Hi all!

Anyone waiting / predicted ovulation soon and fancy going through the motions together?

In cycle 10 of TTC baby number 4.. first three were 'easy' this time two miscarriages deep.

Feeling a bit lonely!

Aw thank you for the reassurance @GoNoSixx , I bet your older kids dote on your wee one too!

Yeah they love her to bits ❤️ my older two are actually amazing with her, they was so shocked and if I'm honest a bit fuming when I told them I was pregnant 😂😂😂 but the second the lay eyes on her, all that went out the window ❤️

That's so true. That's brilliant you've got your peak and dtd timing!

I've been doing four tests a day for the past couple of days so I don't miss it. Hoping tomorrow I can catch it as we're out doing birthday activities so chance to poas will be limited 😂

Thank you, can't believe he's 7!

Happy birthday to your little boy 💙 i hope he has a wonderful birthday

I have a 8 year age gap between my 4th and 5th and I can honestly say although I've now got four other children and a 11 mo, she's been the easiest. I've done the small age gaps a baby and a toddler and it can be alot 😂😂😂😂 definitely been one of the easiest transitions ❤️

@lynzmb i think its crazy how quickly it can change. My stick was negative 0.1 this morning and then 0.9 tonight ! So glad I did DTD last night aswell . Really early for me too as at least pre baby I was always CD14 clockwork!

happy birthday to your DS!!

Can I just say how amazing and fascinating it is to see such big families on here, you’re all superwomen and I don’t know how you do it! I’m 36 and my only DD is 19 months and even thinking about adding one more to the mix keeps me questioning my sanity 😂

Hahaha I love that!

It's so lovely, I find it hard to talk about TTC a fourth and struggling as I know how awful some people have it simply with one baby. So it's so lovely to have this safe space!! 😍

Hello, hope it's ok to join. Impatiently waiting on my peak over here! On cycle 6 of ttc#2 at 40. DS is 7 tomorrow! So will be quite a big gap and I'm starting to panic that we've left it too late. If this isn't the month I'm on the books of the gynae clinic so will be pursuing tests.

CD14 and LH levels haven't risen above 0.1 yet. Was planning on dtd tonight but wondering if we should hold off. Plus got birthday presents to wrap and I CBA 😂

Any thoughts on my chart below - wondering if tomorrow might be better? Fertile window was originally showing from 8th but has shifted.

So tiny lol! Now 7, 5 and 2 and full of blooming attitude 🤣

Oh wow no messing about then. I've heard right horror stories on women trying to be sterilised!

You've done well to squeeze all them babies in before 35 some people only have a 1st then!

Had my 1st at 21 and honestly this has been the easiest I've found even though I have five now the other ones are older and love helping out, I would maybe wait a bit but oh is 41 this year and already said he's going to look like a grandad when hes collecing my 11mo in school near the end of her primary school years 😂😂😂 i can't with him loool I've still got another 12 years min of school runs 😱🤣

@GoNoSixx Haha love it, will they let you be sterilised? I've heard it can be a nightmare for women to try and have done!!

Bless you given birth in just about every way then😂I couldn't imagine being in labour for that long, must have been bloody tough😥

I have the opposite issue, my girls were all preemies and do not like to stay in. I've had one emergency section, one forceps and one 'shot herself out in a flash' so far. They have stayed in longer each time (last one stitched in mind) so maybe one day I'll have a full term chunk.

Your smallest is my biggest size haha! 😂These were 3.4, 4.13 and 6.2!

Wow thats crazy, I love it. Beautiful 😍

Edited

Wow they was tiny 🥺❤️❤️❤️

My consultant asked me after my 1st scan if I wanted to be sterilised 😂

Granted I'm 35 in April and it was my 5th child i said no i want to try natural if it ends in a section so be it but I don't think I'll put myself or my partner through labour again knowing it will 99% end in a section.

That's good tho isn't it each pregnancy you've managed to keep babs in longer ❤️🙏❤️

@GoNoSixx

Aww I love that, my families tiny and my partners is huge and you can sooo tell the difference. We'd love a big family!

I worry I will be the same to be honest, I've never even remotely had that done feeling, even though I'm high risk every time haha!

Haha sounds like you have it pretty sussed though to be fair! One more deffo won't hurt 😉

This will be my 3rd section, so I'm genuinely thinking of getting sterilised because I'll end up with 10 otherwise 🤣

My first 3 was normal but my 4th was emergency section and my last was decided section due to failure to progress all five have been induced due to being small but non of them was ever what I would class as small! My smallest was 6.2 biggest 7.4.

Next time I'll just have a planned section I think because I was absolutely gutted I laboured for 18 hours after my waters broke with pitocin and still didn't dilate past 2cm 🥺 and had to go for a section anyways x

I only have one brother, my partner has 2 brothers and a sister. With my step son we have 6 so next one will be technically no7 🤣
