My kids have been sick, & naughty, & my family daycare mum has been sick & closed for 2 days, so I've had tonnes of time off work & I've been managing all this & feel like I'm snowed under & now I am freaking the fuck out about having a 3rd & how I will cope. I almost hope I'm not pregnant so I have time to reconsider everything... Not much I can do now if I am. Oh dear.....

I feel you, Primalmama. Whenever I have to go anywhere with my two kids I imagine it with a baby as well and I just have to tell myself, "Girl, you crazy!" Doesn't help that most of my friends have 2 and are done or the moms group I just joined is full of women with just one and are completely overwhelmed the way moms with just one baby are and not thinking about another. But then I hold a baby or see my friends new babies on Facebook and I remember how squishy and cuddly and sweet smelling babies are and I can't help from hoping I'm pregnant.
Just remember when they are little babies you can just throw them in a pack strapped to you so public outings aren't too bad and then by the time they are crazy two year olds with opinions and door opening skills like a monkey on amphetamines your other two will be two years more mature! These are the lies I tell myself. Besides when they say love you like my two year old says "La Wu!" you will be so smitten it will make up for the crazy!
I am so there with you laides! I work crazy hours, so we take Fridays off and do a "Fun Friday" every week at our house where we try to take the kids all on an outing and have family time together. It's always chaos... an hour of running around like a mad woman just to get everyone ready, then just trying to keep everyone from crying, fighting, in clean diapers, fed, and not sunburned the entire time we're out. I can't imagine throwing a baby into the mix.
But I still want to. ;)
Ok, so TMI but last night DS1 & 2 were out so we got the other kids pizza, watched the footy then put them to bed and DH and I had Thai for dinner, watched a movie, had a few drinks and then spontaneously DTD! It was the first time we DTD in 6months without micromanaging it for our sway and as DH said today "we broke all the rules" in regards to position, no refresh or sylk, no candles or fans on, big O 😕 etc etc... And it was so non stress and non mechanical! I think we had forgotten what that was like! Lol!! Anyway, I was only on CD7 so no chance of PG from it but thinking we will do the BD every 4 days this month to take some stress out of getting days and timing "right", just not sure what to do between the 4 days??? We were BDing frequently with most of the boys and so don't want to increase the odds of blue??? What to do?!? 😕
Yah!!!! Mum of six sounds great, we get so involved with swaying we forget it takes the fun out of DTD spontaneously!! Probably did you both a lot of good. Just stick to every four days if you can? Xx

Yeah, the every 4 days thing takes a ton of stress out of TTC. I had way more fun this month going every three days and ignoring OPK results. Plus it was fun when we would realize tonight it's "on". ;)
I had some spotting on Thursday and had a moment of frustration as that usually means my period is going to start in five days, but by Friday it was way darker when it usually starts to look pinker and it stopped. So I'm optimistic this month. Also I've been seeing a therapist and just talking about all the anxiety about TTC has really been helping put it into perspective. We'll get our third, it will happen one way or another.
We're leaving for Greece tomorrow and I'm super stressed! Soooo much to do still and lots of packing! We'll be gone for 3 weeks-- BIL's getting married next weekend.
I'm 5dpo and have had zero signs of anything-- not even O pains! But I'm just too busy to pay attention. Taking 3 FRER tests with me and will test on Thursday I think at 10dpo.
Good luck to everyone who is still in the TWW and for those who have moved on I hope July is your month!
I'm not sure if I'm in the tww or not since I'm not even sure I o'd! Second line has disappeared now so not sure what to think. Time will tell I guess. May have had o pains on thurs bit not sure :/

I was so hopeful for this month but as of this afternoon I'm 99% sure I'm out. I feel achy and crampy just like I do right before AF arrives :(
That means we will be moving into cycle 8. No fun! :(
