TTC3, 2ww anyone want to join me??

Good luck sweep :) you deserve it!

Sweep that is some timing on your behalf!! I love a pattern! It seems to take me a bit longer to conceive normally so I've never been able to plan it too much. That's why I was totally shocked to fall so bloody quickly with this one, tho I'm not complaining at all! ;) I really hope it's your month chick, I'll be crossing everything for you!

How's everyone else getting on?

I'm hoping for more BFP's this month! Xx

Well, the pregnancy we lost earlier this year would have been a December birthday, fitting the pattern!

Oh, I love a pattern Sweep! My mum, sisters and I are in alphabetical order - both first and middle names, but we have not got any patterns going on the birthdays. Jan, Feb, Mar would be pretty neat - and no excuses for anyone to forget birthday months!

Btw - mmm and warriorbot - any good news on the job front? I am just starting to gear myself up to look - had been putting it off until after our move after taking voluntary redundancy almost a year ago now. No good reason not to get back to work now.

Hi guys, just checking in. 1 week to go for me until I find out this cycle.DS 1 is a January boy, DS 2 is Feb and if this month is lucky then this would be Mar h. Seems like fate to me!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys :)!
Fingers crossed for you wilting its not AF !
Oif yes I was on the April 2012 antinatal. Dd is 2 like yours and I would love one more with a smaller gap this time.
Doesn't seem to be happening so far so getting depressed since I at least used to be able to conceive easily but then miscarry where as now am less fertile clearly. Have had two suspected chemicals so far . Bfn this morning . I felt like this month is a write off so preparing myself to move on. The cramps i've been having since 5 dpo are something I never have in a normal cycle though just when we''ve tried a few times so that's weird and have had other symptoms too but I think it's not going to take as usual :(

Hi all, lovely to hear of scans and bfps.

We moved last weekend, total chaos, and I have just been exhausted and emotionally a bit all over the place, which wrote off any chance of dtd, and now DP is off for work for 10 days, so we have just completely missed this month - which was our last chance to get an under 3 year gap, which I was really hoping for. Anyway, have to just distract myself until next month and resolve to give it a proper try then.

Nordic - I think I was on an antenatal April 2012 thread with you (I would have been under a different username) - fx for this time!

Welcome nordic! Fx for you :)

I keep having v small bleeds on and off biscuits so I haven't bothered testing. Probably some kind of af I reckon. If the bleeding had stopped completely I'd have tested by now!

Hhh, hi Nordic and welcome. I really hope that it is a line and is your BFP. What a journey you've had! I hope this time is easier for you and you can do it naturally.

Wilting have you tested yet? Or do you think it was AF? I'm obviously hoping it wasn't for you!!

Xx

Hi! Can I join ?We've been trying for no3 now for a while. On cycle 7 ATM and driving myself crazy symptom spotting. It's 8dpo for me now and in lack of frers until dh gets home have used cb digital opk for the last few days ( I wanted to see what happens since feel so preg ) and they've gotten darker and have had a flashing smiley on 7po and 8dpo and just a circle on 6 dpo . Cramps etc started 5 dpo like before when I've conceived.
So going a bit crazy here . We have a ds9 that we conceived easily on cycle 3 I think but then lots of miscarriages , doctors , me getting sick and finally ivf twice and dd2 born through a gestational carrier in the US. Well I really want one more so here we are again and am actually trying naturally myself for a few more months before trying ivf and then possibly again surrogacy but not sure about that.
Sighing I can see a faint line :)!

Thank god DG! Home stretch now then lots of sleepness nights, poooy nappies, throwing up I know you can't wait. Fx it will all remain dull as ditchwater til then :)

It was a tiny amount of blood in end beginner and biscuits, but it was red noit brown, another small smear last night. Have constant low back pain though so prettu sure not pg and body must just still be a bit all over the place. Girl on another thread said she had same and full af came 2w later.

DGLB fantastic news Hun! now onto the best bit, preparing for babies arrival! I just love the nesting bit!

Sighing I can soooo see a line, congratulations! I bet that will get darker over the next few days. Fantastic news, more BFP's!

Wilting Oohhh, really hope it wasn't! like beginner said tho, I don't want to get your hopes up. Have you tested just to make sure?

Glad we're all the same on the 'scared about not seeing anything at the scan thing!' I'm petrified already!

Xx

Hi everyone

We had our 20 week scan this afternoon baby is growing nicely and nothing serious found, we wasn't sure whether we was going to find out the sex or not but baby decided for us by having the umbilical cord running straight through his/her legs covering everyone up lol so clearly we wasn't ment to no it's going to be a long 20 weeks now.....

