Trying for baby number 3

@FourOclock I found out with DS and DD. We have all the stuff needed for either sex so I think we will keep it as a surprise this time, I mean that's the plan 😂 who knows when I get to the 20 week scan!

We have two boys and I really wanted boys both times when planning to get pregnant previously. It feels weird this time genuinely not having a preference, a boy would be easier logistically and I do love having boys, I'd love four boys! But would also be nice to have a girl for a bit of variety

We didn't find out and if we get pregnant we will wait also. I love the guessing.
I think we are in the minority though.

I Have two boys, didn’t find out with first but did with second. I would definitely find out a third time. Super keen for a girl but obvs healthy baby more important.

I found with my last two I just felt so crap that I really needed that lift of finding out at the 20 week scan to give me a bit more excitement to get organised! Almost just don't want to find out so I don't have to listen to any more smugness about how much better it is to have a surprise

I'm always finding out, I like having a name chosen! We have one of each now.

AF is due at the weekend and pretty sure it’s not our month. I normally feel sick by now.

Did everyone find out with their previous two? I did with my last two but I also had a preference with the last two and this time I don't, so wondering whether to go for a surprise this time.... I am so impatient though I don't know if I'd actually last the whole pregnancy and the guessing would probably drive me mad

Thank you! Yes I'll be having a gender scan at 16 weeks! Can't wait! I hope we get our boy & girl! ❤️

Hey @Becca92xo congrats!! I am the opposite... two boys and hoping for a girl!! Will you find out? X

Hi there!

Me & my OH have 2 girls age 10 & 6 (meant to say 6 before but accidentally wrote 8! Baby brain 😂)Tried for our 3rd baby for around 8 months - I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant 🙂 really praying for a baby boy this time! ❤️

I really want this month to work, I'd love a November baby! This is so silly but last year I tried a 'when will you get pregnant' filter on Instagram for fun and it said May this year. I got pregnant in May both times with the last two and now convinced it will be happen again 😂 ridiculous really. Would like it to happen in February this time!!

Hi everyone,

I am currently TTC my 3rd also.
My period is due Friday, i did a test Sunday & Monday around 10dpo which was BFN.
I am having AF cramps so i believe i am probably out! although no sore breasts which i normally get before my AF!
I would love to get a BFP in the next few months as would love a winter/end of year baby.
I have 2 May babies

I think will try feb and March and then skip
April/may as have SO many January babies in family. Tested positive for covid yesterday though so worried that might have screwed up this month x

I think Feb will be our last month trying and then we'll take a break. ds2 is a December birthday and I think two birthdays plus Christmas will just get so expensive, so will try to avoid it if we can

Think we will try next month as it would be a mid November birthday for us.
I have sections, so I can nearly pinpoint the day it will be.
The only thing is it would be my daughter's birthday 5 days later.
Might skip December as it would be near Christmas day. But DH tells me that's silly not to try. I'll see though.

Hopefully this day next week my period won't arrive 🤞

@MummyMe87 Thank you, really hoping these next few days fly by 🤞 I'm on edge waiting for my peak 😬

If it doesn’t happen this month for us, I’m not sure about TTC for the following two cycles. If it worked would end up with a due date mid December or mid January. Well I’m not fond of a December birthday and my youngest is jan 14th and I’m jan 15th….. equally I don’t want to dick around. So difficult

I don't think we have a time limit, but I think I'd probably stop trying for a few months to avoid giving birth at my husband's busiest time at work. We didn't do that with our first as it took about a year to conceive and not knowing if we ever would have a baby we didn't want to risk ruling some months out. We've got a while until that though, would want to avoid getting pregnant November/December time I think

On time limits, dh ideally would give it 6 months I think but to be honest I'm not sure we'd stop trying at any point. It took 9 months first time and 1 month second, so we should hopefully get pregnant this year. I guess we'll just see how it goes and reassess in a few months if still no pregnancy

@FourOclock Good luck to you! ⭐

Hey, can I join the chat? we have decided to officially start trying this month for our third. Period just finished!
