Hi everyone

I am a mum of 3 and we are currently trying for our forth and final baby Smile

We caught on first time with all our other 3. Seems to be taking a while long this time has anyone else experienced this? I am sure it will happen in good time Smile

Anyone else mad enough to want or have 4? Some people think I am crazy Wink

Hi can I join too I am trying ttc no 5 I conceived my other 3 very quick first one was an accident. Think my age has a lot to do with it I am 37 in a few months.

Hi clairewright32 just wanted to ask you how did you find the jump from 3 to 4? What sort of age gaps do you have? I've heard a lot of people say it's easier than 2 to 3? I suppose it mustn't be too bad if your ttc no 5! Good luck xxx

I'm pregnant with number 5 Grin

Having 4 is lovely, sometimes slightly hectic but you get very good at working out the logistics of doing everything. People will think you're crazy but they're just jealous let them crack on with it.

I've been lucky and fallen pretty quickly with all of mine
Dc1 surprise
Dc2 4 months
Mc surprise
Dc3 1 cycle
Dc4 surprise
Mc 1cycle
Dc5 1 cycle
As you can see contraception fails me fairly regularly as well!

Good luck everybody, I hope you get your bfps soon Smile

Humphrey the cycle after my first mc I bled at ovulation time, apparently it's a good sign of fertility. Are you using blue or pink dye tests? Blue are well known for evaps but pink not so likely. If it's an evap it should appear after the time limit and have no colour in it. Fingers crossed your getting a very early bfp x

I have a big gap between my 2nd and 3rd my daughter is 18 my son is 17 then me two wee ones are 7 and 8. My cycle is very strange this month I am normally a 32 day cycle. I did the clear blue digital test for ovulating. It came up a peak on day 21 so I thought oh well I am late a couple of days. Then on day 24 I was getting signs I was ovulating so I done a clear blue normal came back positive. So I think the digital one was wrong so now I am two days late. I take it if you ovulate late my period will be late. I have done tests they all are a bfn. I hate the waiting ??

Morning all, I'm using the blue dye internet cheapies but did a First Response which was most definitely BFN. I've taken up temping again in desperation and the temps are all over the place.

I read about ovulation bleeding and was hopeful but temps don't show as post OV.

Good luck everyone. I'm trying to decide when my cut off time should be. Originally it was 2 years ago but I appear to have extended that somewhat. Grin

IamBrian-congratulations on expecting No5.Smile I think if I'd met DH earlier I would have persuaded him to go for No 6-lol.

Hi ladies just wondered how your all getting on?

Morning sickness has officially landed here I feel like death most of the day I forgot how it feels completely!

I've also been having a lot of twinges has anyone else had this? I can't remember it with the other 3 but it's on my right side and feels sore when it happens, and in a strange coincidence my right arm occasionally feels as though I've had a flu jab in the top of it and I can't lift it up far because the muscle in that arm is so sore it's really bizarre! Just wondered of anyone else had had anything like this or is it just because it's our 4th baby that everything feels magnified this time? Xx
