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

Good luck hatty.

Ok so yesterday I had EWCM I think? I have been using an opk, as this was my first true month off the pill to see if I was actual going to ov this month!! Had nothing no lines apart from control line for last 5 days. Then this afternoon a dark line but not as dark as the control line ?? What do we think?? never used opk before and not sure about them.

OMG good i am getting very obsessed

Thanks Loopy, message recieved, over and out...

Loopy - fingers xd for the 13th. Hope you got the maternity jeans but sorry you're so uncomfy, is it because of the haemotoma? (sp?)

Pink - winter babies are lovely especially around Christmas time. DD3 was Boxing Day and she had the cutest winter hat for going home from the hospital!

Now girls, bear with me as I can't remember the ttc basics!

If we bd on Monday and Tuesday and then on Wednesday I got loads of EWCM -does that mean Monday and Tuesday "count"? I rarely get such stretchy ECWM so I'm seeing that as a good sign..

Or that we should have done it again last night?

Which with 3 young kids up in the night and having found the energy to do it Mon/Tues would have been pretty much impossible!

Loopy I love that rapidly expanding feeling there is nothing better. Not so sure about the feeling rough bit lol.

Hatty Baby's are good all year round, although I quite fancy a winter baby cause it's the perfect excuse to snuggle up all winter and not leave the house. lol would be lovely if we could keep other company. x

My news well I have had horrendous Cystitis. So am drinking cranberry juice by the litre. I always seem to get it when coming of bc (well either its that or too much bd). I'm still waiting for some sign of anything happening. However DH is working away the second half of next week and then a full 2 weeks after that so I'll only have the weekends to make the most of him.

How are we all doing? Means, you sound so happy it's just lovely and such a good advert for having a 4th!

Pink, so glad I have someone else actively ttcing! Hopefully we will both manage to get pg the same month and then we can keep eachother going through the pregnancy!

Loopy, any news on your little bean?

Have given up on giving up ttcing due to dates being wrong of potential EDD. When I got pregnant with the twins I had decided not to go for it that month as it would be an August baby and very young for the year - that went out the window! When I got pregnant with DD3, we said let's not try this month as it'll be a Christmas baby and that went out the window and she was born on Boxing Day!

So am secretly hoping my confused logic will work this month and I will have a horrendous summer holidays next year but it will all be worth it! Clear as mud?!

Loopy, you must be so worried, crossing everything for you. Stay sticky little baby! xxxxx

Pink, lol, fun sounds good. IT's been a while since I had 'fun' with dh and the mw harping opn about contraception today did not make me feel very amorous lol!

Kat, how are things babe, have you chatted to the doc about your options with the treatment. Hope you are ok, here if you need us.xxx

BB, hiya!!!!

Ohhh my baby is soooo yummy!!!! I love being a mum to 4, it seems like the perfect number! She's slotted in so nicely! She's been jaundiced but is nice and pink now, it's been stressful but we've turned the corner now. :) Loving the newborness and sucking it all in :). I will miss this phase, the thought of never having a newborn again is sad but noooo way do I want to do it again!

Love to all.xxx

but don't think I have od'v yet. lol Not that it matters, had lots of fun. lol.

LOL too funny Loopy!! PMSL!!

Nothing happening at the moment, not quite sure but think if you class my withdrawal bleed as AF then I will be CD10, but not sure if I use withdrawal bleed or the day I stopped taking the pill???

Trying to keep an eye CM, but feels like a long time since I have done all this. Anyway DH is home tonight after a week of working away, so I am going to make the most of the whole weekend.

Loopy had a good look back and all was very helpful. I hope SCH shrinks away. It must be very worrying time for you I can't imagine how stressful it must be.

I am waiting to see if I ov this month I really hope so. Don't know why but I have convinced myself that it will not this time round! Maybe it's because I have left it much longer than ttc before, and I suppose I am getting older!!

Meansbeans fantastic congratulations. Sophia is such a lovely name you must be so happy.

meansbeans - what a lovely story, you sound so so happy - congratulations on your gorgeous girl!

kat - has the news sunk in yet!

pinkclouds - i have wobbles from time to time about having no 4, i guess it's good to think about it all now.

loopy - when is your scan, any news?

no news from me. AF turned up on day 28, right on time! wondering whether to put off ttcing for a couple of months to avoid a baby arriving slap bang in the middle of the summer hols!

Meanbeans sorry blooming iPhone playing up congratulations on the birth of Sophia lovely story and lovely name

Am in bed with DS snoring beside me he is gorgeous but hard work, he is a grumpy hungry little man he's a shock a big boy after 3 little girls. Anyway will check back when on proper pc x

OMG katandkankles I don't believe it two in a year! Congratulations I'm afraid I won't be joining you on no 5 though.

The short version.... My BA!

I had one lot of prostin thursday, by friday 6am still no changes to my cervix, still prosterior and firm. 6.40am (40mins later) I heard a pop and then went my waters. I sorted myself into new pj's and called dh, 20 mins on the monitor, 10 mins in ther early labour room where I could feel bearing down pains minutes after being examined and told I was 3cm dilated, up to delivery ward and 3 pushes later (during which I could feel her moving down into position) she was out! She had her cord tightly around her neck and under her left arm and had to be whisked off untangled and given oxygen. She did breathe spontaneously though. Scary stuff. So Sophia Rose was born on the 24th Sept weighing 8lb 14oz at 8:14am after a 1 hour 34 minute labour and she is perftect!

We had to stay in yesterday as Sophia's temperature dipped and I spent the night doing kangaroo care and her temp rose and stabilised.

We are home now, she is sooo yummy, the children are thrilled with the new addition. I feel suprisingly well!

Freaky moment....mw who delivered her asked when she arrived,....'does she have a nbame', I told her and she said 'noway, I was going to say why don't you name her Sophia'. How freaky is that lol!

omg peeps I'm so in love. I don't want to bath her to preserve her newborn yumminess.

Kat!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! What is meant to be will be hunni!!!!! I agree with not putting off your treatment, talk to the doc about it.xxx

Pink clouds, welcome!!! This is a lovely thread! You are very welcome here! It will all be fine! I have just become a mummy to 4 and I am on cloud 9!!!!!!! 4 is an AMAZING number! :)

Hi to everyone, I'm all full of newbornness at the moment. I love loove love this stage...my little miss is so yummy!!!

I think I am going mad, having a real wobble why I am doing this!!!

popped to the supermarket for the essentials (wine) was in their 5 mins. get back to the car and it won't start. Spent 2 hours waiting for it to be fixed!! Dh at home with kids having tea ect.

Maybe its the hormone rush from coming off the pill, just about in tears when I finally made it home. Spent the rest of the night feeling like some crazy women. DC and DH seemed perfectly happy thou. lol

Congrats Loopy. At least you will have someone to compare notes with!
