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

@Skl2021 I bet it was. It was pretty warm today. Glad you got out to enjoy the rest of the evening. Yay from graduating from peak to high 🙌 hopefully you can have a rest from the big D. I respect the dedication as I think I would’ve given up by now. 🙈
My sisters come over for the night so the Prosecco has been opened and we’re sitting outside, albeit with our coats as it’s bloody chilly xx

Springflower3 · 12/06/2021 20:27

Woohoo @Skl2021 for moving down to high!!! You have more than covered this month there no doubt!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I’m jealous of you guys! It’s cold here but certainly I needed a jacket today! It’s windy ffs!!
Thanks @Nats7504 I suppose I was just getting my own hopes up with feeling so shitty!!! Of course I am googling the reliability of frer at 11dpo to see if I am still in for chance and OF course I am considering the fact that I may only be 10dpo depending on when I ovulated because my peak this month wasn’t the clear peak I had previously and I just stopped in cd 14 thinking that was me!! I just feel so different! Like I’m not cramping at all! My boobs so sore and I’m dizzy! But this could alllll be AF which it is obviously because I would have had a faint line realistically!!
I will just be depending on you two now to get BFP!! Come on girls!! Xx

Nats7504 · 12/06/2021 22:09

@Springflower3 it’s odd that you’re feeling so shitty and getting a BFN. Maybe it’s the pill finally coming out of your system? Until AF arrives then their is still hope.
Every month that goes by effect you, You question everything and feel shit about yourself and think why is my body not playing ball. You’re still new into this and hormones are still in your system. I would not worry lovely xx

Skl2021 · 12/06/2021 22:56

@Springflower3 I'm so glad to be nearly done I'm not doing this again!! If it doesn't work next month will not be happening like this 🤦 I'm scarred for life 🤣 hope your not beating yourself up too much. Your still in with a chance. It's a hard journey ttc when it doesn't happen how u want it to. Keep your head up ❤️
@nats7504 this month has been so testing I don't think I would ever do this again it's killed me. The thought of doing it again tonight makes me want to vom 🤣🙊 hope the prosecco has gone down well 💃🥂 xx

Springflower3 · 13/06/2021 08:32

How we doing this morning ladies???
@Skl2021 today you can at least relax and commence your tww, I’m routing for you this month!! 😬😬
@Nats7504 when you gonna start testing??
My AF arrived this morning 😕 I’m concerned it is 2/3 days early as this would make me having a 26 day cycle 😞 with 11 days of luteal phase…. My understanding is that, that’s not great??? My panicking now tbh as last month it was 27 days so it’s getting shorter 😢 xx

Skl2021 · 13/06/2021 08:55

Hey guys 👋 @Springflower3 I'm so glad I'm done 😭 well unless I need to do it again tonight 🤔🤣 if this doesn't work then nothing will 🤦 I wouldn't be too concerned I think it's under 9 isn't it that isn't good? And your body is still getting in a routine I'm sure u will be fine. Mine is still messing up with different lengths and days. Don't let it stress you out 😘 sorry af got you aswell I was really hopeful for you this month! But onwards and upwards to the next keep the faith 🤞
@nats7504 did you have a good night 🥂 what dpo are you? Any symptoms yet? Xx

Springflower3 · 13/06/2021 09:00

@Skl2021 how your DP coping with all the sex 🤣🤣🤣 when was your peak? Surely there is enough little swimmers in there!! 🙈 like it wouldn’t do any harm I suppose 🤣🤣
Im trying to put it down to stress? I have had a tough 2 weeks with personal stuff (not Dp related) so I’m thinking it can knock you off as well? Xx

Skl2021 · 13/06/2021 09:08

@Springflower3 yes stress will mess with it. See how this month goes if it starts to get shorter and shorter then I would start to worry but hopefully it's a one off 🤞 u will have reached ovulation again before I hit af! 🤣🤦 Stupid long cycle. My app says ovulation yesterday so still saying high conception rate 🤣🤔 my first peak reading was around 4 days ago so I'm not sure what's happening maybe I ovulated earlier than app is saying?! Never had a peak that long 🙈 I'm cd 28 today so think it's to late anyway 🤦 xx

Skl2021 · 15/06/2021 15:43

@Springflower3 @Nats7504 hope everyone is doing alrite gone a bit silent on here 🤣🤦 I want to test already 🙈 this tww is going to kill me off 🙊 xx

Nats7504 · 15/06/2021 20:26

@Skl2021 Hey lovely! How are you? Hope you had a good weekend.
Nothing much happened my end, my sister ended up staying the whole weekend so lots of food, wine and laughs, which lifted my spirits as I’d been feeling a bit flat. Have you stopped POAS now? Xx

Skl2021 · 15/06/2021 21:07

@Nats7504 yes I'm alrite. Already counting down the days I'm itching to test 🤣🤦 I stopped testing day after ovulation. Think IV used a full pack this month anyway 👀 aww that sounds good I would of loved having a sister 🥂 what dpo are you now? Xx

nicole301 · 15/06/2021 21:51

Just wondering with the OPK is there a 'best' time of day to test?
I know that you should test the same time each day but just wondered if I would get more accurate results morning or evening ?

