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

We won’t get the chance until about 9pm tonight 😞 it will be too late by then…. Unless I haven’t actually peaked yet… I’ve brought an opk to work just to check what is going on 🤣🤣 I’m cd 18 which was normal for me before pill so dear knows tbh! I’m glad I didn’t use the clear blue this morning or I would have missed it!
How long you gonna wait @Skl2021? Have you stocked up on the cheapies?? Xx

Skl2021 · 30/06/2021 09:07

@Springflower3 I would say it will go higher than the pic won't it? Hopefully your still peaking and you get a chance tonight 🤞🤞 yes I have ordered them just waiting for them to arrive 😂 I will test as soon as I get them 🤣🤦 just incase u never know 🙊🤔 xx

Springflower3 · 30/06/2021 09:23

@Skl2021 I took it there now and it is slightly lower so the app is saying I peaked this morning 😞😞 I’ve missed it! I bloody missed it!!!!! Unless the coffee I drunk diluted it 😞 fuck this month is a mess!!
Aww hopefully they arrive to day! Then the testing commences! What cd are you? Xx

Skl2021 · 30/06/2021 09:34

@Springflower3 maybe try one more when u can and hold off the liquids just incase that one was diluted? U could still hit the window as u might not ovulate until 24 hours after your peak? So I would still give it a try! It's worth a shot even if u can't do it until tonight u might still be before ovulation! 🤞🤞 Well I'm cd 8 🤦 so way to early. My app says I will ovulate in 9 days. Always puts my ovulation on cd 17 for some reason even though it never happens then 🤣🙈 xx

Springflower3 · 30/06/2021 10:13

I had plans tonight @Skl2021 but DP had hinted at cancelling them 🤣🤣🤣 he actually asked why I didn’t tell him sooner? Emm because I didn’t know ffs like yest line was barely there but I suppose if I had tested twice yest I would have known 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
Lol you never know! Your cycles like to keep you on your toes 🤣🤣 xx

Nats7504 · 30/06/2021 10:37

Morning ladies! 😊 Happy hump day to you all 🙌

@Springflower3 That’s a good peak and glad you finally got it. DTD tonight and you’re still in with a chance. You ovulate 12-36 hours after the peak and the egg is waiting for 24 hours. Cancel them plans and get on the D! 🤣

@Skl2021 CD8 already? God that week went quick, well for me it did 🙈 You’ll be in shaggathon week before you know it!

I’m CD 13 today so ovulation is imminent, should get my peak hopefully today or tomorrow. We’ve DTD the past 2 nights so hopefully we’ve covered ourselves. I hope I don’t ovulate later as DP can’t have sex after Friday due to giving a sample on the Monday 🙈 XX

Skl2021 · 30/06/2021 15:18

@Springflower3 so my tests came today and I did one hardly anything there but I was expecting that 🤣🙈 and there absolutely shit! Extremely thin 🤦 that will teach me!
@Nats7504 good afternoon! Yes gone quick for me too but now it's the long wait until the big o!! 🤦🙈 Which takes forever! Are you tests getting dark now? Yes I think u will be covered! Wish mine came round that quick 🤔🙄 xx

Springflower3 · 30/06/2021 15:48

Plans have been cancelled!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I defo have ewcm which wasn’t there yest so I’m thinking does you get this before you ovulate or what?
I’m really hoping I haven’t missed it since the ewcm only showed up there this morning??

Aww @Skl2021 was really light? It could darken over the next few days though?? Just dtd every other night and you will be grand 🙈🙈 fingers crossed for you!!

@Nats7504 I’m so jealous of your sex life! Honestly you guys are so cute! You both want this so bad! Is he nervous about his test though? Xx

Skl2021 · 30/06/2021 16:32

@Springflower3 yes ewcm is a good sign!! Go jump oh 🤣🙊 hopefully u will still catch it!! Yes really light and shit tests don't show great anyway I'm not expecting it for a few weeks yet so no rush for me yet 🙌 xx

Nats7504 · 30/06/2021 17:44

@Skl2021 What are you like testing already 🤣🤣 You’ll be moaning when that peak shows and you have to jump back on the D 😂 I’ve been using home bargain ones, think it’s £3 for 5 so should really invest in some amazon beauties!

