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

Morning everyone. Hope you all had a good weekend? I had a put my phone in a drawer kind of weekend, was lovely.
@Skl2021 That must be so frustrating. Are you still testing twice a day? Maybe try a different brand of OPK tests? DTD for this long must be driving you loopy, is OH still up for it?! 🤣
@Springflower3 I hate bloating! Maybe drink loads of water and try and flush it out, sometimes works for me.
I got my peak on Friday/Saturday so spent the weekend DTD. Fingers crossed I didn’t start too late. So guess I’m around 1/2 DPO now. God I love a 2WW 🙈 xx

Skl2021 · 07/06/2021 09:36

@Springflower3 will see how today's goes haven't taken one yet. Your going to be well ahead of me before I even ovulate 🤦🙈 haha IV already lost all hope. Haven't DTD in nearly a week now 😩🙈 was meant to start again last night but fell asleep 🤣 yes I would say it's to soon for symptoms xx

Skl2021 · 07/06/2021 09:39

@Nats7504 IV been testing multiple times a day like a mad women 🙈 driving me crazy haven't done one today. I can't believe your all in the tww 😩 I stopped DTD around wed as I was fed up. Need to get back to it. No oh would do it every day he's not fussed. Glad u had a relaxing weekend mine has been non stop everyday xx

Nats7504 · 07/06/2021 10:06

@Skl2021 Maybe you have already ovulated? Are you later than you were last month? Honestly this TTC malarkey is so tough. Every month it gets harder and harder. I feel your pain.
If it doesn’t happen for us this month I’m going to bite the bullet and go to the doctors. If it’s not going to happen or there are issues I’d rather know XX

Skl2021 · 07/06/2021 10:11

@nats7504 well I'm cd 22 now and last month I had ovulation down as cd 21 but I stopped testing as I ran out so maybe I didn't ovulate then or maybe I haven't at all. The tests have been the same darkness all week now so doubt IV missed it. I started around cd 10 aswell. Yes I don't blame u at least then if there is a problem u can find a solution to fix it. You covered yourself enough this month tho so 🤞🤞 I might need to look into this ovulation thing more aswell if it keeps going like this 🤦 IL see what today's brings later on 🙈 xx

Nats7504 · 07/06/2021 13:30

@Skl2021 Have you tested again? You might get your peak in the next few days. It’s such a small window, might be worth DTD tonight to cover potential ovulation!
Yeah, I’m hoping everything will be fine and it’s just taking longer due to age but if it’s something more serious I’d rather know. No point in taking all the vitamins and DTD as much as we do if it’s not going to work XX

Skl2021 · 07/06/2021 13:43

@Nats7504 literally just doing it IL attach it. Maybe a smidge darker but no peak 🙈🤣 just my luck yes IL start DTD from today again 🤞 I'm sure u will be fine it took me nearly a year with my first and I was only 21 think it will take this long again with this one 🙈🤦 the way things are going 🤣 xx

Nats7504 · 07/06/2021 14:45

@Skl2021 that looks darker! Best get yourself some D tonight 🤣 he must be loving life 🙈
I was first month with both of mine but I was 23 and 25 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who knows huh xx

Skl2021 · 07/06/2021 14:54

@nats7504 hahah that's hilarious I'm sick of the d now 🤣🙈🤦 ready for a break!! But Ill get back on the saddle tonight just incase! 👀 It can get darker than that tho so maybe soon 🤞🤞🙌🙌 oh wow u got lucky both times then! If only it was that easy everytime! Xx

Springflower3 · 07/06/2021 19:46

@Skl2021 it is defo getting darker! Maybe tomorrow will be the day 😬😬 you have kept me positive over the last 2 months!! You just gotta keep going! Have you considered speaking to Gp?
@Nats7504 no harm in getting checked out..... but it poses the question... would you want to be told there is a problem or there no known reason and to just keep trying?? Potentially any problem can be sorted 🤷‍♀️ How many dpo are you?
I’m really thinking I am out this month... my boobs are getting slightly tender and I’ve ‘the feeling’ you know when you know AF is gonna arrive?? Xx

Nats7504 · 07/06/2021 19:53

@Skl2021 I felt like that over the weekend. Was so over DTD after Sunday’s session. I’m giving myself most of this week off. Need R&R 🤣 Until your body sorts it’s shit out and gives you your peak you’ve got to keep up with the D. What we have to do huh 🙄
@Springflower3 No idea. Just don’t want to leave it too long and limit the chances of help due to my age. What have I got to lose? If everything is fine then happy days, we’ll just keep trying. But if it flags up a problem with sperm or eggs then we need to seek help for that. I’m 1/2 DPO I think. You need to keep positive, the feeling of AF and pregnancy are generally the same! xx

Skl2021 · 07/06/2021 23:09

@nats7505 @springflower3 I took another tonight cos I'm a mad women 🤦 it looks darker to me. But still no peak think I'm upto 60% on the app now 🤣🙌 so getting closer. It is driving me up the wall no lie 👀 can't wait for it to be over. Another tomorrow I gues 🙈🤞 glad I'm keeping youse occupied during your tww's!! With my dodgy ovulation shit show 🤣🤣🤦 xx

