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 @Springflower3 just took another and it's about the same so IL see what tomorrow brings now hopefully in the right direction 🙈🤞 I'm so jealous that you two are near testing got everything crossed for youse!! 😁 Xx

Springflower3 · 10/06/2021 20:18

@Nats7504 I am 10dpo tomorrow 🙈🙈 should I hold off testing to the weekend??? Yea you have another few days... what is your early symptoms in pregnancy??
@Skl2021 does that mean your surge is still on going then?? That’s impressive!! Maybe 2 eggs will release this time which will double your chance 😬😬 xx

Skl2021 · 10/06/2021 20:23

@Springflower3 haha I'm not sure is it not meant to stay for this long? How long did yours last? I'm sure it will be gone by tomorrow 🤔🤣 just want to get in the tww with you both 😩 taking forever. Probably get my period in a few days knowing my body 🤦🙈 xx

Nats7504 · 10/06/2021 20:31

@Skl2021 sounds like you’re still in your peak. Mine last just over 24 hours and then started to fade. Your body just keeps on giving. As @Springflower3 said, might be 2 eggs this month!
I have no idea what my symptoms were as my youngest is 11 so was a long time ago 🙈 Why don’t you do one tomorrow and if it’s positive yay! 🎉 if it’s not at least you can have a glass of wine in the sun over the weekend xx

Springflower3 · 10/06/2021 20:44

@Nats7504 I don’t know if I could cope with a bfn 🙈🙈 but I prob will... it’s just an Asda test I have but it says you can use it 4 days before AF 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Xx

Nats7504 · 10/06/2021 20:52

@Springflower3 I know what you mean. My months are mixed, sometimes I take the BFN well and others i don’t. I try not to think about it and we’ve oddly stopped talking about it just incase it doesn’t happen. Xx

Springflower3 · 10/06/2021 20:55

@Nats7504 we are exactly the same!!! We don’t mention it at all..... except when he had a drink last weekend and mentioned he would go get his sperm checked if nothing happens in 4 months!
I can’t remember if you have said you will visit the GP? I think not talking about it, help ease some pressure? Like life goes on? Xx

Skl2021 · 10/06/2021 20:58

@Nats7504 haha I would be so lucky! Struggling to get one egg to work. Taking it's time isn't it! 🤦
@springflower3 if it's to much testing then wait your so close now 🤞 I wish I had more patience and could wait it out. Once I start testing then I can't stop 🙈😩 xx

Nats7504 · 10/06/2021 21:02

@Springflower3 I think it’s a coping mechanism to stop ourselves from getting upset. I don’t want to think of a life without us having a baby together. Yeah, if we’re not lucky this month (cycle 7) then I’ll make an appointment to get us both checked. No point burying our heads in the samd if there’s something wrong. If they can help I need to jump on it ASAP! Xx

Springflower3 · 11/06/2021 05:36

Morning ladies, tested this morning and of course it was a bfn! Not even a squinter in sight 😞 so do I take that as final? I feel it is cause my symptoms for AF are so strong now! Upwards and onwards to new cycle I suppose!!
@Skl2021 did you dtd last night 🙈🙈
@Nats7504 yea your just right and most times it is something that can be fixed and then you will fall really quickly! Xx

Skl2021 · 11/06/2021 09:15

Happy Friday ladies!! Hope it's a good one 😜 @Springflower3 it's still early don't give up yet! Your only using cheapie tests aswell. I'm gonna keep routing for ya 🤞🤞 yes I DTD again 🙈 think I need to borrow @Nats7504 baby lube 🤣🤦 it's like the Sahara down there don't know how I will keep going. 🙈 Xx

Skl2021 · 11/06/2021 10:08

@Nats7504 @Springflower3 just took another might be even darker I don't even know at this point 🙈🤣 I'm off to work now so will do another when I'm home see if it's lightened 🤔 il attach the picture. Xx

Trying for baby number 3
Nats7504 · 11/06/2021 11:02

Morning ladies. Happy Friyay 🎉

@Springflower3 How early do you get up woman?! Sorry it was negative, when are you due in? Might be worth getting a FRER as everyone raves about them. Did you hear anything about your job?

