Hi all,

So as the title says, we are TTC baby number 4!
I have been using the Flo app, but AF arrived 2 days early last month and now I'm unsure about ovulation date etc, but believe I'm around 4/5 dpo.

Anyway, I'd love a TWW buddy!! It can be so hard 😫 so having someone else to chat to and let's face it, symptom spot, with is fab!

Can I join you please? I’m trying to conceive number 4 as well. I’m with a new partner and we want one together. I’m 39 and all my previous children have been sections so I’m a little nervous. I’m only on cycle day 5 so behind you but keeping my fingers crossed for you x

Hi!

Of course you can join! I was beginning to think no one would 😂

I can imagine you must be feeling nervous about a section again! All of mine were normal births, really loooooong normal births 😂

How old are your others? How you feeling about a fourth fitting in? X

Can I join? I'm 38 and ttc number 4! This will be dps 2nd (older two with exdp). All girls! 13, 11 and 2.

We've only just started ttc. It was very quick with dd3 but I know we might not get that lucky again.

I'm also using flo. Its showing as ovulation in 6 days. We've been dtd every night since Sunday. Dp things he's won the lottery 😂

Helenj1977 · 18/02/2021 20:15

I've just realised you want a two week wait buddy. I'm not there yet 😩

812mumof3 · 18/02/2021 20:30

@helenj1977 don't worry! Happy to have you here!

My others are girl- 8, girl - 6, boy - 2.
Another boy would be nice to finish our family off.

We decided to start trying last month but according to flo we started trying 2 days after ovulation 🤷‍♀️. This month iv been doing OPK test but if truth be told, they just confused me. They were cheap so maybe that was the problem?

But I'm on CD19 now. AF due in 12 days. This cycle was shorter than normal, so that's throwing me off too. We are just Dtd as often as possible and hoping for the best 😂

@hopetobeamumof4
I think a 4th will fit in well. I'm a bit worried about the house size lol. We are in a 3 bed just now so will prob need a 4 bedroomed house at some point. But to be honest, my kids are all close and happy to share.
What about you?

Hey can I join in? I'm 34 and have an 11 year old from previous relationship! I'm currently on 3dpo of cycle 2, I didn't ovulate til cd20, but I had a chemical pregnancy last month. I really hope it's our month 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Helenj1977 · 18/02/2021 20:37

Thank you!

I think no 4 will just fit in nicely! It will be great for dd3 to have a sibling closer in age.

Hopetobeamumof4 · 18/02/2021 22:12

I am so excited about it! I can’t stop thinking about it but I have to admit I’m so scared of a 4th section. I’ve heard horrid things. But I’m willing to do it. Mine are 12 girl, 10 boy and 7 boy. My partner has a girl 7 from his previous relationship so I really don’t mind what I have x

I’m in a 3 bed as well! Not sure where a baby will go if I can have one but it all sorts out hey 😉x

@fifi1086 welcome! I hope this is your month!

I'm happy to squeeze a forth into my 3 bedroom home 😂 babies are small right? 🤪🤔

Aw no, I hope you don't end up with another section. I always dreading a section. The recovery seems so long!?

I feel so strange just now. I believe I may of ovulated on the 15th, but not 100%, but my app says then. That night we dtd and I had terrible cramps afterwards! Never had that before. It felt like mild labour! The next morning the cramps had gone but I was so uncomfortable. Just a heavy, uncomfortable feeling, it was as if it was in my uterus. Have any of you had that? I still felt the same feeling yesterday and this morning. 🤷‍♀️ feels so odd though. And if I cough, it's a very slightly painful feeling, right low down, like uterus?

I think I'm loosing my mind and questioning everything I feel, and DH thinks I'm broken 🤦‍♀️😂
