TTC #4 - Join the madness... If you dare!!

[babyblue3]

Ok Ladies... new thread, since the old one was getting too long and dragging my computer (and Kat's) down with it!

MrsD - cant believe you are 30 weeks already! So you found that cutting out the lactose helps? It will be almost a week for me and I have noticed some improvement, but not a lot. Of course, he is still getting a milk-based formula supplement to the BFing. I am going to switch to a soy formula and see if it makes a difference as well. Until then... God give me strength!!! LOL

Lovin' the name change Kat!

I'm 13 weeks today but not readt to go public yet.... I've told close friends and some rellies but not the kids (too scared).

Hoping they just think I'm fat for awhile.

Just want to apologise for being so mememe on here recently, I am reading other people's posts but my head has been a shed. I'll be better from now on I promise :) and thanks for all your support it's been great.

Hello all :)

Just pokin my head in for a nosy

Kat - glad to hear things are going well for you. Good luck to you when you decide to go public. It cant get any worse than when we told people we were having #4!

Loopy- How are you feeling?

CanadaChick - Welcome. Do you have DCs already or are you trying for your 1st? What part of Canada are you from?

As for me... just trying to adjust to juggling 4 children and a full time job! I have been so tired. I am exhausted when I get home, so I basically do the very minimum of chores. That cant last! I need to get my bum in gear before my house falls into ruin! LOL

Hi to all the newbies and everyone I have missed!

Loopy - forgot to say I am delighted you have had good news and hopefully your pregnancy will go smoothly from now on!

BB - it is hard with 4 isn't it? I keep thinking I've forgotten about one of them or I'll feed 2 of them and forget about one mainly because one (DD2) is stupidly fussy! I have NO idea how I'll manage 5 aghhhh.

How is the TTCin going for the TTCers?

I went 'public' today. I'm still not shouting it from the rooftops but I told the kids and got a good reaction from the girls (DS just looked at me and went okayyyy).

Feel a bit better now anyway.

Kat /PPG not sure which one to use You must feel a little better now you have started telling people, at least it gets it out the way

I am staring to get a bit excited, thought I was going to miss the opportunity this month due to DH working away. However if everything goes to plan I should come into fertile days on Friday, and has luck would have it DH should be back Thursday night till Tuesday.

Everyone seems to have gone a little quite, hope your all ok.

Hey everyone - I'm not quiet, just not in a very interesting stage!

Though, I think that I'm going to be doing what you're doing this weekend, pinkclouds! I'm currently on cycle day 9 so am expecting ewcm within the next few days.

EWCM arrived in force today!

Had a sneaking suspicion it was on it's way yesterday so did a little SWI last night!

Good luck button enjoy the SWI.

Well I have no signs of ovulation yet, but just for good luck we are SWI every opportunity we get, not so easy with 3 DC around.

Hoping for some EWCM this week.

Right I'm getting slightly frustrated.
By my calculations I should have either ov'd or be in my fertile time. Have been SWI every night since Thursday!!! However no sign of ovulation. No EWCM.

I have had some watery CM (TMI). Do we think it's worth keeping SWI or should I give DH a rest.

By now I think I should be in the 2ww but who know

Hi all!

Been swi a lot but DH now away until Thursday so I think that's my lot for this cycle!

Unfortunately, as I don't think I've OV'd just yet, I also think it'll be a longer 2ww than normal

Pinkclouds - personally I'd carry on. I thought it was game over last cycle but turned into a 36 day cycle with OVing a week later than I expected! You never know and you'd kick yourself if it happened a few days after you'd given up! Go on, make DH's week!

Flying in, baby on lap, typing with one hand (left too lol). bb tomorrow to update and read replies. x

just POAS randomly to see what was going on as a felt totally lost in my cycle. I have +opk.

How long is this likely to last. Slightly gutted cause last night was the only night in a week we haven't been SWI. Is it worth it tonight or will the egg be gone now

Just to add i still haven't had any EWCM

Yeah bit of luck that I was bored this afternoon

Thank Loopy How are you doing?
Wonder if Hatty is ok haven't heard from her for a while.

Well that's me in the 2ww. Oh they joy hours of staring out the window trying not to think about it.

Was talking to mum today who seemed really excited at the prospect of having a newborn to cuddle again.

Well fingers crossed ladies

loopy I always feel sick until a week after I feel some movement. Hope your feeling better soon.

I'm fine feel very premenstrual this morning, and crampy. I have been reading some other threads and I think my Luteal Phase may be very short atm. I am sure this is just coming off the pill so will see what happens this month.

Should stop reading other threads maybe. I think it makes me more paranoid. Wouldn't you think after having 3dc I would be relaxed enough just let things take there course .

loopy

Ok I am currently trying to stay away from POAS. Im 10dpo (I think)cd31. This is when AF arrived last month.

Keep running to the loo to check but so far no spotting or sign of anything. I have sore nips (well in my head I do ) Nothing else!! Going to hold out till Thursday, that way I have left plenty of time for AF to show up.

I do have a first response in the draw, but would kick myself if I used that only for AF to show up this afternoon or tomorrow.

Hmmmm WAIT WAIT WAIT.

Faint BFP.

Will test again tomorrow morning but gutted. DH just lost his job.

I so wish I wasn't pg. You can never get those lovely finding out moments back again.

button this time last year my DH lost job. I thought my world had ended couldn't think, felt sick. It was one of the hardest times in both our lives. But a year on we are in a much happier and calmer place. I know it seems like the end of the world and nothing I say will make it any better, but you both will get through this and come out the other side.

It's so hard but you need to hold on to the good things.

Button congrats! But so sorry to hear about DH's job :(

How easy is it in his field to get another position?

When is your EDD?

Pink - everything crossed for you!

Loopy, so sorry you are still feeling sick! You poor thing, but glad it's going okay and hope you are getting some rest.

Waving to all as I am rushing off as have telephone interviews with some recruitment agencies this morning. My maternity contract I was due to stay working on until March next year ground to a halt a few weeks ago - as the woman on maternity leave decided to come back early. Which was a bit of a shock as they'd guaranteed me the work until March! But I think she is under financial pressure at home so is coming back earlier than she would have liked, she only had her DS at the end of August.

So our ttcing has definitely been on hold as we really need both incomes at the moment - DH has his biggest contract with the local council and who knows what will happen there with all the cutbacks. So I am thinking of you all but can't bring ourselves to ttc with all this massive financial uncertainty :(

Button I can imagine a little of how you must be feeling with DH's job :(

On a lighter note, DD3 had decided to start potty training herself at nearly 2 - am hoping she is a lot quicker than the twins who were nearly 3!

After promising myself no POAS I couldn't find my FR this morning. Then waited till late morning and used OPK (I know naughty) This was a positive. [Grin]

DH came back for lunch and found FR and straight away, no doubts BFP . Can't believe it
