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!

She’s here :( Time to commiserate with a bottle of cava on fizz Friday, every cloud!

[quote Holly3]@dani9031 Yes definitely! I have a crazy busy December of birthdays including mine so not sure if I'll skip next month but then don't want to waste my chances either. I'm good thanks I'm 6DPO ish, going to try and not test at all until end of next week but ask me again tomorrow 🤪[/quote]
Hahaha I know how hard it is to try and hold off! Keep us updated when you do test xx

@dietcokeandchill

Ohhh *@dani9031* how annoying! I’m pretty sure I will be exactly the same tomorrow. It’s so hard not to get your hopes up, especially as every month feels so long and the wait lasts forever! X
It really is! I haven't even had a TWW this time round, more of a 12 day wait 😂😩 really hope AF stays away for you xx

Pretty sure I'm out this month. Woke up this morning and sorry for tmi but pink tinge on the loo roll when I wiped so it looks like AF is making an appearance two days early. I have cramps too which started yesterday and stupidly thought it could mean something else but I guess not. Just waiting now for AF to kick in fully 😩 good luck to everyone else testing xx

I’m CD29 today and I think 13 or 14 DPO. Not sure how long my cycles are as not been off the pill long enough. Had convinced myself I was out yesterday after a BFN on supermarket sticks and a CB digital early detection. No AF yet this morning though feel like it’s imminent.
Now I’ve got hope creeping back in because I ovulated slightly later in cycle and haven’t used FMU on any test yet. Why do we do this to ourselves? I know the chances are tiny and had dealt with the disappointment this month and now I let myself get excited again. Know AF will turn up and then I’ll be disappointed all over again. I hate how hard we make this on ourselves!
And I know I’m being ridiculous as not even been trying very long at all and already have 2 amazing children, now feeling very silly!

dietcokeandchill · 10/03/2022 20:10

Good luck to everyone hoping for positives!
I am 13dpo and haven’t tested yet. Too nervous to.
Have had some cramping and some spotting 10dpo that I thought was AF and then stopped. So who knows!

martinamkm · 10/03/2022 13:31

@Pheepa

How are you *@martinamkm*, did AF show up? Reckon mine will now be any minute now I’ve splurged on the CB digital!
Hi @pheepa I'm ok thank - still no sign of AF, due today 👀 I'm usually pretty regular give or take a day or so the odd month but not testing for a few days (if I can hold out!) I am in surprisingly ok form for now, don't need any BFPs to derail that! Haha it's like it waits for the expensive test then... here's hoping for us both and anyone else in a similar position 🤞🏼 🍀

Pheepa · 10/03/2022 12:40

Bought a CB early digital and it’s BFN at what I think is prob 13DPO, 12 at the latest. So I reckon I’m definitely out this month. Good luck to the rest of you

Holly3 · 09/03/2022 21:36

@dani9031 Yes I'm glad it's busy and a manic weekend ahead too so I'm going to resist testing as best I can! It's bloody hard isn't it. I have FRER and early clearblue from last month so I'm going to get my partner to hide them I think 🤣 xx

[quote Holly3]@dani9031 I'm doing okay thank you we have quite a lot going on so it's kept my mind busier than normal. I think I'm 4DPO today, oh how frustrating have you contacted CB as they may be able to send replacement? X[/quote]
Aw I'm glad you've kept busy to keep your mind occupied!

Ah I hadn't even thought of doing that to be honest. I'm trying not to let it get to me too much and just see how I feel over the next few days in the lead up to AF being due xx

@Pheepa

Still negative tonight on a supermarket one. Think I’m 11 or 12 DPO so know it’s still early but just feel out :(
Try not to lose hope. Maybe test again the day before AF is due. Sending you lots of hope xx

@pheepa - it's so tough waiting/testing. Suppose you're not out till you're out though 🤞🏼 I think I'm 13 dpo and AF due tomo. Tested this morning on FREER and absolutely no hint of a line. Kinda dreading AF arriving but also if it's gonna come I hope it just shows up soon! Here's hoping for better luck all round tomo 🍀

Pheepa · 09/03/2022 08:27

Think I’ll test tonight and if it’s negative I think I’m out. Know would be better in the morning but don’t want to test and then everyone run out to work (whichever way it goes).
So annoying you got an error code @dani9031, just typical!

@Pheepa

Feeling very like I do when AF is on the way this morning so definitely not confident for this month. Do you have some CM though with no pink like there was last month before AF arrived early but think I’m potentially kidding myself that’s a sign
I'm feeling the same this morning and did my last CB digital this morning which came up with an error code 😩 so I've ordered more tests but unsure whether to just wait to see if AF arrives on Sunday now xx
