  • Hello all, My name is Tracy. My husband and I have two amazing children, our oldest is ten years old, Colyan and our youngest is five, Mya. We recently decided to try for a third child. I am excited at the idea of becomming a mommy again, but at the same time so scared. I have been off my birth control pill for about 2 and a half to three weeks now, and don't really know how long it will take to conceive a child.
    I am really excited to be able to talk and share this same experience with others. If anyone has any helpful tips, please let me know. Thank you.

  • Our third child is 2 weeks old today:) we also have a 2 and a 4 year old. My third pregnancy was the most tiring but I am so glad to have our son!!
    It took us 3 months of trying before we were pregnant- good luck to both of you as you ttc #3:)

  • We're on month 7 of TTC #3.......or month 4, depending on when you start counting. LOL

    My last Depo shot was July 9. About a month before I had to go in for the next one we decided we wanted #3, so I cancelled it. Some say start counting from July, others say start counting from Sept. I'm counting from July. :)

  • All ladies who have husbands or SOs willing to go for #3 are very lucky. Every friend/relative who has a third (which there are four) is said to be "unintentional" with husband frowning (or a new man).

  • Anon- I do feel very lucky about number three. It did take convincing on my part. I wasn't manipulative or hurtful when trying to convince dh to try for a third. The biggest reasons I have were 1) in 20 years I'd truly regret never having a third child and 2) I deeply felt that I had another persons soul in me waiting to be born- it sounds crazy, but I really felt like my son was asking to be born.

    My husband kinda made fun of me about the soul thing, but since I never run around talking about souls and spirits and stuff like that I think he realized I was serious and truly wanted to have the baby. It still took him a few months to agree to ttc though:)

    Good luck to everyone ttc! (trying to conceive AND trying to convince)

  • Its true men cant deal with allot of stress and its a natural thing when you hv more children to hv the added stress. However a good man wont just look at that but more of all the happiness and joy a baby brings into the world. I hv always wanted 3 children and hubby was open as to how many he wanted. We are tryinng for our third and last baby and after that we will enjoy so much watching them all grow up

  • For four years hubby and I swore up one side and down the other that we were DONE! having kids. At the time we were also living in a death trap of a house. Black mold everywhere, no insulation, single pane windows, cracks in the front door big enough we could see sunlight streaming through, etc. A year and a half ago we moved out of there.

    Probably about the time I got my last Depo shot he and I got to thinking, on our own, that maybe we did want another child. Neither one of us said anything to the other though, until I suggested it as my next shot was coming up. I still think we're both crazy for wanting a third, but we both agree our family just isn't quite right yet.

    My son is 3.5 years older than my daughter, and she'll be 5 next month. I'll let you know the age gap between her and #3 as soon as that darn e.p.t. gives me a positive. :)
