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?

According to an online due date calculator the EDD is 24th Dec!
Not going to join the ante natal thread just yet. Bit too soon. I'll just be lurking in the background here for a while if you don't mind. Good luck to the rest of you. x

24 dec!wow.thats a good xmas!im cd5 here,geting ready for business in a week

I'm at a similar stage scorpio. Getting ready for lots of fun and frolics again this month!

or making dp do it more than he wants to.....bless him!mine is workin long hours at mo too!

Hi, just spotted this thread too and wanted to add myself and say hi!!!

me: 38, 39 next month
dh: 37 this August
DS1: 5 next month, conceived without trying!!
DD2: took 7 months to conceive

CD1 today after m/c last month so really trying to get a BFP for May - was an only child and thought I would be happy with 2, especially one of each but had such a fantastic birth with the second that want another now - decided to do it straight away because of my age!! x

Hi Siennammm and sweetkitty,
Welcome to the group! I hope that it all works out for you TTC no.3, and that we get some more BFPs soon.

oh, forgot to say that dd is 8 months, not 7 months to conceive ha ha!

Hi all,
Just wanted to get this thread up and running again as all seems to have gone quiet (although I know a few are posting on the TTC May thread). And I think there have been some BFPs!! Please confirm
Any news from anyone? I am on CD 16, but not really sure when or if I've ov as cycle still seems a bit unsettled. Really hope it happens this month but trying not to raise hopes.
Hope everyone's ok.

hi everyone, i am on cd10 and keep using the OV sticks but still says I havent OVd yet? Not sure when I am meant to as had CD33 cycle last month and m/c the month before that and usually 28 days - got the OV sticks from e-bay 100 for 20 quid so they might be pretty useless (Fertility Plan) and dont want to miss our bd'ing time? Anyone any ideas when it could be or should we just bd every other day!! Ha ha. How is everyone else on here - everyone feeling positive about their BFPs? X

hi everyone, this has been a quiet thread since i have been away! so now on cd12 and still no sign of OV although i have a very faint line this evening so it could be the start - could the timing be about right? Only bd'd twice this month so far so hopefully we can get on with it in a few days. Had a 33 day cycle last month so does that mean OV will start in the middle of my cycle - around 16ish - even though i usually have 28 day cycles. God, what a nightmare to get your head around! LOL x

Hi, I'm still here and I have news - NOT a BFP that would have been extremely unlikely until today - yes I have had my mirena coil removed and we are officially starting to go for number 3 , feeling a bit......I don't know what actually!!!

McDreamy - first step taken to #3 for you, I can empathise with the uncertain of how you feel bit, I keep trying to make up my mind if I am doing the right thing listening to my broodiness. Hope that things happen quickly for you.

Hi Siennammmm,
Don't know the answer to your question but hopefully someone else does, just didn't want you to think you were being ignored.
Hi McDreamy and welcome and good luck! Hope we get some BFPs soon, it's all gone very quiet on this thread lately.

Siennamum- sorry i missed your previous post. I have never used ov sticks so don't know about them. But in answer to your ov question, the timing of ovulation can change from month to month, but the time between ov and af (luteal phase) stays the same each month. So for example if you have a 28 day cycle normally and you ov on day 14 that would mean a 14 day luteal phase, then next month you have a 32 day cycle you would have ov'd on day 18 (32-14). I am not sure if this makes it any clearer??? Have you got a positive opk result yet??

Sienna - forgot to say that LP can be anywhere between 11 and 15 days, but within an individual it only varies by about a day at most ususally. My lp is 11 days but occassionally it has been 12 days.

hi guys, just to let you know that I have still been using the OV sticks and finally got my two lines yesterday so have been bd'ing with dh yesterday and will do tonight as well - I never thought i would get the lines, just so pleased that they actually work, and yeah, its pretty much in the middle of my cycle. Hope everyone else is enjoying the weekend. X

i'm still trying my hardest! af due on thursday-ish.not hopeful even though we bd everyday!!dont think its ever gonna happen

Hi Scorpio,
Did you have problems conceiving before?
I know it's hard, feeling a bit low here too, have convinced myself that it hasn't happened this month, probably to ease the disappointment when af arrives later this week. Not really sure when I'm due as cycle has been different since misc. If af hasn't turned up by Fri will test that morning as I'm away Fri night and Sat (won't be able to hold out to Sun!).

no,no problems,apart from impatience! ds1 i dont really know, ds2 4 months, dc3 been ttc for 12 weeks so its not actually long at all! i have had a coil in,it appears to be taking time for the hormone to leave my womb-the first 6 weeks of the 12 mentioned above were on off bleeding, horrid.this cycle is the first one that resembles naything normal for me.

Sounds like there shouldn't be a problem then scorpio, and you should get your BFP soon. Impatience is a dreadful thing when you're in this game isn't it, I'm the same!

Hiya, im 26 and have a 6yr old and 1 yr old daughter. I fell pregnant by accident the first time, took 4 months the 2nd time and ive just miscarried with a third which was in one night. the baby was not planned but weve decided as soon as the bleeding stops we ll try straight away. now of course im worried ill m/c again or it ll take forever to get pregnant, but im being fairly optomistic as there is no reason why i should be so unlucky again.

Hi spugs, welcome and I'm so sorry to hear your news. I misc. in Feb and have been trying since. Had no problems previously so hope it happens soon (but misc. do seem to mess up your cycle a bit IME).
Hope it happens for you soon too. Take care.

hi spugs, just wanted to say how sorry about your loss hun and sending you loads of babydust. X

Just wanted to say I got my bfp and to wish everyone else here waiting for #3 that they get their wish soon.
