Hi ladies
I thought I should join and start getting involved in the forums. I have been pretty much stalking bnb for about two months now and have found some very helpful advice and have enjoyed seeing the support you have for one another. :hugs:

As for me, DH has finally agreed to TTC my dream baby #3. My DS is almost 12yrs and DD is 9yrs. I have always wanted three but I suffered very bad depression and anxiety after DD. this was a big concern for us in going again but I feel more confident and secure now and I am more focused on a positive future (and a :bfp: hopefully not too far away!)

This is my second month TTC after having mirena iud removed at end of October. I had a chemical last month but I didn't think my chances of conceiving were that great with what I have read about the mirena does to your lining. Dr said to wait at least one good cycle and then try...

Sorry if I tend to go on a bit but I feel like talking as we have decided to keep this a secret until I pass the first trimester for a couple of reasons...one is that we don't want to tell the kids just in case all does not go well, and the other is that I really do not want to hear the negative comments from friends and even family such as "why do you want to go again after such a long break?" or "but you have one of each you should be happy with that!" and even "again at your age?" :shrug: some people just do not understand!
TTC is stressful enough without having others say things to upset or put more pressure on you.

Anyway this cycle has been weird! I guess my body may still be adjusting after 2yrs of mirena and no AF! My last AF was 3rd of this month. Last cycle was 28 days and this past Monday I had ov pains on the right, neg opk though but then Tuesday had a very small amount of ewcm so we bd that night. No ewcm next day. I thought all was good but then last night I had really bad ov pains on the left, a positive opk and tons of ewcm. DH was too tired last night so we bd this morning. hopefully that will do the job! FX

So tww starts now! I am already so impatient and know that I will be symptom spotting like crazy! And with my new obsession to poas I'm not sure how I will last! Have decided to test on new years day to hopefully have the best start to 2013 ever!

To anyone who has lasted reading this I wish you all the very very best of luck and tons of :dust:
 
Hi Bubba Cub

We are TTC #5! Only my sister knows for all the reasons you mentioned above. This will be our first child together. I'm hoping to test at roughly the same time.
Good luck am kmfx for us both.
 
Hi weebubba
It is a shame that something so exciting and special to us should be the subject of criticism to others. Especially when it has nothing to do with them they still feel like they should have a say in your decisions!
All the best for number 5. Hopefully we will both be lucky and have the best start to the new year.
 
Welcome Bubba Cub!! Hopefully you get your dream baby soon. I'm 35 and pregnant with my 4th. Best of luck to you!!!
 
Hey Bubba cub, any news for this cycle? Am keeping my fingers crossed for you as this will hopefully be me in a years time trying for number three....xx
 
Hi jenster
Well today at 11dpo I got my bfp! Still in shock, I have wanted this for so many years and it still hasn't sunk in that it's real! I keep going to the loo expecting to see AF but then find myself reminding me that she has been banished for another 8 months at least.

Best of luck to you I hope your dream comes true too when the time comes.
Congratulations also on the birth of your little princess
 
Hi ladies, I am TTC number 3.

My boys are 9 in June and 7 in Feb. I mc in 2011 :(

I will be 35 early Feb and have one friend who always tells me to hurry up because after that it will so much harder :(

i already know that i will be a high risk as they call it as i had high BP when i was preg with DS2.

I see a BP specialist and he says i will be on asprin or some other drug from early on. That does not worry me as i have full faith in the Dr.

I am waiting to find out if its a BFP at the moment..

I spotted 3 days ago and then nothing!! lots of cramps and sore boobs thats all.

Look fwd to chatting with you all

OMG Bubba Cub! I'm soooooo pleased for you. When you said your OH finally agreed to trying for no 3, did he not initially want another? I think I've got a bit of convincing to do with my OH.....lol.....

Please keep us informed on how things go......:hugs:
 
Originally he thought two was enough and especially because we had one of each:oneofeach: but he really didn't know just how much the third meant to me. Ever since my childhood I have always wanted three, don't know where the number comes from but I said to him some women just want one, some want heaps, I think you know when your body is done with baby making, I knew straight after DD that I wasn't finished yet. He was all for another baby and said that it would be great but was more concerned at our ages and worried about birth defects, etc, but I said that every life deserves a chance.

Have spent the past seven years at least trying to sway him (the kids have also tried to convince him as they want a baby brother! DS has wished Every birthday candle for at least 8 years) but it only really became more serious from June, finally become a reality to ttc in October when he said that I should get the mirena taken out, I was in shock I thought he would never agree and I kept saying seriously are you sure?! :saywhat:

Past two months I have kept thinking that he will back out of it but has actually gotten excited about it. He was so happy when I told him the news yesterday. I still can't believe it myself, something I have wanted for so many years and it's finally happened but I still feel that it's a dream and not real. :cloud9:

It may take a lot of convincing but if it's meant to be it will be.
Best of luck, if you need any advice I will be happy to help. :hugs:
 
Hahn. Thanks bubba cub, you're an angel and have given me hope. I also knew after this little girl I'd like another....

I'll start planting the seeds in his brain!

Xx
 
Hello ladies,

I started reading this thread because I'm 37 yo and TTC#3.
It was a pleasure for me to see that you are already pregnant, Bubba Cub! :happydance: Congratulations and happy and healthy pregnancy to you!:flower:

We have decided to keep secret for the same reasons... We live far from our family and we might be able to keep it even longer than first trimester. (when and if pregnancy happens...)

Good luck to all of you!
 
Hi NR3

I really hope your dream comes true soon too :dust:

Best of luck :flower:
 
Hi NR3

I'm looking for a buddy to journey with. I am ttc #4...haven't officially started yet but will soon. Seems like most of the groups are for those ttc#1 which I totally understand and want to respect that. We had a long journey w/infertility so I've been there :)

Not sure if you were just popping on to say hi or if you're looking or a group but thought I would say hi and good luck :)
