Hi everyone

I am a mum of 3 and we are currently trying for our forth and final baby Smile

We caught on first time with all our other 3. Seems to be taking a while long this time has anyone else experienced this? I am sure it will happen in good time Smile

Anyone else mad enough to want or have 4? Some people think I am crazy Wink

Fell out
Not put.

CherryPie3 · 22/01/2014 09:57

Sooo. This is the club for crazies Grin

Please can I join too?
Not quite ttc yet, practising though. I have no cycle right now Hmm Came off depo in April last year and not a single sign of af yet. Had the copper coil fitted in June last year - it fell put in August Hmm Hmm

Aaaanywhoo.

I have 3 kiddos, dd aged 8(nearly 9), ds1 aged 6, ds2 aged 3.
Dd is desperate for a sister but I honestly couldn't care less if the next one is a boy or girl. As long as there is a next one Wink.

Can I join even though im ttc number 5? Im just starting cycle 2. DD1 was a 'suprise' , DD2 4 cycles, then I had a mc which was 1 cycle, DD3 1 cycle and DD4 was a 'suprise'. Im hoping I get pregnant fast but my age is starting to turn against me. ;) 4 children is briliant though, I love having a big damily.

Beidronka, do you mind me asking how long you TTC for before having all the investigations done?

YY to the ov testing and brilliant you've caught it ;) happy shagging and I hope you're successful this month, will keep my fx for you.

My af is just ending so I'll start testing again in a few days, which reminds me I must actually go buy some more.

Aww good luck to you too Hun. Hope it doesn't take long for you.

I have never had to go through all this either as caught on first try with all 3. My periods are like clock work but seems my ovulation isn't which maybe why we have been struggling. Using ovulation tests this month and glad I started early as today's the day but according to apps and websites it's not due for a few days. So keeping everything crossed that's coz I tested it will make the difference this month Wink

Another with 3 (grown) Ds already and possibly starting again ttc this month. Have tried previously but had a break from it.
I was very young when I had my Ds's and didn't even 'try' Blush so definitely had no concept of the twatting 2ww before ttc now.

I'm 35.5, all tests I previously had done were ok (full bloods, hormones, ultra sound and trans vaginal scans all good) DP is fine too so technically there's nothing stopping me but it just hasn't happened yet.

I've monitored my ov for around 18mths regardless of whether we've dtd or not and I've found I've gone from religiously ov'ing on cd13/14 to now anywhere from cd8 - cd15 so I always check earlier now. On the plus side though my luteal phase is consistantly 14-16 days.

Good luck to you all and fx for fast bfp's xx

I am also ttc number 4. I also got pregnant first month trying with my all three of my boys. I was very lucky. This is my second month of ttc this time round. I had mirena removed in early Dec so wasn't surprised that it didn't happen last month. Fingers crossed for us both this month!!! x

champagnegoldfinch · 21/01/2014 12:39

You're right. I also assumed that things would happen quickly because of the other pregnancies.

But, as you say, it is different every time. The trick is staying sane during the 2ww 9DPO and failing miserably Smile

Aww I am so sorry to hear about your MC huni!! I hope you get your bfp soon.

We have been trying 6 months. Think I just assumed it would be right away again which I guess every time is different. Smile

Hi Catwoman

We are currently TTC #3. I had a MMC in April last year and also fell pregnant quickly with my three pregnancies:

cycle 1 DC1
cycle 3 DC2
cycle 1 MMC

Not so lucky this time, as this will be our 7th unsuccessful cycle since the MMC Sad Think I might be going a bit mad.

I am nearly 37, so I guess age is becoming a bit of an issue.

Best of luck with #4. I wish DH would agree to 4! Although I'm not sure our house is big enough! I hope you get pregnant quickly - how long have you been trying?
