Trying for baby number 3

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!

Congratulations @Ellie1311 ❤️❤️

I'm not convinced by the line I'm just not sure, going to test with FMU tomorrow with a FRER and see. Hope everyone is doing ok?? Xx

I'm doing okay but have had some crampy, dull aches today. Period is due on Saturday and I really don't think this is our month, as I'm pretty sure the pains are the start of that 😩 I've felt a bit queasy today too, but don't want to go out and get a test to be disheartened xx

Hi,

Can i join? We are ttc for a 3rd but it doesn’t happen this month we are going to stop for a few months as we have a holiday abroad early May and wanted to be 12 weeks plus. I have a 5 and 2 year old.

Currently in the 2ww and I hate it. 4 dpo and I feeling a bit warmer than normal but I’m over thinking. Also over thinking if we are out of our minds having another…but definitely my last haha

Hello @Waddlegoose the more the merrier 😊

Really hope you get your BFP soon! This is our first month of properly trying too. Our youngest is 4 months and I've had those moments too about "are we mad?" haha! But I think you always know in your heart and we definitely want another 😊 will be lovely to see how your journey progresses xx

Hi everyone. I’m on month 11 of TTC my third. Conceived my first and second without any issues but now we’ve been referred to fertility clinic this time. I had my second when I was 32, started trying this time 20 months later and nothing 😭. I just turned 35 at Xmas x

@dani9031 I did a FRER this morning and can't see anything I'm super confused. Going to TRY and not test until Monday Atleast xx

HelloNope · 11/02/2022 07:56

Hi ladies,
I've woken up to some spotting after I went for a wee. I've never had a chemical pregnancy before but I'm wondering if this is one because today/tomorrow is when my period was predicted to start.
I really will be gutted :(
I didn't have any spotting this early with DC1&2.

I'm going to go and get another test and see what it says but I'm not sure if I should just wait.

Pheepa · 11/02/2022 08:05

Not good news here either, pretty sure AF has arrived on CD24, pink CM from yesterday is now definitely red. Onwards onwards next month for us. Good luck ladies!

Pheepa · 11/02/2022 08:05

*and upwards

MummyMe87 · 11/02/2022 08:14

Sorry for all the disappointment this morning. It’s so bloody tough.

@Holly3 just looked at your CB from yesterday and I think it looks more like an evap if I’m honest. I had one very like that last cycle alongside a very convincing indent on a FRER 🤬

I’m CD4 today, pleased this part is nearly over now, usually finish period today. And the TTC will commence next week. Still haven’t decided if I’ll do CB digital Ov tests aswell as cheapies

dietcokeandchill · 11/02/2022 08:23

Sorry for all the disappointment today - it’s so hard to plan anything when you don’t know when/if it’s going to happen. That’s what I’m struggling with at the moment.
On my first month of trying in December I began spotting 5 days before AF due and I hoped it was implantation but then period started properly 2 days later and 3 days earlier than due. It was like hoping I was pregnant messed up my cycle completely and totally messed with my head. Skipped a month in January and now going to try again this month. Long cycles feel like I have ages to wait!
Hope for positive news from you ladies soon x

Hi everyone! Can I join? I'm almost 35 with 3 year old and 20 month old. Second month of TTC and AF due this weekend. Scared to test as had a chemical last month.

Was pregnant first time with other two!

@satelliteheart I absolutely hear you on not knowing if it's the right decision!! I swing from thinking it's a great idea to what the hell am I doing! It's definitely a very conscious decision for us with the third, feels a lot more planned than 1 and 2. Can't imagine what a day at home with a newborn and two other kids will be like?! Plus morning sickness with two little ones!!

Aaaaagh!

table4chairs · 11/02/2022 08:36

Hello, can I join? We have been trying since September for #3 with no luck. I think part of it is finding time to dtd frequently enough.

I fell first time with my other two who are 3.5 years and 18 months. And feeling like my age (37) is the reason it's taking longer?

AF was due yesterday but it hasn't come yet, but I can feel that it's on its way and it's not that I'm pregnant. And I forgot to POAS this morning anyway.

Bex1010 · 11/02/2022 08:37

Hi @table4chairs sounds like very similar ages to mine. Agree re finding the time to DTD, just so knackered!

satelliteheart · 11/02/2022 09:56

@Bex1010 YES! That's exactly how I feel, swinging between definitely want this to this is mad stop now! And definitely agree this one is a much bigger decision! With DC1 DH was desperate for a baby and just waiting for me to decide I was ready and one day I just knew I wanted a baby. DC2 also a super easy decision, we knew we definitely wanted 2 and a small age gap. I had a CS with DC1 so we waited till he turned 1 and started trying and got pregnant straight away

Number 3 is a much bigger decision with no obvious answer which I'm really struggling with

Period arrived late yesterday so at least that wasn't too bad. Only 3 days late, not 75!!! Will try again next month but won't be doing any ovulation tests or particularly tracking, just going to carry on as normal minus contraception and see if it happens or not

ThatsNotMyMuffin · 11/02/2022 20:04

Sorry @HelloNope, I've had a chemical recently and it's heartbreaking. Look after yourself!

Agree about the time, only managed once during the fertile period this cycle 🙄

HelloNope · 11/02/2022 20:32

@ThatsNotMyMuffin I've done another test and the line is still there. And the spotting has stopped so maybe it's nothing? I will keep you all updated. X

Pheepa · 11/02/2022 20:44

@hellonope sending baby dust x

ThatsNotMyMuffin · 11/02/2022 21:25

@HelloNope that's good news! I'll have all my fingers crossed for you!
