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

That's madness! What is the cut off for geriatric mother's!! I will be 35 when baby is born 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🙈

Lol why were you up so early when you didn't need to be 🤣🤣🤣

I'm good, the digital tests are saying 2-3 weeks which is about right I think? In my head I'm thinking it won't say 3+ till next week??
I'm cramping every day but my tender boobs fluctuate.... some days I can barely touch them and then today I'm having to really poke?? How's you?? Xx

Skl2021 · 18/07/2021 12:38

@Nats7504 @Springflower3 yes feeling a bit more relaxed now 😂🙈 got a busy day of packing were off on hols tomorrow and I haven't got anything done yet. And it's a suprise for the kids so need to do it all without them knowing 🤦 haha @nats7504 no more gin and prosecco parties 💃🥂 @springflower3 yes lines are reducing but still quite dark 🙊 but I'm not DTD anymore that my lot 🙌🤞🤣 xx

Nats7504 · 19/07/2021 09:05

Morning ladies! Happy Monday 😊 Don’t know why I’m so chipper this morning as I slept shit again last night! 😫

What are you all up to this week? My eldest is back isolating again (he was only out of his last one 5 day before going back into one again) My youngest breaks up this week and will officially leave primary and starts high school is September 😔

@Skl2021 How the testing going? Has the peak left the building? I hope so. The no alcohol for a solid week has been an eye opener, especially with the weather. DP had gin last night and got myself a bottle of alcohol free Prosecco, wasn’t too bad. Where are you off to on holiday?

@Springflower3 I know!! If they call me that to my face I’ll likely punch them. I think it’s so offensive. I’m up so early cause I’m asleep by 11pm most nights, I’ve been so tired. 🙈 I took a clear blue test today and it said 2-3 weeks, I’m 4+4 today so assume that’s right? My boobs are sore and I have waves of feeling sick but apart from that I don’t feel pregnant. It hasn’t sunk in at all. How are you feeling today? Xx

Skl2021 · 19/07/2021 19:13

@Nats7504 I was just about to say it's not Monday 🤣🙈 my Mind is mashed with being away through the week thought it was the weekend 🤷 were at haven! It's absolutely roasting 😩🙈 can't handle the heat and the caravan Is like an oven 🙄 I tested yesterday and it was alot lighter so guessing I'm done my app says I'm 3 dpo today. Haven't brought tests with me so will wait till I'm back. Aww at least u can have non alcoholic just close your eyes and pretend it's the real thing 🤣🙊🥂 xx

Nats7504 · 20/07/2021 13:22

@Skl2021 How’s the holiday going so far? We’re the kids surprised?

@Springflower3 You ok lovely? Xx

Springflower3 · 20/07/2021 13:35

Hi ya girls!

Sorry I have been MIA - I've gone down the rabbit hole of googling and googling every little symptom or lack off etc! At this stage im convinced I have an ectopic pregnancy or molar pregnancy! I am driving myself mad! This bleed has really really knocked me off course 😞

How are you @Nats7504? Are your symptoms increasing??

@Skl2021 hope you having an amazing holiday xx

Nats7504 · 20/07/2021 13:39

@Springflower3 Aww, bless you. Has the bleeding stopped?

I think it’s completely normal to feel anxious, I know I am. I’ve convinced myself I’ll be the 1 in 4 that miscarry. But we need to keep telling ourselves we’re pregnant and have as much of a chance as the rest everyone else!

I feel ok, the sickness is starting to ramp up and I’ve felt it pretty much all day for the last 2 days. But I still worry to shows you that even with symptoms we worry! Xx

Springflower3 · 20/07/2021 13:53

What are we like @Nats7504 !!
The bleeding literally lasted about 6 hours- no flow, not consistent and only when I wiped! It remained brown and tbh appeared more like a discharge!
I took a clear blue digital on Sunday and it said 2-3 so I'm assuming that's ok!
I think you are further along than you think.... I was 5 weeks on Sunday so your about the same?
It's defo comforting having symptoms! The only one I have is sore boobs.... otherwise I feel fine! I expected to feel bloated but nope nothing! Cramping has completely stopped so obviously this worries me too!
I think everything your feeling is normal and I wish I had the same symptoms as they are 'typical' pregnancy symptoms xx

Nats7504 · 20/07/2021 14:39

@Springflower3 That’s fab news. Must of been to vigorous DTD 🙈 we’ve not done it since I had my little scare. Poor boy must feel used and abused 🤣

I’m only 4+5 I think based on my OPKs so a few days behind you. I did a digital yesterday and it said 2-3 weeks so matches.

We’re still very early for symptoms to be fair, we’ll be moaning soon enough when we feel like shit!! Xx

Springflower3 · 20/07/2021 15:14

Aww me and DP are really wanting to get back at it so I am so scared! Like I think maybe wait till 6 weeks? What do you think @Nats7504 ??
I don't get it though? I suppose I am going off what the GP said and she uses lmp so maybe that's why? I'm confused by it all 🤣🤣 I am happy to say 5+2 at this stage 🙈🙈

Well ye know your so right!! Most symptoms don't really kick in to what... 6-8 weeks!!! So we could be in the calm before the storm 🙈 previously I have been lucky and it's just tiredness that floors me!

