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

@Springflower3 noo 😩 hope it stops asap!! Keep positive Iv got everything crossed for you 🤞🤞 has it only been once? X

Springflower3 · 16/07/2021 13:55

It started about 11am this morning.....it is defo not heavy and still brown 🤷‍♀️ when I checked inside there is defo brown blood inside so it's hard to tell if it has just been the once and has gathered up there etc 😢😢 I've no severe cramps or anything and still have tender boobs at this point. I am beside myself to be honest xx

Springflower3 · 16/07/2021 13:56

I feel exactly like I would just before my period arrives 🤷‍♀️ I've never had this before... I didn't bleed before. Like when I google the general advice is not positive xx

Skl2021 · 16/07/2021 14:35

@Springflower3 it's good that it's light and brown might just be the egg implanting! Some people get bleeding around time af would be due. Just take a breathe and get away from Google that will do you no good! I'm sure it will be nothing. Just try and keep calm and think positive 🤞💖 you still have symptoms and you have no cramps you will get through this 🤗 xx

Nats7504 · 16/07/2021 17:06

@Springflower3 I echo what @Skl2021 said, brown blood is old. You could’ve upset things with you had sex. Have you stopped bleeding now?

Also @skI2021, how’s the sticks looking this morning? Xx

Skl2021 · 16/07/2021 17:10

@Nats7504 so the green test is still quite dark probably similar to yesterday. But the blue test is alot lighter than yesterdays so hopefully today is ovulation 🤞🤞🙌🙌 I will try another later on and see if there going lighter. Xx

Springflower3 · 16/07/2021 20:01

Have you tested again @Skl2021 ?? Really
Hope you ovulate today or tomorrow 😬😬

@Nats7504 have you tested since your bleed?? There is still brown blood/discharge.... I have put on a liner as there is some on pants. I took a frer and it was line stealer even though I took it after drinking and no hold 🤷‍♀️ so I'm guessing it will take a few days for the hormone to reduce in my system if it is a loss xx

Skl2021 · 16/07/2021 20:19

@Springflower3 yes I did two today still quite dark but think less than yesterdays so I would say I'm ovulating today 🤞🤞 hope so anyway 🤣 glad your frer was dark 😊🙌🤞🤞 hope the spotting stops xx

Nats7504 · 16/07/2021 21:00

@Springflower3 Yeah I tested this morning and to be fair it isn’t much darker? Don’t know whether it should be or not 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think as long as it’s brown and not fresh then I’d just keep an eye on it.

@Skl2021 Are you back on the D tonight? Your OH must have a massive smile on his face 🤣 xx

Trying for baby number 3
Skl2021 · 16/07/2021 21:22

@Nats7504 them lines look great ☺️ do they get much darker? Can't remember how much I tested with mine 🤦 think I stopped after af was due! Yes I suppose I better get back on tonight if I can be bothered 🙈🤣 I'm knackered and got work tomorrow so want to go to bed early and my kids arnt going to sleep anytime soon 🤦🙈 so might not fit it in 🤔 xx

Nats7504 · 16/07/2021 21:25

@Skl2021 I’ve never tested past AF either but had a spare one so thought why not? Now I’m worried it’s meant to be darker 🙈
Yep, you do! You can’t stop now that you’ve got your peak. Best make time for a quickie. Tell him to sort the kids out as you need rest for your bang later 🤣
Im just putting my 11 year old to bed, god knows when the teenager will go 🙄 xx

Skl2021 · 16/07/2021 21:34

@Nats7504 no I think them lines are fine! Haha how do you get in the mood when your really don't want it 🤣🤦 ... asking for a friend 👀😂 they should be in bed by now but I CBA he can sort them when I'm in bed I'm shattered xx

Nats7504 · 16/07/2021 21:47

@Skl2021 that’s where lube comes in handy. It’s literally him depositing and no form of loving or romance 🤣
I’m in bed too. Shattered! I’ve given up on love island as it’s shit this year. Think I might put a film on and try and stay awake past 11 as it’s Friday 🙈 xx

