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 Smile

Sorry to hear that @GruffaloPants all the best for the next cycle!

LittleTipple · 20/06/2018 09:31

Morning ladies, I'm overthinking again....Had the most vivid dream last night that my mum told me she knew I was pregnant because she'd been looking at my charting app! The dream then switched and I was trying to flag down a taxi, when a man kept giving me an invite - of course I've googled an invite dream and it could mean a blessing or opportunity is on its way!

One of my main symptoms with both pregnancies was vivid dreams. I actually was thinking I hadn't had any so def couldn't be pregnant. Anyway, sure it is just my mind mulling things over, but it's given me a bit of hope as thought I was def out this month, as I never really pinpointed when I ovulated.

Sorry the witch got you @GruffaloPants xx

@LittleTipple ah exciting! When do you think you are due on?

Anyday88 · 20/06/2018 10:16

Morning everyone!

I haven't really been on much recently, I needed to sort my head out a little after the mc in April. I think I am in a better place now and I am back to work now.
I have just entered my fertile window and planning to dtd everyday as I am not as confident about when I will ovulate since the mc. It remains to be seen whether we manage everyday 😂

Hope everyone else is ok!

LittleTipple · 20/06/2018 15:29

@Megs87 Due on Monday ish, as my cycles can vary by a couple of days. I'm pretty good at waiting until past due day to test, as hate BFNs! Don't think I'll actually be able to get a test until mid week anyway, so potentially have another week to find out...

@Anyday88 Glad to hear you're back in the game. Ha, we've never managed everyday!!

UntilTheVeryEnd · 20/06/2018 15:48

How do you find the energy to do it everyday 😂 my DH, let’s just say, doesn’t have the highest of drives so trying to entice him into the sack is a job in itself!
@LittleTipple gosh I hope you get your BFP and can hold out from testing!
@Anyday88 glad you are feeling in a better head space... hope you have a jolly rompathon... I wish you stamina haha x

Megs87 · 20/06/2018 20:22

Glad you a feeling a lot more positive now :) I'm in awe of you DTD everyday we only just manage every other day and that's fertile period restricted haha!

Using OPKs for the first time this cycle and I had ewcm on Monday so we dtd anyway but had a negative opk, more ewcm yesterday negative opk then today no ewcm but a very much stronger line tonight, don't think it's quite positive but I didn't hold for very long before test. Does this look like ov is likely in the next couple of days? Sorry for the rambling post!

Anyone else trying for DC3?!
NoseringGirl · 20/06/2018 20:27

Mine only ever seem to get that dark. I've never had a "blazing" positive on an OPK. I usually get a temp right a day after mine is like that! Good luck!

Megs87 · 20/06/2018 20:56

Thank you :) fingers crossed for this cycle. Flo has me ov'ing on Friday so hopefully

How are you? Still holding out to test?

NoseringGirl · 20/06/2018 21:19

Tested this morning but can't decide if there was something there or not! AF is due tomorrow which is 11DPO. I got my first positive with DS1 at 11DPO so holding out hope and will test again first thing!

LittleTipple · 20/06/2018 22:09

Good luck @NoseringGirl Smile

Good luck for tomorrow, hoping for a bfp for you xx

NoseringGirl · 21/06/2018 08:24

AF today Sad

Wingingit3211 · 21/06/2018 19:21

Sorry NoseringGirl. Onto next month hey? Maybe have a glass of wine and some chocolate

UntilTheVeryEnd · 21/06/2018 19:34

Sorry to hear AF came @NoseringGirl - onwards and upwards for next cycle! Flowers

Megs87 · 21/06/2018 19:42

Sorry she got you too @NoseringGirl

LittleTipple · 21/06/2018 20:47

Oh I'm sorry to hear that @NoseringGirl. Hope you can treat yourself to something nice this weekend. Onwards and upwards x

Thanks everyone! I had a big glass of wine last night and I'm ready to go for the next cycle! Seeing it as a chance to lose a bit more weight before pregnancy. I gained so much in the newborn days. Everyone else seems to lose weight when breastfeeding, I pile it on because it makes me so hungry!

Megs87 · 22/06/2018 13:36

I was the same @NoseringGirl gained more weight with DS1 than DS2 but in the 7 months we have been trying I have lost just over a stone so I'm back to pre DS1 now. Makes it more bearable trying and failing.

CD12 today and I think I typically ov today or tomorrow. Loads of ewcm again today but negative opk but will try that again tonight. Will DTD anyway if hubby doesn't fall asleep on me again 🙈

Anyday88 · 22/06/2018 15:22

@Megs87 we are very close in cycle as I am on cd13 today and my opk is still at high not peak so 🤷🏼‍♀️

We dtd two days in a row then had a rest last night

🤞🏻 for us all!

Megs87 · 23/06/2018 20:58

Ooo how long are your cycles typically? We are very close. Pretty sure I have now ov'd so fingers crossed for us all x

Anyday88 · 23/06/2018 22:58

@Megs87 they have always been 28 days before the miscarriage but I've had one at 29 and then my last one was 26 so I have no idea at the minute really!
Still no peak on my opk and dh is away from tomorrow night 🤷🏼‍♀️

🤞🏻we have done enough and I have ovd even without the peak if that's even possible!

Megs87 · 24/06/2018 07:15

@Anyday88 we're very similar I have 26 or 27 day cycles.
I don't know much about temping sorry but hopefully you have ov'd already

Wingingit3211 · 25/06/2018 06:04

I wish I had regular cycles! Between 26-40 days here. The 40 days make it a long month

LittleTipple · 25/06/2018 07:49

I'm out ladies. Spotting this morning and AF due today. Did a FRER anyway and a BFN. Gutted tbh because I've had the exact same symptoms of previous pregnancies, so did think there was a chance. My ovulation seems to have cocked up as I had so many days of ewcm which isn't normal for me. I had a big event to organise and was quite stressed, so thinking that may have delayed it. DH was away, so our one BD was never going to work with a late O.

The crazy dreams threw me because they were my biggest symptom with both previous pregnancies. Although at the end of one dream I was shouting 'no,no,no' so should have known really!

I burst into tears at the BFN so at least it shows that despite the fear, I really do want another one. New cycle, new chance. Baby dust everyone xx
