Trying for number 3

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 normally do the same. Just been getting the 3 packs this month from b and m for 79p lol. I thought I had some left hut went to test today and realised id ran out. So sending the husband later. I did the same with the digi with my first two. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. The cramping is confusing me. I suppose I will know in the next few days if af shows her face xx

I bought a bunch of cheap strip ones off amazon for a few quid and just keep them in the cupboard. If I get a positive on one of those I'll buy a better one just to make sure or waybe wait a week and buy a digi. Good luck :)

I'm the same. Wanted 3 and all quite close. There is 15 month between my first two but my youngest is currently being assessed for autism which kind of pushed things back.
Iv had such bad cramps for about 3 days which is strange for me as its normally for about an hour before af arrives. Making dh get some more tests today when he finishes work as I'm terrible and can't wait 😂
Fingers crossed for everyone and lots of baby dust xx

I'm due af on the 13th. I'm really impatient too. 22 month gap between 1 and 2 and getting pregnant now would mean a nearly 4 and nearly 6 year gap and I really don't want it much more than that x

Me! Also no trying really with the first two. Am v impatient and worried have missed the boat this month. Age and the fact we don’t want a big gap means extra pressure for BFP! AF due in six days...

I'm a week post ovulation and have some sore nipples, random nausea and I feel like I'm going to come on my period any minute but I'm not due for a week so im hoping it's a sign of something happening.

My 2 were conceived both within a month of coming off contraception, I've not been on any contraceptive for about 6 months but have been using condoms so no hormones to get rid of from my body. I keep thinking ooh I'm really tired I might be pregnant, ooh I feel a bit sick I might be pregnant, ooh my boobs feel a bit funny I might be pregnant 😆 if it takes a while I might drive myself mad 🙈 x

Hi, I'm currently TTC number 2, have a 2 and half year old. Didn't really have to try for her, conceived within in the first month of stopping the pill. Came off the pill 5 weeks ago and had a negative test this morning and from inpatient! Had what I thought was an implantation bleed this week so a tad disappointed!
