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

Means :o Sleep deprived here too and Ava is 5 months old :( Little monster doesn't like to sleep but she's sooo cute the rest of the time I can't be mad at her :) How's your little angel doing??

I'm almost 11 weeks means, got an appt with consultant at hospital a week on Monday... which typically is when the kids are off school and I don't want to tell them for a while yet.

Still not 'happy' about it. I never even considered ever having 5 children. Four was always my perfect number but I suppose the oldies will be almost 13 and 15 when this one comes along so I'll 'only' have the 3 littlies.
Feeling ill constantly is not helping either!

Good luck to all peeing on sticks.xxxx

Loopy yay! Hope you are feeling well.

Kat, 10 weeks yet? Are you ok with everything? You will be fine hun.xx

omg I am soooooooooo sleep deprived!!!!!!!

That's what I thought you might say!

Perhaps I'll try an early test Monday. If bfn then I'll try again later in the week.

I've been to Wilko to stock up on cheapies so can afford to spare a few!

Aargh. I don't know what's happening!

I'm not using OPKs as have never taken more than a few wks to conceive before so have never really taken any notice of ovulation. This month (first month trying) when I thought I was due to ov I was on doxycycline with a sinus inf. However, the following w/e (last w/e) I had mega amounts of EWCM so am assuming it was then that I ov'd.

Sooo rather than testing this w/e as I had anticipated I'm going to leave it until next w/e.

But... I've been so weepy this last day or two. Like proper weepy. I'm not normally one to cry all that easily and have never really experienced anything like it in previous pgs, if it is indeed a symptom!

Anyone else like this? It seems a little early to me but I don't know what else it could be?

Loopy! Delighted for you!!!!!

Loopy that's great news you must be feeling better.

FoghoenLeghorn come join the fun lol.

I'm getting a little bored sat day dreaming about having a little newborn again. Feels like such a long time ago.

Kat I never feel better till I start to feel movement . Hope you feel better soon.

Button Nice to meet you. So we are fingers crossed for the 2ww.

Congrats!

Jump right in!

Hi all. Loopy Goo luck for tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you.

Also good luck to the 2ww ers

I'm feeling truly hideous. I can't stop retching everytime I smell anything strong. I'm 10 weeks now and am usually feeling better by now :( hopefully it won't be much longer!

I'm seeing the midwife for my booking in on Thursday, it will be interesting to see her reaction!

Still can't belive I'm doing this again... I fricking hate being pregnant.

I have research coming out of my ears from when we decided to go for DD3! Because my girls are id, my chances were no higher than someone who hadn't had twins...

Having said that, I'm 35 and I obviously have had previous children so I guess that ups my chances!

You'd be fine if it was twins I'm sure, I think there are a number of people with two sets of twins on the multiple births page on MN and one with twins and triplets!

I take it you know you have a higher chance of having twins again if your girls are fraternal twins?

The longer this goes on (my worrying) the less I find the idea wholly scary TBH. I did have a little moment this morning.

DDs are so grown up now, they were such a help with DS. DD1 in particular will be delighted when we conceive #4, whether as twins or a singleton!

Your gap sounds very sensible!

I must admit that the thought of getting a BFP this month fills me with mild horror as I would have a newborn and three under 6's for the whole school holidays!

I always thought it must be easier having twins first, no other children to concentrate on and when they sleep you can sleep etc.

But I have several friends who have had twins as their second/third or third/fourth (not fourth/fifth though!). They felt it was exhausting and they felt bad for the older kids, but ultimately they felt better placed for having twins as later children - as they already were highly experienced in soothing babies/changing nappies etc. So as you say, if it was twins I'm sure you would handle it.

My twins are great, they are such good friends and entertain eachother and us brilliantly. I feel sorry for DD3 not being a twin in fact, as she plays by herself a lot of the time when the big girls are at school and it seems so lonely, to not have a constant playmate!..although twins twice? That would be challenging!

Mine are a little more spread out than that. DD1 13, DD2 10, DS 3. DS has just started nursery and here I am thinking about going back to having a little one around full time!

How have you found it with twins? Presumably fine as you're trying for #4! I'm a little panicked at the thought of twins as I'm into the next bracket agewise for increasing the chances and I've had 4 pgs (mc between DDs). I'm sure it won't happen but it still niggles at me!

And if it did it would not be the end of the world - you can only tackle what you're dealt!

Hi Button! Hooray, you can join Pink and I on our 2ww!

How old are your DC? I have twin girls who are 5 and our youngest daughter will turn 2 in a couple of months.

Just discovered this thread - currently ttc #4.

I had my Mirena out Sept 16th and was expecting to ovulate sometime around Oct 2nd. I was on antibiotics that w/e though so whether that delayed it or whether it was simply that I was getting back to normal after the Mirena I'm not sure, but I had lots of EWCM for a few days finishing Sunday (10th). So I'm anticipating that I ovulated yesterday. Lots of SWI over the w/e so now entering my 2ww!

I'm really excited but not a little bit nervous too. I had really bad SPD during my last pg so that's playing on my mind as well as the usual pg worries.

Hoping for a BFP in 12-4 days though!

Loopy - thinking of you today. Everything crossed things are okay.

Pink - yup, we are 2wwing! Well, I am, it's easier to get "in the mood" if DH ignorant of dates. You poor love with your kidney infection, owch! Is there anything you can take/do to relieve the pain?

I think I am now on 2ww. Hope so cause DH is away now for 2 weeks!!

I'm not sure if this will be the month as I was struck by incredibly painful Kidney Infection at the weekend, and I'm sure that was when I ov'd.Fingers crossed we did enough b4 So now on Antibiotics and strong painkillers. Pain worse than Labour and no baby at the end!!!!

loopy Hope your scan has good results for you. Let us all know.

Hatty Are you 2ww with me? Hope so you can stop me getting stupid
