This is currently where I am... I'm on CD 14 - could be anywhere from 0-6DPO - it's a bit of a drag... I personally, reckon I ovulate on CD10 - which puts me at 4DPO...

It's a total drag being so unsure.... I have enough internet cheapies so I'll just be testing every morning with FMU - I also bought 2 FRERs and 2 CBDs - just to confirm if and when required... if at all..

It took my 9 months to conceive my middle child and I found out I was pregnant with my 3rd, 2 weeks after making the decision to try... I always thought/felt like my 3rd was my last child and at the time I was relieved...

But as much as I hate the TWW, I LOVE the anticipation of it all. Is there a ball of cells rapidly dividing inside of me right now?! Eeeeeeeek!!

Well.. Results are in. Yes there WAS a ball of cells rapidly dividing within me. We've made a baby. I can't believe it!!!!!

I'm in total shock, don't really know what to make of it all. I just took myself off for a midnight wee (and another cheeky test) and its still positive, nothing's changed...

4 children? Uh, I'm not entirely sure how I'd cope... :(

Unbelievable.

I think I need a week to let this all sink in..

So, that baby wasn't to be..

BUT it's nearly 3 years later... My children are now 13, 6 and 5.. My partner graduated from university this year with first class honours and now has a well paid job.. The only problem is between then and now, I've completed a college access course and am currently half way through MY first year at university, completing a social work degree..

We're actively trying this month and aiming for a September baby - this means I can finish year one and defer year 2 of university until September 2017.. And if it doesn't happen this month then realistically it won't happen at all... As of March 2017, there will be cuts to families of more than two or more children (born after March 2017) - so we couldn't afford to survive while I was still a student...

Keeping everything crossed! X

I can sympathise with you it's so frustrating! We are ttc number 2 and have been for a year. It's hard when financial constraints are in the way, I'm hoping to go to uni in about 4 years when the kids are at full time school. I've currently got a 3 year old. Sorry that pregnancy wasn't meant to be but it's lovely that you've updated your post as so many don't.

ne thing I hadn't anticipated is that I might not be pregnant - which is becoming increasingly apparent... My cycles are 2-3 days longer than they were when we conceieved at the first available opportunity..

We are now both in our 30s, so 3 years old... and I' slightly worried that I don't have another healthy egg, or the ability to carry a pregnancy to term, in me...

I'm not really sure what we'll do if I'm not pregnant this cycle.. that will literally be until I graduate in June 2018... by then I'll be 24 and my other 3 children, so old, I may not want to (my eldest will be 16, #2 will be 9 and my youngest 8.)..

Perhaps I shuld just be happy with what I have rather than tempting fate? I really feel, like in my bones, that another pregnancy would not be good for me... I can't explain it..

I wish 2013 baby had worked out.. I still have it's recorded heartbeat on my phone... :(

I think managed to do it 1st cycle - again! I can't believe it.. We're just holding back on the excitement as I'm 4 days away from AF showing up, so we realise anything could happen...

I don't especially feel pregnant (obviously, it's so early), I didn't really have the same intuitive feeling that I had the last time, I tested and tested because I KNEW I was pregnant.. this time, I wasn't so sure...

But anyway, provisionally 'We're PREGNANT!!! ARGHHH!'

Im ttc baby number 3 took a test with frer and got faint positive at 9dpo took another one yesterday at 10 dpo with digi clearblue was a bfn. I really hope af doesnt show up.

I just tested with a digital and got BFN BUT I did buy some storebrand tests and got a BFP again, as well as more BFPs on some ICs... I'll save my last digital for the 14th - when I'm due AF and I'll keep testing with ICs for progression and take my remaining storebrand in two days time...

ARGH!! I can't believe it! Doesn't feel real...

Scared already for a 2nd C-section!

Ok, so I'm beginning to think I am imagining this "pregnancy" - I am seeing NO progression from 2 days ago, whatsoever. Two mornings in a row I have tested with FMU and nothing is getting any darker, or starting to show up any quicker...

I have 4 FRER tests with visible-to-the-naked-eye and from-arms-length lines, which showed up around the 5 minute mark - I even have a 'control' test that I took with water JUST to see if they were faulty - and that is stark white, not even a hint of a grey evap or an indent...

..I just don't understand... My two store-brand tests showed up faintly, but are way easier to see out of the case and laid on white paper - but they're blue and are there... Still 2 BFNs on store-brand digital...

I just thought that I would have at least had some progression using FMU...

I'd be really grateful if you'd take a look through my HPT gallery and let me know what you think of my tests this cycle?
