TTC no 3? Anyone just started / about to start / about to start thinking about it?

[bonzo77]

I am absolutely not going to go nuts about it this time like I did for no 2. Because my kids have each other and won't be alone looking after their ancient parents in years to come. But a 3rd would be a bonus. And part of me doesn't care either way, and another part cannot wait for a lovely little snuggly new born. And part of me is enjoying getting my nights back, and my body, and is worried about the money, the lack of bedrooms, the need for a bigger car, having another miscarriage, or high risk pregnancy, a 3rd CS, a baby in intensive care. But then 5 months of no contraception and nothings happening..... The baby is 11 months, and we said we'd start putting more effort in once he is 1....

Anyone in the same boat? Want to hang out and worry / pretend not to worry?

Fingers crossed for you bonzo. I hope you get your BFP.

I have my appointment with the GP tomorrow to get the whole booking in business rolling. I had been holding off making an appointment because of my earlier bleeding but I haven't had any for a week now so I thought it was time to get things going. I'm 5+4 today so still very early days. I've also already managed to blurt out to two people that I'm pregnant even though I wasn't planning on telling anyone. I must learn to stop myself. I blame it on a combination of being excited and also the nausea starting up. It can be hard to hide when I am feeling really unwell.

Oops, actually meant to post that on the other TTC3 thread but never mind. I think quite a few of us are on both anyway.

Hello ladies, can I join in?
I have two lovely daughters aged 3yrs and 7yrs and up till recently I was done having babies.
Even though i've always wanted 3 children we decided we'd stop at two. Both of our girls took ages to conceive, 2nd time round was ridiculously stressful, pregnancies were rubbish both times and both girls have been poorly as toddlers with long horrible stays in hospital. The eldest has genetic conditions but we've adapted and she copes amazingly well, doing great in mainstream school.
We decided we'd been through enough worry and we'd call it quits... only then last month I found out I was 8 wks pregnant, after initial shock wore off we were over joyed, pregnancy doesn't just happen like that for us so we took it as a sign 3 was the magic number after all. Only as soon as we got excited it was over, I miscarried 2 wks ago. It was my first MC and I was shocked how awful it was, sorry if that sounds stupid but in the past getting pregnant has been the hard part I never imagined i'd MC.

Now OH wants a third baby, I do too, but i'm scared what if it takes ages ttc, what if I MC again, what if the baby has worsening of known genetic problems, what if my body falls apart, i'm not getting any younger.
What if its all a big mistake!!

We can cope with the no money part, I gave up work with number 1, and we've managed to scrape by. And the no space part is ok, we've a 3 bed but lots of garden ;)

I'm scared of what might happen, but also scared i'll regret no trying.

Any words of wisdom?

Hey everyone! I'm back!

Mummy; I have no words of wisdom but in making the decision myself to decide to try for a third I thought about it like this: if you are told tomorrow that you cannot have a third, what's your first immediate emotion? Mine was sadness, so I knew it was the right decision.
My second has some health problems and has had a lot of stays in hospital. It's sad watching her suffer but we cope with it, you have to and you get through it. I hope if we do have another it won't have the same problems, but if it does, we'll cope, because they're my kids and I'll do everything to help them and nurture them. Even if hospital food is rubbish!

So, I'm on CD25, I have absolutely no idea when I ov'd! I must of done by now, I really hope so as we DTD a lot!! Last cycle was 32 days so going by that, I'm 6-7dpo. Fingers crossed. I literally couldn't do anymore that we did.

Bonzo; you're not over til she shows up so fingers crossed for you!
busy; the sickness is def a good thing, although it doesn't feel like it at the time! ;)
Hope everyone is ok, any news?
Xx

Well my reaction would be emptiness, sadness and anxiety about what on earth I'll do in the future if I don't have 3! I registered as a childminder about 18 mnths ago to look after some friends children two days a week, those are my happiest days when my house is full of chaos :)
I'm sorry your daughter has had to be in hospital, your child being ill is just the worst kind of pain, my eldest had a brain abscess aged 3 (totally unrelated to genetic stuff) and my little one meningitis aged 2, they both made full recovery, though the eldest was ill for about 6 mnths while I was pregnant with second, was a terrible time :(
Anyway enough about me, fingers crossed this is your month xxxxxxx

Keepers mummy, that sounds awful, I'm so glad they both recovered well!! They scare you to bloody death don't they? ;) that must have been awful for you to watch.

Sounds like you are making the right decision for you then! Is this your first month trying? It's our second but both my kids took longer than that so I'm not expecting it to be this easy!
Xx

Yes I think they're trying to kill through worry, death by grey hairs!
We weren't really ttc before I had MC few weeks ago, but haven't used any contraception since 2012 so not actively trying to not get pregnant either!
Think we're going to wait till Xmas before we start ttc properly. I'm still worried but leaning towards it being worth the risks :)
Good luck to you xxxx

Hi all. Haven't been around for a while due to life - holiday, applying for a new job, full on at work etc. Still not pg. Should be ovulating this weekend so typically dh is working nights.

Congrats to those of you who've had bfps, great to see some positivity around. Good luck to everyone else x

I know this is a zombie thread... but I started it so her we go....

BFP! Oh My God. Haven't even told anyone yet!
