TTC No. 3

[greedyforbabies]

hello! have been ttc no.3 since last april now. ds took about 3 or 4 cycles to concieve and dd 1 cycle, so i am finding this hard to get my head round!

the main reason for starting this thread, if anyone is interested, is that sometimes i feel really bad chatting on the other threads about age gap concerns, how i will cope with another one etc....when lots of other 'posters' are ttc no.1.

it makes me feel a bit guilty going on about no.3 when some other MNers have such tragic stories.

anyway, i know there are a few of you out there also ttc no.3. Do you all have big houses and cars?

i have my second bld test tomorrow to check my hcg levels to see if my pg is viable or not. i am not holding out much hope. i have had too much bleeding for everything to still be ok i am sure.
pecka - if you are around, i know you will understand this cos you had vey similar at xmas. unfortunately my dh isn't a haematologist

Fingers crossed for you pecka.

I would like to pass on that I got a BFP this morning, not due till friday. Sorry bad timing with your news pecka.

Wow, this thread's gone quiet! I guess everyone's on the ttc in Feb thread.

Well, you may have seen already that I got my BFP today!

Still hasn't sunk in yet, I did the other ClearBlue digital test out of the twin pack about an hour ago just to see if it still showed up as positive... it did thankfully!

Not quite 4 weeks along yet and due around the 14th October I think.

I will be lurking on the due in Oct thread for a while, not quite got the courage to post there yet given how early days it is.

Fingers crossed that lots of us will be on there together soon! X

HI Jo join in on the october thread. I'm on there expecting on the 12th Oct I think so we are very close. I've tested 3 times since last wed just in case . Congrats.

yep I am still here trying for no. 3 welcome

Yep, still trying. We're mostly on the Feb TTC thread I think, come over there!

hiya jersey and joandtheboys! i am on the october thread too! due on 5th oct! cant believe how many people are on that thread already and how many people are having no.3 on there!

good luck all you other ttc no.3ers!

How are you? - all those who are still ttc#3

hi everyone

well its time to join you i believe.
i think i must have been with MN for my 2 times ttc and now for no3.Just take it slowly at the moment as i just had a section 10 weeks ago (3 sections now).so hope to work at my ttc with you ladies

Is anyone else still ttc number three or have I been left on my own!

I'm here. Trying to stay away from the tests. Are you still waiting?

I'm only on CD6 I think. It's hard to tell because I spotted for a couple of days and then had a barely there period. GP said I should start counting my cycle day from when the proper bleeding started. I've got some ov sticks because I really am unsure of myself this month and I have pre-seed to as I thought it would be worth a go!

re you due to test soon then?

I'm due on Tuesday. I saw your other thread about the OPKs, just going over there ...

38 and going for no3. Chance of having another slim, but am going to try IUI. Anyone else in similar position?

Hi loubers - not IUI but I am 39 and ttc#3.

Fruitful - did you test again today??? hope it really comes up a strong bfp for you today.

goingfor3 - you and I are still cycle buddies by the looks of things, whatever is affecting you is affecting me too! You started 4 days early with a light af, I started 3 days early with the same. Went to the doc last thursday to get blood tests done to confirm that I am not pg. Results will be known by end of this week. I know I am not but having had two extremely light af's in a row, I thought I should get it checked. Sorry I am waffling about me here, how are you. I am ov-ing again already it would appear, how about you?

fresco - hi to you too.

Hi Mum03. I don't have any tests left. Could go and get one, but I just know that if I test, then AF will show up 10 minutes later!

We're hoping to exchange contracts on our house sale today or tomorrow. I can't decide which thing to be more stressed about!

Did the docs suggest any reason for light afs? Have you started taking any diff vitamins recently? I started taking B vitamins and magnesium and the next period was light, painless, and all bright red - no clots or brown (sorry if tmi!). Sadly the effect didn't last.

Hi all those TTC no.3,
Just to give you some background. I am 38 (just!) and have two DS, 4 and 2. DH and I decided to start trying for no.3 in the new year, fell pregnant straight away but sadly miscarried at 5 weeks (mid Feb). Felt that the only way to get over it was to contiue trying, and really thought I might be pregnant again straight away (no period since miscarriage). However started bleeding today so obviously I'm not. Really sad today, I soooo want to be pregnant again. Having silly thoughts about never being able to have another baby cause of my age. It's not the sort of thing I want to talk to anyone about cause I know I'm being stupid, and I'm sure that I will have another baby at some point (didn't have any problems conceiving DS). Think that it's because I'm such a control freak and I hate not being able to control this part of my life! Everyone I know seems to be pregnant or just had a baby and two of my closest friends have 3 children and I feel really jealous which is completely ridiculous.
Really good to read some success stories on this thread. Hope I can join you.
Any words of wisdom gratefully received!

"bump"

Hi Karma, nope - you are not too old yet, we are all youngsters here !

Thanks mum03. Hope we all have some good news soon. Reading one of your messages - what is IUI? Sorry for my ignorance.

Hi ladies - I am not TTC #3 (wish I was though!!! ) but am creeping in form TTC#1 and temping threads (mum03 knows me!!) to compare notes with fruitful

Fruitful - I just noticed your post about the B vits etc and the exact same thing has just happenend to me - Started taking loads of herbal/vitamin supplements in Feb and my cycle was nice and regular - 26 days (normal for me) and AF started with no symptoms (no sore (.)(.), no pms, no cramps and also went straight to red with no brown spotting). I was very excited, but then this month it is all back to normal - all the symptoms have returned along with even more spotting and a shorter cycle???

Whats up with that!

Seaside - you could always try for triplets!!!!

Seaside - the first month I had a shorter cycle (by a few days) and was lighter than normal, no spotting, bright red. I was wondering what was going on and did a bit of googling and wondered if it might be the vits. If you have really rotten pmt or periods they recommend you take b-vits and magnesium (and a load of other things too) so it makes sense that it would change things somehow!

2nd month I had agonisingly sore boobs and a heavy period but am ttc so it may have been "one that got away". This month, normal service.

I think I'm going to stick to folic acid and start taking the multivit once I'm pregnant.

Hi mum03, odd that we seem to be going through the same thing! I'm ov'ing around now. I've decided not to caluculate and exact af date and have gone for a timeframe of a few days so I don't get too fussed about being early or late. I'm not going to test early either as it only leads to disapointment. On the bright side we have made alot more effort this month and it has been for pleasure rather than baby making. I'm feeling hopeful at the moment but I'm sure I will go up and down, but I'm also not sure if I really want a christmas baby which is probably why it feels so much more relaxed. I hope things work out for you, have you had your results yet?
