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

@Nats7504 yes can do but then there's loads that say it hasn't. Same with anything reacts differently to different people. It's worth a shot anyway isn't it. Not like we don't try everything else. 🤣 Ohh I might look into that. I don't know if I should be trying to bring ovulation forward 🤔 xx

Nats7504 · 18/05/2021 17:27

@Skl2021 this is my first month taking them so guess I’ll find out soon if it’s messed with mine! 🙈 We only started taking other vitamins this month as before i was just on folic acid. It’s a minefield 🤷🏻‍♀️ How long is your LP? I think there’s other vitamins that can help with that, soya something? Or I could’ve just made that up 🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 18/05/2021 17:40

@Nats7504 yes it is a minefield I never took anything with my first two apart from folic acid so don't know if I should mess around with them. Just need to suck It up and accept it takes time 🤦 well it was 14 days then past two months it dropped to 12 then this month was 10 so don't know what's happening. I had the covid jab. And now IV got my next on Sunday so don't know if that's messing things up apart from that I haven't done anything different. And yes iv heard of soy isoflavones don't know what it is tho 🤣 just pick up the lingo on the mn threads 👀😂 xx

Morning guys!
@Skl2021 I’ve read about that soya stuff too and some people do swear by it but I don’t know what they actually do to lengthen your cycle etc? I think you can get it on Amazon??
@Nats7504 Let’s hope all your hard work has paid off!! You will skipping off merely to the pregnancy threads! I really really am rooting for you!
I’ve started spotting this morning so no doubt I will be full flow by end of the day! I’m trying to be positive! Seriously considering going cold turkey on all aspects of tracking for a month.... ovulation will potentially be from cd 14 so if I dtd every other day for a week I should be covered 🤣🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 19/05/2021 09:10

@Springflower3 morning!! Sorry your spotting 😩 It takes alot of self control to go cold turkey 🤣🤔 but it's much easier if u ovulate at the same time. IV ordered my opks already so guess I'm going back to testing 😂 xx

Springflower3 · 19/05/2021 11:03

@Skl2021 we will testing around the same time then 🤣🤣🤣
See that’s the thing, this is a really short month for me! So next month could be different! It is so hard to know! Which tests did you order??? And when will you start? Xx

Skl2021 · 19/05/2021 11:27

@Springflower3 just the femometer ones again as you get lots and they show up really well. And ha as soon as they come 🤣 why not?! I've missed peeing on a stick 🤣🙈🤦 xx

mayflower21 · 19/05/2021 11:29

Ladies here, please stop making 30 look old!
Had my first when 30, and didn't feel old Grin

Springflower3 · 19/05/2021 11:47

@Skl2021 it’s like a sadistic kick from seeing it getting darker!!! I’m expecting AF to finish on Monday so if I start poas it won’t be till the weekend after...... that’s if I start..... I might for one month try and resist and see what’s happens! Thinking back I think it was the month I didn’t track I got pregnant with my son 🤷‍♀️ Xx

PositiveVibes89 · 19/05/2021 11:52

Hi Guy's,
Just a quick question - although I probably know the answer 🤪
Are Clear Blue evap lines usually blue?
The test was negative within 10mins but then I decided to double check later Blush
I am pretty sure it is just an evap but thought I would ask the opinion of people that have done tests recently.
Thanks in advance :)

Skl2021 · 19/05/2021 11:54

@Springflower3 well I haven't ovulated before cd 17 so I'm expecting it to be blank it's going to be ages before I reach ovulation 🤣 just want my Kik 👀🙊 well good luck if u resist it takes strength 💪 hahah Wel IV tried it now and it didn't work so back to tracking 🤦 found myself looking at more vitamins tho 🙈 not that I know what to look at or what I want!!
@mayflower21 aww sorry 🙈 I had my first at 21 and feels like a lifetime ago I know it's not old just feel it 😂 xx

Skl2021 · 19/05/2021 11:56

@PositiveVibes89 I haven't tested lately with clearblue. But usually they say they are colourless. But I have seen tests that are coloured and are evaps. They can be really convincing. I wouldn't get your hopes up Yet just incase! I would double check with a pink test. Sorry I can't be much help 🙈 but 🤞 it is a bfp!! xx

PositiveVibes89 · 19/05/2021 12:00

Thanks @Skl2021

To be honest that's what I thought, if it was positive I would have seen something in the time frame :(

On to the next cycle Smile

Who knew TTC would be so consuming! I need to be more relaxed 😎

I hope everyone is okay - at least we are half way through the week now Daffodil

Skl2021 · 19/05/2021 12:06

@PositiveVibes89 don't just take my word tho! Hopefully it is positive and I would definitely double check don't write it off just yet!! 😁 It's not over until af shows!!🤞 Yes very consuming I say I need to relax every cycle and it's hard to let go 🙈😂 xx

Nats7504 · 19/05/2021 12:59

Hey ladies!

