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 hope u had a lovely day working from home u rock them pyjamas 🤣🙌 Not much to update still hanging on 🤦🙈😩 another day nearly down! Running low on tests now so need to save them 🤦🤣Xx

Springflower3 · 22/06/2021 08:26

@Nats7504 I’m not going lie, I’m a little jealous you can work in your pjs!!! Wearing scrubs though can feel as comfortable as pjs but the having to run around takes away from that 🤣🤣🤣
@Skl2021 what day are you now???? I’m so nervous for you! Fingers crossed!!
I am now cd10 and my opk are getting darker 🙈🙈 the shagathon is about to begin again 🤮🤮 xx

Skl2021 · 22/06/2021 08:55

@Springflower3 yey! So u didn't miss it! Haha I don't envy you right now 🤣 good old shaggathon here you come!! Good luck!! 🤣🙈 I'm 10 dpo today. Starting to get to the wire now and I'm bricking it 🤣🤦 I did a test a bfn so not hopeful lol. I usually start spotting around 10/11 so I will be checking every time I go to the toilet 🙌😩 pray for me 🤞🙊 xx

Springflower3 · 22/06/2021 09:18

Oh @Skl2021 my fingers are well and truly crossed! So if you make it through today and tomorrow your flying! Do you have any cramps etc? Xx

Nats7504 · 22/06/2021 09:40

Morning!

@Skl2021 I barely get dressed up anymore. WFH has made me become a slob 🤣 i sport a lounge set and mum bun most of the week and even do the school run that way. Thank god I don’t have to get out the car anymore 🙈 Fingers crossed the spotting doesn’t appear and the lines appear on them tests soon! 🤞 When are you due AF?

@Springflower3 Yay to shaggathon week, bet you can’t wait 🤣🤣 Here’s to cycle 3 being your lucky one! 🙌

AF has officially left the building and I’m currently CD5. Going to try and DTD more regular throughout my cycle instead of just FW as our sex life has diminished since TTC. Need to relax and try and go with the flow more. We’re onto cycle 8/9 now and I’m going to ‘try’ and be a bit more relaxed this month and see whether that works 🤷🏻‍♀️ Xx

Skl2021 · 22/06/2021 10:23

@springflower3 I'm hoping I make it past tomorrow but don't want to get my hopes up yet I'm so close yet so far. My body could just throw a long lp!! The way it's been behaving. Had a few cramps here and there but nothing out the ordinary. My cm has dried up to nothing which I don't think is normal. And my boobs arnt hurting which they Normally do. Don't want to think too much into it and get my hopes up tho 😩🤞 have u got a plan for your shaggathon?! U gonna try everyday like I did 🤣🙊
@nats7504 morning 🙌 u sound chirpy 🤣 haha I stay in jamas and mum bun too 🙌 my hair is unruly and don't know what to do with it 🤦 due AF on Sunday according to the app but don't usually make it to 14 dpo xx

Skl2021 · 22/06/2021 15:27

@Nats7504 @Springflower3 I'm positive I'm out 😩 blood when I wipe. I'm absolutely heartbroken 😭 xx

Nats7504 · 22/06/2021 15:31

@Skl2021 I was perky this morning, a day in work sorted that out for me. Roll on 5pm!

Oh no 😔 how many DPO are you? That’s pretty early if you’re not due until Sunday. Could it be implantation? Xx

Skl2021 · 22/06/2021 15:34

@Nats7504 I'm 10 dpo. Iv started spotting at this time on previous month's. Just had a really positive feeling this month and now IV come down to earth with a bang. Never get implantation so doubt it's that. Currently crying into my icecream 😭😭 ttc is HARD 😔 xx

Nats7504 · 22/06/2021 16:50

@Skl2021 Big hugs lovely 🤗 it’s so shit when you’ve put so much time and energy into the month and it doesn’t work. It’s disheartening and heartbreaking at the same time. We’ve just got to dust ourselves off and get ready for the next month. Surely we’ve got to be near our BFP!!! I’m getting impatient xx

Skl2021 · 22/06/2021 21:02

@Nats7504 thankyou 🤗 I need it I'm an emotional mess! I have been handling it pretty well but this month has just hit me so much harder 😭. IL be ok once IV had my cry and get af out the way! Yes I hope we do too how much longer do we need to wait! 💖 Xx

Springflower3 · 23/06/2021 08:05

@Skl2021 sorry I am only seeing this now! How are you today? It’s shit, you have been so strong until now and you will continue to be! I know you will shake this off and get ready for next cycle 🥰 your allowed to have a few days of feeling low so give yourself that time to build up the positive vibes xx

Skl2021 · 23/06/2021 08:56

@Springflower3 I'm doing better. Getting my head round it. I'm bleeding more now so might start today as cd 1. It doesn't normally affect me I just think this month I had such a strong surge and I DTD like every night and it killed me I was just hopefull. So here we go again 🙄👀 thankyou for the support of you and @Nats7504 lovely to speak to others who understand 💖 xxx

Springflower3 · 23/06/2021 10:17

@Skl2021 we are all in this together and it’s nice to know there is others in the same boat! Any one I talk to in RL give me the whole ‘it takes time’ and ‘it will happen eventually’ ‘if you relax it will happen’ and tbh they are not helpful!!! So we will be here until the bitter end supporting you when you need it most 🥰🥰
How long was this cycle for you? Xx

