****TTC no.3?**** Care to join?****

[LadyOfTheFlowers]

Anyone else trying to concieve no.3? Anyone else nuts?

Nobody else? Or is there already a thread for those going for no.3?

Hello LOTF

Well i am nuts too!!

I've 2DC aged 10 & 11, and i'm 37, so i thought i had definitely put all this behind me... however, am now with brand new DH (the man that told me not long after we met that he did NOT want any children of his own) and he is incredibly broody, as am i!!

LOL
That's great!
You are much braver than I! DS1 is 2 and DS2 is 1. If I leave it any longer, I know I won't want to go back!

There are quite a few us of TTC our third on the thread about TTC around/after xmas. Good luck to you both! Oh and my ds's are 6 & 3, lol!

I found that thread quite busy!
I couldn't really get a post in edgeways! LOL

Hi,i'm ttc no 3 we have a dd6 and dd8 this is our second cycle. Hoping for a xmas day bfp!!!

Hello all

i am ttc no3 in new yr - well maybe feb as DD1 will be starting school in Sept and don't want to have new baby same month

am worried tho'.... my two get on very well - will I ruin the dynamic? will DS get 'middle child syndrome'? (does it actually exist?) How will I cope with 3???? Also worried about being pg and looking after 2 DC. I get BAD morning sickness and also find the last few months very tiring.

Also for me it will probably be another c/s. Not sure if 3 c/s is excessive....

BUT despite all the reasons not to go for another I can't seem to stop thinking about it. Surely 2 is just too easy?

Hi!
I think you are 'allowed' to have 3 sections? I'm not sure.
My two boys are 1 and 2 so are getting closer by the day. The more DS" grows the closer they get.
I am worried any third child will get left out.
This is my last crack for a girl I think although three boys would be lovely too.
I have come to thinking that if the next baby is a girl, she would not feel so left out, but a boy definately would feel left out of DS1 & DS2s relationship iyswim?

i know how you feel because i hav 2 ds 5 and dd 3 but my fear is for my dd as at min both hav special place oldest been 1st born youngest been last born but if another arrives where will now youngst 1 fit in because she will become just the middle 1? anyway it played on my mind so much and people even called my selfish for wanting number 3 but i then realised i hav so much love to give i wouldnt allow any to feel left out... so i say just go for it because i will be after xmas!!! and hopefully we will find that all fit in and have a speecial place lol!!!!

hi all of you i have been lurking on these threads about ttc and we also thinking about bambino no 3, but i too am worried cos it will actually be my second and dh third an i am really worried about the dynamics. the two boys get on brilliantly [ss is 8 and ds is 2] there is the usual probs but also some of you may have seen on other thtreads that dh a bit over the top [i mean that in the nicest way] withh ss and there are a couple of issues between us because of that but it is gettin better also my ds was a bit of a miracle baby after tryin for 11 years and so i am REALLY worried it will spoil the relationship with him am i being too precious , i would like another one and dh really would any body got any answers ? by the way ladyflowers sorry to hijack and good luck and hopefully? we will soon all be on an antenatal thread

LOTF - hi! i think i might already be a few mnoths gone with DC3, morning sickness all day, but 3 negative tests. still got one more to do in 2 weeks and then they send me for tests lol. anyhow, if i am brill if not them then i'm as i', ttc another! ds1 is 2, ds2 is 9months, mad, definately, but still it'll be grest fun. like you am holding out for a girl, not sure when i'd stop if this one wasn't a DD!

x-post - sprry tinkerbell, if you had another boys then it would be special as you'd have, oldest child, only daughter, youngest child. if girly you'd have oldest child, 1st girl, youngest child!

I'm trying for no3 - am 35 with ds 4 in Feb and dd 2 and 3 months

Mrs Bond the answers to your questions are you will change the dynamic but you won't ruin it, yes middle child syndrome exists (my sister has it in SPADES) but I think if you pay the middle child extra special attention you should avoid it (and it doesn't always seem to kick in in every family so that's proof!) - as for the others you will cope!

Hi! I'm TTC baby #3 My temps have been 97.7 almost every day since ovulation. Yesterday it dropped to 97.3 (8 dpo)and today it is back up to 97.8 Does this sound like an implantation dip??? PLEASE can anyone help!!

Hi, I'd like to join! We've been TTC since March this year, and I had a m/c at seven weeks in the summer, and nothing since. I've just realised that I am going to be very disappointed if I'm not pregnant by Christmas, and I don't think I will be.

Sorry, whitedaisy, I don't know anything about temping, but I wish you good luck!

Whitedaisy I temped with both my first two pregnancies but am not bothering this time as it stresses dh out too much. I just had a run of higher temperatures with no dips. I've never heard of an implantation dip - if your temps have all been high since you ov'd why don't you just write it off as a blip. Good luck!

Thanks! I'll just have to stick it out like everyone else. This 2WW lasts forever but when you go on holiday for 2 weeks it flys by! Maybe I will take up basket weaving or paint by numbers while I'm waiting!

Hi belgo If you have only been trying since March and you got pregnant in the summer then you are doing -fantastic- you are obviously very fertile, and you know that you can get pregnant. It will happen again and the chances of you misscarrying again are slim. I TTC for 10 years before finally going for treatment and then it took me 18 mths. I've got two lovely boys now. Keep trying, and stop fretting, you'll get there in the end, I know it's hard to imagine when you're so desperate to conceive but you will get there. Good luck! I'll be thinking of you. X

thank you whitedaisy, I hadn't realised how easy it is to get stressed out about TTC, and know I'm finding myself very stressed out about it, which of course won't help with TTC

Wow 10 years TTC - I'm glad you've finally got your two boys

I had to have high doses of hormone treatment. That was 6 yrs ago.
When I went to the hospital this time, they did all the tests again and said that everything was normal! They said that sometimes your body just rights itself. I couldn't believe it. Thats why I'm on a made mission also to get pregnant.

whitedaisy --you've certainly put the nine months I've been TTC into perspective!

thank you for sharing your story

Your welcome. Hope you are a Mummy very, very soon! X

We are considering trying for number 3 after Christmas. DS1 is 3 yrs 8 months and DS2 is 1 on 18th Dec. We did plan to wait until at least one was in school but I kind of want to get my last pregnancy out of the way and get my body back LOL! I'm only 25 and figure it'll be easier to look after 3 at this age (no offence to anyone else LOL). This is also my last chance for a girl. I'm a bit worried though because I had PND after DS2 (and MIL reckons I had it after DS1 as well) and DS2 has had numerous health problems. He's got Kidney reflux, lactose intolerence, asthma, suspected coliac, and cleft palate....I'm also on the Implant so will need to have that removed first...

welcome haribosmum - my first two girls were just 18 months apart, it's hard work but worth it

I am 24, will be 25 in June, I didn't think of that one - it being maybe a bit easier running about sfter 3 while I am still relatively young! LOL
I deffo want my kids early so I will still be of an age to really enjoy life once they have flown the nest!
I will go for one more, and if another boy I will still be happy with my lot - I know how to look after boys and all the gear now, won't need to shell out on pink!
I would go for 4 but DH is having none of it and we really do not have the room for 4!!
My coil is out anyway.....
