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

Good morning @Nats7504 at least you won’t have to cook with a hangover!! Good night though? I’m just back from grocery shopping... very rock and roll!!
I haven’t poas! Based on how I am feeling I really don’t feel 10dpo as even before my af shows I would get sore boobs and feel crap a few days before so I’m gonna say I’m prob more 7dpo so no point as it’s gonna say negative 🤣🤣 xx

Nats7504 · 15/05/2021 14:55

@Finalbaby3 How have you not tested?! @Springflower3 would’ve been in overdrive 🤣 I feel human again and off to MILs for a chilli 🌶 It was lovely to catch up with them all, I wouldn’t want to see her recycle bin today though 🙈
When did you get your peak? I got mine on Sunday, assumed I ovulated in Monday so guess I’m 5DPO. Feel nada 👎 it’s still very early and most people get zero symptoms until their period is late. You’re still in with a good chance 🤞 Xx

Skl2021 · 15/05/2021 16:30

@Springflower3 When are you testing again 😂👀 I'm 8 dpo today and no symptoms your definitely ahead of me! @Nats7504 mmmm enjoy your chili. IL be getting a takeaway Tonight just don't know what to pick 🤔🙈 xx

Finalbaby3 · 15/05/2021 16:47

I've tested this just now.....bfn 😩 must just be a late period I guess x

Skl2021 · 15/05/2021 17:02

@Finalbaby3 sorry it's not good news 😣 horrible when it's late and you get your hopes up xx

Springflower3 · 15/05/2021 21:40

@Finalbaby3 sorry about your bfn!! How many cycles are you?
@Nats7504 I got my peak at like 6Am on Wednesday so I was assuming I ovulated Wednesday or Thursday so today I am 10 dpo! Did the chilli help cure you?? 😉
@Skl2021 I literally am clueless on when to test tbh!! My boobs has a slight tenderness.... and it’s not from me poking 🤣🤣 and boy am I bloated! So that could be from eating to much!! You gonna test on Monday or Tuesday? Xx

Skl2021 · 15/05/2021 21:58

@Springflower3 hahah all the symptoms are so similar it's hard to know 🙈 and I'm going to wait aslong as I can see if I start spotting. Only got 2 tests don't want to waste them xx

Finalbaby3 · 16/05/2021 03:41

@Springflower3 this is my 6th month so not too disappointed as we're still early into it. Just got up to go to the toilet as I felt like I'd come on but still nothing. I'll probably wait till Wednesday and do another test. It's like torture 😬

Springflower3 · 16/05/2021 06:22

@Skl2021 I know!!! And now we are getting so close it’s like come on! 🤣🤣🤣
@Finalbaby3 has the light spotting gone too? Sure a late period is indicative that you may have ovulated later if though you tracked a surge??
Well I caved and tested too.... obviously a bfn! I bought the cheap strips from Tesco and apparently they aren’t to be used prior to your missed period as they only detect 25 whatever it is? I checked back to when I was pregnant with my son and I tested on CD 27 (I’m CD 26 today) and it was negative...... was another 4 days before I got a positive so... I’m grasping at straws here 🤣🤣🤣 xx

Finalbaby3 · 16/05/2021 09:00

@Springflower3 yep spotting happened once yesterday morning but nothing at all since. I don't track with opks I just use my app as a guide so I don't know for sure when I ovulated 🤷🏽‍♀️ the test I used was an Asda test and I remember with my previous pregnancies I never tested until 1 week late. It's a possibility I'm still in but I just don't want to get my hopes up. We're all still in until af shows! X

Springflower3 · 16/05/2021 09:05

@Finalbaby3 that could have been implantation bleeding then? I would test again in a few days! This could be promising for you!!
I’m gonna try and hold off testing until the end of the week, all I will do is cause myself to overthink etc if I test again before my period is due! Xx

Skl2021 · 16/05/2021 10:29

@Springflower3 yes I am starting to get a bit antsy now 🙈 but IV already had my first wee so no point doing one today now as don't think there very sensitive 🤣 how u holding up? Closer we get harder it is 🙊 xx

Nats7504 · 16/05/2021 10:39

Morning ladies 😊 Hope you’re all ok. Sunday chills in our house today. Still in pjs.
@Finalbaby3 Sorry your test was BFN 😔 like the others have said though, you’re not out until AF comes. You may have ovulated later and too early to pick anything up.
@Skl2021 Well done holding out on the testing. How many DPO are you now? What takeaway did you end up picking?
@Springflower3 The chilli sorted me out! Woke up feeling fresh and ready to attack the housework later and then a roast. Love Sundays. Sorry your tests were negative too, although it is very early so don’t be disheartened. Do you have long cycles? Xx