Skl2021 · 16/07/2021 21:54

@Nats7504 🤣🤣 that's hilarious. It will be a quickie tonight job done 🙌 I need my sleep 🙊🤣 Aww no it is lacking a bit ATM but I'm sure it will liven up once casa amour comes 🙈 I'm still watching in hope 🤣🤞 haven't watched tonights yet with that new boy xx

Nats7504 · 16/07/2021 22:26

@Skl2021 quickies are what babies are made from. 🤣 surely people TTC don’t have living, romantic sex all the time? If they do, DP had a rough ride 🙈
I might tune back in later on in the series if it gets better. Xx

Nats7504 · 17/07/2021 10:19

@Springflower3 How are things today lovely? Xx

Springflower3 · 17/07/2021 12:40

Hey @Nats7504 well the spotting has stopped 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I'm defo still having pregnancy symptoms- really sore boobs, bloating and mild cramps!! So I'm gonna believe I am still pregnant until I get a scan in two weeks!
How's you?
@Skl2021 how was the quickie last night 🤣🤣 xx

Nats7504 · 17/07/2021 12:50

@Springflower3 Yay! That’s fab news 🙌 Plus the symptoms rearing it’s ugly head is all very reassuring. Lay off the bonking for your own nerves I think 🙈
Are you having an early scan? I’m going to have the NIPT test which you can get from 10 weeks and that includes a scan so wasn’t planning on having one earlier. That said, who knows 🙈

@Skl2021 Hope works going ok today and that you managed to DTD with the zero energy you had 🤣 xx

Springflower3 · 17/07/2021 13:06

I'm trying to be reassured by the symptoms but is there not something about they will remain even after the start of a loss due to the hormones?? I am such a negative Annie 🤣🤣🤣 when I rang the hospital yest they said they would do a scan when I am 7 weeks if the bleeding settles so I might as well take the opportunity!!
Do you have to pay for it if your getting it early?
Yea defo no sex until after the scan I think.... how long are you gonna leave it?? Xx

Nats7504 · 17/07/2021 14:06

@Springflower3 I think that’s classed as a missed miscarriage, where the baby stops growing but the body doesn’t realise. Try and stay positive and defo take the scan if it’s being offered. Will put your mind at rest and you get to see little one 🥰

It’s private and costs quite a lot but due to my age I’ll no doubt be put high risk at the screening test and it’s more accurate. I have no idea, the fact I bled last time we did makes me cautious. Think it’s hand jobs going forward for a bit 🙈 xx

Skl2021 · 17/07/2021 16:24

Hi guys just got in 🙈 had the hardest day I'm pissed off too hot so tired 😩 glad it's over I could cry 😭 stupid fucking ignorant people 🤷 I managed to DTD last night well oh did the work I just took it 👀🤦 I think I'm done now I don't wanna do it again tonight. @Springflower3 glad the spotting has stopped and your feeling a bit better! @Nats7504 never heard of that test before xx

Springflower3 · 18/07/2021 10:46

Awww @Skl2021 tough day? It's amazing how rude ppl can be!! Did you do much last night???
Is your lines reducing??

Springflower3 · 18/07/2021 10:48

@Nats7504 would you really be classed as high risk?? That's mental! Your only in your 30's!!!
The maternity services are starting to clamp down on ppl coming in to hospital due to rises in Covid numbers so im thinking DP may not be able to come with me 😕 xx

Nats7504 · 18/07/2021 10:49

Morning ladies! What a beautiful day ☀️

Been up since 7am, with no kids or hangover. What is this new life?! 🙈

@Skl2021 Hope you had a good sleep last night and feel more refreshed today.

@Springflower3 How’s things with you lovely? Xx

Nats7504 · 18/07/2021 10:51

@Springflower3 High risk in term of Down Syndrome etc using the NHS test as they take age into account (I’m 37, will be 38 when baby arrives) Geriatric Mother and all that bullshit!

It’s rubbish isn’t it, we can go whenever and see however we like but out partners can’t be part of something that’s once in a lifetime. Annoys me xx
