Third time round

[Pismo]

Hi,

Just wanting to introduce myself. I'm Pismo, I'm 27 and mummy to two boys (10years and 20months).

I was a regular here during my second pregnancy and have popped back once in a while.

We have been trying for our third for 6months now which isn't long by any means. I had the mirena coil prior to that which never caused me any issue. I know it's not been long but today I just feel desperate.

Both my best friends announced they're pregnant and I am truly happy for them (we all have boys around 20months) I feel left out and left behind. I know I am being irrational and i feel awful for feeling like this but I'm just so sad.

Sorry to come here and bring sadness, just don't know who else to talk to about it.

Hi hun,
I've not been on here long but I can really relate! We've not been trying long (stopped using protection in November, started "trying" December/ January) but I'm pretty impatient. We've wanted kids for a while but weren't in a position to mainly because I had fixed term contracts rather than a permanent job. Been at my permanent job for just over a year so we're ready to go. I feel like I've used up all my patience waiting to try so now that we're trying I need it to happen NOW! One of my colleagues who I'm quite close with recently told me she's pregnant and a couple who we're really close also started trying around new year and got lucky first time round. As you say I'm SO happy for them... but I don't want to get left behind!
I'm sure it will happen when the time is right. Fingers crossed your BFP soon!
*Hugs*

Edited to clarify that we're trying for our first... but I can relate to the feeling of being left behind!

Hi I'm 32 and we are trying for our third. We have two boys aged 9&6. I came off pill end of January and haven't had any signs of periods etc. I don't know where I am in my cycle. I feel so impatient. Want it so bad. Good luck and hope it happens soon for you x

Similar situation here too ttc#3 other 2 15 and 9.

Just started trying but had implant in since my daughter. I have no idea what my cycle is doing I'm having bleeding every couple of weeks soon heavy and some not.

I ve got a lot of crampy aches in my pelvic area and seem to be urinating more frequently but tested and bfn

We'll be TTC#3 at some point too but my cycles have been all over the place. I was on the pill (Cerazette) and whilst on it would have 6-7 weeks of nothing then 4 days of bleeding, 3+ days of nothing then 2-3 days of bleeding then back to 6-7 weeks of nothing.

My cycles when TTC#2 were between 32-56 days randomly and no set 'cycle' (although LP has always been 14 days - I just have lazy ovaries I think!)

Stopped taking the pill on 15th Feb on Drs advice as it wasn't helping my cycles (and in fact, made them a bit worse) so now I'm off the pill and so impatiently waiting for my cycles to get back to normal!

Still haven't had a withdrawal bleed (last period was 6th Jan-10th then 18th - 20th Jan). Two of my friends have had their babies in the last week (one set of twins and one singleton) and two others have announced their pregnancies this week so my FB newsfeed is full of scan pics and baby pics. I'm so happy for them but also getting more and more impatient with my cycles....

Hopefully we'll get there soon ladies!

Hi all, I've just stopped taking desogestrel, my bleeding on it was very random but can't take other pill as I've had migraine with aura symptoms in the past. So just kept with it. Anyway no idea what's going to happen, will start off with no cycle info and wait n see! Probably go poas crazy!

We are looking to ttc baby no3 and I've been all over the place with it. But I know I'd regret not trying in the future. My boys are 5 & 2yrs.

Sorry to hear you're all going through the same thing, I felt gutted for myself when my friends announced their pregnancies and I felt like a horrible person for it.

However, the feeling has passed for now. We've been really busy this past week as we've just bought our first house - so probably a good time not to be pregnant (due to finances and heavy lifting).

My cycles are around 38-40days long which is new since I had my youngest, prior to that they were much shorter.

I think this may be due to still breastfeeding.

We're hoping to buy a new house too but I was hoping to be pregnant to get out of the heavy lifting, haha. I managed it with my first 10 years ago

My cycles are still long too - I'm going to try Soy Isoflavones next cycle and see what happens

Good luck!
