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’m the same, all enthusiastic at the beginning of FW and struggle with the last bit. It’s not fun no matter how much we try to make it that way.
It’s going ok to be fair, hardly thought about it. Think I’m 6DPO so not even a week in. We’ve got a wedding tomorrow which has been a nice distraction. I’ve even fake tanned 🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 07/07/2021 14:31

@Nats7504 I might not even be in fw!! Might be all for nothing 🤣🤣 Oh yes wedding will be nice will the gin be flowing 🥂🥂💃 oh might get lucky then 🙊😜 xx

Nats7504 · 07/07/2021 17:09

@Skl2021 what cycle day are you now? At least you’ve got a fresh batch or 2 waiting up their just in case 🤣

I’m hoping for champagne, if not defo Prosecco 🥂 DP is driving as it’s 45 minutes away. Yay! Xx

Springflower3 · 07/07/2021 19:28

Woohoo @Skl2021 get in there!!!! It would have awesome if it was fw!! There is still time for a peak!!! I bet it was nice though? No pressure nothing just pure passion!! Love this!!
Awk tww is just meh! Like it's too soon for anything really so I am just trying to put it to the back of my head for now! A girl I work with announced she was pregnant today 😑😑 no trying no opk just first month of no protection so I was like wtaf! 🤣🤣🤣
@Nats7504 what a lovely distraction!! You will be recovering for a few days then??? Xx

Nats7504 · 07/07/2021 20:14

@Springflower3 I know, I felt the same. I mean sex for fun?! What is that 🙈 although mine has been after it all day so think I’m going to have to put out tonight 🤣 Oh no, I’ve not had anyone announce a pregnancy but still feel jealous of anyone that does on social media. It hurts that it’s happened to people but not us 😫 I have work on Friday 🙈 what a treat!!! Haha xx

Skl2021 · 07/07/2021 21:43

@Nats7504 I'm cd 15 my app says ovulation in 2 days for some reason it always puts it at cd 17 even though it's never then 🤦 hope u have a lovely time at the wedding 🥂
@Springflower3 I don't know what's going on with Mumsnet but I'm not getting notifications 🙈 awww your half way there not much longer now u will be testing in no time 🤞🤞 some people don't know how lucky they have it 😩 then there's us trying everything for it to happen 🙄 so ladies IV done two opks today green was this afternoon and blue was about an hour ago. I bought the blue ones as a back up incase the green where shit and I'm getting completely different results 🙈🤦 my cycles just get better !! I know the green isn't positive but Its darker than it has been so thought it might be starting but the blue IV never had one so light 🤔😣

Nats7504 · 07/07/2021 21:53

@Skl2021 Thank you lovely, I’m nervous as not been to a social gathering like that for ages! Got myself a new frock so I’m sure it will be fine 👍
I’m rubbish with tests so can’t see much, sorry lovely, the green looks more noticeable. Going by your usual cycles I’d say you’re still a few days off though. You get dark lines around ovulation. Hold in there. Shag load and keep pissing on that stick 🙌 xx

Skl2021 · 07/07/2021 22:09

@Nats7504 haha yes I would be too I don't go to alot of things either! Once the prosecco starts flowing u will be fine 🥂 the green is darker irl my phone just won't take a decent pic 🙈🙄 yes I think I'm way off yet aswell I just don't want to start the shaggathon if I'm no were near but I also don't want to start late hate the guessing games 🙈🤣 xx

Nats7504 · 07/07/2021 22:28

@Skl2021 I used to be a social butterfly but after I lost my mum I’ve lost that. I’m trying to get it back. It’s hard isn’t it!
Prosecco is life 🥂 I should like a piss can as neither of you seem to drink 🤣
Shaggathon week is awful but necessary to the cause. We need that egg and sperm getting it on !! XX

Skl2021 · 07/07/2021 22:33

@Nats7504 aww sorry to hear that 😣 can't even imagine going through that 😘
Well I used to go hard when I was younger but now it doesn't even interest me very rarely drink apart from when we go out out 🤣🙈 haha u drink that prosecco hope Ur not to rough for work the next day 😜 I am quite partial to gin been having orange gin lately 🤔 eugh I don't even want to go there yet I'm scared from last month. I'm not doing it every day that's for sure 🙌 xx

