Pregnancy Test Update for Cycle 42 || Taking a break from ttc and other news
Sometimes life just happens and we have to decide whether to let it change things or remain the same. So here I am trying something new. Since doing the same things for almost 3 years has not really done anything for us, Who knows maybe a break is what my body needs.

Thank you so much for this video ..i needed this because am putting so much pressure on myself ..but am feel relieved after listening to your advice..i should be thankful and accept the situation if its not happening let my happiness be my priority and concentrate on myself .. thank you so much ❤❤❤
Really miss you.I wish you'd come back and do some more videos❤
Hi , she still have mild hearing loss or she okay now?? Because my daughter also have hearing loss and it’s hard to believe for me
2 years later I still feel like a shit mom for not giving birth and not getting to have a baby vaginally. I feel old a failure. When does it get better? 🥲🤣
It has been 4 years now. I can definitely say it gets better. You realize that you have your little one and no matter how you birthed them you have them here, strong and healthy and that’s all that matters. I still have my moments but it does get better. You did the best for your little one.
@@AthinaKarpouzis that makes me feel better. For the most part I think I have a negative view on myself because I feel like I failed. I’m happy I can still have babies but also feel like I was such a failure and wish I prepared for the fact that it could have ended up in a c section.
Taking a break will do you great! Enjoy the summer with your family!
Thinking of you! Best of luck! Hugs.
Lovely to see you was wondering where you were xx
Do you think your husband snuck and had a vasectomy? Or have you tried going to your ob and asking for clomid
That's an odd remark even a joke.
@@kirstenknight2518 just asking a simple question. Been watching her for years!
Lol that’s what I’ve been thinking too. She said they don’t normally do that in their country…but that doesn’t mean he won’t go behind her back 🤔
@@chargersgirlkarina1857 right something happened
When you don't think about it it sometimes happens unexpectedly
Have a great break❤. I'm happy that you are happy. Congrats to your brother and his wife. ❤
We’ve been TTC around same time I’ve been following you since, I took a break as well. I also did some work with my OB and come to find out my left tube has fluid and is damaged, I’m waiting for a surgery date to get it removed. I may never have a kid but thank God you have two. Give your self a much needed break and good luck
I know ALOT of your subscribers have suggested you take a break from ttc and deal wth your mental health and enjoy your life. Nice to see you taking the advice.
Ditto on last message but look every day to see if you’ve been on…do miss them!!
Nice to see you again xxx
It’s easier said than done I know but try to relax stress and being tense can have such an affect on or body’s try not to focus on everyone else having babies and getting pregnant take time ..for us on relaxation mind and body look into meditation techniques.. it’s know sounds crazy but can have such a impact to slow your brain down..your not missing out your preparing your body and looking after your mental health x
*take time for you *
Crickets!
I understand when you are on about taking a break you know you need but find hard to come by. External factors are a God send when we truly need a break. ❤ i also know the fear of when you take a break you fear that you will enjoy not trying so hard etc and your mind will enjoy the break that you eventually just stop altogether. My partner wont let me try until i see a doctor but im not friends with the phone 🙈 but i have had 4 miscarriages (2 within 2 months of each other recently). Hope you month yeilds the results you are after and maybe gives you the courage to even take an extra month for selfcare 🫶 ❤
The noise is made by cicadas :D I live in Greece too and it's basically the sound of summer :D
It is the sound of summer. 🏖️ ☀️
I think couple of months would be better than one month to take a break from ttc..?
That is what I am kind of working towards. One step at a time. ☺️
❤
I’m so glad to see ur video , glad ur ok 😊 sometimes taking a wee break a good thing . I’ve being taking time off since 2023 and it done me the world of good ❤❤
I think sometimes physically trying to get pregnant and testing 7-10 dpo is stressful.. I think you may be stressing yourself out.. I got pregnant and I wasn’t even physically trying.. I was on BC but on an antibiotic so wham.. that’s how I got pregnant.. baby dust your way!!
Thinking about you. I feel you on a break myself. It's hard
Take care during this break and have fun
have fun and enjoy your time with family and friends
Hey, i was told about a youtube channel called dr mindy peltz she educates women on fasting to boost fertility etc, you might like to take a look, if not thats ok but just thought id share this with you ❤
I was only thinking about you the other day, i wish you well for the next month while you take this break. Have fun with your family take time for yourselves. Sending love ❤
Sending positive energy this month ✨️
I clicked so fast
I was very shocked to see your name pop up with a video still praying for ya!!!
