Sorry thread crashing again . All the best for those who are testing soon. FXed Pbn3 xx. Can't wait to have all you lovely ladies in the DD thread!

I just told my sister about my pregnancy today. Well tbh DS3 kinda did. He went and got my scan pictures and showed them to her lol. (He's only just turned 2 so he doesn't know a thing about it lol). She was like "are you crazy? You really want 4 boys to feed as teenagers don't you!"
Oh yep. The pearlers just keep coming

Well af showed for me. [emoji22] I need some advice. How do you ladies stay optimistic through the 2ww? As I said before, I've been pregnant twice within 3 months in the past 5 years but the last one took a really long time and required multiple rounds of clomid and IUI, even though all tests were always normal. Now I spend the whole 2ww stressed and convinced I'm not pregnant. I know we're older now (me-33 and dh-44) but we're both healthy. How do I switch that thinking and be confident in my body again?

I'm also swaying boy which is supposed to raise fertility. I'm taking supplements like wheatgrass with my prenatal.

I know that feeling covered in blue!

Quinn- thats a hard one. Im really struggling more than i thought I would through the 2WW. I guess the bonus of the 2ww compared to waiting for O is that you're half way through. I mean all you can do is keep trying. Sometimes the stress of opks and charting can be too much and a month off is always good if you could manage. But its certainly not easy but i guess being positive would hopefully mean soon you will see a BFP

So sorry Quinn

Have you been charting at all?

I don't have any answers for you as in staying positive during 2ww - its a rollercoaster every time up and down and all around. I find it most bearable by being active in these threads as I feel like I'm getting involved with others ttc, its exciting and fun and it makes the wait go quicker!! You definately need to find a way to remove the negativity as it is such a hindrance!! You could try googling 'how to turn negativity in positivity' maybe?? I believe in this mind power stuff so to speak and actually went through some mental exercises a few months ago suggested by a friend who does readings etc and I cant begin to tell you how helpful it was!

I'm so sorry Quinn. I always have this fear deep down we will not be able to get pregnant. We got preg with DS1 and we tried when he was 9 mos old for DS2. Hubby has a variocele so I'm always afraid it's turned into a harmful one (the first time his counts were above normal but still scares me!) I just try to keep super busy. I have started work and that has helped my obsessing tremendously. I know several people who struggled with number one, even two that had to have IVF and with number two they were pregnant in no time! Once your body know you can handle pregnancy, I think it makes it easier! Hang in there momma!

Well looks like O happened yesterday. I'm kinda bummed though... I always see temps jump WAY up when pregnancy is possible. ������

Vent time when I told mum test was still negative earlier this arvy she was like oh well at least you've go two gorgeous boys (uurrgghh cant believe she said that!!!). I know she's never been very supportive of me trying for a 3rd but as much as I love her I'm glad she's going home tomorrow. And if I happen to get a bfp I'm going to lie and say its negative because I want at least a few weeks without unintentional or intention dumb comments!!
edited to say: the comment my mum made wasn't done so in a supportive it'll be ok way, it was shrug of the shoulders, be glad for what you got, what's wrong with you, why on earth are you trying again kinda way

(((HUGS))) I am sorry she is not getting support from her. My dad and grandma (dad's mom) think I am crazy to be TTC again too.
