Trying for baby number 3

Hi mummies

I'm in month two now of ttc my baby number 3, I know it's not been long but I'm nearly 30 and I'm worried that i won't be able to get pregnant again ☹️ did anyone else feel like this? I went through the whole tww last month and this month I'm trying to be a bit more casual about it as I STRESSED last month ridiculously. I hated trying to track ovulation and dpo it was alstreful absolutely expensive with pregnancy tests I got a bit obbsesed! Any support would be lovely

I'm a housewife who currently has my two children already 7 year old girl and 9 year old boy, I am so desperate now for a baby though it's giving me anxiety the thought of not being able to have another xxx

@Springflower3 be rude not to buy some more 🤣 well alot of people use them and get positive before period is due. I just wouldn't believe them until IV confirmed on a dearer test if something shows! Perfect for poasaholics!!!🤦 Xx

Nats7504 · 13/05/2021 20:18

I feel left out. I am like 3 DPO!! You need to POAS for me, Im waaaay off! You only have a few days to go, when do you normally test? Isn’t it from 9 DPO? Xx

Skl2021 · 13/05/2021 20:37

@Nats7504 yes I usually do from about 8/9 but won't be this month so @Springflower3 will have to do enough for us both. 😂🤞🤞 Xx

Springflower3 · 14/05/2021 06:14

🤣🤣🤣 @Skl2021 I know I’m starting really early! I don’t even know why cause I literally feel nothing! No sore boobs.... nothing!
@Nats7504 I might only be 6dpo so your not to far behind me! 😬😬
I’m starting to feel bloated though which is a classic sign of AF for me....
By this day next week we should all know though either way.... nerves are shot to frig 🤣🤣 xx

PositiveVibes89 · 14/05/2021 09:03

@Springflower3 I think I am 6dpo too.
I don't feel anything either :(
I didn't know a week could go this slowly Confused

Springflower3 · 14/05/2021 09:06

@PositiveVibes89 I’m trying to be rational.... realistically the implanting hasn’t even occurred! My extensive googling has enlighten me to the fact that most women don’t implant until 10dpo! So..... even if I go by my opk which would mean I’m 9dpo I shouldn’t be seeing any signs!! 🤣🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 14/05/2021 09:13

@Springflower3 yes gets harder the closer we get. Starts to drag 🤦 are u still taking your temps? Is anything happening on that front? X

Nats7504 · 14/05/2021 09:13

You won’t ‘feel’ pregnant until you’ve implanted and as you said @Springflower3 that wouldn’t have happened yet 😘 You’re both in with a chance. There was a sperm waiting for the egg, that’s all you can do 👍 If you’re both 6 DPO then you only have a few days until you can start testing. I’m due AF next Sunday so I’ve still got another week before I can start POAS! Xx

Springflower3 · 14/05/2021 09:28

@Skl2021 naw the app told me to stop using it for this cycle and it would just cause me anxiety watching it go up and down! So I thought I would leave it!
Is there not some women who do get BFP at 9dpo? Does that mean they just implanted earlier or do you think they ovulated sooner than they thought?
@Nats7504 you have got this! You done all you could! If your anything like me it’s all you think about though? Will you use the preseed next month again if it doesn’t happen this month? Xx

Skl2021 · 14/05/2021 09:34

@Springflower3 but I thought that was the whole idea of temping to confirm ovulation and implantation etc 🤣🤦 why would itt tell you to stop? 🤔 Glad I don't do it!! Yes there's loads that get bfp from like 9 dpo Mumsnet if full of them. I thought I was abnormal because my earliest was 12 dpo 🙈 surely they didn't get ovulation wrong if they used opks? Maybe some people implant early? I thought average was 9/10 days for implantation. Xx

Springflower3 · 14/05/2021 10:22

@Skl2021 I literally have no idea 🤣🤣 do you think I should continue to take my temp then? Fuck knows.... the main think is I’ve 2 trackers basically confirming ovulation.... although 3 days apart 🤣🤣🤣
Your lucky you can remember when you got you BFP! I must flick back on my apps and see 🤣🤣 your 12dpo is coming up soon!! I think I’m more excited for you and @Nats7504 cause I’m pretty certain this isn’t my month!! So guys come on! Show me your BFP!! Xx

Nats7504 · 14/05/2021 10:27

@Springflower3 We used the pre-seed 3 times during our FW and have some left so will use it next cycle if this one doesn’t work. It’s not the nicest thing but handy when you just want a quickie! 🤣 I don’t think I’ve had that much sex since my teenage years. I better not end up with thrush! 🙈 I’ll be testing end of next week before I open the wine!
@Skl2021 Come on lovely, let’s me positive! We’ve all got a chance of our BFP this month. We did all we could 🤷🏻‍♀️ If AF comes then it’s a takeaway and Prosecco weekend 🍷 xx

Springflower3 · 14/05/2021 10:31

@Skl2021 I just checked back there and it looks like I tested around 8dpo and got a negative then on 12dpo I got my positive! That was me on 32 day cycle which would fit better with my temps than the opk! Head fried now xx

