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

I'm officially now in the TWW at 1DPO. We've been to the Lake District and didn't get to DTD as often as we would've liked but hopefully done it enough to be successful 🤞 I haven't read through the entire thread, it's gone through the roof since I was last on but sending lots of love and hope to everyone xx
Ah exciting! How are you feeling? X
satelliteheart · 28/02/2022 09:20

We're really struggling to dtd this month. Kids aren't sleeping well, 3yo has started having nightmares, so we're too knackered most evenings. I think if we don't get lucky this month we'll skip next month to avoid another December baby

dietcokeandchill · 27/02/2022 13:26

Ov’d on Friday but only managed 1 bd on Wednesday so probably not my month. Sending love to all in TWW. Trying not to symptom spot!

Still getting EWCM too so thinking I may not have ovulated just yet

Pheepa · 26/02/2022 17:33

CD16 here, got peak on CB OPK yesterday lunchtime so booked an extra room at the premier inn we were in and told the kids we were having a drink in the bar for half an hour! (They are 9 and 12 so fine to be left with phones and TV for a bit!)
Home now so think we'd best give it another try tonight too!
Does anyone temp and know how long after positive OPK you usually ovulate? Last cycle I got strong one sided pain the day after peak on CB but this cycle is more general cramping and has been going on a few days so not sure how long it might be?

Hello, cycle day 14 here. I first posted saying DH and I struggle to find time to dtd lol.

This weekend is the start of my 'fertile window' so have said to DH we've got to do it every other day for the next week or so, and have suggested more morning bonks as it's so easy to pass if you're feeling a bit knackered on an evening. Here's hoping it's our month 🤞

@ThatsNotMyMuffin I can't see anything but you never know. I think with DC1 I didn't get a positive until 17dpo

Mummyme87 · 25/02/2022 21:20

@ThatsNotMyMuffin there’s not an obvious line but I feel there might be a shadow of something. Don’t rule yourself out

ThatsNotMyMuffin · 25/02/2022 20:35

I haven't taken a good photo as was in the rush getting out! It looks a bit better in real life but I'm still not convinced there's anything there...

@ThatsNotMyMuffin give us a picture!! Negative or not I like a good squint

ThatsNotMyMuffin · 25/02/2022 18:58

Cd30 damn autocorrect

ThatsNotMyMuffin · 25/02/2022 18:58

I'm cdep today and no sign of AF plus a few funny symptoms so I thought I'd do a test but I think it's a negative. I've been staring at it too much 😆 I think a positive would show up stronger now so trying to remind myself of that ☹️

FourOclock · 24/02/2022 13:18

I might be tempted to test a week today 😬 not sure though, I might wait until AF is due. I normally get spotting a good 3/4 days before AF on and off so I'll probably have a hint either way in about a week 🤞🏼

allthingssparkly · 24/02/2022 12:23

I think I'm ovulating anytime/have just ovulated 🙈 so I've now got to endure the TWW, NIGHTMARE! Hopefully it brings bfps to some of us! ⭐🤞⭐🤞

FourOclock · 24/02/2022 12:02

I am clueless when it comes to OPKs sorry sparkly!

Why is the TWW so long?! I really thought it would fly past without much thought by the third child, but no, it's dragging 🙈

Heyy all!

I tested twice this morning with OPK's from Home Bargains, one at 8am and one at 9.45am and they both have really strong lines! 🤔

I did OPK testing with the easy at home ones from CD7 to CD15 then I ran out so I didn't bother re ordering but from the easy at home ones it appeared I got my strongest line on CD11 so if I ovulated the day after on CD12, and I'm CD21 today that makes me 9DPO.

However I'm just so lost as to why I've got pretty strong OPK tests 8 days before my period 😬 Me andy partner have dtd today too, just Incase! 🙈

Good luck everyone already in your 2ww this month. I'm on CD13, DTD this morning and just got the first flashy smiley of the cycle on CB OPK this eve. Only prob is we are in a premier inn family room with our 9 and 12 year old until saturday! Argh! Does anyone else use CB OPK? How long after your first flashy smiley do you usually ovulate? Last cycle was our first using them and I first got flashy morning of CD9 and think I ovulated CD13. Not sure it will be that long between this time with it being later on in the cycle. Will test again in the morning and might need to book a 2nd room!

FourOclock · 23/02/2022 09:37

We're at similar points @Mummyme87, I'm about 4dpo. I also have tender boobs. But I don't think this is our month, I'm starting to feel tired and irritable as standard for the week before AF and with my other pregnancies I had no symptoms at all in the TWW. No pregnancy ones but also no PMS ones. But we'll see.

Mummyme87 · 23/02/2022 09:07

I dreamt I had a BFP last night. It’s all consuming!!!
3-5dpo today, feeling quite achey in lower back and pelvis. I have one tender boob also which I’ve had for two days, but I get that in TWW anyway

satelliteheart · 23/02/2022 07:57

Congrats @HellsBellsK hope it all continues to go smoothly for you

@Waddlegoose sorry to hear how much you're suffering, hope the meds kick in quickly for you

I've had some random pink spotting the last two days, only finished AF a week ago, so no idea what that's about. It's not something I've had before

Dh had a little wobble about number 3 again last night. We're both just struggling so much to work out what's for the best
