Pregnancy Test Update for Cycle 38 || Life update and midlife crisis? || Ttc baby 3

[@elisa7357]

You are so much more than a mother, and a teacher and a wife, you are Athina, you matter, your health matters, and your mental health matters. It's OK to prioritise yourself and do what gives you energy. And do what fills your cup. This isn't a selfish thing to do. It's taking charge. Go write your book, do what makes YOU happy. As for the ttc part, do what feels right. It will come, and if not, it's OK to let things be as they are. You are an amazing momma to 2 beautiful girls. What a wealth ❤️

I feel like crying for you. Its going to be okay, Athina. Focus on your book, beautiful family and life. It isnt over just because you arent always testing! It is better for your mental health and family. Listen to your gut and heart. 💐 I homeschooled my girls for 2 years. It took me that long just to get myself in the swing of it! Youre doing great.

I didn’t ever bring this up but since you did 😂 I’ll tell you. I was TTC for nine years and I finally decided to get some tests done. My husband had a very low sperm count but not sterile. I went to UCLA and took the first steps to see what we could do. After our meeting they told me to come back when my next period…..I never started my next period ❤ I had four kids in the next eight years ❤️ I wish the best for you 😊

What an amazing story, gave me so much hope 💞💞💞

It’s ok to take a break ❤ it took us 4.5 years to conceive our first. Crazy as it sounds, when I was ok with not being a mom and didn’t feel the emotions of people announcing, I concieved the next month. My 2nd took 5 years with a year break in there. You just need to do what is good for you.

[@rentme2011]

I’m sorry this TTC for baby #3 has been such a struggle. Hopefully you’ll be able to finish your book and everything will work out/fall into place. 💚

[@aro4781]

There is no midlife crisis, but I am starting to say no to everyone else and focus on embracing my feminine energy/ happiness. Sometimes we as mom's, wives, sahm or working tend to lose ourselves in others. I am happy you have the book for you, do it multiple days a week❤❤❤

[@lindathomson9195]

Hi Athina, hope you are well.

You are doing great. I agree with another comment that said, “There is no midlife crisis.” You’re just prioritizing your health, mental health, and what brings you joy. If that means taking a break on trying to conceive, that’s fine. If that means accepting you won’t have a third baby, that’s fine too. ❤ My husband and I have been trying to conceive off and on for five years and we have zero children. We have decided to take another break for a minimum of a year and we’re six months in. We’ll be married six years in October. We’re both in our mid thirties. We are trying to accept the possibility of never becoming parents and that’s ok. Sometimes the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, a reality that isn’t always discussed around infertility. Then on the other hand it simply may not be God’s timing. Either way both could be God’s plan. Children aren’t promised, that’s a reality I have come to accept. It’s ok to count your blessings and be content with what God has already given you. Either way I support you. God bless.❤

I’m turning 33 June 1st and I swear I felt everything you said hehe it’s like I’m at a point in life where if things aren’t going to start moving the way I want them to then I need to make changes. And some would say that’s a midlife crisis - I say it’s done with the crap because we’re getting older and know what we want ❤

[@irmaebochs-homeloans6597]

It is not giving up, it is probably accepting that it will happen when it happen and not to try anymore, while not avoiding to happen. That's is why you might be feeling and I think that is a good idea. For some reason that works with a lot of people stories I have heard. You have to really let it go, not even test, at least for the pregnancy; maybe yes for the ovulation to know when you ovulated, then wait for the day of your montly.

[@missangela97]

do what is best for yourself, do what makes you happy, and enjoy life when i was a child and teen i would write short stories and poems i have been TTC since off and on as a single mother by choice

[@aleesapage7687]

Everything you’re going through / moving into goes perfectly along with the astrology we’re in. We just went through a really intense eclipse season and now we’re moving into the “new”, moving closer in line towards our dreams but in a very grounded, slow / intentional one step at a time vibes. Celebrating you ! Go for it and write that book! Everyone has those “who the f*** am I?” Thoughts. Do it anyways! Who the f*** are any of us ? 😂

[@rr12766]

Giving up didn't make it happen for me. So I say do whatever you want to do 💞

[@cassandranatashasmalls]

God blessing you

[@wendyfear8598]

Nooo dont give up xx

[@shannonb2817]

Have you given yourself a goal number of tries before moving on to fertility treatment?

[@kelleyxoxofoley3376]

Hoping it happens for you ..have you also got your husband to take supplements etc I know it’s a grey area and not for one second saying that’s the cause. your ovulating and doing everything maybe your husband might be need a certain vitamin etc .. If everything possible is covered it can’t hurt
