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 are in this together @Skl2021!!! If it’s basically dark... taking in to account your hydration levels I’m confident enough too!
@Nats7504 hopefully you get your peak tomorrow then we will all be in the TWw!

I’m gonna try so hard not to test until at least one or two days before af is due...... I’m full of shite come this day week I will be testing daily 🤣🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 06/05/2021 15:58

@Springflower3 hahah dont lie to yourself 🤣🤣 I say everytime I won't test then as soon as I go to the toilet and know they are there I take one even if it is too early 🤣🤦 like why would I even do that but I can't control myself 😩 xx

Springflower3 · 06/05/2021 16:04

@Skl2021 how many have you got!!! I must buy some online or I will be out a fortune nipping to the shop!!!

Skl2021 · 06/05/2021 16:07

@Springflower3 I have 2 cheapies left in the house 🤣 just left over from last month. This month IV not bought any new opks or HCG as I'm meant to be trying the relaxed approach 🙊 last 2 months IV started spotting at 11 dpo so don't think there's any point in testing before that point 😩 some months IV even tried testing with opks 🤣🙊🤦 see if they go dark again xx

Nats7504 · 06/05/2021 16:24

@Springflower3 I’m hoping it will be in the next few days as I’m feeling left out!! Xx

Skl2021 · 06/05/2021 17:08

@Nats7504 hurry hurry come join us 😁🙌🎉 xx

Springflower3 · 06/05/2021 19:35

@Skl2021 is it possible to tell from opk? Do you spot as in the start of your af?
Aww my fingers are defo crossed for you @Nats7504 we can all support each other over the next 2 weeks and try to resist the urge to text daily! 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t think it will stop it though! Xx

Skl2021 · 06/05/2021 20:02

@Springflower3 yes IV started Spotting a few days before full flow. And early aswell 🤔 don't make it until 14 dpo. Well there's mixed things on the internet. Some women when there pregnant get a very strong opk. But its usually like extremely dark positive. But u can also get another lh surge before af arrives. So it's mixed. I just wanted to see if I get a lh surge before af and I don't. They also usually say u will get a positive hpt before positive opk so 🤔 I just wanted to test it out xxx

Springflower3 · 06/05/2021 20:16

@Skl2021 so if you make it to 11dpo we have reason to be excited??? 😬😬😬
I’ve 2 cheapies as well, but I mean they outta b&m so I highly doubt they would be able to pick up any earlier than my expected af 🤣🤣 so I’m gonna just have to resist purchasing any when I am out! I work on a ward where we have a machine for testing urine for like different drugs in ppl system... it can also do pregnancy tests 🙈🙈 thankfully I don’t have the barcode needed to work it or I would be flat out 🤣🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 06/05/2021 20:23

@Springflower3 yes 11 dpo is the dreaded day for me 😱 but I won't exactly know this cycle when 11 dpo is as I can't confirm ovulation in just guessing 🤣🙈 if I got past that I would be super excited but also could be a cruel trick 😩 I love testing early tho this wil be the first month I don't (If I stick to it 🙊🤣) IL gladly cheer u on to take some 👀🙌 haha I used to buy cheap ones of eBay like a pack of 50 🤪👀 cos I use them that much #addicted. Omg that would be dangerous if you had that code!!! 🤦 Xx

Springflower3 · 06/05/2021 20:34

Holy shit @Skl2021 50 tests! Are they able detect pregnancy early or do you have to wait? I do not need encouragement to do that!! I will prob cave and have them bought by next week 🤣🤣 how often have you dtd this cycle? 🙈🙈 xx

Nats7504 · 06/05/2021 20:52

@Skl2021@Springflower3 I’m CD12 tomorrow so i must be close to ovulation now!!! Urgh. Trust me to be the last one. 50?! Wow, I wouldn’t be able to trust myself amongst that kind of temptation. 🙈 XX