Hope everyone's doing okay, sharing lots of baby dust

Oooh Sighing! I reckon that's a line

DH is convinced of line. Phew. Just hoping this one stays around. But so much for my resolution not to test for aaaages!

Sighing - just looked at the proper website not just the app. I reckon there's a definite line....

Argh - can't see on my phone!! Try again tomorrow!

Wilting - how heavy was your af? I thought mine had started as there was a fair bit (but not loads) of brown blood and it was implantation bleeding. But it is unusual to get that. And your body might not be quite back to normal yet so things could stop and start a bit until the hormones regulate themselves. But... it might not be af.... (Don't want to get your hopes up though )

Oh!!! Even on my stupid tiny phone I think can see a very faint line!!!! Excitement sighing!

How many weeks are you now mabel? Time to accept it methinks!

Btw, my "af" has petered away already? Is that normal whatever that is?

What do you think?
And yes. I am an idiot to test today 9/10 dpo

Gah - sorry wilting - but at least you know where you are now in your cycle and know that everything's in 'working order' as it were

The good side of getting an AF is that you can have a nice big glass or three of wine and let yourself slack off all the good habits for a week or two.

beginner I've also found it hard to believe I'll see a baby every time I've gone for a scan. And despite my now pretty big bump I still can't really let myself think there'll be a baby at the end of it. Might feel more real once the kicks/movement starts. Good luck anyway!

Like the gow recommendations! Might do that tonight

Sounds like you're going great beginner, in all the circs. V hard not to stress, just a question of getting to each stage and then past it onto the next worry! Fx for you on testing too. Take deep breaths and have a treat of choice ;)

Yes wilting, I'm sorry too. But agree with the glass of wine prescription from biscuits!

I'm 10 weeks today, I think. Based on LMP date but am pretty sure I must have ovulated late so probably not quite 10 weeks. Anyway, I have a scan in 2 weeks time. Still feeling nauseous and very tired but have actually put on weight this time round as I can't stop eating.... I lost weight in the first trimester with DC1 and 2 - because I was so sick.

Still not entirely convinced they'll be a baby there at the scan. I bled a bit about 3 times but nothing very dramatic so fingers crossed. Really want to tell the children though because I'm so tired all the time and not much fun. I hope they'll be excited but I expect they won't really react much. DC1 might get a bit upset as he's really clingy at the moment. Don't think he's going to like me paying so much attention to a baby rather than him. Going to have to manage things very carefully.... Anyway, I'm getting ahead of things. See how the first scan and triple test/Harmony go first. I'm much more paranoid now I'm 'nearly 40'. (Or 'just 39' depending on how you look at it...!)

Wilting so sorry she got you. I'm not that lucky to ever fall first month either so you're not alone. Glass of wine tonight, then the positivity can come back soon for the next cycle. Big hugs.

Hi Scattaboy and welcome! That made me laugh! The 'go go go period' so funny! Yes, I'm not sure whether the pill masked all the symptoms that I felt in the run up to AF as I've never had them on the pill. But the first month I had sore boobs, not reeeeeally sore so I knew I was pregnant but I've not had sore boobs at all when my periods due whilst on AF so my hopes were up a little bit. I know, people are strange aren't they?! It's not the different sex that I want, it's just another child. I suppose it does make me not care less what sex it is. Maybe if I'd have had two boys now, I might have really wanted a girl, I don't know tho.

Beginner how many weeks are you now? You've got to be near the scan now? I know what you mean about the nausea, mines started much earlier than last time. I hope it doesn't get worse as it's cope able at the minute.

Fingers crossed for everyone else this month. Xx

Just found this thread - can I join? TTC number 3 and like you passthebiscuits have one of each and get the 'why would you want another' comments.

Anyone found that you get more 'pregnancy like symptoms' just as pre-af symptoms since having second baby? I swear I used to just get cramps, now I also get nausea, tiredness, mood swings and sore boobs and these were all things that I only had in pregnancy before, now I seem to get them every month, so the last two cycles I have been convinced I was pregnant even though I wasn't, so annoying!
I think I am on day 16 today, but I think from ttc for no.2 I normally ovulated late so I might be in the 'go go go' period for a couple more days. Either that or I am already in the 2ww. May as well consider it the 'gogogo' time as it is more fun at least!

Gah, af has arrived a day early! I suppose it is great that everything has apparently settled so quickly but a teeny part of me was hoping I'd be one of those who never got an af :(

Ah well, good luck to anyone else close to testing!
