ttc #3 buddies wanted

[mouse_chicky]

Anyone else ttc#3?
Currently, I'm on 7th cycle, which has stretched over a year because we've been off and on. If I don't conceive this month, I'll start 50 mg of clomid.
My story briefly: I have a bright and funny 4 year old dd who is about to turn 5 and who is the light of my life. We conceived her on our 3rd cycle trying every other day before I knew the whole world ot opks, cervical mucas, etc. When she was 6 months old, I knew I wanted another baby. We tried and tried, and I grew accustomed to temping and using opks. I eventually went on femara and conceived the 2nd month. That pregnancy sadly ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks. We were devastated but continued on with what life had in store. Four month later, we conceived my son who is now 2 years old. I can't believe that! He is a sensitive and loving, little monkey.
So here we are. I never dreamed of wanting 3 kids. Heck, I originally didn't want any. But I feel my family's not quite complete yet.

Please join me! I'm not crazy, I promise,
I am on CD 14. I figure I'll ovulate in a week or so.

Hey! #3 for me as well!

 

[mouse_chicky]

Hi x amour! Welcome!

 

[Isme]

Working on #3 over here, too. (Going on 10-ish months now.)

Currently on CD11, but I have no idea when I will ovulate. I had been ovulating later since TTC. It was most likely because I tried to change a bunch of things up in order to "fix" myself. Last cycle I decided to do what I'd done before TTC, and I ended up ovulating on CD11 or CD12. I did pretty much the same thing this cycle hoping for another earlier ovulation (as ovulating on CD22-26 kind of sucks), but I'm not seeing a fade-in pattern on my OPKs yet, and no EWCM yet either. Ugh. I guess that cycle was just a fluke. Oh well. I got pregnant with a chemical after ovulating around CD20 back in June, so I know it is possible. I just hate that every long cycle wastes more of my precious fertile time; and I'm worried about the miscarriage rates associated with late ovulation. :-/

In any case, I hope we all get our BFPs soon.

#3 for me too! I'll be your buddy!

 

[ttc bubby no2]

I'm ttc#3 too. We have been trying since last Feb so about to clock over the 1 year mark. We did conceive last year but I miscarried.

I'm about to go into cycle 9 as I can tell AF is on the way On a positive note I will start clomid this coming cycle so hopefully it gets me that BFP. I have long cycles which make ttc extra frustrating.

 

[mel102]

We are going to be trying for number 3 from next month was waiting until March but can't wait that long

 

[mouse_chicky]

Hi Isme! I know what you mean with long cycles. It is frustrating to wait so long to O. (Mine is usually CD21-23.) I'd never heard that late ovulation conception had a higher rate of miscarriage.
Hi snowbunnie and ttc buddy no2! It seems that most of us have been on this journey for a while, losses and all.
Hi mel102! Hopefully you'll have quick success!

Good luck and baby ladies! Nice to meet you all!

 

[Tasha S.]

Joining!!

This is my 2nd cycle TTC #3! I'll admit, I swing from REALLY wanting another one, to thinking I'm crazy and wanting to hold off for a bit. Mainly because postpartum is oh-so-hard for me. My hands break out in horrible hydrotic eczema--which really shouldn't be called eczema. It's more like open blisters and disfiguring swelling. It lasts for up to a year postpartum, and usually only leaves after I stop breastfeeding. My hands JUST cleared up after my DS, so I can touch things painlessly!

I'm a temping fanatic, so I figure I'll put some chances on my side of conceiving. I'll probably DTD until about 2 days before O, and then hold off until after O.

Snowbunnie: I guess we'll move over to this thread!

xamour: So happy to see you on this thread!

Any other ladies temping?!

[Pridey]

Hiya also ttc number 3 good luck xx

 

[mouse_chicky]

Hi Tasha and Pridey! Welcome!
Yeah, logic and the heart have been warring about having a third lo. Logic says are you crazy! Do you really want to be outnumbered? Then, there's the heart . . .
I try to temp but my 2 year old crawls into our bed a lot, and often the thermometer is missing in the morning.

 

[ttc bubby no2]

Well turns out AF isn't on it's way as I got a BFP this morning! Tomorrow would have been 12 months of ttc. I have a good feeling about this one but still trying to be realistic that it could end in m/c again.

Good luck everyone!!

 

[Tasha S.]

Yayyyy!!!!!! Our first bfp!!! Huge congrats ttc!!!!!!

 

[mouse_chicky]

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

I know it's nervewracking when you've had losses in the past, but try to stay positive and enjoy every moment of this precious miracle inside you.

I'll start a BFP list on the opening post, and if everyone wants, I can do a list for test dates too, although I don't think anyone's at that point in the cycle yet.
Wishing everyone super power and baby !!!

What CD are all you ladies on?

I'm on CD 6! Last cycle was my first postpartum, and it was 28 days long! I used to have 35 day cycles! I O'd on CD 14 (I always O'd around CD 20 previously.), so we'll see how this cycle goes! I'm going to try to sway for a girl, so I'm going to try to stop dtd 2 days before O!

 

[mouse_chicky]

Hey Tasha! I was wondering if you were swaying for a girl when you first said you were going to dtd 2 days before O. Good luck getting your !

CD 17 for me: o will probably being this weekend---when I'll be at my in-laws for dd's birthday party. This seems to happen, lol.

 

[mommapowers32]

ttc #3 here as well !! Our ds was made during an off cycle i was using opks to avoid getting pregnant because i got off bc it was making me crazy and my endo horrible. I thought that I had O'd and knew the AF was about to show so we dtd..... well .... I ACTUALLY O'd when AF was suppose to show and our beautiful little surprise!! We were told that I would probably never have kids !! WE SHOWED THEM! HA!

#2 is my crazy funny little girl!! She was made after 3 cycles of TTC and Temping. I am currently on TTC cycle one just got my ijmplant removed this month ready for this wild ride!

 

[mouse_chicky]

Hi mommapowers32! Good luck on your journey!

I have endo as well and am familiar with the risk of being off bc; the main reason for me why temp and use opks instead of ntnp.

That is so neat how your first lo was a surprise!
