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

No way! Loopy thats so weird!!
Due date buddies :)

Congratulations means :o :o :o :o :o :o

Sounds quick and perfect!

How's everyone?

Kat You will be amazing you have managed 4. You already have everything you need, and look at all experience you already have. xx

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, can't wait I am so excited now spoke to my mum and thought she would be really p**d off, but in fact was really happy, Not had one negative comment yet!!! (there is time)

Babyblue how are you finding 4? what are your age gaps.

Sorry about late posting I work evenings till about 12am so get to catch up at strange times!! x

Thanks BB... I absolutely adore all my DCs and I love the chaos but.. dunno... 5???

Need to tell Dh trouble is he usually goes to bed before the older DCs and he's mega stressed with work atm.

He's an AMAZING Dad (when he's here - he works a lot) and is completely besotted with Ava so I know he'd be fine but he worries about money etc...

We are lucky in that we have a nice biggish house with 6 bedrooms (my mum has one of them as she lives with us). All the DCs currently have their own bedroom - I can imagine their faces if I tell them 2 of them have to share!

OMG Kat!!! Congratulations! Hopefully once the shock wears off you will do fine. Make sure you tell the doc about your situation before doing the cervical procedure. My sisters doc said that pregnancy actually prevents any further growth of the cells (hormone related I guess). Taks care of yourself and that little blessing you are carrying!

Rainbow! How have you been??

Welcome pink! I have been a member of this thread for 2 years now! My #4 is now 14 months old!

Welcome pink. I joined when I was TTC ~4 and she's now 4 months old :D

Am in denial.... currently am smoking a lot and hoping it goes away (sorry if that's insensitive just how I feel at the moment). If it continues I will come to terms with it and be fine and love it but it would be easier if it didn't work out...
It's not even really the baby.. it's the pregnancy, it was horrendous the last time... SPD and all sorts. Not sure how I'll manage being sofa bound with ababy....

I'm due to have a loop excision on my cervix on Tuesday as I got diagnosed with stage 3 cervical dysplasia just before I fell pg with Ava. There's no way I'm putting it off for any longer and risking cancer....

Still haven't told DH but I told my Mum who was great although she's mega maternal and would have had 300 babies if she could have so she started going on about it maybe being a boy etc.. I was like woah hang on!!

Thanks for your well wishes rainbow.... how are you?

Welcome pinkclouds! How exciting, going for no 4!

I'd just get on with trying if I were you - you can never have enough practise!

Hi everyone I am newbie to site but think I found the right thread.
Me and my dh have decided to try for number 4. My youngest ds will be 4yrs next week. We thought that was a big enough gap and if we leave it any longer we won't bother. lol

We nervous and excited!!! I came off the pill on Saturday 18/09 and having withdrawal bleed now. Don't know whether to wait for a normal bleed or just get on with trying!!!!

Kat - Congratulations, and yes you will do great with 5.

Oh my goodness Kat!!! Congratulations!! You must be feeling a huge rollercoaster of emotions!

Don't people say that the more kids you have the easier it gets to adjust? ie 1 to 2 is the biggest shock, 2 to 3 is easier etc?

Can GP advise re implant?

Do you have much help at home/with the kids?

When do you think you will tell DH?

We have two families of 5 around here and they are great - not much gaps at all around the little ones, they are year 1, reception and school nursery!

Don't worry at all about posting here - it distracts me from my 2WW, day 28 today gulp! Am too scared to test, scared of it being postitive and scared of it being negative!

OH MY GOD.
SOmeone up there is playing a trick on me... remember my post about the implant and weird bleed.
Did a test today just to put my mind at rest 99.9% sure it would be negative... HUGE FUCKING BFP.

SHIT SHIT

Ava is only 4 months old.... I must be nearly 8 weeks pregnant.

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Haven't told anyone, not even DH. Too scared... I know he'll be supportive (he's fab) but I don't want to make it real by saying it out loud.

Sorry if this is insensitive, I know most of you are ttc but didnt know where else to post.

Tell me 5 children won't kill me... this one will be born before Ava's 1st birthday.

If it even works out, I still have my implant in

Good luck Means! It's just so exciting! Hope it all goes really well.

Loopy how are you getting on?

Am so utterly convinced am not pg am refusing to test

Good luck Means!! Hope you have a quick and pain free delivery!! Cant wait to see pics of your gorgeous Sophia!

Loopy! You are doing great hunni!!! Stay positive, we are all rooting for your little one.xxx

Hatty, POAS already lol!!!! I used to cave at about cd23 lol!!!! Go on you know you want to lol! Good luck.xxxx

BB, life is manic here too, I keep forgetting to pop in here, I have totally neglected my MN AN club, I can't keep up with them all lol.

I've been in hospital, my heartrate was racing so I went on a 24hour ECG, all is ok but I am being induced 2 days before my due datye this WEDNESDAY!!!!!! Bricking it.......I blooming hate contractions, I hope I can do as I did with DD and go into the zone lol! Wish me luck girls.xxxx

Loopy - havent had much time to post as RL is getting in the way. Hope you hang in there. What incredible news! I had a massive bleed at 16 weeks with DS1 and thought it was all over, but he is a healthy monster boy today! Hope your scan goes well and this little bean is really sticky :)

It's bizarre isn't it how you can welcome nausea as a good thing when you're desperate for it to be a healthy pregnancy!

Oh how I hate the 2 week wait. .

Loopy I don't kind of feel this is the month - so will try and be strong and just wait to see if AF arrives. I have got bloating and grumbly tummy ache..

but GP's surgery has just phoned to say they think I have coeliac disease (wheat intolerance) due to persistent tiredness/low iron and want to start doing tests for it. So I am preoccupied with that I guess and it's taking my mind off the 2WW!

Although I do have a spare pregnancy test in the bathroom cabinet .

Are you managing to distract yourself from the next scan?

Loopy you're such a trooper. Really hope things start to settle down for you.

Not much news here - day 21 and I am trying not to symptom spot. Am a hormonal crazy lady but that could well be PMT approaching early!

One of the mums at school has just announced her pregnancy with her 6th child -so 4 seems less daunting! We live in a big catholic area so there are lots of large families around which is motivating.

Kat, any news on the RA?

Loopy! Yay! I hope it's reabsorbed quickly. I had significant blood loss with ds2, they suggested a twin loss, it went through clothing and all over the floor within seconds of agonising cramps, then quickly stopped again, how ds2 hung on I'll never know. There is hope! :)