What a beautiful day, for once we don’t have rain 🌧 washing is on the line and it’s hump day!

@Springflower3 Is AF defo on its way then? If she is, you’re only on cycle 1. Take it as a practice one. I’d say SMEP it next month but wait to see if worked for me first 🙈 Cause it’s full on!

@Skl2021 Maybe worth trying that Soy stuff, isn’t it meant to bring ovulation forward? I’m sure there’s a thread on it somewhere. I ovulated on CD15 and usually have 26-28 day cycles so mine are pretty short too.

@mayflower21 haha, I’m 37 so on the wrong side of 30 🙈

Skl2021 · 19/05/2021 20:01

@Nats7504 hey! Yes IV been having a look at random vitamins and things need to look a bit more see if there's anything I fancy trying this month 🙈 how u doing any symptoms yet? Must be getting close to testing 🤞🤞 xx

Nats7504 · 19/05/2021 20:12

@Skl2021 There’s so many vitamins out there, we’d rattle if we took them all. 🙈 Most of the vitamins take a little while to get in your system so the new ones I tried this month probably wouldn’t have made any difference yet.
I’ve started spotting which I think means she’s on her way and on the shorter side this month, probably Friday which will be a 26 day cycle. 😔 xx

Skl2021 · 19/05/2021 20:18

@Nats7504 I rattle and creak anyway what's a few more 🙈😂 oh no not you aswell?! Looks like us three amigos will go through to the next month 😂🙊🤦 It could be implantation? Think positive 🤞🤞xx

Nats7504 · 19/05/2021 20:22

@Skl2021 Some women take a whole meals worth. I didn’t use them last time but trying to be more prepared this time. Rattle and creak 🤣
I’d like to be optimistic and say it’s implantation but think it’s more likely AF. Looks like we’re continuing as the three amigos for another month 🤷🏻‍♀️ Xx

Skl2021 · 19/05/2021 20:27

@Nats7504 no I didn't take anything either. 😂 Still early days I keep forgetting it took nearly a year with my first so I'm trying to chill onto month 5 🤞 Keep the hope! I never got implantation bleeding with my 2 either did you? So doubt I would get it this time xx

Nats7504 · 19/05/2021 20:30

@Skl2021 Maybe month 5 will be your lucky cycle. How old is your youngest?
I don’t think I had implantation bleeding but mine are 11 and 13 now so can’t remember 🙈 XX

Skl2021 · 19/05/2021 20:39

@Nats7504 I don't think it will be think I'm In for a longer haul 🤦my youngest is 5 and that feels like a long time ago 🙈 xx

Springflower3 · 20/05/2021 08:24

Morning all! Sorry I went MIA yest! Period pains are a fucking nightmare! I was curled up in bed 🤣🤣
@Skl2021 would you consider those soya ones?? Or what about the preseed? If it works for nats this month we will be stock piling it!
@PositiveVibes89 are you going to test again today or wait for AF? I like your positivity 😬 I was pure depressed when AF showed but I’m get positive again 🤣🤣
@Nats7504 we are nearing testing time! I’m super excited for you!!! How you feeling?? Xx

Skl2021 · 20/05/2021 08:29

@Springflower3 hello again! Funny u say that IV had the worst pains also this month. Absolute agony worse than normal 😤 hoping I'm coming to the end now 🤞🤦 no I'm not trying them yet. Just been looking at like vitamin c/zinc sort of multivitamins. Nothing specific. Xx

PositiveVibes89 · 20/05/2021 08:40

@Springflower3 I am sorry you are in pain this month!
I am trying to stay positive, it's so frustrating that early pregnancy symptoms and pre period symptoms are basically the same Confused
I start to get my hopes up and then realise that it is actually probably nothing Hmm

How old is everyone's children? (Sorry if you have already said!) mine are 9 and 5.
