Trying for baby number 3

[dani9031]

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!

@HellsBellsK no don't mind at all, the more the merrier! I made the thread in the hope it would be a safe space for anyone to join for support if they feel they need it 😊

This is also our first month of actively trying I would say as December was a bit of a write off as we were just so busy and knackered!

I'm still getting my head around all the abbreviations etc, so if I need help with any, I'll know who to ask 😂

When is the best time to use the ovulation sticks? A few days before you think you'll be ovulating? Probably a daft question, I know xx

@dani9031 it depends on the length of your cycle. My cycle is around 27 days so I start on cycle day 5 usually. The instructions will explain it all.

My cycles have been a little all over the place since I got the booster, 5 days late in December , 5 days early in January. Hopefully this month I am back to normal 🤞

I'm still getting use to the abbreviations 🙈

I’m 30 with an 8, 4 & 2 year old. @dani9031 I don’t think you’re nuts at all! My boys have a 19 month age gap and I love it.

Morning ladies, can you guys see anything? I think I'm going mad!

@HelloNope I def can on the first pic, how exciting!

@Pheepa thank you! I might have to get a ClearBlue at some point. I can't actually believe it, I genuinely didn't think it would happen because of my short luteal phase.
I'm booked in for blood tests and to see the Dr on the 16th 😂

@HelloNope I definitely can!! How exciting 😍

@HelloNope oh my goodness, yes I can! Are you going to get a first response? Looks like congratulations are in order 🎉 xx

@HelloNope I definitely can see it also. Huge Congratulations ❤️

@dani9031 @HellsBellsK Thanks ladies. I think I will do another test with first response or clearblue to double check. Should I wait until tomorrow morning though?
With DC1 &2 I just waited until my period was due to test lol

@HelloNope I see it too!

Hi all! I’m thinking about trying for a third too! I have a 5 year old and a 1 year old both conceived first month so I’m a little worried this may take longer as I’m 34 x

Hello 😊

Ahhh good luck, try to think positive as you may fall again straight away 😃 xx

Looks like it's true!
I am so excited. I'm thinking of keeping it to myself until Valentine's Day as with DC1&2 I just blurted it out.

Hope it's ok if I stick around :) x

Aw massive congratulations! So happy for you! What was your other half's reaction? And yes of course!! Xx

@HelloNope sorry, read that wrong, thought you meant you'd just blurted it out. Can't wait to hear how you tell him! Xx

@HelloNope wow! Congratulations!!

Last time I used cheap Amazon ones wondfo and they worked well for me - cycle is quite irregular so the apps don’t work for me. Just been worried about how old I am now at nearly 35.

Hoping to see lots of positives soon! X

Oh @dietcokeandchill don't say that I'm nearly 36 Birthday in April 😭

Im sure you will be fine. My Friends are 35/36 and a lot are pregnant on there 3rd and 4th pregnancies no problem at all.

@HelloNope brilliant. Love when you see it written in front of you no denying it!

@HellsBellsK that’s so good to know! Thank you!! I have had a lot of negativity from people when I have even suggested a third so you saying that has made my day!!

I'm 38 and my youngest is nearly 10, don't think even I believe that we've decided to start again! Must be insane!

@dani9031 good luck, ttc baby number 3 also ☺️ just started tracking ovulation this cycle, currently on CD6 today and patiently waiting for my peak 🤭

Hello, good luck to you too! What is CD and then a number? Still getting my head around all of this as I used a tracker app to conceive our 2nd baby xx

@dani9031 oh sorry, it means cycle day 6 ☺️ my cycles are usually 29 days. Are you tracking ovulation? I'm using the PreMom app on my phone and then the Easy At Home Tests from Amazon, you can take pictures of the tests once you've done them and upload to the app, it then tells you test reading so low, high, peak ect it's super handy and I'm hoping it really helps me. My cycles/periods are super regular.

So so exciting!! Huge congratulations ❤️❤️

Ah thank you 😊 feel slightly more clued up now! Yeah I'm using an app called ovulation calculator. It's what I used for our 2nd baby but it took us 5 months to conceive, however it did seem pretty spot on, so I'm using it again. I've also been looking at ovulation sticks and had only really heard of the clear blue ones but they are so expensive! I'm going to do some shopping about today when my baby girl decides it's eventually nap time 😂 xx
