Anyone wanna tww with me ttc baby 3, 4dpo

[justmumming]

Hey wondering if anyone else is ttc and in this awful tww. Im 4dpo atm and am hoping for baby 3 to complete our lovley family. It took me a while to decide if this was the right decision. I know I love having babys and being a mum, but was just nervous with two others (4yrs and two yrs).But now im convinced I want it, Ive gone back to being a crazy lady in the tww . The only positive is im extremely nauseous. Ive only ever been nauseous pregnant and it always comes days after ovulation and sex. and Never ends till the babys born. It feels familiar but now once again im nervous! Hope you are all well! Hope theres someone to go through this with me! x

Hi JustMumming! Hope you're doing well despite the nausea! we've been ttc #2 for 8months now. Our DS is 14mo. My period has been regular for the past 4 cycle but have only stop breastfeeding last week - so hope that will kick my fertility back! I know 8months ttc is nothing but I already feel hopeless that maybe it's won't ever happen... Anyway! I'm now CD11 so not yet TWW.

Fingers crossed this is our lucky cycle!
Xx

Oh! Forgot to mention I've been feeling very bloated. Don't know if that's ovulation related? But hope it's a good sign!

Hi both! I'm also TTC, baby number #3 after a very big gap! I have 2 sons, 13 and 11. Been feeling very broody lately and it would be nice to plan it this time around, as last 2 pregnancies weren't planned. I'm much more settled, in my own home and have great support network. Husband to be is settled and happy in his job. Feel like it's now or never. After a long chat and delaying trying till this month we've gone for it. I'm also 4DPO and the wait is killing me. Symptom spotting already and the days are dragging. The 2WW is excruciating fingers crossed for everyone!!

ah I feel glad it not just me in this all! I had
somethhing similar with my second I
was trying for 6 months no luck and I gave up and ate a bit more gained some weight and then fell pregnant! I think theres so much more
to it all than having sex on ovulation ! like our bodys are working on alot more than we realise! I just think its amazing as women that when we decide we need a baby then thats it! its all consuming! no wonder the world has stayed populated! no matter the hard times we have with kids were still desperate! I dont really feel sick today which is a bad sign really! but we will see. Ive been so obsessed with ttc the last threw months ithink if i get AF i will take a break for the months over xmas n have some drinks n have fun n go back to it in jan!

It's so easy to get consumed by it all, it can take over for sure! I've been reading so much around conceiving, using apps and OPK to track! If it doesn't happen this month I'm going to try to be more laid back about it and just let it happen next month. Feels to clinical at moment my AF is due 19th so will try to hold out to test! I do feel gassy, and more tired but could be any number of reasons! I'm reading into every symptom @mrssendy I've read breast feeding can decrease chances of conceiving so fingers crossed this next cycle is the one...try not to feel helpless, sending positive thoughts to you!!

Ceri87 thank you so much for your kind words! Relax they say and it'll happen. But it just so hard to relax isn't it?? Haha! I agree with you it's not easy to not symptoms spotting! FX and good luck hope af won't show her face on the 19th for you! Xx

Justmumming I really like the fact that you ate a bit more and fell pregnant! Might have to try to eat more - or just an excuse really.. haha! Anyway! Good luck to you and I totally agree with just relax during the holiday and have loads of ! ;) then get busy after new year! xx

@Mrssendy haha any excuse to eat and Im there I think I was stressed trying to stay slim and get pregnant and my body was like just choose one hun! I was like well daym i choose cake then

Hi hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread I'm ttc #2 for 2 years now. I've recently just had a laparoscopy to treat endometriosis. I'm currently on my period so will start ttc again as I gave up for a while. I'm quite nervous about trying again.

Hi, can I jump on too. I am TTC child number 1. Had a missed miscarriage in July and have been TTC again the past couple of months. My periods after miscarriage have been normal EXCEPT last cycle when my period was 10 days late. Exceptionally cruel when TTC. This cycle I used OPK to give me a ball park figure of ovulation. OPK, EWCM and libido would suggest I ovulated on CD17 and that would make 4dpo today. And no matter how hard I want to not symptom spot and relax it’s impossible!

@HE88 sometimes taking a break helps, but I can imagine after trying for so long it's nerve wracking to begin the journey again! Maybe after having the laparoscopy things maybe easier this time around. Fingers crossed for you!! Sorry to hear that @York28 and being 10 days late and getting a BFN must have been awful I'm 5-6 DPO and I'm symptom spotting like crazy! It's going to be a long week. My back is aching, boobs are sore and super tired. But I get like this week most cycles a week before AF...so not sure why I'm reading in to it differently ...

