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@Springflower3 Sorry for the radio silence. We had an impromptu date night and I’m feeling it today 😫
I’ve not tested yet, will do this afternoon. We DTD last night so we’re covered if I’ve missed it but don’t think I have ovulated yet. Trust me to be late this month. You’ll both be POAS well before me 🙈 xx

Springflower3 · 08/05/2021 12:34

Oh a date night? @Nats7504 keeping the romance alive! Was the pre seed used??
@Skl2021 I’m pretty sure I have ovulated earlier as I had ewcm during the week and last night I could a opk to see and it was negative.... my cm was creamy (tmi) so I honestly think it is just me over thinking! Obviously I googled a bit and apparently it is normal to cramp for a few days as your body tried to move the egg along 🤣🤣 we done the deed 3 times this week and if sperm can stay alive for 5 days I’m confident we would have enough there......... or am I being optimistic 🙈🙈 xx

Skl2021 · 08/05/2021 13:43

@Springflower3 I live how we want the details of the pre seed 🤦😂 haha yes we do overthink don't we. Hopefully the egg is on the way 😎 yes we only DTD 3 times aswell. Just managed to squeeze in a quickie this morning just in case 🙈🤞😂 xx

Nats7504 · 08/05/2021 14:07

The pre-seed was used 🤣 as we were both a bit drunk he even administered it! Could that be classed as foreplay?! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve taken an OPK and we have lift off, I think I’ll get my peak either today or tomorrow hopefully? We DTD this morning so think I’m suitably covered so far 🤞We’ve done it 4 times this week so I’m all shagged out 🙈 But need to carry on if I’m only just going into my peak. DP is loving life!!
Can’t wait to join you on the TWW symptom spotting. 🙌 xx

@Nats7504 oooo a bit of pre seed foreplay and a date night u are spoiled 🙊😂 the things we will do 😂 that test looks positive to me does it get alot darker? Hahah all shagged out but u will keep going for the cause 🙌🎉 bet your oh thinks it's Christmas 🤣🤔😉 bring on the symptom spotting ✔️😁 xx

Nats7504 · 08/05/2021 15:14

@Skl2021 I know! That stuff is gross though, he didn’t want to use it this morning so don’t think he’s a fan 🙈
I don’t know, I think it gets a little darker as it’s the same colour as the control line at the moment. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll test later on today as see if it changes.
I am! We’ve got a few more to squeeze in before I can have a rest. Good job the boys are at their dads this weekend 🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 08/05/2021 17:08

@Nats7504 yes test again later see if it changes but I think your close! Haha I squeezed one in this morning locked in the bathroom 🙊 as the kids just don't leave us alone 🤦 the things we have to do. Hahah xx

Springflower3 · 08/05/2021 17:55

@Nats7504 that defo is close to positive! It’s mad how one day they are faint then boom!
How confident are we feeling this month? We are all just a few days apart to test 🤣🙈 xx

Springflower3 · 08/05/2021 17:56

@Skl2021 a quickie in the bathroom! 🤣🤣🤣 how did you distract the kids from knocking on the door!!!
I know, I think our dignities are well and truly gone at this stage! It’s all out in the open 😉 xx

Skl2021 · 08/05/2021 18:08

@Springflower3 haha they were eating dinner and playing Fortnite so we had to take the chance. 🙊🤣 It's a rare moment! Thought we would mix it up a bit usually only get chance at night time 🙄 who said romance was dead 😉 xx

Springflower3 · 08/05/2021 18:17

@Skl2021 I’m jealous your sex life is so spicy! We are very much, wait to bed time kind ppl cause he usually falls asleep after 🤣🤣
Are you 1 dpo today? I’m thinking I’m gonna try and leave it to be day to test? Have you a day in mind? Xx

Skl2021 · 08/05/2021 18:20

@Springflower3 hahah it isn't spicy 🤣 that is desperate measures 🙈 usually bed time and straight to sleep like you 😂 yes 1 dpo. What are you? I'm going to wait I think until the dreaded 11 dpo 🤣 see if I start spotting xx

Springflower3 · 08/05/2021 19:01

@Skl2021 it flipping sounds like it if your havin quickies in the bathroom! I think if I suggested that to DP he would be shocked 🤣
What day is that for you? 11dpo is Sunday for me.... is that seen as too early? Because this is a shorter cycle than I’m used to..... I’m not sure when my period is due! The cramps have started again... seems to be in the evenings 🤷‍♀️Xx