Skl2021 · 06/05/2021 21:06

@Springflower3 haha yes! There only cheap ones couple of quid. Think they were 10 or 25 miu. They are pretty shit not that reliable and indents and false positive. It shuts something to get me through testing without spending a fortune. Then if I ever got a hint of a line id buy a decent one instead of wasting lots of money 🤦 erm dtd about 5 times no wear near as normal. And only about once in this 5 days upto ovulation 🤪 think it was sat/sun/ and Tuesday. But sat Sunday won't count if I don't ovulate until tomorrow 😩🙈 xx

Skl2021 · 06/05/2021 21:07

@Nats7504 are u using opks? Have u got a hint of a line yet xx

Nats7504 · 06/05/2021 21:12

@Skl2021 Yeah, I’ve tested the past 2 days but no peak yet. I know it’s coming as I’ve got EWCM starting. We’ve BD every other night this week so fingers crossed we’re doing ok 🤞 should get my peak either tomorrow or Saturday, we’ll bang like crazy this weekend and hope for the best 🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 06/05/2021 21:19

@Nats7504 ohh we will be pretty close then 🤞 omg pass me some of that enthusiasm 🤣 wish I could get in the mood to bang like that 🙊 I need whatever your on!! Haha xx

Nats7504 · 06/05/2021 21:23

@Skl2021 who said I had enthusiasm?! 🤣 I cracked open the pre-seed last night, what a treat that was 🙈 if we all get our BFP this month we’ll be due days apart 👶 xx

Skl2021 · 06/05/2021 21:26

@Nats7504 I just can not be arsed to do it 🙈 think I have a shit sex drive it doesn't want to work 🙊 haha I used something similar with my first called conceive plus in little pipette things. 👀 Do u think it helped? I usually have lots of cm anyway so adding more would be like a slip and slide 😱🙊👀🤣 hahahaha xx

Nats7504 · 06/05/2021 21:54

@Skl2021 we have an ok set life generally but TTC does take a toll on it. It takes the fun out of it.
I have no idea whether it works, the reviews look good but like you I don’t suffer with CM, it was the most unsexy I’ve ever felt using it. Didn’t help I did it with DP. Think if we use it again I’ll have to do it in the bathroom 🙈 xx

Skl2021 · 06/05/2021 23:43

@Nats7504 hahah omg never felt so unsexy 🙊 but u will give it another try 🤣 the things we do to ttc 🤣🤦🙌 xx

nicole301 · 07/05/2021 06:53

Well AF arrived this morning, my app tells me ovulation day is our 8 year wedding anniversary so fingers crossed that's a good sign!!!

Think I might get the CB OPK for this cycle as I've only ever used cheapies and not 100% convinced by the results. Anyone tried the CB one previously? X

Springflower3 · 07/05/2021 08:14

@Nats7504 oh my word yes we would! We will all be texting to see who goes first! @Skl2021 were you busy last night? How do you feel knowing you can’t test today 🙈 xx

Skl2021 · 07/05/2021 08:52

@nicole301 sorry af got you! But fingers crossed this is your month might be lucky 🤞great timing xx
@Springflower3 yes DTD last night. And it's weird I'm so used to doing opks like all the time 🙈 I don't know weather to DTD tonight or miss it and do tomorrow incase I don't ovulate today 🤔 #problems 🙈🤣 xx

Springflower3 · 07/05/2021 09:19

@nicole301 I didn’t even see your message! Sorry!! I have used the CB ones, I conceived my son using them and they are good... but you only use them with FMU so if your a poas addict you have to show restraint 🤣🤣🤣 it is clearer though cause your just waiting for the static smiley!
@Skl2021 I was the exactly the same! So we just done it 3 nights in a row to be sure 🤣🤣 if I didn’t catch it then 🤷‍♀️ My temp rose again this morning so I’m not sure what that means 🤣🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 07/05/2021 09:27

@Springflower3 haha I don't know if I have the energy for every night 🙈🤦 that why I'm thinking I rest tonight 🤪 i do usually do every night around ovulation but it knackers me out. Trying something different this month 🤞😂 xx
