Anyone else trying for DC3?!

[LittleTipple]

Can't quite believe I've just written that title...after a lot of indecision DH and I have decided to see where fate takes us. So we're not obsessively trying, but I know generally when I ovulate so we'll DTD around that time. Tbh we're still not 100% convinced we'd cope with three, but sometimes you have to take a leap of faith.

I've been thinking about it constantly and our ages mean it's now or never. We adore our 2 DC's and if that's what we're meant to have we'll be very happy, but if fate has other ideas, we're up for the challenge!

About to start AF and then off we go

@LatteLover12 @LittleTipple Thank you for your responses ladies. I think I'm typing messages too quickly, because it keeps changing words that I type and making me sound like I can't form sentences properly! 😆 So please excuse any spelling mistakes/grammar issues! Today, the cramping has really tailed off and I didn't have insomnia last night either, which was a relief. I still feel a bit tender around my ovary area and my boobs (well one of them!) feels a bit tender too. They felt really full yesterday, but today they feel empty! 🙈 I usually get that when I'm due AF, so maybe this whole pain episode has just been a cyst bursting this month and AF will arrive soon. It's frustrating because I don't know my dates properly this month. I started spotting and having brown blood (sorry - bit gross) on Saturday 4th, but I don't think any actual 'flow' until the Monday 6th. So I'm unsure which was my day , which therefore massively affects AF due date etc. Anyway, sorry I'm blabbering on and this is going to be another really long message. My husband said that it could be a UTI too- it doesn't hurt when I actually wee- it's just that the cramps were getting worse when I needed to wee, from the pressure of my bladder. We did DTD a lot more often this month than we normally would 🙈 So a UTI is a possibility. I think I'm going to give it until Thursday and if AF hasn't arrived, tests are still negative and I'm still getting pain, I will call the doctors x

Cd 27.. bfn. To be fair I may not have even ovulated yet, have a friend visiting tonight so at least I can have guilt free wine

Hello, may I please join?

I’m on Cycle 1 and if it doesn’t happen now then we’ll pause and restart in the new year.
DS is nearly 4, DD is 2 next month.
I’m on CD11 and my last cycle was 29days long. I’m going to start with OPKs today.

@thatshabbychick sounds like a good plan. I'd go with the 6th as first day of cycle, as it's first day of red flow. This was also my CD1, but then I ovulated a week late, so my AF will be a week behind you. Although I've got a giant spot and feel a bit crappy, so wondering if I'm going to come on end of this week, as I would have on a normal cycle? It's a waiting game!

@Wingingit3211 hooray for the wine - enjoy the drink and catch up with your friend 😊

Hey @Bubblemumma1 welcome! Ooh yes, fertile time imminent. Fingers crossed for a quick success.

I'm going to take a break from checking in. No sooner do I decide to ttc do I find myself with somewhat of a marriage crisis :(

Good luck to everyone

Really sorry to hear that @sambababy

Always happy to listen if you want to talk about it. The ladies over on the relationship board are also super helpful.

Hope you’re okay xx

Thanks @LatteLover12 I'm just glad it has happened now and not later as this will be my fertile week and it's clearly not the best time to be getting pregnant.

So I'm now either 10 or 11DPO I think. Am now on amoxicillin for a suspected UTI (sample sent to hospital today for confirmation). It's now really hard to tell if any of my symptoms are from an infection or a possible pregnancy😩 I've had cramping, twinges, pulling feeling down below, weeing more often, slightly tender boobs, weird dreams, way more tired in the evening than I usually am....YET I've done 4 FRER's and a few internet cheapies already, a few with FMU, some not....they are all BFN! Yesterday and today (sorry for being gross), def increased CM, but I think I sometimes get that when I'm due AF too🙄. I'm sure that I'd have a BFP on an early test by now, so I think AF is arriving shortly and all of my 'symptoms' have been from a UTI! I'm already feeling disappointed and frustrated, because conceiving this month would have been lovely timing and I just naively thought that it could happen quickly for us. Hope everyone else is getting on well and sending you lots of luck if you're testing in the next few days xx

