Feeling deflated

Month 3 of TTC our 3rd child and tonight im feeling deflated.
Period due anytime between Wednesday and Sunday, had a few symptoms but a negative early test. Im very blessed to have 2 kids already and I know 3 months is still so early on but I’m to tired for this every month 😂 it really is not easy to actively try for a baby with 2 toddlers draining me 😂

I am in the same position except we are trying for #2. My period is also due anytime between Tues-Fri and all the early tests have been BFN. Lost all hope this month. Just trying to find the time to dtd in ovulation windows is really tough.

Fingers crossed for you hun! It’s definitely so exhausting! Remember you aren’t out until AF arrives. I spend so much money testing all the time and I wish I could just hold back and wait 😂

Completely understand. This is CD1 of cycle 4 TTC my third after an unexpected chemical pregnancy. We started trying again straight away, but no idea whether I ovulated that first cycle, as I didn’t start OPKs until CD21(and it ended up a 30 day cycle), cycle 2 I’m pretty sure I didn’t ovulate on, which was frustrating, as it was the Easter holidays and we put a really good effort in around what should have been the right time, and the cycle just gone, both OPK and BBT confirmed ovulation and we DTD around 3 times in the window, but AF still decided to rock up today. All very frustrating, as DD1 took 16 months, DD2 took 12 months, but I’m 40 in a couple of months so don’t feel I have that kind of time on my hands now, so it’s a bit of a kick in the teeth to know we so very nearly had a random surprise this March and I should be 16 weeks right now. Onwards and upwards I suppose….

Thinking of you! I had a chemical pregnancy before my first DS, it makes ttc even more difficult! Baby dust to you though. I hate doing OPKS and BBT as I then start to worry I’ve done them wrong. For my 2nd pregnancy I swore by the clear blue digital ovulation tests as they just gave me a straight answer lol! Xx
