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

@Skl2021 Yeah, I think I need to be proactive and get any help or advice regarding TTC. I’m 37 so time is not on my side 🙈 DP pushed for us to get tested as I think he thinks he’s the problem as I have had 2 children before him. He asked me where he gives his ‘sample’ in the surgery, at home etc. 🤣 I have no idea!
Surely you wouldn’t be due AF yet? Xx

@Nats7504 aww I hope there's nothing wrong for you 2! IV got another 6 months before I can go to the doctors. I pray it doesnt take that long 😣 stressing me out. And I shouldn't be no but I wouldn't put anything past my body the way it's been acting lately 🤦 just my luck. Want it over with now it's draggin and I just want to test test test 🙈🙈 xx

@Skl2021 Me too. I’d be gutted if we couldn’t have a baby. Fingers crossed everything is fine and it’s just going to take us longer 🤞
How long did it take you to conceive before? It’s defo put you through your paces this month that’s for sure 🙈 When are you due AF cause I know you ovulated later this month xx

@Nats7504 I'm sure it will be ok it takes some people a bit longer doesn't it. My first took 10 months! And I was only 21. Second was first time so thought it would happen that quick again but I was wrong 🤦🤣 my app is saying I'm due af a week on Sunday 🙈 cd 41!!!! Stupid cycle xx

Good morning ladies!!!

Sorry I am silent atm! Honestly me and stress do not go well together!!

@Nats7504 have you started investigations? I think it is class he is sooo proactive!! Hopefully it is nothing serious and your just gonna take a bit longer xx

@Skl2021 day 41 😳 has it been this long before?? Are you gonna test??

I am just finished AF so I will give it a week then start the opk!! Cycle 3 here I come! Xx

@Springflower3 how u doing now? Has the stress got any easier? I'm starting to go crazy now. 🙈🤣🤦 Yes I had an oddly long cycle back in January. Which was around 50 days. I think I will start to spot around 11 dpo anyway which is around cd 38 I never get to 14 dpo! Yes started testing already don't ask me why as its way to early 🤦 FML I'm addicted xx

Welcome back @Springflower3 Hope things have settled down your end and you’re feeling more zen ! Yay to AF leaving the building 🙌 You’ll be POAS and DTD before you know it. Cycle 3 here you come.

@Skl2021 It’s madness that it can take 1 month or 10 months, it’s the same body! Fingers crossed your time is coming. CD42 probably sounds about it right with you ovulating late this month. My spotting has increased so think AF will be here today or tomorrow which is bang in time.

I had a chat with the doctor and she said that she wouldn’t refer me or do any tests until I’d hit the 12 month mark (even though I’m over 35!) so have to wait until October. DP has his doctors appointment Wednesday so I’ll get him to say it’s been 12 months so he can get his swimmers checked! Xx

Hi!

I'm currently pregnant with number 3. It took us quite a while (around a year) but that was due to 3 miscarriages last year. I tracked ovulation with cheap test strips on amazon. These worked for me. Hope that helps!

Oh I know I am in the same boat it is such a worry!

@Nats7504 I usually spot around 11 dpo so I think I will be around cd 38 unless I'm pregnant which I highly doubt 🙈 not going to be that easy is it! Yes u think it would stay the same how can it be long for one child then one month for the other! 🤦How many days u been spotting for now? I presumed af arrived already 🤔 come on body get on with it if your coming!! So frustrating isn't it! That's pretty crap why 12 months?! Can't believe u have to wait again. I thought same as you and it was only 6 months! Yes tell oh to say a year then at least u can get the ball rolling his side. Xx

Ladies how are we holding up?????
I think I’m broken tbh 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ This cycle is up the fucking left!!!! Yest and this morning defo had a lot of ewcm took an opk….. and it’s quite strong but not positive? Took another there tonight and the line is gone! Wtaf is going on??? Xx

@Springflower3 Hi 👋 what cd are you? I know we get fluctuations of lh during cycle maybe it was that or are you near ovulation? I'm also loosing the plot this tww is driving me insane it's all I can think about I just need to know now!! Starting to get to me now I feel like I'm going crazy 🤦🤣🙊 xxx

Evening ladies, sorry I’ve been quiet. I couldn’t get onto Mumsnet over the weekend 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Springflower3 Sorry to hear your cycle is being a twat. Maybe your body is gearing up for ovulation? I know what you mean about things getting to you. I’ve had that the past few months. Hate that things are out of my control!

