Trying for number 3

59 replies

beccamums29 · 04/08/2019 17:19

Hi. I'm new to mumsnet, I have a 5 year old boy and 3 year old girl. Currently trying for number 3, only on the first month and on the 2 week wait. I didnt really have to try with the other 2 and this is not good for an impatient person 😆 anyone else trying for number 3?

I use cheap strips I bought online. I got up at 4.30 to do a 10k and got a faint positive, got a darker one when I got back (hadn't drunk anything), I'm not due af until Thursday so now I'm worrying its twins 😂

For those with symptoms, in previous pregnancies once I start taking prenatal vitamins and trying to get pregnant my body plays tricks, I'd get nauseous, my period was late, its very cruel 😢

So first response tests are supposed to be able to detect from 6 days pre AF, I'm 2 days pre AF today and I did one with my first pee this morning and its 100% BFN so I'm taking that to mean I'm out this month. I'll be surprised if AF doesn't show. I'm trying not to be disappointed as it's only the first month but why do I feel so tired and have the nausea and sore nipples...I think it's my body tricking me.

Well I thought I had symptoms last month but af turned up and no symptoms this month and I am pretty sure she has arrived on the predicted day again! Light pink on wiping anyway (sorry tmi) anyway ladies what would you do? DH and I will still be on hols right over the end of period (which we missed last month) but then I go to friends for two nights with the kids, would you can it in favour of baby making? OPK’s don’t seem to work for me so reckon I O right at the end of my period but to be safe I want to then DTd every other night for the month. Also meant to be going camping 😱

Me too! It was easy to conceive with my first two, it is taking longer for #3, trying to think positive...!

Noticed I'd said pretty much the exact same thing on Wednesday 😆

What symptoms do you have ladies if any? I'm trying not to read to much into mine, nausea but it doesn't feel like pregnant nausea if you know what I mean, I find pregnant nausea kind of feels different to eaten something dodgy nausea. My nipples are a bit sore and I feel really tired about an hour after I've got up. All good signs but I just don't 'feel pregnant' I'm driving myself bonkers 😆

I'm trying for my no. 3 baby with fiancé. If we're successful (big "if" as I'm 38 with history of miscarriages) then this will be his first (and last!!)

My sibling age gaps will be...err...slightly bigger than for most of you - my boys are 9 and 12! Shock

Crazymummyto3 · 11/08/2019 00:37

Not number 3, but we're just about to start trying for number 4. We fell pregnant pretty much straight away with our first three. They are currently 9, 6 and 21 months.

Chaosonthehorizon · 10/08/2019 18:25

That is a good point. I suppose because the (hopeful) third will be the last I worry about gaps

DaisyRose2 · 10/08/2019 18:09

I dont really think there's any right age gap... I think whatever your family is will just work out because that's how it is! :)

Chaosonthehorizon · 10/08/2019 16:16

Same age gap worries here, 24 mths between 1 and 2 and will be at least 3.5 years between 2 and 3. Can’t have four either! Are we doing the right thing?! Af due tmw...

Amylou91 · 10/08/2019 16:13

How is everyone getting on. Still not af here I have no idea what's happening. Will test later xx

DaisyRose2 · 09/08/2019 21:09

Hi all! I've had the implant removed a couple of months ago and just started my first period so hopefully get back to normal cycles soon... currently have a 4 year old and 2 year old (17 month age gap) DH is keen for a third and I think I'm at the stage to start trying now.. eek! Sending babydust to all x

@pinkpeonies I'm the same with the age gap. 22 months between 1 and 2 and will be at least 3 and 5 years between them and the 3rd, I'm worried about baby being pushed away x

Amylou91 · 09/08/2019 10:44

So still no af, I'm officially late now. Gunna test again later when hubby is home, had the faintest ever line yesterday but he reckons I'm seeing things haha.
Hi @pinkpeoniesplease I know what you mean about the bigger age gap. I'm already worrying about that as my first two were so close together.
@beccamums29 Iv been testing since about 8dpo lol. I'm terrible hubby isn't happy I keep sending him for more tests. It's so hard waiting

pinkpeoniesplease · 09/08/2019 00:05

👋 Hey!
I am trying for 3rd baby too! My eldest is 5 and youngest is 3 in September. 2 1/2 years between them and they get on so well I'm already worried this one will be left out due to a bigger age gap!

I'm due AF on 15th but am also resisting the urge to test 😂 despite convincing myself I have lots of symptoms 🤦🏻!

So. I gave my tests to my hubby. 6 days until I'm due on and I demanded he doesn't give me them back until AF is late so if no AF a week today I'll test again but I'm driving myself mad at the moment. Bought some first response which can show from 6 days before AF is due I.e today but it's a clear negative. I feel so silly

OP posts:
Amylou91 · 08/08/2019 05:00

Still no af. But still bfn so I'm confused. I'm never late. I'm exhausted all of the time, can't eat properly as I feel sick, funny taste in my mouth and crying at the littlest things haha. Really don't know what's going on xx

Amy Lou any sign of AF? I'm feeling so impatient, 7 days until test day and I keep feeling like I could fall asleep mid day, random bits of nausea and my boobs are ok until I take my bra off then they feel massive and sore. But I don't "feel pregnant" x

Impatiently took a test this morning. 100% negative, can't help feeling a little disappointed even though I'm still not due on for a week. X

Amylou91 · 05/08/2019 15:18

Yep I know what you mean. I fell pregnant with my first the day I moved in with my now husband and my second on out wedding night. Both not really trying but not preventing. This time it's our 6th month actually trying. I have convinced myself there was a v v faint line on yesterday's test but now all the cramping I think af is on the way. But I don't normally cramp this long. Ah! I hate waiting haha xxx
