TTC no 3? Anyone just started / about to start / about to start thinking about it?

PS sorry if I missed anyone as I was scrolling up and down..

Oooh... I think I found everyone.. I was all alone on the other thread.. perhaps I'll signpost the old one over here..

Can I hop on board too? waves around to everyone

We've been trying half heartedly since August (only getting into gear once a month).

I'm in the 2WW just and we've managed at days 8, 10 and 12, my cycle is only 26 days so we'll see where we get this month.

I'm 37 and DH is 39. Our two DSs are almost 6 and almost 3.

I had a MMC between my two which they think happened at 10+2 so understand the heartache, but haven't been through that the number of times Nordic has.

I keep thinking 'just one ( or 2!!) more / not finished yet', No.3 would be lovely, unsure if my body could cope with 4 thought, but lets get on with 3 first.

DH is working late tonight, so to show my OCD tendencies (joking), I have updated the list:

TTC:

2lilGirls, 30yo, (2xDD), Cycle 5
Bonzo77, 36yo, (2xDS), Cycle 6
BunnyBaby, 37yo, (2xDS), Cycle 4
Cakecrumbs, 38yo, (2xDS 7&3), Cycle 4
Cherieblossom, 35yo, (2xDC 5&3), Cycle 1
ELR 36yo, (DD11, DS8), Cycle 4
FlipFlippingFlippers, 28yo (2xDD 4&5), Cycle 2
Leons, 42yo, (DS6, DD3), Cycle 1
MrsW2809, 27yo, (DS & DD), Cycle no: 0! - coil due out in 9 days!
Nordicmom, 38yo, (DS8, DD1), Cycle 1

Graduates:

For others who want to add, just copy the whole list and add yourself in (I've done it in alphabetic order).

Us on the thread can repost the list with Graduation news (squee!) or an additional cycle.

Once in a while we can dust through with a broom and tidy it up..

Here to lots of Grads!

Can I join? I'm 28 with 2 dd's (4 & 5) and ttc #3. Had a mc last year and AF has been a bit all over the place so I'm trying not to worry ive got a horrible feeling something is wrong eek Only been ttc for 2 cycles but it's taking longer than with my previous 2.

Thanks you both . I developed my illness from steroids that I was given as a last resort after 7 misscarriages and then had three more on them . Once I stopped the steroids my body couldn't recover normal function. So my ilness didn't cause the miscarriages since it happened after we stopped trying and moved on to surrogacy . I did two IVF cycles with our own eggs and sperm and the surrogate actually conceived both times but the first one was an early miscarriage possible ectopic , second round with two embryos resulted in dd:)! Things change though and miracles do happen so I need to try this again first . We conceived every time we tried those 10 times so super fertile just couldn't sustain it for some reason .

Hi we are ttc#3.
35. DD age 7 DS age 3 (previous marriage)
Trying for 4 months and going insane already! Should of come on yesterday and have not yet, don't dare take a test as im happy thinking I could be pregnant. Would be very sad if its negative.

Can u add me to the stats please?!
Nordicmom 38y, TTC 3, 1 DS 8y,1 DD 19m, cycle 1

Hi ! Can i join? Have just started ttc no3 . Am 38 , DS is nearly 9y and DD (via gestational surrogacy after 10 miscarriages and an illness its a long story)is 19m. Feel like after the 5y break from trying after the miscarriages my illness etc and having DD via surrogate , I need to see if things are still the same ( conceived easily but unexplained miscarriages, DD genetically ours so go figure , DS normal pregnancy ) before moving on to IVF on myself which i haven't actually tried and then thinking about surrogacy again. Have just convinced DH that this would be a good idea at all. Don't know why i do this to myself but felt always that I wasn't necessarily done even after just having DD unlike DH .We'll we've just started so here we go lovely 2ww. I must be crazy, DD would be only 2 and a bit if it worked now and I'm struggling with these two but as I said to DH this could take years like with DD so we better get started before all my eggs are gone. Wondering what's going on in there anyway . its been years since i had tests and scans and levels were lower than average then already but we did have DD on the second ivf from just a few eggs.used an ov kit and always regular cycles so wheels seem to be still turning which is a good sign . sorry am rambling but can't sleep am in shock of these recent developments can't believe DH changed his mind ...

done it, neg again, my pill has seriously messed my body up lol x

I'd poas again sj!

I got married in between dcs 1 and 2 coffee and would have started ttc much earlier but I too wanted to wear the lovey dress etc. it was fine and actually the age gap was better as it was I think. A friend was pg with no 2 at my hen do and I was SO jealous!!

I'm feeling stressed because we've decided that the max age ago we want between 2 and 3 is 3 years so now I'm worried it won't happen. I also think I will always have a bit of a regret if we don't have a third child. Silly really given that I also worry that three might be a stretch in every way!

No 3 is a much harder decision than 1 or 2!

I poas last friday(15th) and it was neg. I am feeling so sick today. Argh!

Just a quick question.. Thinking about TTC DC3.. But we are getting married next year... WWYD?? I didn't think I wanted a 3rd (DP does) but now I'm thinking otherwise, and don't want to wait until TTC until the summer. But do I want to be a pregnant bride.. No. But I'm so broody!! Ahh.

orangefizz im like u, trying not to obsess, its hard not to when so broody though. Im not relaxed about it at all, I worry it wont happen because of my age and if doesnt I know in years to come I will have a sense of regret. I know im very blessed with my 2 dc, but just have this thought that number 3 wld make us more complete, sorry might be a bit silly. I suppose being pregnant twice this year we were gearing up to be a family of 5 twice and if I hadn't gotten pregnant at all maybe I wldnt feel so broody.
Sorry to rant and rant but where else can u rant.

Have you tested sj?

I am trying very hard not to get a bit obsessed ttc at the moment. Feeling very broody. I thought I would be more relaxed with number 3!

Hi guys, It's been exactly 5 weeks since I took my last pill. Still no AF, it's bugging me now I want AF to turn up so that I know things are back to normal cycle wise.

My mum knows. That's it! I also pretend sticking to two!

Have you all told people that you are ttc? We haven't told a soul, apart from I've told to one old friend who I only see every 6 months or so that we've stopped using contraception. To everyone else I pretend we're sticking at two!

Watching with interest if you dont mind, have DS1 (3 in January) and DS2 (5 months) but just can't shake the feeling of not quite being done yet...

We had a 'scare' this month (unprotected sex once followed by af being 8 days late) and whilst it really really wouldn't be optimal timing (in a flat that is quickly getting too small, in the process of buying a house but massively complicated and may well fall through at any point) and with usual fears of no time/no money...still had moments of being excited inbetween the crippling fear!

So just looking for some positive stories or horror ones to convine me I'm done and 3 would be a terrible idea! to bear in mind for the future

Congratulations too dines

bonzo, yes at least mine is also a 28/29 day cycle this month too.

ELR, I get one of those cysts every so often too - particularly annoying when you are ttc! They can not return for years sometimes though.

cakes I know what you mean, why rock the boat? But then I think aaah wouldn't it be nice to have one more!!
Found the an ic test and another bfn!
