anyone else mad enough to be TTC no.4??

[Nemoandthefishes]

I have a ds who is 5 next month, dd1 is 2.10yrs and dd2 is 20mths[as of yesterday]
This is first full month TTC no.4 and Af just finished a couple of days ago

Hi Nemo! [waves from wagon]. Yes I'm ttc number 4 after mmc in July at 10 weeks. It's my first cycle of ttc (cd 21) though not much chance this month as dh away during fertile time . I have 3 dds, age 7, 6 in Nov, and 3 in Nov . Will be interesting to see how many of us there are out there!

hi diege
typical for your dh to have been away

cor blimey nemo!! can you have this one at ormskirk please

diege, sorry to hear of your MMC. and thakns for facebook message, tried to add you but kept crashing

Thanks LULU . Came as a bit of a shock after 3 healthy pregnancies, but feeling much better now and looking to the future . Def fancy the idea of a doula next time though (funds don't run to Independent midwife which would be first choice)so get ready with your list of Warrington ones!
NEMO - I know, sod's law . Want to keep things low-stress though, and am happy if it takes a few months so that I can get myself into tip-top shape.

Heading I hope for No four! Have two close together age DD8 and DS 6 and after years of fertility treatment.. and was delighted and finished!...then by complete surprise had DD who is 22 months so am now TTC#4 as don't want baba on her own so CD31 C5 so yes think we're all mad but here goes

Hi Irish! Same thinking here: dds 1&2 16 months apart, and wanting to even things up for no.4

Hi Diege
Good luck.......feeling excited at the prospect of another baby as I know it will be my last! so hoping that this month will be the month...AF due Fri so fingers crossed

Good luck Irish - also my last baby (though I swore no.3 was)

Best of luck Nemo go for it

I said DD3 was definitely my last but now I'm not so sure (I am crazy she's not evern 8 weeks)

Can I join? I have 2ds's aged 9 and 3 and a dd aged 11. Had a CP in march (unplanned pg) and then decided 3 wasn't enough after all!

Had an mc in July so hoping 3rd time lucky for me - on 2nd cycle ttc after the mc. I think I probably am mad esp given that I am 41 but keeping on trying for now!

Yep.... join me up too!! I have DS who is just 4, DS who is just 2 and DD who is 10 months.. and I'm now just about ready (ish) to try for number 4 eeek. That will be 4 dear children aged 5 and under.. I must be insane! I'm still bfeeding my youngest though so as yet, no cycle to try with but I'm dropping feeds now to try and trigger ovulation. (can you tell i've done this before?!)

Ooh me too, have ds1 10 and dds 8 and 4.

First month af due on the 15th sept.
3 dc from first marriage,
this will be dp's first dc

Wow there's loads of us . I think we need a list of some sort so we can keep track of when each of us is testing etc...
Maybe NEMO would like to start one??

lol diege hijack away am never very good with lists..also looks like we dont live very far from each other as am in liverpool literally at end of m62!!

lulu dont tell dh yet as he might get scared but am considering a homebirth if this is going to be my last..lol

SK not mad at all I always knew I wanted more..

Jemi you are like me then as my eldest is 5 next month and only starts school this week

Hi Nemo - yes, not too far away at all . I commuted for several years to Liverpool, and lived there too, so very familiar with the area. LOL at lists - I'm like that too, so will start off the list and then others can add as appropriate

roquefortlover 41, dd 11, ds1 9, ds2 3 TTC no. 4 cycle 2 after m/c. cd 10

I feel old now looking at these stats!!

Roq, you are not old (though must say it's good not to be the only late 30s/early 40s one ).
SHUSH, af is due on Sunday, so we're due around the same time. I'm going to test on Sat, but as dh was awy cd 13-17 I really don't hold out much hope for this month! Managed cd 10, 12, 17, 19, 22, but would be very lucky!

Diege thanks for your comfort on my advancing age.

When do you normally ov? ( sorry just thought this is an amazingly personal question but Mumsnet makes you ask things like that I find wehn I never would in RL) I have a fairly regular cycle and twice when I have conceived it has usually been in months when dh was away and I thought we had done the deed too early. So you could well still be lucky this month!

Nemo looks like we are cycle buddies altho obviously you have youth on your side!

Hi Roq, I normally ovulate day 13/14, but after mmc in July I've only had one proper period so who knows!! It could be that I didn't ovulate at all this month as I didn't have a full day of EWM, just bits here and there . Just hoping for af to turn up on time, so that I can plan things better for next month!

roque..lol may be younger but believe me I feel anything but youthful

hope everyone is ok today I am full of cold so feel naff..still grabbing dh every other day though He keeps telling me knowing his luck I am already pg and he will only get one month of trying..pmsl