@Skl2021 How’s are things? AF kept away?

I’m on CD3, although it’s very light. My periods have never been heavy but I’m pretty much done. Xx

@Skl2021 are you not at the testing stage 😳😳 dam the tww! Your killing it though if you have t tested yet??? No spotting either! This could be the month! I really hope it is!!!
I’m cd 8… previous cycles I was getting my peaks at cd13 or 14 given the weird cycle this month and possible early ovulation Google says I’m peri menopausal 🤣🤣🤣 fml xx

@Nats7504 I'm doing alrite could be better 🤦🤣 I'm just like starting to go crazy now I'm so close. I just want to know 🙈 it's taking over me!! I have been testing like a mad women but there stark white but they will be as I'm still to early 🤣🙄 I'm 8 dpo and yep no spotting yet. Hmm bit of a weird one then have u taken a test just incase? With it being different to normal? Xx

@Springflower3 yes IV been testing since about 4 dpo 🤣🙈🤦 I need serious help! I'm loosing my mind this month 🙄 spotting usually starts around 11 dpo so few more days to go 😩😩
You still have a good few days then hopefully it comes back 🤣🙊 shit when our bodies throw a curve ball! And get off google 🤣 that will tell you anything! ! Xx

@Skl2021 Bless you, it was stressful enough getting to ovulation after your fertile fortnight according to your OPKs 🙈 I wouldn’t pay attention to the negative pregnancy tests, you’re still very early. You’re still in the game until AF arrives 🙌
I haven’t tested as it was still red so defo a period but starting to worry that light periods means I’m going through early menopause ( Googling like @Springflower3!) 🤦🏻‍♀️ Xx

@Nats7504 omg what are youse like?! Both of ya get off google now 🤦 pull them big girl panties back up and get back on that horse 🐎 🤣 I might try a Google search and see if i can qualify for the early menopause group aswell 🙈🤣. I don't have sore boobs this month which I normally do 🤔. Xx

@Nats7504 lol I didn’t even see you had written a reply!!! Your as bad as me with the googling!!! It could just be a one off having a light flow?? Something you prob wouldn’t notice until your ttc 🙈🙈
Cd8??? @Skl2021 I defo thought you were closer than that!! It’s strange how we are all at different stages now!! How’s the symptom spotting??

I am hoping it was a strange surge and not menopause 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve no other signs of the bloody menopause 🤣🤣 xx

@Springflower3 it's crazy how I started this cycle first and I'm still stuck in it 🤣 you 2 have cracked on to the next one! No symptoms at all so not very hopeful. I think it will be a strange surge don't worry!! Xx

@Skl2021 You’re enjoying the process so much you’re extending it 🤣🤣🤣 Our AF was so eager they turned up early! 🙄 You watch this being your month and you’ll be able to tell your child how they were a fucker before conception!!!
@Springflower3 My periods have been light since I had the coil taken out. Can’t remember what they were like before as I hadn’t had one for 5 years! Xx

@Nats7504 nooo! The process is testing me now 🤣 I'm really going insane don't know how I will get through the next few days. I'm on the edge now 🤦 I hope it is my month but I don't think it is 🙈 soon see won't we 👀🙊 wish my periods were light always had heavy ones and painful xx

@Nats7504 sooo we can safely say you aren’t going through the menopause if this is your new normal 🤣🤣 what cd did you ovulate last month?
@Skl2021 😜😜 your nearly there now! If you have no symptoms either way then your still in for a chance!
My opk was standard for this time…. But I’m still concerned that I missed my peak? Time will tell 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I ovulated cd13/14 last month xx

@springflower3 did you DTD just incase? Would be very early for ovulation so hopefully u haven't missed it 🤞🤞 I took another test this morning and bfn!! 🤣🤦 I'm not feeling it tho. 😩 Would be too easy to happen 🙄 xx

Morning everyone. Happy Monday! 😊 I’m sat in my pjs working on the kitchen table. How glam is WFH 🤣

@Springflower3 Yeah I guess it’s the new norm but Mr Google has mentioned I’m menopausal so it must be right. I have a regular 27/28 day cycle and ovulate around CD13/14. Maybe you’ll double peak this month?! Twinnies. 😂 Hope you DTD just incase.

@Skl2021 You’re nearing the end, not long to go until you find out either way! Xx