I need to stop googling though...... do you do it a bit??? Please make me feel better 🤣🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 20/07/2021 16:27

@Nats7504 @Springflower3 hey girls! Kids absolutely loving life 🤣🙌 the weather is just absolutely crazy tho we had loads planned and it's just too hot to do anything I'm literally dripping 🙈🤦 @springflower3 get away from google you are your own worst enemy!!!! Stop putting a downer on it and enjoy it 😊 🙌 @nats7504 have u tried anything for the sickness? Xx

Nats7504 · 20/07/2021 17:55

@Springflower3 Go you two! I’m be thankful for the break to be honest. I haven’t really though when we’ll do it again, maybe once i feel more confident that’s things are progressing ok 🤷🏻‍♀️

My last period was the 18th June, I think yours was a few days before mine?

Lucky you, I get hit with them all so taking these early days as a test before they kick in properly. We planning on moving house before baby arrives too so that will be fun!

@Skl2021 Glad you’re having a good time, although I would be a sweaty mess in a caravan. Kids don’t seem to care though! When are you coming home? I didn’t take anything for the sickness last time but I’ll go to the doctors when it kicks in and get prescribed something! Xx

LaundryForever · 20/07/2021 19:57

Hello everyone, I jumped on at the start and then tried to relax and forget about TTC (yeah right 😬). I'm now 6 or 7 DPO and expecting AF to arrive any day now (I have a short luteal phase). I hate this part of the cycle!

Skl2021 · 20/07/2021 20:14

@Nats7504 were home on Friday! Will soon fly by! Yes too hot 🔥🤦 but we will make the most of it! I remember last time I tried alsorts but ginger nuts helped a bit and travel sickness bands with like pressure points. Although u seem to have it alot worse than me so maybe need something alot stronger! I'm trying to stay hopeful I really want to join you too this month 🤞🤞 the wait will kill me towards the end xx

Skl2021 · 20/07/2021 20:15

@LaundryForever oo exciting times I'm 4 dpo today! Have u taken any tests yet ? Or do u wait for af to show? Xx

Nats7504 · 20/07/2021 20:23

@LaundryForever the TWW is grim. Try and keep busy to take your mind off it. Easier said than done I know! When is AF due?

@Skl2021 You’ve still got the rest of the week then. Fab. Very jealous! I would love to get away for a week somewhere.

I tried everything with my first and nothing worked so just accepted my fate with the second. Now I know that you don’t have to suffer and can get anti sickness pills from the doctor. I hope I’m not as bad this time round as I had to sleep with a bucket next to my bed as I would wake up with bile in my mouth 😫 XX

LaundryForever · 21/07/2021 09:58

I think I'm due tomorrow but I just know I'm out already so just waiting for AF to arrive.
Anyone testing soon? 😊🤞
I honestly feel like giving up with TTC now!

Springflower3 · 21/07/2021 14:17

Hey @LaundryForever do you get symptoms of AF before she arrives??

Aww I'm sure you are glad for the distraction @Skl2021!! Sounds like your having a ball!! When you gonna start testing???

@Nats7504 I would have thought you would back at it ASAP! 🤣🤣🤣 hopefully your sickness won't be too bad... although that heat won't help it much I'm sure? Xx

Skl2021 · 21/07/2021 15:37

@Nats7504 get a baby moon booked 🤣
@Springflower3 how u feeling now? Stayed off google? 🙊🙈🤦 xx

Lozzie118 · 21/07/2021 16:08

Lozzie118 · 21/07/2021 16:11

Yesterday top
FMU today bottom

Can an evap be pink I don't understand. Please if anyone knows what's happened/happening please help xx

Trying for baby number 3
Skl2021 · 21/07/2021 17:29

@Lozzie118 I would say evap because I can't see a line on the bottom test. Although it is pretty convincing? I'd wait and take another test to be sure xx

Springflower3 · 21/07/2021 17:39

Hi @Lozzie118 that really is a convincing line.... but the fact it isn't there this morning would indicate a Evap 🤷‍♀️ when is af due and have you any spotting etc??

Aww @Skl2021 not as much 🤣 totally convinced I will have ectopic, molar pregnancy or blighted ovum 🙈🙈 but my boobs still ache like frig and the bloat is defo there in the evening now! I can also feel like.... stretching in my uterus if that makes sense??
How are you though? Ready to start testing?? My fingers are super crossed for you xx

Skl2021 · 21/07/2021 18:07

@Springflower3 there good signs! Stay positive I'm sure it will all be ok now stay away from Google 🤣🙈 I'm absolutely knackered 💤 this heat is no good 🙈 just want to sleep and the kids are non stop 🤣 I'm hoping I last without testing but knowing me I will cave 🤦 second week will drag xx

Lozzie118 · 21/07/2021 18:35

No the line is on the test still this morning and it's pink when I tested with FMU this morning line barely visible, had pink once when wiped yesterday but nothing more. Xx
