Going to start trying for a third in August, I already have a dd10 and a ds7. I don't mind a boy or a girl but if I could choose I would choose a girl as still have all dd gorgeous little dresses and cardigans don't know what happened to ds clothes!
Anyone else mad enough to try for a third??

I have 2 DS, youngest is almost 3. We stopped using contraception back in May, and since August have tried to do it on the right days.... but no bfp as yet! Sods law, since we decided we were going to try, my periods have been a bit irregular, and I've had two 34 day cycles, including last month - both times I have wondered if I am pg, only to get AF eventually. This month I have started using some ovulation sticks - this morning I tested positive, so here goes again.
However, I am 38! The irregular periods could mean I'm peri-menopausal! There may be no baby no.3 for me 
Good luck to everyone else!

Hi can I join?
Wanting to conceive no 3, DH somewhat reluctant [happy with the two lively boys we have already!] but not saying no...
We did get pregnant accidently around June but unfortunately when I went for my 12 week scan there wasn't a heartbeat Had ERPC September 20th and still waiting for first 'proper' AF [I had a bleed a couple of weeks ago but not sure if that was AF or just further bleeding post ERPC].
I would dearly love a third but have just turned 40... was ecstatic when I got pregnant at 39 as I felt as if I just squeaked in prior to my predetermined conception cut off age of 40... Never thought I would still be trying to conceive at this ripe old age but there you go!
However I am very happy with the two lovely DC I have and so if the third isn't meant to be I am sort of okay with that... but would still like to try and see what happens [hopefully no more mc though or worse...]

Hi Ladies, haven't been here since 29th Aug. Still want #3, but #1 and #2 keep us quite busy, but not as busy in the bedroom.
Nutcracker and Handsfull, I am so sorry for your losses, exactly the same thing happened to me with a little one that would have been between my two sons. I found out that they had gone at the 12 week scan and they think he/she was 10 weeks and 2 days old, it was a missed miscarriage but I had an instinct all wasn't right as the symtoms of pregnancy disappeared all at once a week before the scan. Be kind to yourselves, it took me by surprise how devastating that loss is and I still grieve for that little one now, and wonder what they're doing, watching over us.
On the period thing, my hormones were really messy afterwards and it took 3 months for my cycle to normalise, I had breakthrough bleeding, and the cervix must be a bit open afterwards as there was a spot of blood each time I ovulated, but the womb lining wasn't up to the job. It's worth diarising the dates so you can get a handle on the cycle as it normalises. The good news is that following the first normal period, I was pregnant, and that resulted in #2 who was a healthy, bouncing 2 week overdue 10lb'er, so the waiting is horrible as you've just suffered the worst loss, but I can tell you that it will settle down, and you're normal cycle will push through.
I am so sorry for your losses, and all I can imagine is both those perfect souls were too good for this world. That was what I thought of my little one.
We've only DTD once this month on CD10 but my cycles are 25-6 days long and both DS1 & DS2 were conceived early on. I've still got 9 days to AF, but raised an eyebrow when having my waxing as it only hurt on the right side. And I've been getting some period pains on that side too. Though it could be just my imagination that is fertile.
Congrats to Gru too, and let others take the Brie

Thanks everyone for being so welcoming, I am so glad to have found you all!
Firstly, Gru congratulations and I hope all goes well with your pregnancy!
hands I am so sorry to hear your news. I hope you are okay 
It's just really shit, I know.
And thanks for the words of wisdom re cycles bunny... basically I had bleeding for about 3 days after ERPC and then it stopped entirely. Then roughly a week later after bleeding had stopped I felt crampy and moody like AF was on it's way and I had what seemed like a normal AF bleed... so we DTD about a couple of times around 10 to 14 days later... I know you're perhaps not meant to try to conceive again until you've had your first 'proper' AF but we thought we'd try anyway!
I really really really want my third baby and I hope everyone on this thread is able to have theirs too.
