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

Good morning @Nats7504 I’m glad you had a good weekend and good distraction from ttc! What cd are you? Have you started opk yet??
Oh yes, we don’t usually have morning sex but I think he felt bad after last night!! 🤣🤣 I would laugh if this is the month it happens 🤣🤣 I am gonna assume tomorrow is 1dpo as I only peaked yest so ovulation could happen today.... xx

Skl2021 · 01/06/2021 11:42

@Springflower3 yesterday didn't even seem as dark as the day before. 🤔 IL take another toDay and see what's happening. Ohh hopefully the cramps are a good sign 🤞🤞
@Nats7504 glad you had a good weekend 😊 yes we should be around the same time if my body decides to do it 🙈🤔 Haha when u starting your marathon? We haven't really been doing it that much either xx

MarmaladeToastAndAMarmaladeCat · 01/06/2021 12:45

Hi all, I’m 8dpo here and did an internet cheapie test today obviously bfn but I like to test early 😂 I have a short luteal phase usually 7 or 8 days which doesn’t seem to have stopped me conceiving my first 2 children so I guess they implanted early. Will test again in a couple of days if no AF. Good luck to anyone testing in the next few days.

Springflower3 · 01/06/2021 13:20

@Skl2021 it could be down to your hydration levels though, that’s why I prefer the morning cause even on my peak days by afternoon the line is so light!!! What time you gonna test?
I’m hoping the cramps are too but I cramped last month cause I flicked back so maybe I do show ovulation signs 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Urgh tww fml! How am I gonna cope!!
Awww good luck @MarmaladeToastAndAMarmaladeCat!!! Oh wow, that is an early cycle!! But as you say it hasn’t stopped you before!! Xx

Skl2021 · 01/06/2021 13:35

@MarmaladeToastAndAMarmaladeCat good luck with testing 🤞🤞
@Springflower3 I'm crap with drinking anyway don't drink enough as it is 🤦 not sure when I will take one IL try and do it soon 🤣 haha u can relax now 🤞 or at least try too 🙈 xx

Nats7504 · 01/06/2021 14:35

I haven’t started using OPKs yet, I’m on CD10 and tend to start around CD11, so tomorrow! So guess I start the shagging marathon then too. I’ll cherish my last night of freedom tonight 🤣 although DP has been pissing me off the past few days so this could be fun. I don’t like you but let’s make us a baby 👍
@Skl2021 You’ll ovulate and fingers crossed in the next few days. PMA and all that. Keep peeing on them sticks. I usually do mine around midday and make sure I have a 2 hour hold so it’s not too diluted.
@Springflower3 Yay to being in the 2WW, we all know how much you love them 🤣 I’ll be joining you hopefully at the weekend 🤞 We don’t have morning sex either. I wake up in a grump and rarely speak until 2 coffees down so he doesn’t have a hope in hell. So well done! 👋
@MarmaladeToastAndAMarmaladeCat Only a few more days to go, the worst in my opinion. This is why I don’t have any tests in as I would test knowing it’s far too early 🙈 xx

Skl2021 · 01/06/2021 17:10

@Nats7504 haha I hate when that happens and your pissed at oh but it's peak baby time 🤣🤦 here's today's test. Maybe I'm close to ovulation?! What do we think 🤔 @Nats7504 @Springflower3 xx

Springflower3 · 01/06/2021 17:44

@Nats7504 make up sex?? 🤣🤣🤣 at least there will be passion and not a chore 🙈🙈
@Skl2021 I don’t think there is a pic attached??

Nats7504 · 01/06/2021 17:50

@Springflower3 I’m sure he’ll be up for that. He has already asked when we’re starting 🙄 You’re all done for this month now, can relax (well as much as you can in the 2WW) How did the job interview go?
@Skl2021 I can’t see a picture? Xx

Skl2021 · 01/06/2021 18:15

@Lauevans2510 I can see something 🎉🤞🤞 hope this is it for you xx

Nats7504 · 01/06/2021 21:17

@Skl2021 I can see the start of a line. It’s a step in the right direction. What DPO are you now?
@Lauevans2510 I see a faint line! How many DPO are you? Xx

Skl2021 · 01/06/2021 21:34

@Nats7504 it's quite dark irl. Getting darker anyway. My app says ovulation tomorrow but maybe in the next few days 🤞🤞 I'm cd 16 today. I better start DTD just incase xx

Popcornbetty · 01/06/2021 21:39

Don’t worry about age, conceived dc1 first month of not actively trying at 31 and dc2 4th month (the month we had stopped ‘trying’ at 33!) so really quick for both.

