Wow there's loads of us . I think we need a list of some sort so we can keep track of when each of us is testing etc...
Maybe NEMO would like to start one??

Ooh me too, have ds1 10 and dds 8 and 4.

First month af due on the 15th sept.
3 dc from first marriage,
this will be dp's first dc

Yep.... join me up too!! I have DS who is just 4, DS who is just 2 and DD who is 10 months.. and I'm now just about ready (ish) to try for number 4 eeek. That will be 4 dear children aged 5 and under.. I must be insane! I'm still bfeeding my youngest though so as yet, no cycle to try with but I'm dropping feeds now to try and trigger ovulation. (can you tell i've done this before?!)

roquefortlover · 06/09/2008 19:45

Can I join? I have 2ds's aged 9 and 3 and a dd aged 11. Had a CP in march (unplanned pg) and then decided 3 wasn't enough after all!

Had an mc in July so hoping 3rd time lucky for me - on 2nd cycle ttc after the mc. I think I probably am mad esp given that I am 41 but keeping on trying for now!

sweetkitty · 06/09/2008 19:32

Best of luck Nemo go for it

I said DD3 was definitely my last but now I'm not so sure (I am crazy she's not evern 8 weeks)

Diege · 06/09/2008 19:24

Good luck Irish - also my last baby (though I swore no.3 was)

irishmama3 · 06/09/2008 18:58

Hi Diege
Good luck.......feeling excited at the prospect of another baby as I know it will be my last! so hoping that this month will be the month...AF due Fri so fingers crossed

Diege · 06/09/2008 16:57

Hi Irish! Same thinking here: dds 1&2 16 months apart, and wanting to even things up for no.4

irishmama3 · 06/09/2008 16:02

Heading I hope for No four! Have two close together age DD8 and DS 6 and after years of fertility treatment.. and was delighted and finished!...then by complete surprise had DD who is 22 months so am now TTC#4 as don't want baba on her own so CD31 C5 so yes think we're all mad but here goes

Diege · 06/09/2008 14:07

Thanks LULU . Came as a bit of a shock after 3 healthy pregnancies, but feeling much better now and looking to the future . Def fancy the idea of a doula next time though (funds don't run to Independent midwife which would be first choice)so get ready with your list of Warrington ones!
NEMO - I know, sod's law . Want to keep things low-stress though, and am happy if it takes a few months so that I can get myself into tip-top shape.

lulumama · 06/09/2008 13:39

Hi Nemo! [waves from wagon]. Yes I'm ttc number 4 after mmc in July at 10 weeks. It's my first cycle of ttc (cd 21) though not much chance this month as dh away during fertile time . I have 3 dds, age 7, 6 in Nov, and 3 in Nov . Will be interesting to see how many of us there are out there!