@Springflower3 Don’t be jealous of our sex life, it’s nothing romantic. TTC has killed that! I’ve just taken my 2nd OPK of the day and my peak hasn’t come yet 🤦🏻‍♀️ It better come tomorrow otherwise we won’t be able to DTD. He’s a little nervous as he assumes it’s him with me already having kids but to be honest I think it’s my old eggs 🥚 XX

Skl2021 · 30/06/2021 18:09

@Nats7504. Well I think I'm officially addicted🤣 I knew it wouldn't show anything but it doesnt stop me 🙈 haha I don't have to worry about the d for a while 🙌 are they they stick ones or strip ones? Mine are absolutely crap 😂 IV used poundshop ones in the past there not terrible xx

Think I'm up the duff!!

Skl2021 · 30/06/2021 21:12

Congratulations!! @toadstool32 lovely strong positives 🎉🎉

Nats7504 · 30/06/2021 21:16

@Skl2021 I think you might be 🙈 the lines will appear before you know it!! Then the shaggathon will commence! 🤣

They are in a casing, much like a pregnancy test. I should order some. I only tend to use a few a month but worried I’m missing it if I have a second peak like some people do so should test more.

I’m still in shaggathon heaven and will be at it again tonight. That peak better come tomorrow so I can see an end in sight 🙈 xx

Nats7504 · 30/06/2021 21:17

@toadstool32 congrats 😘 xx

Skl2021 · 30/06/2021 21:22

@nats7504 noooo I'm sure it will be late again I say in the twenties!! Yes there better and clearer I just use to many and costs too much 😂🙈 yes I tested one month and thought I'd peaked and then on a whim carried on testing and got my actual peak which was alot stronger! Hahaha shaggathon heaven 🤣🙊 I don't envy you 😜 not long to go now tho! Hopefully 🤣👀 you two will be testing before I even get to ovulation!! Xx

Nats7504 · 30/06/2021 21:33

@Skl2021 That’s what I’m worried about as I stop testing when I get a peak. Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong. We should just have set 2-3 times a week and we’d be covered. I’ll order some, what ones do you usually get? Not the shit batch you have this time 🤣
It’s not heaven, I don’t know how he can be as excited as he is. I’m like “I’ve not peaked yet so we need to DTD again tonight” he was bloody made up. I’d have told him to fuck off 🤣🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 30/06/2021 21:41

@Nats7504 u usually get quite a strong peak tho so hopefully you are in the right time! Haha I will attach my current shitty ones they are literally a few mm's thick. I have used femometer ones they were nice and clear and thicker! Easy@home get good reviews aswell. Just stay away from the one step!! 🤦🤣 Haha yes my excitement goes out the window after the first time. My oh was also over the moon last month when I had that huge peak 🙈 I was like ffs we have to do it again 🤦wish I had that sex drive!! Xx

Skl2021 · 30/06/2021 21:42

@Nats7504 would help if I attached the fucker 🤣🙈🤦

Nats7504 · 30/06/2021 21:57

@Skl2021 Thanks for that, I’ll get some on order for next month. Hoping I won’t need it but I’m ever the realist 🙈 if I peak over the weekend then I’m fucked as DP is on his 48 hour ban 🤦🏻‍♀️ Fingers crossed she comes tomorrow.
I’m the same. TTC is hard when you’re not in the mood but you know you need too. Men love it but they get all the fun and none of the stress of mapping and stuff. 🙄 They just turn up to the party 🎉 XX

Skl2021 · 30/06/2021 22:21

@Nats7504 pound shop ones weren't too bad either if u just want a cheapie. Aww I hope it happens too 🤞🤞 sperm can live upto 5 days tho so you have been at it all week so hopefully there will be some waiting!! How dark are your tests today do u think there close? X

Nats7504 · 30/06/2021 22:25

@Skl2021 Yeah, I’ll have to cover all bases over the next few nights. 🙄
I don’t think I’m far off but it hasn’t for any darker the past 2 days so who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll attach a picture. Xx

Nats7504 · 30/06/2021 22:27

I can’t be far off although you both had a fucker of a month so maybe it’s my turn 🙈

@Nats7504 no I think they look pretty dark to me! I would say your very close! 🤞 Tomorrow is the day! Hopefully u don't have a month like we did 🤣🤦 you 2 will be doing the tww together this time! I'm so jealous you will be pregnancy testing and IL be waiting for ovulation like 👀🙄 xx

Nats7504 · 30/06/2021 22:40

@Skl2021 Do you think? I hope so as I’m so over banging 🙈 I feel so much pressure during FW and feel relief when it’s been and gone.
Aww lovely, you’ll be joining us before you know it. Xx