@justmumming Maybe we should eat lots of cake during the TWW! haha!

@HE88 I hope after the Laparoscopy things will get easier.
Good luck and hope you will get the lovely BFP soon hun!

@York28 I'm very sorry for your MMC :( I had funny cycle in the first 6 months after MC as well, guess it's just our body trying to go back to normal. But it is definitely not fun having ridiculous cycles when we're TTC. Wishing you good luck and sending lots of baby dust hun!

@Ceri87 Hope those are good signs! Good luck hun!

@Ceri87 symptom spotting is the worst! I am just gonna allow myself the thoughts and not beat myself up for having them, but try not to obsess... saying that my breasts feel fuller, not sore per say just heavy.

@justmumming do you think crumble would work as well as cake... as that is what I have just put in the oven 😂

@HE88 sorry to hear you are nervous, wishing you good luck TTC

@Mrssendy sorry to here about your MC hun. Baby dust to you to. Actually baby dust to all!

@York28 Thanks lovely! And could I please have the crumble? haha! x

guys the hormones have well and truly got to me im a bit crazy. I ordered loads of first response tests on amazon to arrive tomorrow (two pack for £5! bargain) So i can entertain myself all week !

@justmumming stop giving me ideas!! I'm looking on amazon as we speak might add some to my basket! I just want to know now. Can't remember ever being so impatient...but then again my 2 others were surprises!

I'm really fancying cake now guys!!! x

@Ceri87 tell me about it all i can think of is chocolaaaaaate

I am desperately trying to hold off buying tests. I have one at home, regular not early, I may test a couple of days early but if I buy them now the temptation to test from 8/9 dpo will be so so high and while it’s possible to get a positive test then I know it’s better for my mind and bank balance to try and wait.

@justmumming I'll jump on as trying for number 3 as well. First is 9, second is twenty months, both girls. We really want a third to complete our family so this is our first month after a miscarriage last month.

Testing around early December, I'm going to leave it a good week or even two until my af is due to test (if I can physically control myself!)

@justmumming uh oh I might have to check Amazon! I'm not even ov yet and I'm already crazily symptomps spotting! 🤦🏻‍♀️ what is it with women hormones and craziness?! Haha!

Hi @champoopapi good luck and hope this is our lucky cycle!!! FX

Hi I'd like to jump in too as I'm also trying for the third. I had been thinking about for about a year and finally decided to start trying in August. My first two are 4 and 6. They were both conceived so easily, first try each time. I thought it would happen straight away again. I wish I would have just started last year when I felt the time was right. I'm becoming obsessed now! I'm 36 and now worried I left it to too long. I tested several times like a maniac before AF the second and third month, but last month I just waited for her to show and she sure did! I think that's what I'll be doing from now on as getting too many BFN brings me down. I had a strong positive opk yesterday with cramps, it was negative today so I guess I have now ovulated. My husband came home drunk tonight after watching the football, very frustrating as I was hoping to DTT tonight 😞

@Lilice I left a big gap and I caught very easily on my first 2! It's my second month trying so still early days but I'm 32 and I'm wondering if it'll be as easy this time around...think I took it for granted that it would be easy. I did read that your fertility window is the 4-5 days before ovulation too as that's how long sperm can stick around. If you DTD in the days before there could still be a chance this month?

@Ceri87 @Mrssendy @York28 thanks for your kind words hopefully some baby dust comes my way and your way too xx

@Lilice Hi 👋 it’s still early days of you have been trying since August. And as @Ceri87 says you could be in with a chance still depending when you dtd prior to ovulation. Good luck.

Ok ladies, I am trying not to symptom spot. But I got my weekly email from Fitbit last night and it told me my resting heart rate was up to 58 today it is now 59 today. I am normally 52/53. I have gone back through all my data and the last time it tracked up like this was in May when I got my bfp (got bfp on 1st, think I ovulated around 18/19 April). Sadly that ended in missed miscarriage (But interesting think I can see when it failed (22nd may, massive heart rate drop). I have attached pictures of end of April/start may, and also of this month of it tracking up, I think the peak on 4th/5th was ovulation as it coincides with OPK. I have gone though all other months in between and can usually see ovulation peak but heart rate has dropped back afterwards. Sorry for the long post, am I crazy? Reading too much into it?