@sambababy so sorry to hear that. Sending positive vibes to get through this and maybe find a path back to TTC in the future x

@sambababy So sorry, I'm blabbering on about myself again and hadn't read your comment below. Sending lots of healing to you and I hope you can feel positive about TTC as soon as you feel that you can x

Hi Ladies. I got my BFP at lunchtime today (after a negative on a cheapy this morning!), so I won't be hanging around these forums anyway. But wanted to wish you all the very best of luck. I was SO impatient and I had convinced myself that I was definitely out this month, then all of a sudden a random chance test on a FRER this month and it's a positive! So please don't lose hope, because I'm proof that it definitely isn't over until AF arrives! I think I'm 12-13DPO today and I have had BFN morning and night every day up until today! Sending you all good fertility vibes xXx

Sorry auto correct made mistakes on my last message! It was meant to say I won't be on these forums ANYMORE and that it was a random test this LUNCHTIME 🙈

@thatshabbychick That's amazing news, congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Brilliant news @thatshabbychick congratulations!

Congratulations @thatshabbychick 😃

How’s everyone else getting on?

My pill break bleed has come to an end so I’m now on ovulation watch...🧐
I’m expecting this to be a six week (ish) cycle but who knows?! My partner is working away for the next two weeks so the law of sod says I’ll ov when he’s away! 😂

Congratulations @thatshabbychick !

@LatteLover12 sounds like I'm in a similar position to you, I've just finished my withdrawal bleed after stopping the pill. No idea when I'm going to ovulate! DH has a stinking cold this morning so won't be going near him for a while anyway 😂

Ooh @RandomUsernameHere pleased we’re at the same point, hopefully we’ll both ov soon & we can crack on.

I’m optimistically hoping to be pg by Christmas (which is ridiculous because it took me a year to conceive my 1st) so fingers crossed!

Using this cycle to temperature chart & check when ov happens.

Evening ladies, we are trying for number 3! I have short cycles and wonder if this down to the mirena coil I had? I'm cd4 on cycle 2 and have just started charting my temperature.

Hello to all the new ladies!
Congratulations on those with BFP and hugs to those leaving the thread.
Just wanted to pop back and say Hi and thinking of you all! I miss being a regular on this thread but have now taken residence on an ante natal one eeek!
I’ve got my first midwife app on Wednesday so that’s exciting!
My DD fell off her trampoline last night and has broken her arm managing that, tiredness and Nausea had had me on the edge but hey ho, these things are sent to try us!

Wishing you all baby dust and I’ll check back soon

Cd30 no idea when my period will come. You’ll hear this every month but PCOS you are a bitch. Reminds self it’ll happen!

@RandomUsernameHere we didn't let a cold get in our way DH was full of one on my fertile week, so a couple of times I told him no kissing, just get on with it! We had a bit of a giggle and it was horrible not kissing, but we got the job done! I'm 8DPO so still don't know if it worked....

@UntilTheVeryEnd lovely to hear from you. How exciting to have your first midwife appointment. What a nightmare having to deal with your DC - getting you prepared for life with three!

Haha @LittleTipple that's a good point about not kissing!

@UntilTheVeryEnd sorry to hear about your DD's arm, it's so so horrible when they hurt themselves. DS broke his earlier this year and it healed so quickly and he was back to normal in no time, hopefully your DD will be the same.

@LatteLover12 it would be so lovely to be pg by Christmas! Fingers crossed for everyone x

Hi. Just found this thread.

Me and DH are TTC #3 since February.

We had a chemical pregnancy last month so I'm trying so hard to not test till after my missed period.

Bit fed up with it now. AF due on the 5th but I was away with work on my most fertile days so we've pretty much written this month off.

Hi @Taylor22 I know what you mean about holding out to test. I'm planning the same but it's not easy to wait!