Springflower3 · 14/05/2021 10:44

@Nats7504 you may get some cream just in case!! Thrush is the worst! I have a supply of pessaries as i can’t cope with it!!
If it works, I swear I’m buying some! How are you feeling? Xx

Nats7504 · 14/05/2021 11:04

@Springflower3 I’ve never had it but knowing my luck I’ll end up with it 🤣 I’ll send DP to the shops to get it!! I hope it works as it’s sooo unsexy to use. The syringe is like a calpol one 🙈 It has good reviews but still have no idea how it’s meant to help 🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel fine to be fair, only 4DPO so nothing to symptom spot I guess. I’ll be in full swing next week though so get ready!! You feeling ok? It’s Friyay 🎉 xx

Springflower3 · 14/05/2021 11:18

@Nats7504 it’s expensive so it’s best to go through your GP 🤣🤣🤣 oh my god, Your not selling it to me..... so sex has to be planned given you have to insert it 15 mins prior??
I’m so ready for you guys symptom spotting! @Skl2021 is being far to relaxed about it all!
I’m ready for my bed! You working today? Xx

Skl2021 · 14/05/2021 11:47

@springflower3 no point now 🤣 I just thought it showed when implantation was and if your graph went triphasic it was a good thing? I don't know alot about it just what IV picked up listening to people 🤦 and no I had to look back at old pregnancy test piks to see when I got my bfp 🤣 memory not that good. Haha I dropped the kids of to school and went to bed just getting up now 👀😱😂 shameless!! Hahah
@nats7504 I have no symptoms either think that's why I'm not feeling it 🤔🙈 but don't know if I want them as if drives me crazy I will not get off google if I do 😂 xx

Springflower3 · 14/05/2021 13:57

@Skl2021 the research in to the temping after ovulation varies so so much! Some evident is suggestive that you tell when you implant and if your pregnant but others say you can’t so tbh it would have something else to obsess over! I’m already poking my boobs flat out to see if there is a soreness 🤣🤣
Awww I’m jealous! I bet it was an awesome nap! What’s your plans for rest of day? Xx

Skl2021 · 14/05/2021 14:02

@Springflower3 hahahah 😂 poking your boobs!!! You will give yourself some symptoms 🙈🤦 Not to sure. Just catching up on housework 🙄 just been called for.my 2nd covid jab. Trying to decide when to have it they have slots tomorrow but IL be like 7dpo. Or if I should wait. But then if I was pregnant I wouldn't be having it 🙈😂 can't decide xx

Springflower3 · 14/05/2021 14:05

@Skl2021 I know 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t help it! Like i know it is far to early for this crack.... and I’m proud of my self I didn’t go on my lunch break to buy more tests! I don’t have any so I’m gonna have to wait it out 🙈
Mmm I don’t know, I’m very much on the side of getting it.. which one would you be getting? Xx

Skl2021 · 14/05/2021 14:24

@Springflower3 I had my first when I was 3dpo few months back. I didn't have any funny reactions to it. So I know it will be fine. Probably astrazenica again. Just don't want it to mess up with implantation as it would be roughly same time but I also want to be protected before getting pregnant 🙈🤦 if I'm not pregnant this month I could book it for then. Just incase it turns out I am 🤔👀 hahah why didn't u buy any more?! U sure u can last the weekend without testing!! Xx

Nats7504 · 14/05/2021 18:02

@Skl2021 You’re not out until AF is in town. We’ve got this girls. One of us has to be up the duff this month!
@Springflower3 You a POAS addict? I try not to have any in otherwise I over test and spend a fortune. 🙈 Will get some for next weekend and try to hold out.
I’ve got my first outdoor girls wine night tonight, not seen some of my friends like this for 18 months. Looking forward to it!
I’ve had my 1st dose of Astra and will be due my 2nd one shortly too XX

Springflower3 · 15/05/2021 07:22

@Skl2021 yea it’s a hard one to call.... have you made a decision? I honestly don’t even know what to advise you! Well maybe not the whole weekend 🤣🤣 @Nats7504 I wasn’t before but I think I will be now! I’m going shopping this morning so might purchase cheapies!
How’s the head this morning nats?? It’s crazy not having seen some of your friends in so long! Xx

Nats7504 · 15/05/2021 11:24

@Skl2021 @Springflower3 Morning ladies. Anyone POAS today? 🤣 I’m feeling a tad delicate today, didn’t get home until 1.30 and wide awake at 7 😫 shattered and hungover.. great combo 👍
We’re going to MILs today for tea so get out of cooking! What’s everyone’s plans today? Xx

Finalbaby3 · 15/05/2021 11:45

Hey girls! I've been quiet during my 2ww as I didn't want to obsess with symptom spotting...period was due yesterday. Got lower back ache now and it's slightly pink when I wipe but other than that nothing! My dp is trying to get me to test but I only have one digital in the cupboard and sooooo scared of seeing the dreaded 'not pregnant' so trying to keep myself busy today. Got a pt session then taking my girls to the park xx
