anyone else ttc number 3??

[Ilovebeingamummy]

I have 3.2 yr old dd, 18mth ds, on CD2 ttc number 3. Am feeling like AF is going to feeling like it takes forever this month!

Just curious on other age gaps and all things re: number 3!

thanks insy, after posting the question i saw one on the other thread about lp. Now i am in a panic thinking i may have a short lp. if af arrives next weekend i am in trouble!! but last month my lp was about 10/11 days which someone said was ok and you lp should be the same each month?? just another thing to worry about?

Hi Spats- just replied to you on another thread but thought I'd say hello here too and send you a hug, sounds like you are finding things a bit tough wondering what on earth your body is up to this month.
Just wanted to say I kind of know where you're coming from- with both my DCs like you I conceived straightaway (almost as soon as we thought about getting pregnant) and so never even thought about my cycle etc. Now in the 4th month of properly trying (and 5th month since came off pill) I have to say I too am finding it tough (and have a renewed respect for those long-time TTCers), and in a way I'm beginning to look for reasons why it's harder this time (and being silly and wondering if it's a sign to stop at 2!!). But deep down I think I know there are 2 possible causes for it taking longer- lack of opportunity to BD, due to DD not sleeping well, illnesses etc. and possibly stress too. So I'm now resolving to try to be patient and not think about TTC anymore, just go with the flow etc. And not going to try to time BD either to certain days- I've never used OPKs or anything but tend to believe I want to BD more often during my fertile period anyhow! so going to rely on my instincts and just let what'll be be... (hmmm easier said than done!)

2 friends recently told me they're pregnant with their 3rd children, and I had really wanted my next DC to be in the same school year as they'd be going to the same school, but doubt that'll happen now (over here the school enrolment runs July-July, and I'm out for a July baby). But there's nothing more I can do so just got to let go I guess!

Hope you are all doing ok & Good Luck! Baby dust to all xxxx

madmarried, that was so spooky reading your post as it was like reading my life!! i to have a friend who is due this month and keep thinking if i get this month or possibly next they will be in the same year - stupid as it puts pressure on you and stress which doesn't help. I also assume i am ovulating mi9d month as i am (shall we put it) more frinedly towards my DH. We joke about it being the 2nd week when he knows i am up for it and then the 3rd week , basically, he can leave me alone as i really don't want him near me This is also my 4th month of ttc Where are you in the cycle? I am really not sure when af due now due to weird ovulation. I was expecting it at weekend if it had been normal cycle. Now i really hope it doesn't come until at least mon/tues for it to be a normal lp. boobs felt a bit heavy this morning which is possibly as pmt sign which is worrying as it means af could be here on weekend.
