re: TTC #3

Thanks mama!

Cool. I went off the cervical fluid as to when I was ovulating. Worked well the last two times so hoping it does this time too   another week and a bit to find out...

Yeah I think my surge will be tomorrow, but we did it monday and tuesday so we are done...trying to get some pink in our lives. If not, we love blue too!

Man, when you want something so bad it drives you nuts..haha.

Yeah I reckon. we're keeping it a secret from everyone that we're trying so we can surprise them. trouble with that is I can't talk to anyone about it! I'm trying to not think about it seeing as I have to wait a week and a half til my period's due. Could test in a week maybe but will wait til it's due. Once we know I'm pregnant, we're going to try and hide it, to see how long we can keep it a secret for. We're both terrible at keeping exciting news to ourselves, so we'll see how we go. I'd love to be able to get to 15wks or something before people guess. I'm doing heaps of abs work every night and lost 3kg (and a boob size!), to try and make weight gain a bit less noticeable. I've had two girls already, but hopefully with all these sit-ups and crunches etc I won't show too early   R u going to tell people straight away?

We are going to try and wait until Christmas if we would get a BFP. Just because we thought it would be fun. We are not good at keeping secrets and the family is so nosey..haha. Also, I dont' want to know the sex of the next one either, hubby and I are arguing about it. That'll kill the family, but I just want to be surprised since it may be my last. I think I am hitting my LH surge tonight, I took an OPK this afternoon and it was almost positive. It's hard not to BD, but we are trying for the girl..lol If we do it tonight, I know we will conceive and it'll be a boy. We just want to see if the Shettlers Method works, even though we don't care either way.

Are you hoping for a boy?

We're not fussed. If I got to pick, I'd pick another girl. If dave picked he'd pick a boy. I'm actually praying for identical twin girls!! Sounds like a long-sot I know, but my friend prayed for twins and got them. Either way, whatever we get we'll be happy  
Is Shettlers Method when you have sex earlier for a girl and later for a boy? I'd agree with that method. With both our girls we started having sex about 5 days before ovulation and kept trying til 24 hrs afterwards. And we got girls both times, so it makes sense I think if girl spermies were already waiting for the egg before the boy spermies got there   Are you wanting a girl?

Quoting Court6382:“ Thanks! Hoping for the little girl also! Mine will be a surprise as well and most importantly wanting a healthy baby!”

Aww very cool mama, cant wait to hear updates=]

We would love to have a little girl to complete our family. It's always open for 4 children, which is always what we wanted to have. My hubby really wants daddy's girl.

Cute   Unless we have twins or something, we'll be stopping at number 3!  

Yeah we aren't sure yet when we will stop. So hard to imagine not having anymore children.

Quoting Court6382:“ Yeah we aren't sure yet when we will stop. So hard to imagine not having anymore children.”

Yeah I know!! Do you ever think, "But if we don't have another one, that's a whole another little person that we're not going to get to meet, just because we can't be bothered having another one!"? I think that and then I'm like, yeah let's have another one! It'll be interesting to see how we go with the next one, because my last one was 6wks early (they didn't know why), and I had bad post-natal depression. I'm really hoping and praying those two things don't happen this time around!
It's been a week now since we were "trying", and a week before AF is due. Getting close to when a test would work, but it won't yet. I know my body knows if it's pregnant or not, and I want to know too! Like if i am, yay!! But if I'm not, then at least I'll know, I can stop hoping, and just accept that we'll be trying again in a few weeks. It's annoying that cycles are monthly, cos if we're not pregnant this time, it's a whole 4 weeks later next year that i'll be due...
