Trying for baby number 3

[HeatherSmithxoxo]

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

@PositiveVibes89 mine are 7+5 😊 have u taken anymore tests? Xx

@Skl2021 maybe this is a sign!! 🤣🤣🤣 are you nearing the end of AF? Your starting back to work this weekend didn’t you say?
@PositiveVibes89 I know, it’s so hard so wait and I refuse to pay out big money for tests tbh! So I think going forward I’m only buying them if I am late!! I have a 9 year old and 3 year old! But this is my first child to new DP so it’s a complete unknown basically 🙈🙈 did it take you long with your other kids for ttc? Xx

@Springflower3 yes I don't know what the hell is going on I usually do get pains but this time was something else! I'm on day 4 today so hoping I'm over the worst and should go lighter now. 🤞🤞 Unless my body wants to punish me some more 🤦 yes back to work Saturday I'm dreading it 🙈😩👀 xxx

@Springflower3 this is my first time with my DP as well and will be his first.
My DD keeps asking for a baby brother or sister 👶
With my am first two I didn't actively try so this is all very new! How long were you TTC your first two?
I am not going to test again unless AF is late. I am pretty sure this isn't our month

@Skl2021 no more tests - I am going to wait for AF to arrive. I am gearing up for the next cycle now

@PositiveVibes89 u should take another that one u did may have been positive!! U might not need to try next month 🙈🤞🤞 x

Afternoon ladies 😘

What a shitty Thursday! Roll on the weekend and this week has knocked me on my arse. So tired. 😫

Sorry to hear your AFs are being a bitch @Springflower3 @Skl2021 Why do period pains hit you when you’re already down 😔

@PositiveVibes89 Sorry if I’ve missed it but when is your AF due?

I’m still spotting, I’m due between Friday and Sunday (depends what my body fancies doing this month!) I’ve not tested as I don’t think I could cope with seeing another negative test to be honest. Xx

@Nats7504 so my opks are on route and I decided to get some vitamin c and zinc to try 🤞😂 so now have them and folic acid and vitamin d and b12 see if that does anything 👀🙈😂 sorry your spotting hope u don't have bad pains like us 🤞 can't wait to get on with it now xxx

@Nats7504 AF is due on Sunday, although I have been spotting today and have cramps 😭
It's like as soon as we are TTC our bodies think hmm how can I cause the most stress / I know I will mimic pregnancy symptoms up until the very later minute.

I hope everyone is doing okay. At least it is almost the weekend

@PositiveVibes89 oh no the dreading spotting has got you too?! What is going on with this thread it's taking us all down 😩🙈 yes haha our bodies like to keep us on our toes and throw everything at us 🙊🤦🤣 xx

@Nats7504 is this particularly early for you then if it is more than spotting? 😳😳
We are all going early this month then?
Mine is so heavy now which is a standard pattern!
@PositiveVibes89 absolutely looking forward to a wee gin or two this weekend!!
@Skl2021 on to the next phase, we will be wanting daily updates of your opk to see them getting darker!! 🤣🤣🤣
I’m hopeful we will all get caught on the same month!! 😬😬 xx

@Springflower3 hahah I'm only on day 4 don't usually ovulate for another couple of weeks yet 🤦 going to be a long time for me just want to get going already 🤣 oh that would be amazing if we all did 🙈🤞 xx

Jeez girls, what’s up with our cycles in this thread?! I’ll probably be in full flow tomorrow, which is CD26 🙄 All that shagging and bloody lube for nada! Onto cycle 6/7. I’m drowning my sorrows with a Prosecco, it’s either that or cry 🥂
@PositiveVibes89 Hormones are the best, that mixed with our heads conjuring up symptoms 🙈
@Springflower3 it’s kind of early, my cycles are around 26-28 days but really hoped she wouldn’t turn up this month. Hope yours does one soon. Weekend fun sounds like a plan 👍
@Skl2021 Get you with all your vitamins, you’ll be rattling like the rest of us. Worth a try though aren’t they? Anything goes when TTC. I’ll be POAS with you, I’m getting more OTT with every cycle 🤣 xx