Skl2021 · 16/05/2021 10:43

@Nats7504 mmm I could just eat a roast today but CBA making it 🤣🙈 I'm 9 dpo 👀 getting very close now ahhaha it's only going to get harder! Erm I had Chinese 😋 my favourite haha xx

Springflower3 · 16/05/2021 11:00

@Nats7504 if I go by the opk it would be 28 day which would be short for me... I’m usually 32 days 🙄🙄 but if I go by my temps it would be a 32 day cycle and I wouldn’t be due AF to sat!! So it’s hard to tell! I’ve woke up this morning with defo tender boobs and a bit nauseous but could be AF! Either way I’m only either 11dpo or 8dpo so defo early!

I’m jealous that @Skl2021 is showing awesome restraint!
What brand of cheapies do you guys use?? I was googling that freedom brand I bought and apparently they are the worst 🤣🤣🤣 trust me!
What days are you guys testing? 11dpo isn’t too far for you skl!! Xx

Skl2021 · 16/05/2021 11:29

@Springflower3 don't get me wrong in normally testing by now I would be going crazy!! But I normally have stacks of tests which I don't this time so can't do it. I'm sure I will cave at some point 🙈🤣 I'm a new woman this month. 💪 IV tried one step which are bad. Erm cheap ones from bnm and poundshop. And ATM I'm using femometer ones of eBay. Would use frer if I could afford them 🤣 the amount I use would cost a fortune xx

Nats7504 · 16/05/2021 11:30

@Skl2021 I make one on the Sunday’s I have the boys as they love it. It is a massive faff though! Chinese was a good shout 👍 I always feel rank after one as I eat too much 🙈
@Springflower3 Jeez, that sounds confusing. Which is more accurate? My cycles vary from 25-28 days. So if I have a 28 day cycle this month, I’ll be due next Sunday. So similar to you.
Testing will be commencing next week for all of us 🙈 so nervous! I have no tests in which is a good thing as don’t want to obsessively test. It’s disheartening to see a BFN isn’t it xx

Finalbaby3 · 16/05/2021 15:41

Well af is here! So back to cycle day 1. Feel like it's never going to happen!

Skl2021 · 16/05/2021 16:09

@Finalbaby3 sorry af got you 😩 🤞 for this month xx

Nats7504 · 16/05/2021 17:48

@Finalbaby3 Sorry AF got you lovely. Why does it always come after you’ve just done a test?! It’s a proper head fuck! 🤷🏻‍♀️ CD1 is the start of a new month. 😘 xx

Springflower3 · 17/05/2021 08:42

Good morning ladies!
@Finalbaby3 sorry AF arrived, new cycle new month! We must stay positive!!
@Nats7504 very disheartening! I used the last test I had this morning but it’s was whiter than white 😞 I am trying to be positive the tests do say not to use prior to missed period but still I thought there would be some sort of a line!
@Skl2021 you aren’t far off 11dpo..... how you feeling??
I had a rough day yest.... my breakfast turned my stomach and I vomited a bit but I think I just ate to fast 🤣 then I had real bad stomach pains yest evening but I think it was trapped wind 🙈🙈
My boobs are defo tender and I’m sooo bloated ! All the classic signs of my AF coming.. they normally show about 5 days before which means AF could turn up Thursday or Friday 😞 xx

Skl2021 · 17/05/2021 09:09

@Springflower3 @Nats7504 hi ladies pretty sure I'm out. Started last night there's pink when I'm wiping 😩 getting earlier and earlier 😤 xx

Springflower3 · 17/05/2021 10:32

@Skl2021 awk no way! What DPO are you??? Surely if it gets any shorter you will need to speak with GP? Has this happened before? Xx

Skl2021 · 17/05/2021 10:35

@Springflower3 I'm 10 dpo today. Last two months it started around 11/12 dpo. Haven't come on yet and it's only when I wipe but I'm assuming it's on its way In the next few days. Think 10 days and under u might have problems. My cycle length is long is just ovulation is late. I'm on cd 32 today xx

Springflower3 · 17/05/2021 13:11

@Skl2021 is there a chance it could be implantation bleeding? Like do you notice it on a pad?? Unless your full flow I’ve still got faith!! Xx
