Starting this thread to preserve my sanity next January. If I join the jan lot I'll be left on my tod so...I'm 35 this will be dc4 if all goes well, cycle 2 of trying so feeling blessed.
Roll up roll up, come and join me clutching your BFP and wondering exactly what you've let yourself in for x

I'll join you!
BFP yesterday. Edd 28/01/16, but this will be DC3 and I was a week late for each of my other two.
I'm also 35. We'd been debating having a third for a long time (already have two DSs age 5 and 3), and decided to start trying at the beginning of this year. I'd convinced myself that it wasn't going to happen, and just took a test yesterday to stop driving myself mad with wondering. I jumped the gun when taking the test - saw it was negative after 30 seconds, left it in the bathroom and went for a good cry on my bed (with thoughts of 'that's it, no more trying, I've had enough, it's not meant to be' etc etc). Went back into the bathroom to pull myself together, and there it was, a blue line.
Feeling very blessed, but frankly I'm also terrified about having a third!

Hi all...and congrats.

I'm 29, BFP this morning. Already have one DS, 4 years. EDD 30/1, but the January threads are in full swing and like you guys, I was two weeks late with DS.

I had a MMC at nine weeks earlier in the year, so trying to mentally protect myself this time around. Not sure that will work out...

I'm bloody knackered this afternoon. How are you guys feeling?

fu I have dd 8 yrs ds 6 yrs and dd2 9 mths. We also had debated our third for ages before we took the plunge - best thing ever and here I am back for more!
Have always had really straight forward pregnancies luckily but feel for you raff , the early weeks are so pants anyway the mental torment of a previous mmc must be horrid.
Have a good feeling for all of us. We are edd twins already!
Completely symptom free but af only due today & sick as dogs with last 3 Sad
Kids finished school for 2 weeks now so that should distract me x

Hi Rafferty, congratulations Smile

I don't have any symptoms yet, and I do keep forgetting that I'm pregnant. Feeling quite envious of DH who has gone out for a few beers!

Thanks fucoffee...awesome username. Can I call you fuc?! Grin

Dh also went to the pub tonight. Envy However, when I was pregnant with the one I eventually miscarried, I was constantly missing booze and pining for it (I'm a moderate pisshead). So this time I've made a resolution not to moan and be bloody grateful I'm preggers.

With you on that one. To be honest I'm more envious that he gets to get out of the house rather than the beer...

Hi all. Can I join? BFP this afternoon. Still in shock as DS is only 9mo. Also have DD who is nearly 14.

DH and I were planning to start trying properly from next month on so BFP is great news just unexpected as I think we dtd a sum total of once this cycle but there you go Blush

Thought I had PMT last few days then I was out with DSis this afternoon, she has DNephew who is 3mo. She said something about me looking after him and I thought "No I can't, I have DS and I'm pregnant" Confused

After that random thought I thought I should go home and poas. Genuine shocker though when I saw BFP.

I'll also be due 30/01/16 but I hope you don't mind me joining as the Jan thread looks very busy!

Congrats no Flowers my dd2 is currently 9 mths too!
Not sure exactly what I've let myself in for but a very wanted pregnancy!
Baby sparkles is teething and, in combination with the light mornings I am not getting much sleep. Just waiting for the chemical hit by a train tiredness to kick in......I'm so sleep deprived now maybe I won't notice this time? Grin

How is everyone feeling? My boobs are SO. BLOODY. SORE. Which is painful but reassuring considering I didn't have it with the one I lost earlier in the year.

Thanks raffertys and sparkles Smile

Yes DS has been teething recently too- he now has 8 teeth either fully through or just visible so he's been busy! Yeah I'm a tiny bit terrified I must admit! But very happy and very blessed.

Slept like a log all last week (should've known) but barely a wink last night, my mind was racing. Boobs are surprisingly ok, they killed me from very early on with DS but not so much with DD so who knows.

Did two more tests first thing this morning, another basic CB and a digital which said 2-3 weeks. GP appt on wed.

I'm in Ireland so won't have the same appts as you guys but I'm probably going to get an early scan and non-invasive testing at about 9 or 10 weeks. I had the Harmony test with DS and found it great but I may try the Panorama test this time, all being well. I believe it's a bit cheaper than the Harmony.

Morning all, can I join you all too please. I got a very feint bfp on Tuesday but not a really convincing one till Thurs. I think I'm due 29/30th Jan too.

I'm 32 and have a 2.5 DS. So far I have sore boobs, and I am very hungry, but the real give away has been that taste in my mouth. Last time I threw my guts up so I'm so happy to be hungry.

Hi there goulash & tea Flowers congratulations.
I have confirmed with a cb digi this morning which always makes it more real for dh I find.

I'm not usually a worrier but have never been pregnant & breastfeeding before and am a bit concerned re hormone levels and keeping the new pregnancy safe.....nothing I can do but the same old adage, the 12 week scan can't come soon enough.

Sense of smell might be starting to ramp up, have to wait & see.

Hope you all feeling well.

Hi guys mind if I join?
I THINK my edd is 26th jan but have no idea when I ovulated so could be later. I am 27 and this will be our first. Got my bfp today, tbh still in shock, didn't expect it as this was only cycle 1 and we must have conceived before we really started trying while we were on honeymoon. Have realised I am SO clueless so afraid there may be lots of stupid questions coming for you more experienced ladies!
