for the same outcome very soon!

Ooh I think I might see them @Holly3

i had squinters on these cheap tests and went out for a more sensitive one, ended up with the CB triple check which had a blue dye one with 10mui sensitivity and it showed up straight away, fingers crossed for you!
I think I’m 26DPO or 5 weeks + 5 days. Nausea has been kicking in a bit more since yesterday. Have an early scan a week today and am v nervous!

How's everyone getting on? My period is due around Tuesday/Wednesday going by my apps but it's all been abit over the place since I had covid.

We DTD multiple times during peak fertility through temping - had two faint lines just now on test strips does anyone see what I see? In real life the lines are pink and came up within time frame xx

Thanks @MummyMe87
Hope you’re little ones are feeling better and you have a successful BD week!

All still ok here. Think I’m now 17DPO, lines on tests getting progressively darker and starting to feel a few sicky/belly symptoms and tired too so all looks good. I’ve booked an early scan for 20th May. Still finding it hard not to worry though, I’ve never had a miscarriage or chemical and conceived 1st month, 3rd month and now 4th month so feeling like my luck is due to run out. It’s silly I know but at 38 and 10 years since my last pregnancy it’s hard not to panic

Mummyme87 · 04/05/2022 10:43

That’s a great milestone @Pheepa

I’m CD11 today so in FW, doing OPKs and trying to temp, although couldn’t do BBT this morning as was up all night with a vomiting child.
had my FSH and LH done on CD4 and they appear normal which is great, will do progesterone at 7 and 8dpo

Pheepa · 02/05/2022 15:40

Thank you @ThatsNotMyMuffin
period was due yesterday so pleased to have got past that milestone. Line progression looking ok too. Still a long way to go for a 38 year old though! Think I’ll book in for a private 6 week scan for some reassurance

ThatsNotMyMuffin · 02/05/2022 15:38

Congrats @Pheepa !

Nothing happening here I'm afraid, I'm trying not to count months we've been TTC and just focusing on being healthy, fit and having sex 😁 It's not easy though!! Feeling sad we won't be having a 2023 baby.

allthingssparkly · 28/04/2022 10:38

I'm currently 9dpo, thinking of testing this weekend. AF due 2nd/3rd May!

The days seem to be slowing down now I'm coming to the end of my tww 😩

Congratulations to those who have got their BFP and gold luck to those testing in the coming days 🤞

FourOclock · 28/04/2022 09:05

Congratulations @Pheepa and @dietcokeandchill 😊

dietcokeandchill · 28/04/2022 07:43

19dpo today - had some brown spotting at 14dpo and assumed period was on way but then it didn’t start, so took a test at 16dpo.

now seem to have thrush for the first time in my life though 😩

hope everyone doing okay xx

Pheepa · 28/04/2022 06:51

Amazing news @dietcokeandchill
how many DPO are you now?

dietcokeandchill · 28/04/2022 06:19

Congratulations @Pheepa!!!! great line.

I got a BFP a few days ago too. Just nervous now!

Pheepa · 27/04/2022 22:42

Thank you! Totally shell shocked! Trying not to get too excited, know 10DPO is very early, especially at age 38! Everything crossed for a sticky bean!

Mummyme87 · 27/04/2022 22:32

That’s a super clear line @Pheepa congratulations!!!!!

Pheepa · 27/04/2022 21:52

This just happened at 10DPO! OMG!

We decided on a more relaxed month so not been OPK testing. Though I’m now annoyed I don’t know when I ovulated! We have DTD on CD9, 11, 13 but had to miss 14 and 15. Was feeling really positive for this cycle but now less so in case I ovulated late on 14 or 15. Will try again tonight which will be CD16 but think that might be too late. Been having one sided twinges from CD11 and EWCM from CD12 but think it’s gone cloudy now, though is still stretchy. Just really wish we had been able to DTD on CD14!

Hoping43 · 18/04/2022 21:54

Hi. On cycle 13 now for us. Had all fertility tests completed last week including HSG and everything is normal. Don’t even know if I’m pleased about this or not as no solutions at the moment! Xx

Mummyme87 · 17/04/2022 18:54

Wel I’m 6DPO on cycle 6 but I haven’t ‘tried’ as such this cycle as didn’t want a baby end of dec/early Jan. Did have sex once in FW, but feeling confident it hasn’t happened as boobs feel bruised which is standard for me.

Back on it next cycle. AF will be due Sunday next week I think

Holly3 · 17/04/2022 18:40

How's everyone doing? X

Pheepa · 04/04/2022 21:27

Thanks, I’m planning on being a bit more relaxed next month if AF does arrive. Whether I’ll manage it is another thing. Thinking I won’t use OPK since its usually around CD13 and I usually get strong ovulation pain so thinking the OPKs might just be adding an extra aspect of stress and making everything a bit mechanical. Aiming to DTD every other day from CD8/9, will see how we get on!

Mummyme87 · 04/04/2022 21:17

Fingers crossed AF stays away @Pheepa

I’m CD4, not going to actively TTC this cycle, will track but not focus on FW. Will start again next cycle which will be at the end of the month

Pheepa · 04/04/2022 20:57

How’s everyone getting on? I’m 11DPO and had tiny amounts of spotting since yesterday evening. Obsessively going to the loo to check what’s going on, they must have thought I was mad at work!
Never had spotting that didn’t turn into AF within 12 hours before, it’s now over 24, but trying not to let myself think it could be implantation related! Will see what tomorrow morning brings. It’s nothing more than a smudge when I wipe at the mo but sure AF will follow soon

ThatsNotMyMuffin · 28/03/2022 15:19

Congratulations @satelliteheart, hope you are feeling ok ❤️

ThatsNotMyMuffin · 28/03/2022 15:19

Nothing here, AF due tomorrow so I did a test but negative. We only managed a couple of times and just before the fertile window I think and then we got COVID - what timing! Hopefully next month Sad

Pheepa · 28/03/2022 09:50

Congratulations @satelliteheart

satelliteheart · 28/03/2022 09:00

@Mummyme87 yes that's my thought too that I'd rather tell people in case anything goes wrong so I have that support but dh always prefers to wait till 12 weeks.

Good point about sickness etc and they might need an explanation. I've started to feel a bit nauseous this morning. I don't suffer too badly with morning sickness but I did vomit half a dozen times with each pregnancy so imagine this one will be the same and don't want the kids to be distressed by that

Hope everyone else is doing well and you all get your bfp soon
