Me and my husband have just started trying for our 3rd baby this month. Probably being a little bit over enthusiastic but just wanted to create a thread for anyone else in the same boat and hoping for a BFP in the next 4-6 weeks 😃

Would be lovely to hear from people hoping for the same outcome very soon!

How's everyone doing? X

Mummyme87 · 17/04/2022 18:54

Wel I’m 6DPO on cycle 6 but I haven’t ‘tried’ as such this cycle as didn’t want a baby end of dec/early Jan. Did have sex once in FW, but feeling confident it hasn’t happened as boobs feel bruised which is standard for me.

Back on it next cycle. AF will be due Sunday next week I think

Hi. On cycle 13 now for us. Had all fertility tests completed last week including HSG and everything is normal. Don’t even know if I’m pleased about this or not as no solutions at the moment! Xx

Pheepa · 20/04/2022 20:34

We decided on a more relaxed month so not been OPK testing. Though I’m now annoyed I don’t know when I ovulated! We have DTD on CD9, 11, 13 but had to miss 14 and 15. Was feeling really positive for this cycle but now less so in case I ovulated late on 14 or 15. Will try again tonight which will be CD16 but think that might be too late. Been having one sided twinges from CD11 and EWCM from CD12 but think it’s gone cloudy now, though is still stretchy. Just really wish we had been able to DTD on CD14!

Pheepa · 27/04/2022 21:52

This just happened at 10DPO! OMG!

Mummyme87 · 27/04/2022 22:32

That’s a super clear line @Pheepa congratulations!!!!!

Pheepa · 27/04/2022 22:42

Thank you! Totally shell shocked! Trying not to get too excited, know 10DPO is very early, especially at age 38! Everything crossed for a sticky bean!

dietcokeandchill · 28/04/2022 06:19

Congratulations @Pheepa!!!! great line.

I got a BFP a few days ago too. Just nervous now!

Pheepa · 28/04/2022 06:51

Amazing news @dietcokeandchill
how many DPO are you now?

dietcokeandchill · 28/04/2022 07:43

19dpo today - had some brown spotting at 14dpo and assumed period was on way but then it didn’t start, so took a test at 16dpo.

now seem to have thrush for the first time in my life though 😩

hope everyone doing okay xx

FourOclock · 28/04/2022 09:05

Congratulations @Pheepa and @dietcokeandchill 😊

allthingssparkly · 28/04/2022 10:38

I'm currently 9dpo, thinking of testing this weekend. AF due 2nd/3rd May!

The days seem to be slowing down now I'm coming to the end of my tww 😩

Congratulations to those who have got their BFP and gold luck to those testing in the coming days 🤞

ThatsNotMyMuffin · 02/05/2022 15:38

Congrats @Pheepa !

Nothing happening here I'm afraid, I'm trying not to count months we've been TTC and just focusing on being healthy, fit and having sex 😁 It's not easy though!! Feeling sad we won't be having a 2023 baby.

Pheepa · 02/05/2022 15:40

Thank you @ThatsNotMyMuffin
period was due yesterday so pleased to have got past that milestone. Line progression looking ok too. Still a long way to go for a 38 year old though! Think I’ll book in for a private 6 week scan for some reassurance

Mummyme87 · 04/05/2022 10:43

That’s a great milestone @Pheepa

I’m CD11 today so in FW, doing OPKs and trying to temp, although couldn’t do BBT this morning as was up all night with a vomiting child.
had my FSH and LH done on CD4 and they appear normal which is great, will do progesterone at 7 and 8dpo

Pheepa · 04/05/2022 20:19

Thanks @MummyMe87
Hope you’re little ones are feeling better and you have a successful BD week!

All still ok here. Think I’m now 17DPO, lines on tests getting progressively darker and starting to feel a few sicky/belly symptoms and tired too so all looks good. I’ve booked an early scan for 20th May. Still finding it hard not to worry though, I’ve never had a miscarriage or chemical and conceived 1st month, 3rd month and now 4th month so feeling like my luck is due to run out. It’s silly I know but at 38 and 10 years since my last pregnancy it’s hard not to panic

Holly3 · 13/05/2022 14:13

How's everyone getting on? My period is due around Tuesday/Wednesday going by my apps but it's all been abit over the place since I had covid.

We DTD multiple times during peak fertility through temping - had two faint lines just now on test strips does anyone see what I see? In real life the lines are pink and came up within time frame xx

Trying for baby number 3
Pheepa · 13/05/2022 16:18

Ooh I think I might see them @Holly3

i had squinters on these cheap tests and went out for a more sensitive one, ended up with the CB triple check which had a blue dye one with 10mui sensitivity and it showed up straight away, fingers crossed for you!
I think I’m 26DPO or 5 weeks + 5 days. Nausea has been kicking in a bit more since yesterday. Have an early scan a week today and am v nervous!

Pheepa · 15/05/2022 08:41

Did you test again @Holly3

Pheepa · 15/05/2022 08:42

How’s everything going with you @dietcokeandchill

Holly3 · 15/05/2022 10:48

@Pheepa

Morning! I did that afternoon I took a FRER and had a very faint pink line it barely showed on the photo but did more when I made it black and white so I'll attach and see what you think. I have more tests arriving tomorrow to take Tuesday FMU 🤞🏼🤞🏼 how are you?

Trying for baby number 3
Holly3 · 15/05/2022 10:58

i also took this one! Not sure if my eyes are deceiving me or I’m just overthinking this whole thing xx

Trying for baby number 3
Pheepa · 15/05/2022 12:23

@Holly3 think I can still see something. The waiting is so hard isn’t it!

I’m getting more nauseous so taking that as a good sign. The clinic called and advised me to push my scan back a week as they can often be inconclusive before 7 weeks so now have another 2 weeks to wait unfortunately!

Mummyme87 · 15/05/2022 17:44

@Holly3 can definitely see lines on last two pictures!!!

I’ve just ordered FRER and some other cheapies. I’m 9dpo, boobs still super sore, I’m sure sorer than usual. Also had thick mucus discharge when I went to the toilet earlier and keep getting crampy twinges in lower abdo. I do an IC today and was trying to convince myself I could see a shadow but not really. Will try again tomorrow 🤞🏻

@Pheepa nausea is a very good sign, take that as a massive positive

Holly3 · 16/05/2022 21:38

@Pheepa The waiting is the worst! I forget each cycle how awful the TWW is and how bloody slow it goes. I did another test today but not FMU and was sure there was a faint line but I'm sure I'd see progression now? I have just gone to the loo and has some pinky gunky discharge when I wiped (sorry TMI!) my periods have been abit all over the place since I had Covid so I'm not even sure what's normal anymore. This is cycle day 28 I'm usually between 31-35, if this is AF I haven't had my usual snappy day prior so who knows!