Skl2021 · 23/06/2021 10:23

@Springflower3 oh yes if only it was that easy 🤣🙈 don't want to be waiting years for it to happen 🤦 and I can't relax 😂 this cycle was longer think it was around 38 days 🙄 so it's different every month. It's been 49, 28, 31,39 can't remember the others 😂 no particular pattern. So don't know when ovulation will be again 🤔 xx

Nats7504 · 23/06/2021 13:36

@Skl2021 we all have months like that. Some months are easier than others. You were invested in the cycle and it’s horrible when it doesn’t work out.
I haven’t told anyone that we’re trying and it’s a good job really as it’s taking longer than I thought it would. DP is currently on his way to collect his sample pot 🙈 at least his surgery has started the testing process. Mine literally told me we don’t refer really until 18 months - 2 years but call back when you’ve hit 12 months.
Has AF properly arrived now? Xx

Skl2021 · 23/06/2021 13:44

@Nats7504 yes I put my all in this month don't know if I will do that again 😩 no one knows that were trying either. I wish we started last year now but with covid we held off! At least u might know about dp soon then good things are moving his side. Bit shit your side tho another year of waiting that's ridiculous I hope it happens naturally for you and your not waiting that long!! 🤞🤞 We need some bfp surely soon?! Nope hasn't started properly still spotting but it's a tad heavier. Usually starts like this tho xx

Springflower3 · 23/06/2021 14:09

@Nats7504 how can they justify 18mths to 2 years???? What about going private?? It is positive that his surgery is willing to check him… because it will be a relief to him if all is good! Plus it might give you positive vibes that it will happen naturally 😬😬
@Skl2021 cd 1…. I hope and pray that this cycle is shorter for you!! Are you gonna test every day as your unsure of when you will o??
I am due to o in about 2 days time…. Tbh we aren’t really putting as much effort in this month…. With all that is going on… DP is scared if I was pregnant the stress wouldn’t be good for me or baby! But ye know that not to say we aren’t going to shag it out… maybe every other day 🤣🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 23/06/2021 15:31

@Springflower3 yes we'll IV put cd 1 as today. Still haven't come on properly but it's starting. Hope its soon then I can get it over with 🤦 I will probably start testing around day 12 again as I don't know when it will be 🙈 I think I'm going to start b6 this cycle see if it does anything. And maybe see if there's anything for bringing ovulation forward? Hahah get doing it every day fully embrace the shaggathon!! 😂 Can't believe your nearly in the tww and I'm just starting af 🤦 stupid long cycles!! X

Nats7504 · 23/06/2021 16:27

@Springflower3 God knows how different surgeries can have different rules. I’m going back after a year if nothing has happened. So DP has his pot and needs to ring to make an appointment to hand it in. I laughed when he gave me the instructions 🤣 he said he basically needs to have a dry wank after at least a 48 hour abstinence. Sounds delightful 🙈 I’m on CD6 so FW is next week so my shaggathon will be commencing 🙌

@Skl2021 Hopefully she’ll shift her arse, arrive and promptly leave. Hope you’re feeling a bit better. We’ve got this and we’ll all get out BFP soon. We just need to be patient , and as I keep reminding myself it can take up to a year! Xx

Skl2021 · 24/06/2021 09:01

@Nats7504 good morning!! Af has arrived in force 🤦🙈 absolute agony. Can't wait for her to fuck off already 🤣 yes I think my patience has packed it's bags and gone! It took nearly a year with my first so I should be used to it 😂🤞 you getting all prepped for fw? 🙊 Xx

Springflower3 · 24/06/2021 22:01

Aww @Skl2021 hope your not in too much pain??? Did you have chocolate and wine today??

@Nats7504 how did the dry wank go?? 🙈🙈

Girls my cycle is up the left and I’m having a melt down 😞😞 I’m not going to ovulate when I thought…… I just don’t know what’s going on 😢😢 I have attached the pics….. the one with peak was last months xx

Skl2021 · 24/06/2021 22:08

@springflower3 I was in agony this morning but its usual for me hate it. I will battle on 🤦🤣 wow your cycle is very up and down. Seems to be one high then one low 🤔🤦 your this morning one was dark wonder if youve missed the peak in between that one and tonights? Xx

Springflower3 · 25/06/2021 03:10

@Skl2021 does the pain last one day? Keep positive! As soon as AF is over you can plan your attack for this cycle!! It will happen, Mother Nature is just being a dick atm 🤣🤣
It is melting my brain tbh! I don’t know what is going on and I’m thinking this could be a longer cycle and my body is just gonna have all these surges and have non starts? What if I am ovulating 😞😞 ffs 😞 xx

Nats7504 · 25/06/2021 08:20

Morning ladies!! It’s Friyay 💃🏻 woop!

@Skl2021 I’m sorry to hear AF is here full force and is being an utter bitch. Hope the cramps have settled down. Let’s dust ourselves off and onwards and upwards. Next month could be out months, could have us all a March/April baby! Spring 🌺

@Springflower3 I’ve never used them apps and I would’ve classed them darker ones as my peak. Maybe I’m missing ovulation every month 🙈 you’re going to have to keep up with the shaggathon for a little while longer 🙈

I’m on CD8 and coming into FW next week, we had sex just for the sake of sex the other night. Forgot how nice it was not to have to concentrate on dates etc. He hasn’t done his test yet as they offered next week but it’s FW and we have to abstain for at least 48 hours so he’s booked in for the week after xx