Springflower3 · 16/06/2021 09:15

Hey ladies! Sorry I’ve just had a load of shit going on, stressed out and I think the stress has defo impacted my cycle this month cause apparently it can stop your body producing certain hormones etc etc! Im all over the place in terms of head space! My DP has said he wants me to relax and concentrate on ttc as it is more important than the other shit so he is trying to help me out etc!

@Skl2021 how many dpo are you?
@Nats7504 surely you are close to testing?? I’m excited to see if this your month!!
@nicole301 I think it depends, like I will test with smu as I think I get the best result but others will say they get the best result in the afternoon! So if in doubt test twice a day 🤣🤣 which tests are you using?? Xx

nicole301 · 16/06/2021 09:26

@Springflower3 oh no, I hope your week gets less stressful.

Clear blue ones

Skl2021 · 16/06/2021 12:29

@Springflower3 good to hear from you! Sorry your having a stressful time hope it passes soon 🤞 if only your oh knew the stress ttc is 🤦it's not as easy as just relaxing. It will happen when it's time don't put more pressure on yourself ❤️ I'm 4 dpo and it's draggin I may have took a test already 👀🙊🙈 I have issues!!!
@nicole301 does it not say in the instructions. Different tests have different times to test I thought clearblue where first morning urine. The ones I'm using ATM are afternoon xx

nicole301 · 16/06/2021 12:31

@Skl2021 I'll have another read through thanks

Nats7504 · 16/06/2021 12:46

@Skl2021 You’ve put 110% in this month that’s for sure! 🤣 you deserve a medal 🥇 Have you been near DH since your shaggathon? You’ll get your opportunity to POAS soon, what DPO are you now? I have 2 sisters, one live up north with me and the other lives down south with my family. Do you have any siblings?
@Springflower3 Sorry to hear you’ve been having a shit time. I hope it passes soon and you can relax a bit. They say stress effects TTC, probably why I’m struggling as I’ve been a proper stress head lately 🙈
I think I’m 11DPO and due AF on Saturday. I’ve not tested as been spotting the last few days so think I’m out.. again 😫 xx

Nats7504 · 16/06/2021 12:47

@nicole301 I usually test about midday and if I do 2 in a day the other around 7pm xx

Skl2021 · 16/06/2021 13:25

@Nats7504 haha yes I will take that medal 🥇 that was some work!! Haha no I'm keeping well away thankyou! IV had enough of that 🤢 I'm 4 dpo and I took a test today. Don't ask me why. I'm a crazy person don't know why I did something in my head told me too. Obviously pointless. But hey ttc does crazy shit to you 🤦 yes I have a brother who lives a couple of hours away from me but he's 7 years younger. Would of loved to have a sister! I'm close to my oh's sisters tho. Xx

Nats7504 · 16/06/2021 14:45

@Skl2021 I don’t blame you. That sounded like a slog but you got the job done like a champ. So what that medal with pride 🙌
Did you really? 🤣 I like the dedication to the POAS obsession. You gave yourself a few days off and now swapping OPKs for pregnancy ones 🤣
I’ve stopped using them now as they’re always stark white. So disheartening! My spotting has started increasing so guessing AF shortly, I’m only CD25 so she’s turning up early to her own fucking party!! 😳 xx

Skl2021 · 16/06/2021 15:10

@Nats7504 yes I have an obsession this month is really getting to me and taking over my life 🤦 if it doesn't work I'm going to be heartbroken I can feel it already. Yes it does hurt when there stark white but there's always a bit in my head saying it might be tomorrow 🙈🤣 sorry hear that shit isn't it when our bodies don't do as there told. At least I'm not on my own with a stupid cycle. Drives me insane. Why can't they just behave?! IL probably start spotting early too 🙄 like every other month. Xx

Nats7504 · 16/06/2021 21:13

@Skl2021 it’s so easy to get invested in it though when you’ve put everything into the month. I was like that the month I did SMEG, I was gutted when AF showed up. This month I didn’t do much as I’ve lost heart in it. I’m sure I’ll get it back but it defo gets harder as the months go on to take it on the chin. My spotting is off and on but I don’t dare even let my mind go to it being implantation bleeding as I can’t deal with the upset when it’s just bloody AF 🙄 xx

Skl2021 · 16/06/2021 22:02

@Nats7504 yes I feel like iv wasted this half of the year already with ttc your always wishing the next cycle on just on one continuous loop 🤦 need something else to occupy me! Oh no your body is really messing with you. If it is af then why can't it just hurry up and arrive instead of messing around!! Our body can be so cruel at times. I'm trying not to get my hopes up to be crushed. Can't wait to get this tww over with. Xx

Nats7504 · 17/06/2021 09:19

@Skl2021 I know what you mean, I had my coil taken out in October 2020! Never thought it would take this long. I’ve booked a doctors appointment and so has DP to get things checked out. I need to know one way or the other if something is wrong. 🤦🏻‍♀️
How are you feeling today? I hope you get your BFP this month!! Xx

Skl2021 · 17/06/2021 11:46

@Nats7504 that's positive that you have taken the steps! At least now u might get answers if something is wrong. Hope your not waiting too long! I'm feeling a bit iffy today. Tummy is a bit off and getting weird periody pains 🤦🙈 haven't got much hope. Xx
