What can I do?

Hey ladies! My daughter is 3 yrs 3 months old. We started getting her used to her potty at 18 months. At 21mo I tried the 3 day potty training. That didn't turn out so well. Not a single success, and lots of carpet cleaning. Every 2 months after that I've tried the 3 day. In between I'll take my daughter to the bathroom with me when I have to go and she'll read her potty book. I'm not one for pull-ups as I see them as just more expensive diapers. When we train my daughter wears big girl undies that she loves. After over a year and a half of trying she still has yet to pee or poop in the potty. Hers, or the regular one. We found out september that we're expecting. I'm due in May. We'd love to have her fully potty trained by then. I only mention this because I think my hormones are making me over sensitive, and a bit hopeless. I have no idea what else to do. I cank( offer her rewatds if she has yet to actually full understand the use of it. What would you ladies do?

Which 3 day method did you use?  There are several different ones out there and some work better than others.

Can you explain how you were doing the 3 day method for me, being as specific as possible.  That way I can offer as specific advice as possible.

I actually started the 3-day after seeing your journal. I found a book on the program online, bought it, and started that weekend.

So you had her in underwear all the time during the daytime at least (including at naps) and you were basically stalking her and every single time she starts peeing/pooping you were getting her to the toilet ASAP?

Were you using rewards at all?

Did you do the process a full three days where you totally focus on potty training and basically nothing else, staying home the whole time?