We miss you☹️ I hope everything’s ok ❤
And now you all know why she runs away and stops sharing because she cant make anyone happy! Athina keep doing you sweetheart and do what you want no matter the nasayers saying when running their mouths! Much love from hubby and I who are your favorite cheerleaders! And yes my hubby watches her videos and comments! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I used to watch your videos when I was TTC with #3. We tried so so hard and I was obsessed with getting pregnant and peeing on a stick. Got tested to make sure I could still get pregnant, my doctor told me I needed to relax and stop thinking about it. Planned a birthday trip for my husband, we acted like teenagers just having fun and being intimate without it feeling like a task to achieve a specific goal. I got pregnant that weekend! Praying for you that it happens but try to see if relaxing and letting go might help you, I could have punched my doctor when she suggested that but after a year of trying, one weekend of not caring did the trick!
So strange not to have you with tests here 😕
I was just thinking this, I've been checking for pregnancy tests for a few days, hope athina is ok
It's 10 dpo for me today. I tested first thing in the morning with clear blue and left it in the bathroom, came back half an hr and it was positive. Then few hrs later tested with a cheaper test and it was negative. I'm feeling a bit sick and my period is due next Wednesday. Some of the symptoms are similar to my period but others are not. Yesterday I was feeling different too. I'm nervous, just want to get an answer.
Looking forward for testing days
Update❤
me and my fiance have been trying to conceive for 7 months now. praying for our first soon 😩💕 baby dust to all the ones who’s been trying
Hi Athina! I hope you and your family are doing well and enjoying the summer. I have been enjoying the videos no matter what you talk about 🥰
I feel like you’ve become a bit obsessed with the ttc journey. Girl, go live life and just be happy with what you’ve been given. Sometimes these videos give off the impression that all you do is try to keep your sanity with the children you already have whilst constantly taking tests throughout the day. That’s not living!! Also, it’s not a good look when you always seem annoyed with your children yet you desperately want another child. It’s strange.
I agree 💯 But she is going to get upset about this comment. She doesn't take any kind of criticism well. Even when it's from a kind place. She'll probably mention your comment in one of her next videos.
I was going to not comment but your comment was just too slimy and underhanded. So, you see a little video of her and you think she is annoyed of her kids? What the heck do you know what goes on in people’s homes? You must not have kids. It’s hard doing different tasks without being interrupted by kids. It doesn’t mean we are annoyed by them. You are entitled to your opinion but you will never know anyone’s reality.
@@thisislife6197 I’ve actually been a long time subscriber. I don’t comment often, but I had to comment on the things I’ve been noticing over the past couple years. As you said, I’m entitled to my opinion, as are you. And I do have kids. Two, actually, and I was a SAHM for 8 years. The difference is, I definitely realized when to stop having children because I felt even overwhelmed with the two I have. Athina seems overwhelmed with her two children yet still obsessed with TTC. I just personally feel she needs to go live life and just enjoy the family she has. She’s admitted to being a compulsive tester, so imo, she needs to find some sort of therapy that will help her relax and break away from this a bit so that she can enjoy life more. Have a great day!
@@snengelman yup. Good for you. However, whenever I see someone trying for a baby, it makes me happy. If you are someone that doesn’t want more, then yes, please stop. But, if someone wants more, I say go for it. We have enough people not wanting kids. We need people who want to be parents and want to expand their families. We will all have good and bad days when it comes to family life. I’ve never met anyone that said raising kids is so easy. If people stopped just because they got annoyed with their kids, we wouldn’t have anyone having more than 1 kid.
You have definitely tested less in recent times. I would love to swe Greece in the summertime from tour point of view, i was there in early June for your Orthodox Easter, so i know it is different. ❤
Go to the beach, enjoy the sun☀️🏖️
U can always download apps for u to track ur period.
those apps aren’t always 100% accurate
Athina, thank you do much for your video, i missed it so much. Good luck, enjoy the month of August, and let us see what's happening. Greetings from Vienna
Idk if you will see this and this comes from the nicest place I saw another tv ladies video and she said she heard it was best chances to baby dance the day before the day and the day after ovulation to get the best chance I really hope you get your positive soon ❤
Actually the day after ovulation is too late as a egg is only viable for 12-24 hrs it's always best to babydance the day of your positive opk and the day after which is ovulation day. Leaving it untill the day after ovulation could be too late.
Love to see you no matter what you post x You do what you feel whether you take a break or not x
cd 4 here mira updates is ok i have ADHD combined baby dust to you and others TTC
