I am Stephanie, in June of this year we are TTC #4. We have two boys and a girl. I'm joining a little bit early to hopefully pass the time away quickly
Hi all! We are NFP and avoiding fertile days, but it looks like I got a positive OPK this month 3 days earlier than normal so I'm in the TWW.
IF I'm pregnant, this will be number 3.
How is everyone doing?
Hey all
I'm TTC number 3
This is my first cycle
how long did it take to ttc 1&2?
Good luck Aerith! Are you hoping for #3? When are you testing?
Donna it's hard, isn't it? Maybe ntnp? The hardest part i feel is the fact that you can't really change your mind later, depending on the age gap you want. For me i wanted 1&2 closer in age and it took a year which was really stressful. With 3 it was hard deciding because we were initially on the fence but felt time ticking! It's definitely helpful if you're not concerned about their age gap or, for me if we ever want a fourth, my OWN age!
I am pretty sure we're done though, largely due to finances. Good luck with what you decide!
Hi Shanelly
I'll probably start testing on the 7th. I think I'll be 10 dpo by then. That's usually when I pop on a test.
It's so hard and I really do feel done . We are really doing so much as a family now that I feel like I've not done in years. Just silly spontaneous things but things that are harder with a baby. And to be honest I like close age gaps as hard as it it . My have a 24 month age gap and then a 22. And it was hard but it got it all out the way lol. Cruz is 3 now he goes into reception next year and I finally feel like I've found a bit of the old me . We cant even really afford another.. the house is a 3 bed . Two share the other has their own room at the moment. Every thing says stop dont have no more. I'm 31. 32 in January and I always wanted to be done by now .. but then I still cant shake the feeling of being sad ill never have another baby. But I think that's it . I'll always be sad about no more pregnancy and no more scans etc .. meeting ur baby for the very first time .. I think its built into us .. and I get really really sick when pregnant and it's awful as well as looking after children.Good luck Aerith! Are you hoping for #3? When are you testing?

Hi Shanelly
You and me literally are the same !! I absolutely adore being pregnant I love having a bump after the sickness ends but I just love it . I love the excitement and your right nothing is like it . But then like u also said they are all temporary and babies grow up into hard work lol. Yup I say one more but what happens when after one more I still miss my bump etc.. we have to draw a line somewhere right.. yeh definitely it's so much easier now. I remember having Cruz thinking wow one day they'll be 7 5 and 3 and they are .. its flew by. How old are your boys .? But as much as I say all that and i really do mean it . I cant fully close the door because I just dont no what they future holds . I want to close the door and throw away the key lol . I really dont want to start over either . I had mine all close together so it was hard work for a good few years but now there is rarely any sleepless nights unless their poorly . No nappies. No bottles I can just get up and go out no needing a thousand things .. time will tell in suppose x
