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

@Springflower3 no I only did it one day past like you I don't do it any longer 🙈 yes im already to involvee with my opks would drive me crazy temping aswell 🤦 x

Nats7504 · 10/05/2021 20:02

I know 🙈 having a moment that’s all. I’ll be ok tomorrow. I’ve not DTD much after I’ve had my peak OPK on previous months so going to this month. Even though I’m pretty shagged out 😫 xx

Springflower3 · 10/05/2021 21:34

@Skl2021 I know, I just want to want I’m ovulating after being on the pill but now I’m knee deep and curious to see what the temp does 🙈🙈guys I’m in deep and I don’t know how to escape 🤣🤣
@Nats7504 you won’t want sex for the next week after this 🤣🤣🤣
So if I’m testing on Sunday, what’s your days? I know skl you had said 11dpo so which day is that? Xx

Nats7504 · 10/05/2021 21:40

@Springflower3 Going by your OPK the other day, you defo ovulated! 🙌 I don’t think my anxiety could take temping on top of OPKs, I’d be drowning 🙈 I’ll see how you go with it first 🤣 I know!! I’ll be needing a week off.
I have no idea. Do I class today as 1DPO as I got my peak yesterday? Or is will it be tomorrow? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Xx

Skl2021 · 10/05/2021 21:53

@Nats7504 I would say count tomorrow as 1dpo. @Springflower3 probably next Tues/ Wednesday xx

Springflower3 · 11/05/2021 19:52

@Nats7504 it’s so hard to read the temp tbh... like you have to look out for all these different drops and rises and there is exceptions to the rules 😳😳 I regret starting tbh!
@Skl2021 id love to say I will wait and test with you.... but I will struggle to hold off to Sunday!! I have decided though I will only purchase expensive tests if the cheapies show a line or if I’m late..... xx

Skl2021 · 11/05/2021 20:22

@Springflower3 yes that's it 🤣 let the testing commence. Might aswell if there only cheapies 🎉 xx

Springflower3 · 12/05/2021 08:33

Girls The while using opk and tempting may be biting me in the ass! I’m having a mini panic attack 🤣🤣
So downloaded my OvuSense this morning and my temp has dipped 🙄 this apparently is not unusual as your temp needs to level off at some stage! But the app is now saying based on the temps I ovulated on Saturday! Which would put me on a 32 day cycle which is what is normal for me I suppose.... but I had my opk peak on Wednesday morning! That’s a difference of 3 days?? We dtd Wednesday and then again on Saturday so I’m hoping I have covered myself?? Xx

Skl2021 · 12/05/2021 08:52

@Springflower3 wow I wouldn't know which one to believe 🙈 that's why I don't use more than one thing would confuse the hell out of me if they don't match. I think your covered for both anyway 🤞🤞 just don't know how many dpo you are now 🤣🙈 xx

Springflower3 · 12/05/2021 08:56

I know @Skl2021 it’s so confusing now! They say that temping is a good way to confirm you have ovulated... but it could be a day or so out.... so I could have ovulated on Friday which I suppose isn’t totally out there when I got my peak on Wednesday! If I go for Friday, I would be 5dpo.... I think that’s the same as you then?? Xx

Skl2021 · 12/05/2021 09:03

@Springflower3 yes I'm 5 today but could be 4 as not 100% i ovulated after I ran out of tests 🤣🙈 but close enough for me 🤣 what is your temp meant to do now? Does it go up and down like for implantation etc xx

Springflower3 · 12/05/2021 09:17

We will be the same then 🙈🙈 @Skl2021
It’s can vary..... some people dip for implantation some don’t 🤷‍♀️ The main thing is that your temp is higher than before ovulation! If around 11dpo your temp dips to pre ovulation levels there is a good chance your period will come.... supposedly! The OvuSense app is saying I can stop using it now as it has registered ovulation as taking place! My head is melted!
How you managing? I’m gutted I am potentially back 3 days now... xx

