Anyone trying for no 3?

237 replies

ELR · 30/07/2013 15:10

Going to start trying for a third in August, I already have a dd10 and a ds7. I don't mind a boy or a girl but if I could choose I would choose a girl as still have all dd gorgeous little dresses and cardigans don't know what happened to ds clothes!
Anyone else mad enough to try for a third??

Definitely bfp! 1-2 weeks on clear blue digital!! Can't believe it Grin

TwoCrazyKids · 28/08/2013 08:46

Congrats madasabox!!! I'm going to go get a first response this morning. Have my first wee stores in Tupperware!

basilafawlty · 28/08/2013 08:26

congrats, madasabox! I don't think you're mad at all (despite your username!)

Madasabox · 28/08/2013 08:03

Am I mad to be having a third? I have always wanted 3, but now I have a BFP (somewhat accidentally) I am beginning to wonder if I am off my head. I don't know anyone with 3. My first two are just about to turn 5 and just about to turn 2, so my gaps are quite nice.

basilafawlty · 28/08/2013 07:35

I'm spotting today too. Oh well.

I conceived dd2 in first month of trying, but dd1 took over two years and I was much younger then than I am now so I'm not feeling too optimistic. That said, if it doesn't happen, it doesn't. Because I'm lucky enough to be blessed with two wonderful daughters I won't be devastated if it doesn't happen this time. But I want to give these last few eggs of my Autumn years a chance! I know if I don't try, I'll always be wondering "What if..."

ThreeGoMad · 28/08/2013 00:17

Oh yay, Two that's sounding like a BFP to me Grin

I just remembered I should have been taking folic acid for months and bought some Blush Poor neglected third child :(

Handsfullandlovingit · 27/08/2013 19:48

Twocrazykids, yay! That's really cheering. ELR, I'm in the same boat, it's so hard not to get excited about minuscule symptoms, I'm being very cynical. We were burgled over the weekend, I have 3 different house guests this week and then a wedding on sat and ds's christening with 50 odd guests for lunch on Sunday. I don't have the headspace for symptom spotting right now! Best of luck to all fellow nutters.

TwoCrazyKids · 27/08/2013 19:05

Thanks guys, I couldn't resist and just did another test but different brand this time and it's also a faint bfp...

debs and basil both of you are almost exactly the same as me too, accept I have a dd and a ds. It's also first our month ttc and af due on thurs but started with some spotting today so looks like it isn't my month, my boobs are absolutely killing me though which is really unusual. I also fell both times in first month with last two!

We are trying for number 3 and have DD1 11 & DD2 8, it's our first cycle and AF due Thursday! Spooky how similar our situations are basilafawlty! I think people will think we are mad but have just decided its now or never and we love being parents! Fingers crossed this month is successful, I fell first time with my last two children.

basilafawlty · 27/08/2013 18:47

Hi all

I'm 36. Have dd1 10 and dd2 8. First cycle of trying to conceive number 3 - AF due on Thursday but hoping it doesn't arrive (though, realistically, I know I'm unlikely to get THAT lucky! ;))

Congrats, Twocrazykids! Good luck everyone else!

TwoCrazyKids · 27/08/2013 15:43

I'm still feeling a bit skeptical. I'll wait to celebrate when I get a proper bfp. Boobs very tingly. I'm afraid it's just an evap. It's defo there and pink but still very faint...

27mummmy2boys · 27/08/2013 15:30

Would love another!

pommedechocolat · 27/08/2013 13:57

Whoop whoop!! Thats very exciting two! Congratulations. How are you feeling? Have you told your dh?

Meant to say, it wasn't first morning urine, it was my second wee of the day Blush

TwoCrazyKids · 27/08/2013 11:31

It's darker again! I think it's a bfp Grin It's still very faint...

pommedechocolat · 27/08/2013 10:44

How did it go two?

ThreeGoMad · 26/08/2013 22:38

That's allowing for some impressively obsessive testing Grin Hadn't thought of Amazon, will take a look.

TwoCrazyKids · 26/08/2013 22:31

It came up within time limit but I'm not sure if it is grey or pinky. It's too faint to tell...I feel very weepy and really hot tingly boobs, I'll test tomorrow anyway..I hate symptom spotting!!!

three just had the same dilemma but just went for pregnancy tests in the end £2.69 for 20 on amazon!

I'm in the line is a line gang, so will offer tentative congrats Grin How long did it take to appear? Fingers crossed for the morning.

I'm 37 for whoever asked ages - so officially past my unofficial cut off time for getting pg again but ach, who's counting? Wink

I am trying not to symptom spot as still only a measly 5 DPO Blush so from my obsessive googling couldn't have any symptoms anyway as possible fertilised egg hasn't even implanted yet even if this is our month ... BUT have been incredibly thirsty over the past couple of days and according to Google this can be a symptom (but then, according to Google almost ANYTHING can be a symptom Wink).

Need to get some ebay cheapie tests but can't decide whether to get pg tests plus OPKs or just be optimistic and just get pg tests. Might get both and hope that sod's law kicks in and means the OPKs are unneeded ...

TwoCrazyKids · 26/08/2013 20:36

I don't know if it was a bfp. I've no more tests left. Going to get one in the morning. The line is defo there as sil saw it too... I don't want to get my hopes up because I've got evaps before.
