This is only our second month TTC Baby #3 and I’m feeling all sorts of stressed. Babies #1 and #2 were conceived without so much as a second thought or action to help the process besides the obvious one. I had them 18 months apart and now this baby will be almost 4 years younger than my last baby.

Being a few years older this time, I took ovulation tests, we had sex 8 days in a row, I took every supplement/vitamin that even hinted at fertility, changed my diet to foods that even slightly related to fertility as well.

I’ve been symptom spotting unintentionally and it’s so disappointing to know that every symptom could also just be from my coming period if we didn’t get pregnant this month. For instance I’ve been cramping on and off the past couple days, and had really tender breasts today. I will test on Saturday but I’m just feeling a little sad and discouraged about it all. Praying for some baby dust ✨❤️

The pressure is also on because my husband told his parents we were going to try for a third (whhhhy) and now my MIL has been texting me multiple times a week to see if there’s any baby news. Which just puts more salt on me and my empty womb.

Also shoutout to any of you who have been TTC for much longer. I don’t know how long I can do this! What an emotional rollercoaster.