Nats7504 · 08/06/2021 11:02

@Skl2021 That one looks promising! I’ve started getting EWCM again but I’m like 2/3DPO, do you think I need to take another OPK test? Have you taken one today? Get yourself some D just incase it’s approaching? Xx

Skl2021 · 08/06/2021 11:23

@Nats7504 @Springflower3 I think I may have a peak or near 🙌🙌🎉🎉🤣🤣 woohoo show me the d 👀🤣 Got 100 on my app 😎 go me 🤦

Skl2021 · 08/06/2021 11:24

@Nats7504 yes I would take one just to be sure won't do no harm xxx

Springflower3 · 08/06/2021 17:40

@Nats7504 I would do another test to settle your own mind you haven’t missed anything!!
@Skl2021 so happy for you that you got your peak!! Happy days!!! Get to baby dancing for next few days!! Fuck the romance just go for it 🤣🤣🤣
Well ladies I am hundred percent sure I am out..... my boobs are tender which for me is a classic sign of AF even though I am only 7dpo and she isn’t due to next Tuesday 😕😕 xx

Skl2021 · 08/06/2021 17:45

@Springflower3 the romance went a while ago 🤣🙈 yes going to do it until Friday I think make sure I'm covered 🤣 that's if I last that long haha. Aww u sure thats a bummer u feel like that it's very early to be getting these feelings tho when af isn't due. Don't give up hope yet xx

Nats7504 · 08/06/2021 17:49

@Skl2021 Yay 🙌 That looks promising!! Sooo happy for you. Best get some ‘romantic’ banging in 🤣 Poor lad must be near on dry by now! 🙈
I took a test and it had a line but it wasn’t anywhere near the colour of the control line so think I’m ok. DP is away tonight so good job!
@Springflower3 They could also be early pregnancy symptoms!! Xx

Springflower3 · 08/06/2021 18:20

@Skl2021 4 days in a row or will you have a break? Are you gonna test again tomorrow??
@Nats7504 I’m sure your kinda relieved?? At least you know you haven’t had a second surge whilst he is away! You will have the bed all to yourself tonight!!
Surely it is early either way? Like I’m thinking it is AF as implantation can’t have happened yet as that doesn’t occur till later?? They are really tender tbh.... I’ve my bra off and I feel it even when I move! No other symptoms like cramping etc 🤷‍♀️ Xx

Skl2021 · 08/06/2021 19:02

@Nats7504 haha poor lad 🤔 don't think so he's loving life I'm the one struggling 🤣🤣 just glad it's finally here and can move on thought it would never happen!!
@Springflower3 yes IL try and DTD everyday and yes IL test again until it starts to go light make sure it's happened 🤣🤦 I'm sure IV nearly used all my 40 opks in the last week or so testing like a mad lady 🙈🙊 xx

Nats7504 · 08/06/2021 19:25

@Skl2021 Everyday. For 4 more days. After all the bonking you’ve done this month 😳 You have my sympathies 🙈 At least the end is in sight and your uterus must be swimming so I have my fingers crossed 🤞
@Springflower3 I did worry so glad it didn’t peak again, I’ve normally only peaked once a cycle but who knows. Plus with him being away I’d be screwed but in the wrong way 🤣 Yep. Starfish! It couldn’t implanted early or it could be all the changes to your body. Don’t lose hope so early on xx

Skl2021 · 08/06/2021 20:47

@Nats7504 I only hopped back on last night 🤣 I stopped DTD last week and had a rest until yesterday as I was sick of the lines not moving. So I haven't DTD in the lead up to ovulation but ohwell these few days will do now 🙈 can't wait to join you all in the tww feel like I'm missing out 🤣🤣 xx

Nats7504 · 08/06/2021 21:02

@Skl2021 hopped back on 🤣 what would the men think if they read how we talk about it. Mine thinks I’m we’ll up for it. If only he knew! Haha
Your last few OPK have looked fab so think you’re on the straight and narrow now. Come join us 🙌
I’ve had a shit day so opened the wine and sat in the garden on my own as DP is away🍷 XX

Skl2021 · 08/06/2021 21:11

@Nats7504 I'm not cut out for all this 🤣🤦 my oh would do it 24/7 I just want to sleep 🙊 get me in that tww I need a break haha 🤣 I'm still wrestling with my youngest to go to sleep! I will be asleep before him. And then sort uniforms and crap and then hop on it before I get some peace 🤣🙈 FML haha pass the wine 🤦 xx

Nats7504 · 08/06/2021 21:54

@Skl2021 you sound like you’ve had a busy day! Hope your little one is in bed now. Mine are at their dads so home alone tonight, absolute bliss 🙌
Mine is a sex addict too. He’s he happy with every night but I’m not. I like my sleep! Haha. How long have you been together? Xx
