TTC #4 - Join the madness... If you dare!!

OMG help!!! I'll never cope with 4 children....my three are monsters, real monsters...how could I have not realised until now!!! Arrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh runs around flapping

Sometimes they are so good but today the fighting..........

breathe!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be fine right??? LOL.

loopymumsy - go back 16th August always been end of June to middle Aug up here.

Today is not a good day to ask me if 4 was a good idea, bad day, DS not well, DD1 and 2 fought non stop argh!!!!

Hi! Very new to this.. I am ttc number 2! Exciting times however periods have gone on holiday since April so not feeling positive. In need of a pick me up.. can anyone help?!

Loopymumsy - I'm in Scotland our holidays started WAY back at the end of June, this is the 5th week!

Hi Everyone,

I am TTC number 4!

Just started, well last night

Hi SK

Loopymumsy - luckily DP is home every night and is very hands on as well I don't know how I could do it without him, he has just been off work for 2 weeks going back tomorrow so I am dreading it a bit, DD1 was gutted when the scan revealed a DS she wanted another sister although she adores him now

babyblue - cannot believe Marco is 1 already, I remember him being born just as we were starting to ttc no4. The girls love their new brother, I thought DD3 would be jealous but she loves him always kissing him, she doesn't like anyone else kissing him though. He's no different to the girls just a baby although he is very different looking to them, brown hair and eyes they are all blonde and blue eyed and he is huge.

charlottesclan - bad news about missing fertile window, I would have had some very quiet quickies still always next month, conceiving in August means May baby which is lovely

So sorry to hear AF arrived Charlotte . Hugs to you.

Loopy seriously impressed at you managing 3 with DH away for spells with Navy! I panic when DH goes away for the weekend with my three!

sorry i disappeared.. af came on yesterday

not surprising we missed the fertile week as had mil staying with us. was hoping everyday since then would work, but oh well.

dh says hes disappointed but pleased at the same time as means another month of love making where ever and whenever he likes men eh?

Hello all This thread has taken off Welcome to all the newbies

6 more days til Marco has his first birthday! I cant believe it! The year has just flown. I think the more kids you have, the faster the time goes. LOL

Sweet Kitty - Glad to hear all is well with you. The girls must be loving their new little brother! How is he sleeping?

M/C are hard. Would not want to wish one on anyone... even in its early stages (mine was at 6.5 weeks). Hope all you TTC-ers have very sticky little beans!

hi Loopymumsy - you sound a bit like me with 3 girls, I was SOO sure no 4 was another girl we had all her names chosen. We were very shocked when the scan revealed a boy. He's 11 weeks now and utterly adorable. I had a mc between nos 2 and 3 so understand a bit what your going through.

4 is hard hard work though, my others are just turned 6, 4 1/2 and just turned 2. We have no family help so just DP and I so it is very full on.

No more babies for us though, couldn't cope with another horrendous SPD pregnancy, am almost 35 and been pregnant or BFing for over 6 years give or take a few months, body is crying out for a break. DP has said he will consider the snip but not just now.

Well done you, it sounds like you have a lot of strength and positivity..fingers crossed for this month!

I think because my twins are id, my chances of having twins again are not raised..but I'm now older and I've had previous children. Eeek!

Hey, you might have twin boys!

Loopy...Difficult thing is that I've been on the mini pill for ages so my cycle has been very erratic...

I ordered some tests with my Tesco order so they've been delivered today. Am determined not to test before next week. ...

Nausea could be PMT type symptom? So with you on the false hope every time I yawn! And then I get a hot flush of panic that (much as I love my twins and wouldn't change them) it will be twins again and twins twice would just be too much for me!

Scanning lower down thread, so sorry to hear your MC was so recent. That must have been really tough for you . Fingers crossed for things working out for you again..at least you are getting near the end of the 2WW.

Bad luck on the BFN Charlotte...fingers xd you were testing far too soon and there's still good news around the corner..

I am on (I think) day 25..lots of nausea yesterday, watched one minute of masterchef and the sight of them chopping up raw chicken made me feel so sick. That normally wouldn't bother me at all.

(DH thinks I just have the tummy bug he had last week - I think his manly pride won't let him accept that he can have a bug and my immune system can shrug it off!)

Tick, tock, tick, tock..trying so hard to concentrate on work!

i tested today. nothing

my fault really far to early

to my knowledge the HIP grant is still going on, its the SS maternity one (low income families) that they are axing