Skl2021 · 08/05/2021 19:55

@Springflower3 haha suggest it and see what he says 🤣 might be the secret to baby making 🤞🤞 erm next Tuesday I think. I usually start around 9 dpo so upto you depends if you can handle seeing bfn? Some people prefer to wait. Hmm could it be something u have eaten? Bit Weird isn't it. Unless something is happening 🤞🙈 xx

Springflower3 · 08/05/2021 20:31

@Skl2021 he would prob rolls his eyes!! But yes exactly! It could that time that leaves you with your BFP! Will you go again tomorrow?
Awk I doubt it, the egg won’t even be near the point to implant.... that can take 6 days or more! I think I’m just trying to feel something and my body is playing tricks on me!!!
With my son, I can mind I tested on the Sunday and it was a bfn and then I had a spare one so tested on the Thursday and the line was very clear and strong!! So I don’t know... I might use the cheapies next Sunday and then if my period is late I will buy something more expensive xx

Skl2021 · 08/05/2021 21:31

@Springflower3 I don't know Im thinking I should so I'm definitely covered but I'm in a nice routine of every other day 🤣🙈 if you have lots of cheapies then I say start asap and just do it every day 🙊 I would if I had lots. Only buy dear ones after I'm late or get a hint of line on cheapies xx

Springflower3 · 08/05/2021 21:42

@Skl2021 you are such a bad influence on me 🤣🤣🤣 I have 2 cheapie, but like for 3 it is 79p in b&m so I can always get more! I think I should at least wait to after 6dpo to give implantation a go? 🤣🤣🤣
It’s so nice having here to talk freely.... my friends don’t know except one and would you believe none have had any concerns re trying they all get it first go! So I don’t want them thinking I’m unhinged 🤣🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 08/05/2021 22:02

@Springflower3 yes I'd wait until around 7 dpo. But after that it's game time 🤣 I did multiple a day cos I'm addicted 🙈 that's why I'm stopping this month and taking a step back but IL quite happily egg u lot on 😂😉 yes I only have this site and oh but he's not interested in all this 🤦 nice to talk to people who understand. Doesn't always happen first time for people xx

Springflower3 · 09/05/2021 09:15

@Skl2021you make me laugh 🤣🤣 do you really think you will show restraint this month?? 🙈🙈
When I start testing the urge will set in with you 🤣🤣
I think I’m gonna have a lazy day today! What about you guys?
@Nats7504 have you recovered xx

Nats7504 · 09/05/2021 09:42

Morning! I met up with my sister last night which ended up with me back on the prosecco 🙈 My poor egg must be pissed and drowning in alcohol 🤣
You two make me laugh. Talking about POAS already!! 🤣🤣 Says me who isn’t even sure she’s ovulated this month 🙈 I’ll be joining you soon enough. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Xx

Springflower3 · 09/05/2021 10:01

@Nats7504 I know! You would think we are at that stage! This day week I honestly think will be the best time to start..... do you guys checks your cervix and cm much? Like I don’t understand what I am looking for when I do 🤣🤣

Skl2021 · 09/05/2021 12:25

@Springflower3 yes I will show restraint 💪 haha IL just follow your poas journey!! I think your urge will hit before mine 🙊 surprised u ain't done one yet 🤣🙌 don't think I'm doing much today either looks a bit black were I am. 🌧️ and nope don't check any of that wouldn't have a clue also 🙈
@Nats7504 hahah have u tested again? I thought u were shagging the weekend away 🤣🙊 xx

Springflower3 · 09/05/2021 12:46

@Skl2021 I just remembered there this morning my sense of smell becomes very heightened... it was the first sign previously! I wish I had not remembered this as I will be aware of it now! Well..... I am 4dpo today..... it still won’t have implanted so I’m not feeling the urgh just yet!
Yea the weather here is up and down! One minute sunny and the next raining!!
I keep thinking how I would react when I do get a positive! Will you tell DP straight away? Xx

Skl2021 · 09/05/2021 12:55

@Springflower3 I usually tell him but don't know if I would this time straight away. I like the thought of getting something or doing something special with it. I think I would be in total shock as I don't think it's going to happen. Will be like reality setting in 🤣 what about you xx

Nats7504 · 09/05/2021 12:55

@Springflower3 If you need to POAS then do it! You’re not hurting anyone expect your bank balance 🤣 I have started to check my CM and cervix to help me understand when I’m ovulating. I get EWCM and my cervix is softer around ovulation.
@Skl2021 I’ve tested and i have my peak 🙌 best get on with shagging 🤣 I’m hungover (again) so will just be a quickie as I really can’t be arsed!! XX
