TTC No. 3

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?

Goingfor3 - yep went to look at my results today - apparently I am in the peak of health and not pg! So it looks like my short light periods were just that. I have decided that as soon as I confirm ov though temps rising (hopefully tomorrow), I am going to try to take a step back and relax and enjoy a couple of weeks with no focus on ttc. Not sure how I will deal with my mn addiction . But each time I read about you cycle, it is so like mine it is spooky. What is the betting we have af/pg result at the same time again this month? I will let you know tomorrow if I have def. already ov'd yet or still currently oving.

Thanks fruitful - I have just started my next AF (2nd on the supplements) and it is horrific -heavy, sore boobs for a week before, crazy PMS, cramps, headache etc. Rubbish!!

I hope it gets better again next month

Hi Mum03 and goingfor3,
Just to update me (as I'm too lazy to read all your messages!) how long have you both been trying?

goingfor3 · 26/03/2007 10:45

Hi Karma, I've been trying since Jan. It's frustrating as I got pregnant straight away before!

karma · 26/03/2007 21:41

Hi goingfor3,
I know what you mean. Was really ready to be pregnant again in Jan and couldn't believe it when I had that BFP the first month of trying. Sadly of course I miscarried fairly soon after that. Just keep counting those days each month. Now worried that I won't be able to conceive again and/or that it will take ages, and unfortunately do not have time on my hands as 38 now. Guess I should just chill and see what happens - easier said than done!!

yum03creameggs · 26/03/2007 22:32

we were half-heartedly ttc end of last year, but only really started this year, on cycle 4 now.

bonkerz · 26/03/2007 22:36

Hi all, Joined this thread in Jan determined to concieve ASAP, well two months on and i havent seen my period since Jan 19th! Not pregnant though just body messed up i suppose. So either the 8 tests ive done are wrong and im about 8 weeks pregnant or im still waiting for my body to sort itself out. Will be going doctors next month if period doesnt show again! In the mean tie i am confused about if i can try or not!!!

McCadburysDreamyegg · 01/04/2007 16:10

Hi I would love to join your group! DH has just come back from Afghanistan and I'm due to have my coil out in a few days - then it's folic acid and off we go

I already have DD aged 4 and DS aged 20 months

yum03creameggs · 01/04/2007 16:21

Hi McCadbury's. I have a ds age3 and a dd age 2, and decided at the end of last year we would see if no3 would happen. Not so far, but we are working on it .

Bonkerz - any news from you? have you got an answer to the missing af yet?

Karma - are you managing to chill? how is it going?

goingfor3 - we have another interesting week this week, we will have to try again for being pg buddies this week, lets hope we both make it.

Seaside, fruitful, loubers, fresco, loopymumsy, jersey, and everyone else - what is your latest, will you update us on how you all are and if no/3 is happening already for any of you?

beluga · 02/04/2007 20:40

Still trying for No3 but not sure how long to go on trying. Need fertility treatment but can't afford it. Any miracle stories please!

scorpio1 · 03/04/2007 09:45

im ttc dc3, and have 2 ds already-2 and 4.
this is my 2nd cycle ttc after a mirena removal.

im also on the april board,hi goingfor3!

yum03creameggs · 07/04/2007 19:35

Another venture back to cd 1 today for me. I concieved on cycle 4 with the last two pg's, thought it would happen again - obviously not as I am now onto cycle 5, age is obviously starting to have an effect for me....

Hope everyone else is doing ok - any no3 babies on the way yet????

scorpio1 · 07/04/2007 20:25

not yet...my af due today and not here yet...

yum03creameggs · 07/04/2007 20:58

Scorpio - hope we get good news from you soon then...

scorpio1 · 07/04/2007 20:59

well i am hoping so but am not convinced!

panchagarmendia · 09/04/2007 16:11

hi everyone, can i join you please? i'm 33, have dd aged 4 and ds aged almost 2 and didn't really realise i wanted no3 until i thought i might be pregnant but then it turned out that i wasn't! i was so surprised about the disappointment i thought it must be time to ttc no 3. dh has always been going on about having 3 so here we go! or at least we hope...
so good luck to everybody and please bear with me as english is not my mother tongue

scorpio1 · 09/04/2007 16:24

hi pancha

still no af here...how about everyone else??

panchagarmendia · 09/04/2007 16:48

hi scorpio
are you going to test soon? how can you bear the suspense? or we for that matter
i'm really curios how it will go for us this time since i fell pregnant quite quickly before but had mc with first pregnancy and between dd and ds.

scorpio1 · 09/04/2007 16:50

im finding it quite hard to ignore, but i havent long had a mirena coil out,and therefore htink it might just be my body settling down after removal.

good luck!

panchagarmendia · 09/04/2007 16:51

or curious even!

SparklePrincess · 10/04/2007 21:03

Hi everyone, Im about to start ttc #3 too. Im 34 & currently have 2 lovely girls aged 6 & 8. I wont dare tell my family, they`ll think im mad. I just keep thinking that if I dont do it now it will be too late.
Good luck to everyone ttc#3 this month

karma · 11/04/2007 19:52

Hi all,
Welcome to all our new club members!
My af is due 17th. Dh thinks that it has definitely happened this month, but then he is the eternal optimist! Had a miscarriage in Feb and even though have had af since still think my cycle may be a bit weird for a while (or so people have said) so not overly optimistic. Will keep you posted.
Hope it happens for some of us soon. Good luck everyone.

SparklePrincess · 13/04/2007 10:33

Will keep my fingers crossed for you karma

scorpio1 · 13/04/2007 10:37

my af is still AWOL too

Curlygirly · 13/04/2007 11:04

Hi, can I join your club?
I have 2 ds's age 4.5 and 20 months. I had a miscarriage in Feb and AF is due on Sunday but hopefully not!