@Nats7504 haha I was just saying that were all having messed up cycles 🤦glad i didn't go into full Shag mode like you 🙈 can hardly be arsed to do it at the best of times 🤣🤣 well i was looking forward to.poas and they didnt bloody turn up today 🤦😤 the cheek 🤣🤣 xx

@Skl2021 Hopefully this is our dodgy cycle and our bodies start behaving as next month! I’m sick of waiting for my BFP now.
I know, not sure I’m going full SMEP again this month. We’ve not done it since, poor boy is bouncing 🙈
I have none in either, best get my Amazon order in! XX

@Nats7504 yes I don't know what approach to take either I'm running out of options 🤣 the smep is brutal if you have long cycles don't think I'm ready for that again I would be starting in a few days 🤦🙈 xx

Morning ladies!
Can you explain what the SMEP is? It is timed sex??
@Nats7504 how is the spotting today?
@Skl2021 hopefully your tests turn up today! I got 50 the last cycle and there is loads left so I’m ready and prepped if I decide to test (which we all know I will)
It is strange that we all are kinda around the same time give it take a few days like!!
I’m feeling so tired today! Can’t wait for a sleep in!

@springflower3 I think IV got a pack of 40 coming. Not expecting anything to happen this early tho think IL ovulate in a couple of weeks. Smep is basically u start DTD every other day from day 8. When u reach positive ovulation u DTD for 3 days then miss a day then DTD once more then stop. I found it very hard to stick to and takes alot of motivation but I have long cycles. Xx

@Skl2021 yea like if you start dtd at cd 8 and you don’t ovulate to cd 16.... that’s exhausting! Especially when you have other kids and a job!!!
Like obviously people swear by it?? But would it not just be easier to dtd every other day when you see the line getting darker then perhaps day of positive etc? Like I’m hardly an expert to be honest.... I just wing it and hope for the best 🤣🤣 xx

@Springflower3 yes I wasn't ovulating until after cd 20 so it was hard work. But at least I tried it. Didn't work 🤣🙈 unless u have to do it month after month 🤦 how's your pains now? I'm cd 5 so nearly done now 🎉🤞😂 xx

@Skl2021 I’m going to visit a friend tomorrow who has recent had a baby 😕 first month they got lucky! They don’t know we are ttc so I will just have pretend all is rosy but deep inside I’m jealous as hell!
Oh half way until the testing starts! Have they arrived?? Positive thoughts all ready??
They comes and go but aren’t as bad... like I can function again 🤣🤣 This is my first proper AF since stopping the pill as last month it was my break thru bleed so I’m figuring that why it was so painful? Xx

Sorry for the radio silence ladies. Been having a little wobble these past few days. TTC is tough!
I’m still spotting so AF hasn’t come full flow yet but she’s been doing this the past few months. Wish she’d just turn up and be done with it! 👊🏻 Hope you’re all ok xx

@Springflower3 just got in from work it killed me 🤣🤦 yes some people have it so lucky and don't have to go through this termoil month after month 😩 love a shiny new baby cuddle tho 😍 My tests have not arrived I'm pissed off meant to be here Thursday and still not here 😤😱 gonna have to chase them up! Yes might be 🤞🤞 is it stil painful now? Xx
@Nats7504 it's fine to have a wobble IV had plenty 🤣🤦 some months are harder than others especially when u have tried so hard. Spotting is such a Kik in the teeth just dragging it on for longer than it has too 😩 like come on get on with it if af is arriving 😤 hope your feeling a bit better now xxx

@Skl2021 I bet you slept well 🤣🤣 when are you back in work?? My AF is in the final day or so.... so I’m starting to re think the whole not tracking 🤣🤣 maybe just a few opk? Just to see if I ovulate around the same time perhaps?? 🤣🤣 emm that’s strange why haven’t arrived??
@Nats7504 sending you virtual hugs! This is such a tough think to go through cause it is completely out of our control once we dtd!! Hopefully AF starts today then you can plan for the next cycle! You got this, it is gonna happen for you I know it xx

@Springflower3 my tests have just arrived 🤣🎉 finally 🤦 yes that's all I did as my ovulation varies. Just a few to make sure it was right time. I don't know wat to do this month unless I go with the flow again 🤣 just had my second jab today aswell hope it doesn't mess things up xx