@Skl2021 I mean WTAF 😳 it’s bloody darker!!! What is your body playing at. You’ve been permanently peaking for a month. That egg just doesn’t want to leave, maybe she’s waiting for her perfect Prince Charming sperm to arrive?! 🤣 Get yourself some fertile lube and you won’t be like the Sahara, believe me! It’s like slip and slide central! 🙈 xx

Springflower3 · 11/06/2021 11:19

@Skl2021 hundred percent that’s darker! I’m
Pretty sure it’s a dye stealer!!!! Does this usually happen? Cause last month you stopped earlier!?? This could toll be your month cause your keeping at it 😬😬😬😬
🤣🤣🤣 the alarm goes off at 5am and I was keen to get it over with! I am 10dpo AF due on Tuesday 🤷‍♀️ would it be to early for an Asda early detection test??? It says 4 days early! Tbh I’m to right to pay out for one until AF is due 🤣🤣
Any plans for the weekend?? Xx
Oh yes!!! I got it 😬😬😬 look at me being promoted 🤣 better maternity pay 🤣🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 11/06/2021 13:51

@Nats7504 @Springflower3 I just want it to end now 🤣🙈 I'm completely knackered with constantly DTD. Had enough 😩 I don't think IV ever seen this before normally get a peak and then it goes and yes I thought it was a dye stealer 🤔 hahaha slip and slide 🤣 I need that ATM! Don't know how u can get up at 5 that would kill me off I'm not a morning person! Congratulations on the job aswell 🎉🎉❤️❤️ xx

Nats7504 · 11/06/2021 13:56

@Springflower3 5am?! Jeez. I’d be in bed before the kids. I’m a terrible sleeper and it takes me ages to get to sleep. When do you start work? Congrats on the job!! Yay 🙌
@Skl2021 I’d be pulling my hair out and asking for him to finish in a cup and I’ll syringe it in 🤣 No way could I do it that much, my poor fajita is cringing at the thought 🙈
No plans this weekend really apart from the boys football. BBQ and a jobs weekend I think. You guys? XX

Skl2021 · 11/06/2021 14:07

@Nats7504 I'm at that point now. Last night I just did not want to do it I was just like hurry up and get it done 🤣🙈🤦 it's actually put me off for life 🤣 IV got work tomorrow and probably won't go far on Sunday it will be shoppy and tidy house I guess 🤣 so exciting!! Haha xx

Nats7504 · 11/06/2021 18:31

@Skl2021 the romance was in full force then 🙈 the quicker the better love! Fingers crossed you’ve covered yourself this month, you’re in with a good chance with all that sperm in you, probably higher volumes than blood at this point 🤣
Boo on working at the weekend. At least you’re off Sunday as it’s meant to be hot! We won’t leave the house as DP is ginger and therefore burns in the shade 🙄 xx

Skl2021 · 11/06/2021 18:51

@Nats7504 romance what romance! 🤣 Yes I'm sure in covered but don't think it will work I'm around cd 26 now which is late for ovulation 😩 but can only try! Yes its stupidly hot at work aswell knocks me sick 🙈 don't wna go already haha! Awww 🤣🤣 haha I shouldn't laugh I burn very easy aswel 🙊 can't stand the heat tbh. Xx

Springflower3 · 11/06/2021 23:02

@Skl2021 fingers crossed you get a lighter opk tomorrow 😬😬 aww what time you working tomorrow?? You won’t have sexual until the next fw now 🤣🤣🤣
@Nats7504 when are you gonna start testing?
Girls I’m feeling rough as fuck tonight! I am soooo tired but can’t sleep, when I move my boobs hurt and I honestly feel like I have been knocked over by truck so I must be coming down with something 🤕🤕 xx

Skl2021 · 11/06/2021 23:07

@Springflower3 I took another just before and it's still the same 🤦🤣 when will this end. I'm in from 9 until whenever they let me leave 🤣 hoping it won't be full day. 🤞 Tbh this has put me off completely I don't want to do it ever again 🤣🙈 feeling rough is also a good sign!! Are u testing tomorrow? Hope your not Ill tho 😣 xx

Nats7504 · 12/06/2021 10:41

Morning ladies. How are we all today? It’s bloody warm. Still in my pjs and staring at the mess that is my house but really can’t be arsed to clean it!
@Skl2021 How the testing going.. has the line got lighter? Did you DTD last night to cover yourself? DP burns in the shade in 12 degrees 🤣 So he’ll be panting with the dog in the house all weekend.
@Springflower3 Sorry to hear you feel like shit 😔 Are you feeling better today? I don’t want to say it but they sound like preggo symptoms to me and not AF related.
I’m only 7DPO, god this 2WW is dragging!!! No plans to test and I have none in the house. Don’t feel very confident this month xx

Springflower3 · 12/06/2021 10:48

Morning ladies, on a pure downer two frer and it is negative 😞 so I’m really disappointed as I know I’m defo out xx

Nats7504 · 12/06/2021 15:40

@Springflower3 Aww lovely, sorry to hear the FRER was negative 😔 it’s so disheartening when you know you’ve done everything. But there’s always next month. It’s only been 2 cycles so you’re really early into your TTC journey, it will happen lovely. Keep the faith xx
