Ovulation tests using my Mira and Life Update || Where have i been?|| Ttc baby 3

Ovulation tests with the Mira analyzer and deciding how we proceed with our ttc journey. Trying to conceive is a strange thing. You never realise how many decisions you will need to make until you face them and have no idea how to move forward. Sometimes even the hope of a positive pregnancy test can't keep you going.

Hi, My name is Athina. I am a 30-year-old mama to two beautiful little girls and wife to the best husband a girl could as for, Leonidas. We live in a small Suburb East of Melbourne, Australia. I am a Stay at home mom. I post videos about motherhood, cleaning and everything in between. I love being able to express myself without driving my husband mental :)
I would love it if you subscribed and joined me on this journey of being a mommy and so much more.

I was ttc for nine years and just when people asked if we wanted any kids hurt so I can image what comments from strangers can do 😢 Take care of yourself ❤.

It's not a bad idea! Hubby & I decided at the beginning that we would take a break every 3 cycles. It REALLY helped us mentally, especially since we ended up having to try for 18 months. So it's worth a try

[@colineviche792]

I think it's a great idea, Athina! I've been watching for videos from quite some time and your resilience, perseverance, and patience are incredible, but you do deserve a break, and you deserve to focus on other passions and projects. I completely understand that it's hard to let go, even just for a bit, but I'm sure it will do you a lot of good! I wholeheartedly hope that baby n°3 is only a few months away, but in the meantime, enjoy writing, filming content, and doing everything that you love! Good luck and have a fun summer!!

Hey I feel you! I appreciate your videos and your in my prayers. Much love sent!

[@apatchofblue69]

I’m just happy to see your lovely face! I’ll always be wishing the best for you ♥️. I just got my BFP for #3 and it’s so surreal. It made me think that it’s such a blessing and how I want you to feel good and complete with your family 🥹. I’ll be here for whatever you want to do on yt 🤗.

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Congratulations 🎈🎉 that is amazing. Thank you 😊

[@elisa7357]

You do you Athina. Just remember, you are more than a mom and a wife. Do what makes you happy 😊 ❤

[@aro4781]

Exactly 💯 ❤

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Yes I think we tend to forget that don’t we? ☺️

[@Lucy-Wilkinson]

Hey, glad your ok, i did start to wonder if something had happened, as far as new things on the channel, thats your choice you do what makes you happy, personally im here for the ttc videos so i don't tend to watch other videos but it doesn't matter if you put other videos on, there will always be a mix of people like me who want to see ttc videos then others who will watch all videos, you do you !!

Almost cycle buddies, can’t wait for testing time

[@AshJ2203]

I think taking time off is just what you need. And honestly sometimes that’s when it happens is when you’re not trying. We tried off and on for a year to conceive #5, and I had never in my life had a problem conceiving first cycle so it was really getting to me. Took a break after a year and of course that’s when it happened lol.

[@Precious_love_one]

You need to do it before your ovulation like 24h before ovulation and 24h after ovulation not waiting for ovulation to do it cause ovulation is no live long not over 12h i think sperm can live for 3-5 days that’s why it’s recommended on the pik just before ovulation and 24h after this pik if you always wait ovulation confirmation will never work sorry i tested it multiple times i have 3 kids and it’s worked this way for 3 of them

[@karenmacgregor55]

I know sort of how u feeling , people in my life would make comments like what u were getting . So we have taking a year out and we r 7 months in , it done us world of good . Iv lost weight and im in better place mentally and i have applied to do a nail course but we are going to return to ttcing but slowly but I’m glad we have token the time out

[@briellepittman115]

Finally got my positive

💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🍾🍾🍾🍾

[@AellaWW]

Have u ever posted full Mira cycle chart here? I read that to confirm ovulation one needs to see 3-4 days of elevated pg3. Do u always have that?

[@mrspots3491]

what app do you use?

[@iamshae1175]

I know this is a weird suggestion. But after you baby dance have you ever thought to put your legs up for like 15 mins ? I had to do this with my first pregnancy I was having the hardest time conceiving. I literally put them up on the wall with my back on the bed 😅

[@Bluemeadows88]

Honest question, why not adopt?

[@brianna2244]

I would LOVE some homeschooling content ❤

[@athenaspencer4684]

Athina...OMG...lol...I just noticed something. My husband's name is Leoncio. ❤️❤️❤️👋😁

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Love it ☺️

[@apatchofblue69]

5:54 sorry just got to this part. When we tried for #2, we took a month off and the next cycle happened to be it 🥹. I think a break could be an amazing thing!

[@shandac_m_1987]

I got pregnant the month my man gave up and stopped trying

[@CrystalM1917]

I would love to follow you on a book/writing channel or you can bring it here either or is fine.

[@missangela97]

best wishes and baby dust June 22/24 im cd 7

[@yadiracantoralpena1055]

Are you using preseeds? And both of you taking dha, q-10 ? That helps

[@CrystalM1917]

Hi Athina! I finally got a bfp with what seems to be a viable pregnancy after 5 yrs and 2 months of ttc #3. I am 6 weeks tomorrow and am 38. I am happy but also feel weirdly ambivalent and anxious, not just about if everything will turn out ok but just my age and after all this time, is it really what I wanted after all? I feel like I'm having a bit of ptsd from so many yrs of ttc. 🫤 I hope my fears go soon. So strange to now be on this side and it not be the feeling I imagined I would feel if it finally ever happened again. 😕 another perspective for you that if you're at a good place, it may not be so bad after all, not saying you would feel like i do, just that I didn't think I'd feel like I do either. Congrats on feeling good about all other aspects of your life as well, we're all much more than moms and wives.