Skl2021 · 12/05/2021 09:21

@Springflower3 but how will it know your temp if u stop using it 🙈🤣 that's all so confusing! Don't let it get you down I would just keep going as your are. Test when u want. I'm managing ok I'm not too bad first week. It's when I get to like 8+ days is when I start to get the itch. But I normally have plenty of cheapies to use and this time I don't so can't test anyway 🙈 it will probably drive me mad when I get to that point 🤣🙊 xx

Nats7504 · 12/05/2021 09:42

@Skl2021 @Springflower3 Morning ladies 😊 I’m whatever ?DPO today. Who bloody knows. Just finished SPEP and absolutely shattered and quite frankly don’t want to see DP junk for a while!!
The temping thing sounds sooo confusing. If you DTD Wednesday and Saturday you should be ok. Maybe going forward you’ll have to DTD every other day during that window so you don’t stress about which one 🙈 xx

Skl2021 · 12/05/2021 10:23

@Nats7504 yey you made it 🤣🎉 haha you enjoy this rest time 🙊 let's look forward to getting some bfp!!! Xx

Nats7504 · 12/05/2021 19:10

@Skl2021 I feel like I deserve a medal 🏅 🙈 I am. No pre-seed or legs on the air 🙌 I better be pregnant after all that. Hope you’re ok! Xx

Skl2021 · 12/05/2021 20:58

@Nats7504 yes it's such a let down when we go to so much effort and it doesn't happen 🙈 that smep takes some work!! I'm ok trying to pass the time just don't feel very hopeful at all 😣 xx

Nats7504 · 12/05/2021 21:51

@Skl2021 That’s what I’m afraid of, all that effort and AF comes. DP think we should go and get checked if it doesn’t happen this month (over 35 and TTC for 6 months) but I’m petrified it will flag something and I’d rather be in ignorant bliss for a little longer 🙈
How many days DPO are you? You’re no way close to saying you’re out this month. Nothing would indicate either way as it’s sooo early. Keep the faith lady xx

Skl2021 · 12/05/2021 22:47

@Nats7504 yes if u want to live in ignorance then do it!! It took me 10 months for one of mine so I would say 6 months is still early! But if it helps then go for it. Depends how u feel ☺️ . Im 5 dpo just have this weird feeling I'm wasting my time already 🤔🙈 I know its to early just don't feel it this month 😣🤞 xx

Nats7504 · 12/05/2021 22:51

@Skl2021 I think it is too, weird the pressure we put on ourselves 🤷🏻‍♀️ You tracked with OPKs and DTD when you needed too. In my eyes, you couldn’t have done much more 😘 You’re in with a chance until AF shows xx

Skl2021 · 12/05/2021 22:54

@nats7504 yes I did everything I could just weird how your mind plays tricks on you. I just need to snap out of this funk thankyou 😘🤞 xx

Nats7504 · 12/05/2021 22:58

@Skl2021 I’ll keep the faith for you and you do the same for me. I’ve not bonked for 7 days in just over a week for nothing 😂 It’s only early days for us both. We’ll get our BFP 😘 xx

Springflower3 · 13/05/2021 08:42

Morning ladies! Sorry about the radio silence! Had my personal trainer last night and basically passed out after 🤣🤣🤣
I will keep the faith for you both! @Skl2021 I know what you mean about the ignorance! But I think it great that your DP is so keen to go and check!
@Nats7504 I sometimes wish we didn’t know what we know! Like there is so many don’t know this and get pregnant first month!!
Lol caved and tested this morning.... obviously it was stalk white! I’m either 8dpo or 5dpo depending on which tracker I go by!! Xx

Skl2021 · 13/05/2021 08:53

@Nats7504 yes 🤞 for us all 🙌🙌. Hahah u want something at the end of all that!! 🙈
@Springflower3 there only cheapies u test away if u want 🙊 I wouldn't know what dpo you are tho so will just have to keep testing 🤣 see if anything happens!! Day 6 for me today nearly half way 🙌 second half is the hardest tho 👀🤦xx

Springflower3 · 13/05/2021 19:53

Oh @Skl2021 your gonna have to start resisting!! But it is so hard! I’ve one test left, but it’s not hard to nip to shop on my lunch break and pick more 🤣🤣🤣 are the cheapies any good before period though?? I feel like I’m winging it i now!! Xx
