Still trying for third baby - thread 2!

@Miamisun that's exactly how I feel! I do but also things are good! But I know in my
Heart I've wanted a third all along.

I have had some red spots of blood today, following my PT session. I think I'm CD15 and OPK looked nearly positive on CD10? All very early for me, but I had 6 days of
Spotting 3 weeks after my MC and this is only 2 weeks since then. I have to say it's a bit of a brain bender since the MC 😫

Can I join?

I am leaning more towards having a third, panicking about age gaps even though I know it’s not as big as others. My other two are 6.5 and 3.5 so we would be looking at over 7/4 years if we had another.

Had a rough ride with a TMFR after I was super poorly with HG / covid and recommendation was to not continue the pregnancy as they couldn’t guarantee I would survive the pregnancy.

A lot of soul searching / therpy and although I would like to complete my family I’m super scared. I have moments I think about sticking at 2 but there’s a part of me that will always want to complete my family.

Does anyone else over think age gaps and if we really want another baby?

I have used the Premom app and bought the strips from Amazon that go with that app. Was brilliant. they give you a number for your strips and when you get close to 2 then you know it's imminent!

Highly recommend

I know what you mean!!! On hols I was as relaxed as I can be, in an all inclusive, grandparents watching the kiddos, relaxing at the beach, lot's of fun DTD...... and then BFN 🙄😑sad trombone.......

Just today I was thinking the same... if I should stop tracking my BBT so that I don't even think about it....

Congratulations all on the BFPs!

Not much to report here. Sept was BFN despite a ridiculous amount of DTD over the summer holidays (always gutting in the months when you literally couldn't have thrown any more at it). Then my current cycle was completely the opposite- back to school fatigue etc etc set in so we completely missed ovulation. I'm technically now a day late (according to OPK) but I think my body must be playing silly buggers (and/or I must have ov'd a couple of days after the positive OPK) as there's literally no way I could be pregnant- we DTD 7 or 8 days before ovulation and then not again until 3 days ago, so just on AF watch now and looking forward to a new cycle!

I think after a while the HCG becomes too much for the tests to measure so its not a good way to check. There's also nothing one can do if anything happens anyway 😅🙄

I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 sending you a big hug! ♥️

Wow, those are some strong lines 😍 Congratulations!! ❤️ ❤️

Thanks so much girls. After all the struggles and ups and downs every month I'm really praying for a sticky baby.
I am so sorry for the losses and the endless waiting and I'm sending everyone tonnes of baby dust.

Thanks for the tag. Unfortunately I had a very early miscarriage last week so I'm now back to square one.

Still no periods (6 weeks since stopping mini pill) but checking my ovulation with tests and it's showing flashing smileys (on Clearblue). I think this is the last month I will track ovulation as I feel I'm stressing too much.

@SchofeTee congratulations!!! Don't stress yourself with more testing! Lines are very nice, there's a limit above which they stop being reliable.. so just wishing you lots of patience till 6w+ scan ❤️
5dpo here, taking progesterone which intensifies all the symptoms 🤦🏻‍♀️😒

So I have done another test today in the hopes the line will keep getting darker. Is that silly? Or will they fade again if it's not viable?

@SchofeTee @Maybebaby54321 huge congratulations! 🎉❤️

thanks for the tag. 12/13 DPO here and started bleeding lightly so think AF is on her way and I’m out. AF was due in 2 days but this is CD28 so not outside of my norm

Hi Ladies, thanks so much for the tag!!!!

I've been quiet for a while, lots going on with the girls back to school and my parents haven't been well.
But.... I do have some news. Our 5th baby is on the way!!!! I'm about 5 weeks and 3 days ish as I wasn't tracking ovulation.
The only thing I did differently is that I started drinking agnus cactus tea every single day.

Hi all,

Can I join? I'm 37 with a 6 and 5 year old and would love another. I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks in September and my cycle has been strange since.

I may have ovulated earlier this week, if I did I missed it I think. I'm not sure if I had a period following the MC or whether it was just spotting.

I'm finding the not knowing really awful, but also I have two lovely little ones, yet I'd love just one more. Confused much🙈

@SchofeTee wooow! those are some awsome BFP!!! Congratulations!! 🥳🥳

@Ifyouknowyouknowyouknow you're right... I'm quite controlling in my life... There are things that I just don't mind letting go of the need to control, but there are others where I have more of a hard time :x I guess this one will be another one where I must learn to be more like Elsa and "Let it go, let it gooo!" 😅Maybe this is something that this baby is wanting to teach me before coming to me 🤷🏻

Thanks so much ❤️

That you for the tag!

Congratulations @SchofeTee !! Amazing lines 🤩

@TT82 I'm glad your kids all love each other. I guess we can't always control this, right?

I had this naive idea that I'd get pregnant with a 3rd as quickly as I did with my 1st and second... but I forgot that I'm going to be 41 tomorrow so.... I'm not 32 or 37 when I got pregnant with my other 2.... I'm going to keep trying and I have an appointment booked with the GP, so let's see where that gets me.

Hey all! So I mentioned on previous thread about seeing all the cars with BFP on their reg thinking it was a sign.

Well got my BFP last Sunday and the tests are getting darker still.

Take a look! Baby #3 incoming.

Oh nice! A new thread! 😁 I'm here on CD2 recovering from sleep deprivation caused by the 6am flight 🥴

@MrsPepper82 I'm glad your body is doing it naturally ♥️ it's the least bad option... And I'm glad you're also feeling positive ♥️

👋 thx for creating new thread and tagging.

I will be tagging along but decided that only for few months 😅
My rollercoaster did not end there. Family doctor wrote that since all other markers are OK then I must ASAP go to emergency care and check for ectopic pregnancy. I needed to run some errands before that and am happy I was even able to think. They took also blood sample and hcg has dropped from 51 to 37 with 30h and this is a great pace.
So no EP, no needed and my body should be soon ready for a successful comeback 😙

I am laughing already, since this is better option than EP. And I know that there are great swimmers who can do the job 🤗

DH took me to movies and glass of wine.
I did my crying already yesterday. I tried to find strings of hope but based on my symptoms I knew already. Now eagerly waiting for start and heading towards victory ✌️
Let it be last thread for all of us who were already in the first one.
Till it’s again my turn, will wait for your news!
