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!

@dani9031 Yes I’m going to try and hold out until Thursday at the earliest, fingers crossed for us both!

@Pheepa

I was negative just on a normal supermarket one last night at 9dpo. Know that was too early really but I’m really not feeling positive for this month now. Not got any symptoms at all. Good luck to anyone else testing over next few days
Try not to lose heart (I say at 10DPO and feeling exactly the same as you). Maybe wait another few days before testing again xx

@Holly3

Any change in tests *@dani9031* Yes my friend had better results with CB ones! What day do you start counting DPO? As only going by my peak on the strips using easy at home app xx
I did a FRER yesterday morning with FMU and it was still negative, that was 9DPO. I'm 10 DPO but haven't taken anymore tests. I have a CB digital I'm going to take on Friday I think as AF is due on Sunday. I count the day after ovulation as 1DPO. Is that right?

@FourOclock

You're not out yet *@dani9031*! I took my FRER two days before period was due and it was fairly faint to be fair
I'm hoping I'm not out! I've never had good experiences with FRERs, clearblues have always personally been more reliable for me for some reason xx

BFN on a FRER. I'm really hoping it's because it's too early as my period isn't due for a week and I'm currently only 8DPO. God knows what's going on. Suppose will just have to wait and see.

I'm okay! Feel nauseous first thing or when I'm hungry and a little less patient with the kids than normal 😅 but fine other than that so far

@Holly3 I've got some frers coming today so we'll see what they say!
@dietcokeandchill I've got some first response coming from Amazon today so will see if that show up anything.
@Pheepa good luck for when you test, it's such an anxious wait!

I've had some cramping yesterday and feeling a bit nauseous so wondering if that's a sign too but trying not to overthink it xx

dietcokeandchill · 06/03/2022 07:43

@dani9031i think I can! Keep testing to see if it gets darker!

@Pheepa same timings as me… going to try to hold out too!

Holly3 · 06/03/2022 07:42

@dani9031 I can see something!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 have you got FRER?

I am using easy at home ovulation strips with the app and I hit my peak yesterday and still high today so DTD last night and will do tonight so 🤞🏼 xxx

Pheepa · 06/03/2022 07:29

@dani9031 I think I can!
I think I ovulated last Fri/Sat and absolutely desperate to test but holding out. Reckon I might make it to weds

I got this today at 7DPO and thought I could se a vvvfl. It came up within the time frame. Can anyone else see it or have I gone mad with impatience and making up lines now? 😂🤦‍♀️

Huge congrats @FourOclock

Welcome @martinamkm great to have you on board! Sorry don't know what CP means?

We might have managed to DTD once around ovulation this month. One of my best friends has just announced her second pregnancy. Her first is only a few weeks younger than my second and we had all these lovely plans to see each other regularly during her mat leave and then we went into lockdown a few weeks after they were born. So part of me feels if I have another now we could have that time together that we didn't get last time. But also know that's not a good enough reason to have another baby

Holly3 · 05/03/2022 11:14

Huge congratulations @FourOclock!!

I'm okay @dani9031 Thanks ☺️ trying not to even think about it and just see what happens but can't help it. My boobs are agony today and have lots of CM xx

@Holly3 I'm feeling okay at the moment, 6DPO today and due on my period a week on Sunday so gonna wait to test then. I did a test yesterday god knows why, just sheer impatience but nothing I don't think.
I've got some back pain today and CM too but trying not to read too much into it. How are you?

Welcome to everyone else, keeping everything crossed we all get our BFPs soon and huge congratulations to @FourOclock 😊 xx

Pheepa · 04/03/2022 17:26

Think I’m 6DPO and not really any symptoms yet. Though I thought I had loads last cycle and didn’t get pregnant so not reading much into that! Feel a lot more chilled about it this cycle, it was definitely all consuming last month so glad I’m feeling not as stressed this month

FourOclock · 04/03/2022 15:52

[quote dietcokeandchill]@FourOclock oh congratulations!!!! Great news!!!
Any pre BFP symptoms to share??[/quote]
I had discharge that I wouldn't normally get after ovulation, and was also soooo so irritable a lot sooner than I normally would be with PMT. I had some dull aches/minor period type pains around a week before AF due, again would normally get these later. I also normally get spotting 3-4 days before my period comes and didn't have that. Nausea too on and off this week but not sure if that's just been nerves

martinamkm · 04/03/2022 15:02

Hi! Long time lurker first time poster, hope it's okay to join. We are TTC no 3, 3rd cycle. Had CP last month and AF due next Weds. just had smear test and nurse said she could see blood in my cervix so feeling v deflated (although holding out hope it's implantation bleed?!) CP is v confusing - not sure if bleed is considered period or not? Congrats on those BFPs! 🎉

Mummyme87 · 04/03/2022 14:55

Congratulations @FourOclock

My AF came today, always a bit of a relief alongside some obvious disappointment. My cycle was only 24days this month with earlier ovulation. Not sure why
