TTC #3! Anyone welcome!!

[xxVickyxx]

Hey ladies

Mind if I join you in here? I’m looking to start ttc again in November. I have 2 little boys already Caleb (8) and Blake (7). My story is a long one, but I will cut it down to the basics. Last December we were very shocked to learn I was pregnant with a very big surprise baby. 3 kids had never been on the cards but despite the initial shock we were delighted. The day of our 16 week scan we received the devastating news that the baby’s heart had stopped beating and on 2nd March I gave birth to a very tiny and very special little boy named Aspen. It was without a doubt the most horrific thing that’s ever happened in my life. We decided after a few months that a 3rd baby was definitely a part of our future now and we’re fortunate enough to fall pregnant again straight away.. all was going well, we saw a nice strong heartbeat at 7 weeks. Come 9 weeks I felt something wasn’t quite right so I booked a private scan and again received the devastating news that the babies heart had stopped beating again. We had a post mortem with Aspen and sadly no reason was found for what happened, he was a perfectly healthy little boy who’s heart just stopped one day We we’re also given tests with the second miscarriage in August and found out that the baby was a little girl and she had Down’s syndrome which meant she most likely had problems that caused her not to be compatible with life. We named her Grace. I am absolutely petrified to try again but we want to have a 3rd child so badly now that the want outweighs the fear and have decided to start trying again in November. We have been fortunate enough to fall pregnant first time every time so praying for a rainbow looking forward to getting to know you all

So sorry for your losses, i hope you get your Bfp very soon xx

Welcome to the new ladies! So sorry for your losses.

Afm, expecting AF Wednesday, somewhere around 10dpo. Took a Frer and see a vvfl. Like soooooo faint I almost feel crazy bc it won't show in pics, but I definitely see something. Just wish it were darker with AF only 3 days out but I know if I am only 10dpo it's still early. Ugggh

Am currently Cd 25, 6dpo, being the poas addict i am i did a test today (even thought ive said am not doing one until Friday) and of course it was Bfn!! Still feeling so so bloated, gassy, crampy and had like stabbing pains in what can only be described as my cervix earlier!! What is really baffling me tho is i have my sense of smell back now I havent been able to smell for a long time due to allergies, ive had 2 lots of surgery and everything that hasnt worked and the only time i can smell is when i have a course of oral steriods which i havent had since July!! So i am kind of hoping this is a nice big symtom for me!! I also feel like AF is going to start at any point but am not due for another 6-8 days xx

Thanks! I may have to wait till Tues a.m. to try again bc I'm pretty much not going to be able to sleep until Monday night I work weekend nights (so go in at 11pm tonight and get off at 7am Monday morning) and normally I get a little nap till lunchtime, but my DH's work told him at the last minute he has to go to a class in the morning and we won't have a babysitter for our 3 yr old

I hope she doesn’t show and you get your bfp! I’ve got so much hope for this cycle and Ino I’m going to be deavasted if af shows. X

I am not really hopeful this month. We haven’t DTD as much as previous months . I will be upset if AF arrives too as that will be us onto cycle 9. Fingers crossed for both of us !

 

[Babybump87]

Good luck MK and Vicky !!

We defiantly need some more BFPs in this group !

CaleBlake- I am so sorry for your losses. I remember you for a previous forum but left early on because of my loss. It broke my heart watching your video and it saddens me to hear it happened again. I pray for healing for you and your family.

 

[Babybump87]

How’s things with everyone !?

No sign of AF today (CD26). Looks like it will be another 26 day cycle and she will arrive tomorrow . Decided against testing so I didn’t even buy one . Wasn’t hopeful for this cycle to start with ! Bummed out right now ! Sorry for the pity post lol x

 

[xxVickyxx]

Am not hopeful anymore either. Think i am symtom spotting too much and i actually went right through all my old posts on here from when i had my first two babies and it seems the month i gave up trying was when i got my bfp.8 have the most horrendous pains and have done since a couple of days after ovulation. Just so bloated and horrible, cant even remember if i used to feel like this after ovulation as i havent had a period for years! I am dying to test but being only 7dpo i know it will be another negative. Had a feel for my cervix too and its so very low. Definitely think am going to be out this month now xx

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

@xxVickyxx The cervix part does not mean anything. I noticed my cervix moves all day up and down. It is strange. You are still in! Good luck hun!

@caleblake - I read your story before in the forums and I am so sorry for your losses. I can't even imagine. I am so sorry that has happened to you not ONCE (it should not even happen ONCE) now but Twice. I pray you get your rainbow baby really soon.

Hope the pattern continues and you get your BFP ! It Defiantly gets harder as the months go on . Hope your pains ease soon x

My cervix doesn’t tell me anything either yesterday it was low and soft . Today it’s high and kinda soft . Feels open too ! I’ve given up on that one lol

Temp just confirmed by that looks of it ovulation today. Back story for me I was on the fence about #5 you know I’m blessed with 4 healthy children I’ve had 4 losses one of them being DS so lots to consider so mulled over it quick a lot my youngest was a horrendous pregnancy and took me 5 years to get him so I must be crazy wanting another but I just can’t help it. So now it’s all go and the last 2 bloody months I have no ewcm I used to get loads what’s all that about

So In a nutshell I feel out already and I’m not even in the 2ww yet!

I hope you ladies get your bfp soon it’s torture!

 

[Babybump87]

Yay for ovulation Wanting !

Most of us have expiereced a lot of unusual things since we started TTC ! It’s so frustrating and you can’t help but symptom spot !

Big hugs to those struggling. Don't give up


Afm managed to get a 4hr hold and used a cheapie (saving Frer for tomorrow morning) still super faint but maybe darker?