Nats7504 · 07/07/2021 22:42

@Skl2021 it wasn't nice. I looked after her until she died but it’s one of those things.
I drank less as a teenager and early twenties than I do I now. I live my life in moderation. I eat, drink and exercise that way.
Love your gin experiencing, good choice too! Love a flavoured gin!
No one line the shaggathon week, it’s no fun! Xx

Nats7504 · 07/07/2021 23:28

I don’t know whether anyone else goes through stages of hating their partner? He’s fucking me right off. Being an argumentative twat after a few drinks!! Xx

Skl2021 · 08/07/2021 00:08

@Nats7504 oh no you not having a good night 🙈 don't worry we all go through it!! Has he been watching the football by any chance 🙈🤦⚽ xx

Nats7504 · 08/07/2021 11:21

@Skl2021 How did you guess? 🙈 He apologised this morning so all is forgotten.
Just sat in the hairdressers waiting to get my hair curled, decided to treat myself.
Hope you all have a Fab Friday! Xx

Skl2021 · 08/07/2021 11:25

@Nats7504 eugh it's all anyone talks about 🙈 was on in my house too. Can't stand it 🤣 sick of hearing about it! Good he apologized tho! Ooo Enjoy your treat been ages since Iv been to the hairdresser mine needs a good chop 🙈 hahah u know it's Thursday today? U had me checking then! 🤣🙈 Thought I'd got my days wrong xx

Nats7504 · 08/07/2021 12:18

@Skl2021 Me too. Mine doesn’t even watch footy so it’s killing me! I think the final is Sunday so it’s nearly over 🙌
Yeah, he knows I’m stubborn and wouldn’t apologise 🤣
I went last week to get mine cut and coloured, first time in a year. Had a few inches taken off as I’d frazzled it with the straighteners 🙈 Get yourself booked in lady!
Oh it is isn’t it 🤦🏻‍♀️ My week is messed up with going to a wedding on a Thursday 🙈 xx

Lozzie118 · 08/07/2021 13:33

Skl2021 · 08/07/2021 13:57

Lozzie118 · 08/07/2021 14:20

First month, I'm 34 have a 2.5 year old little boy and a 5 year old little girl xx

Springflower3 · 08/07/2021 14:31

Ffs Mumsnet is acting the total wag! I have missed loads!!! Welcome @Lozzie118 come and join us crazies! Nothing Is off limits here!!

@Skl2021 no sign of progression with opks? How long does it take the vitamins to kick in????

@Nats7504 I’m jealous you have the distraction of the wedding! How you feeling? Any different?

Realistically the damn egg won’t have implanted yet! But I’m have mild cramps today like AF is coming 😢 so ffs I suspect she is gonna arrive early! Xx

Lozzie118 · 08/07/2021 18:53

First month trying to conceive baby number 3 and my cbfm is driving me mad all lows and I'm CD14 or a 26ish day cycle x

Lozzie118 · 08/07/2021 18:54

Last month I used the monitor to track my cycle couple of lows couple of highs and peak CD12 and 13 so who knows what's happening this month xx

Skl2021 · 08/07/2021 19:24

@springflower3 hey ☺️ nope opks are up and down one day darker next day lighter don't know what the bells happening. Not sure about the vitamins probably won't even do anything 🙈🤦 oh no sorry to here about the cramps u said the same last month aswell 🤔 but it never arrived early! Keep positive 🤞
@lozzie118 it's crap when your cycle goes to whack 🤦🙈 mine does it every month and my ovulation changes all the time its like a guessing game I go through so many opks each month 🙈🤦

Lozzie118 · 08/07/2021 20:01

Why do they do that when it was fine when we weren't trying to conceive??xx

Skl2021 · 08/07/2021 20:15

@Lozzie118 no idea 😂 mine have gone all over the place since I started ttc! And my cycle length changes month to month 🙈 makes things harder and keeps me on my toes 🤦 xx