Nats7504 · 01/06/2021 21:53

@Skl2021 I’m rubbish at pictures. Looks like you’re ready for the DTD marathon then 🤣 best freshen up and jump OH. I better start too, had a few Proseccos so mine might even get some!! Xx

Skl2021 · 01/06/2021 22:05

@nats7504 yes it might be a few days yet but at least it's getting darker 🙈 he's just had his first covid jab a couple of hours ago so I'm hoping he will be ok 🤦🤣 need him for baby making don't have time for him to be Ill 🙊🤣 ohhh get you your oh will be loving life 😂 especially when u start your marathon I won't be going to that extent 🙈 xx

Springflower3 · 01/06/2021 22:10

@Skl2021 it’s defo there! I would say another day or so?? Get the DP to take one for the team 🤣🤣🤣
@Nats7504 are you serious 🤣 does he know he is pissing you off?? 🙈 when you gonna out him out of his misery and start??
Aw it went as good as I can expect.... so I will know by end of the week 🙈🙈 fingers crossed for me!
We just squeezed in another wee session there..... so I’m hoping I have defo covered myself now!! 🤣🤣🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 01/06/2021 22:31

@Springflower3 yes I'm hoping next few days 🤞🤞 praying it happens before I get in the twenties but I don't have ewcm yet so might be a bit off yet 🙈🤦 yes u will be covered I might have to start tonight youse are putting me to shame 🤣🙊 hopefully u will get a new job and a bfp 🤞🤞🎉 xx

Iecydda · 01/06/2021 22:59

@Bluelightbaby Similar here! Got an almost 14 yo and an 11 yo with my ex-husband and a just turned 1 yo with my fiancé. I'm 40 and fell pregnant the very first month of trying! I'm definitely done now - our daughter is my partner's first and last baby! Had a home birth which was amazing and he even got to help deliver her Smile

Nats7504 · 01/06/2021 23:04

@Skl2021 a covid jab is fuck all compared to pregnancy. Tell him to have a word with himself and climb aboard 🤣 defo think you’ll have your peak within a few days going by your OPK. I’m not following the SMEP as I shouldn’t started by now. I’ll bang when it’s needed. None of this cover when I know I’m not ovulating shit. I’m cycle 7, novelty has gone 🙈
@Springflower3 Oh he knows. He’s started a new job to be fair to him and he should’ve had this week off but had to cancel it due to the job. I’m unreasonable to be fair, usually am 🤣 he’s been stressed so should be sympathetic but I’m sure FW will cheer him up 🤞
Glad your job interview went ok and you DTD, sound covered to me. Time to chill and fret during 2TWW XX

Skl2021 · 01/06/2021 23:17

@Nats7504 if the day comes that he turns down DTD then I know there's something wrong 🤣 he will do it on his deathbed 🤦😂🙈 yes I'm quite surprised how calm I am tbh thought as the months went on I would be constantly stressing and trying everything possible but I'm just taking it as it comes and doing it when I can be arsed 🤦🤣 it will happen when it happens. Might go see if the 'captain' is ready for me to climb aboard now 🤣🙊👀 xx

11DPO

Springflower3 · 02/06/2021 09:13

@Nats7504 aww a new job can be so stressful but defo the dtd will cheer him up no end!! We are allowed to be unreasonable! I blame it on hormones 🤣🤣🤣
@Skl2021 yest was a total one off! I actually don’t know what got in to him because usually he is one time a day guy 🤣🤣🤣 I think you have the right idea.... just try to be relaxed... me and DP have discussed it may not happen for us and we have planned to expect that and how much free time we will have and money 🤣🤣
Hopefully your tests will be darker in the next few days! Cause I feel so lonely now in the tww 🤣
I am officially 1dpo! Just another million to go! I am not even gonna be positive cause then it lessens the blow when I am not!!! Xx

Skl2021 · 02/06/2021 16:21

@Springflower3 yes I think I'm at peace with if it happens it happens and if it doesn't then it's not meant to be 🤞 took another test this morning and it maybe a shade darker but no peak yet 😩 will take another tonight. IL attach a pic xx
