Still trying for third baby - thread 2!

[Ifyouknowyouknowyouknow]

@AnaReis @MrsPepper82 @AFeastforCrows @MacNut @WhattheEll @TT82 @Suchardchoccy

Please tag others I’ve blatantly forgotten! And welcome to the new thread!

Well looks like I'm having an anovulatory cycle which I feel meh about. CD21 and I've got no higher than 0.69 on OPK's.
It does mean however, that my next cycle will go into the new year which is good RE possible due date.

Hope everyone is ok 💜

@AnaReis :( boooo to AF. And that giving up feeling is soo normal during that emotional low. I needed to get up for an hour due to sick 11 year old and it seemed like such a hard task - I stayed up for hours in my bed wondering if I could even survive years of bad nights 😫
@WhatTheEll boo to your non ovulatory cycle also. Do you temp, maybe tests were just not capturing the correct moment?

Two weeks today until my fertile window probably starts, of my first cycle of ttc baby number 3! Sometimes I think I'm mad to want to go back to the sleepless nights etc and add more chaos to our already busy lives... but 3 just feels so right.

Very excited to start but also nervous.

Good luck @Applesandcake 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@MrsPepper82 there's a chance I missed it for sure. I do tests daily. I'm about to post a pic and I'm annoyed if this is a repeat of last months!!

FFS! 🤦🏻‍♀️ no idea what this is as I haven't a clue when or if I ovulated I just thought I'd do one. (Ignore the attached thread, I put the test in my pocket briefly 🤣)

Will keep you updated tomorrow

Can you see a line? I feel like I maybe can but the photos never upload brilliantly here!

Hi everyone, okay if I join?

Crazily decided to start trying for
baby number 3 this month after an ‘oopsie’ moment last month and realising how gutted we were that we weren’t pregnant. Have always wanted a third anyway, but originally wanted to wait until our youngest was 2/3 (he’s 1 and eldest is nearly 5).

My periods only came back 4 months a go so are still up and down, last month it came on time but this month I ovulated almost a whole week later so I’m technically 5 days late and around 9/10dpo. Annoyingly I tested today with internet cheapies and both were bfn so I’m a little gutted.

Just wanted to join for some support as my other two children took 10 months both times to concieve, so I’m used to having to play the long game.

Definitely something there but I've had this before and it's turned into nothing or a chemical x

Good luck @L0ts and welcome!! 🥰🙏🏻

@WhatTheEll oooo this is interesting fingers crossed. Truly hope none of us need this thread here for long.
so to @L0ts only a brief visit here please 😁

@L0ts a very warm welcome! ☺️

This was todays. Not sure if anyone can see this?? I'm pretty sure it's just shadow lines. These tests are shit!! 💩 🤦🏻‍♀️

@WhatTheEll I can see a very very faint line!!

Thank you for the welcome everybody! Nothing quite says ‘it's not your month’ than af arriving immediately after you dip 2 tests does it? 🙄

Anybody else just feel ridiculous for staring at tests in all types of different lights, taking photos, fishing them out of bins etc? 😩 It’s crazy how obsessive you get when you know full well when there’s a line, there’s a line and you’ll see it despite different lighting.

Feeling a little deflated today! 😩

@WhatTheEll I do see a very faint line!!

How long has everybody been trying for? And if you don’t mind me asking how long did it take to conceive your other children?

I’m about to start my first cycle trying! I fell pregnant with my first on the second cycle and had a suspected chemical the month before (but won’t ever know for sure if it was one). My son took two cycles as well. Then I fell pregnant without planning in the spring against the odds when we had sex once five days before I ovulated! Couldn’t believe it… but sadly ended in a miscarriage. So I’ve always been lucky, but I’m 38 now and still breastfeeding my son, so not expecting it to happen so fast this time. Fingers crossed though.

I can also a line WhatTheEll!

@WhatTheEll on that first I didn’t see anything but on today’s I do. I’m hoping that you caught it just on time and it only gets darker ✌
@L0ts yeah, I also got that moment few cycles ago. But I figured I save my mental health and do not test too soon. First of all - negative too early ends up with wondering about it being too early 😂and too faint lines can still end with AF. So it’s not giving me anything but stress so I just don’t test before I am at least one day late usually.

Thanks girls 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 will keep you all posted.

@L0ts been TTC since August this year. It was my first cycle back PP. I had a chemical pregnancy so we took a month off. DS is 6.5 and took 3 months to conceive. DD is 15 months and took 18 months to conceive.
I'm 37 so fully aware it could take longer. Hopefully not as long as 18 months this time!

@WhatTheEll ooh exciting!!! I am rubbish at seeing lines but fingers crossed gets darker and darker!

welcome @L0ts! I’m 36. Conceived DC1 first cycle at 30 (had 3 mcs before him, all first try). He is 5.5 now. DC2 was cycle 3 when I was 33, she has just turned 3.

I tried for 3 cycles earlier in the year and then took a break to avoid a summer baby. Starting again in Jan 💪🏻

I can see a line!!!! Go wee on a Clear Blue digital now! lol

I know... same here... feel all sorts of ridiculous.... Sometimes it's almost as if doing a test will make me get pregnant.... 😔which I know isn't true!

This month has hit me hard... I really feel deflated 😔we've been trying for about 7 cycles now I think... I mean, I'm 41 but it was so quick with my other two that I just assumed it would be the same.... With my daughter we were NTNP for about 6 months, but then I decided to lure my husband into doing it every day during my FW and I got pregnant right away. With my 2nd we just did 2 sneaky times between my daughter's multiple night wakings and bang, pregnant at the 1st try!

This month I'm in such a low mood that I don't even know if I'm capable of having another... I think I am... I'm just in a bad place right now... I had a big cry in the morning (not just because of this, just needed a big general cry lol) and feel a bit better, albeit tired, crying really drains a lot of energy!

@AnaReis so sorry you're going through a low patch. Just know we're all here for you and can relate to what you're going through 💜 sending big hugs 🤗

@WhatTheEll thank you lovely 😊 😘

Nothing on today's test. Kind of knew tbh. 😞 onwards and upwards.

@WhatTheEll 😥oh those faint disappearing lines are worse than full blank screen. We are here with hugs!

@WhatTheEll So sorry 😩 We all know how devastating it is! Whilst ttc my second I had a few very faint lines appear and then nothing the following day, it’s like torture.
