Now that we have 2 DDs, we're on the fence as to whether or not to have a 3rd - a place I never expected to be in!</p> <p>Background: DD1 just turned 4, DD2 is 7.5 months. They're 3.5 years apart in age. It took 3 IUIs for DD#1 after 2ish years TTC, had a loss after 4ish months TTC (I think that's how long it took), then pregnant without RE for DD#2 (so 3rd pregnancy). Both pregnancies were manageable - dare I say, even good/easy? With DD1 I had bad carpal tunnel and summer weather swelling. With DD2 just back aches really. She also came in a hurry.</p> <p>DH will be 40 this year, I'll be 36. We just bought our forever home with 4 bedrooms. Currently DD1 and 2 have their own rooms but could easily share. Or have their own if we converted the guest room into a kids room. DH works out of the house, I work at home slash out of the house (as in I have a remote job). Daycare is .5 miles away. DD1 will be heading to kindergarten in one year (2020). We already feel like we need a bigger car for the two of them. Neither family is nearby - we're in NY, my in-laws are in the mid-west and my parents split between summers in New England and winters out west (where my sister is). So we might be looking at one plane trip for all of us a year rotating the locations? We have a summer home we drive to frequently. We also love to travel and would like to get back to that one day (thinking of costs for plane tickets, etc.). And student loans set to be paid off in 2022 or 2023.</p> <p>I'm just so torn. We're getting rid of maternity clothes, baby items, etc. and I asked DH if we were definitely done. I expected him to be like yup this is it and he said he was on the fence as well. I suggested waiting until DD2 is one (in December) and he was like what's now versus four months from now lol. So I don't know... Do we just throw caution to the wind and let whatever happens happen? AF isn't even back yet because I'm EBF... GAH!! I know I'm not the only one who has been in this position... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fever-3#post-2878258 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 13:43:17 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2878258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have more baby fever now, wanting my third, than I ever had before. I’ve always had it, but it’s so strong this time. Maybe because I’m 40 and the chances are slimmer? I don’t know. But, I’m super hopeful and want so badly for it to happen via BD instead of IUI and injections this time. </p> <p>Just wanted to throw that out there. Nobody IRL knows we’re trying, so you ladies are all I’ve got for support! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-possible-to-get-a-negative-pregnancy-test-while-bf#post-2886851 Wed, 05 Jun 2019 17:09:19 +0000 MsBAM 2886851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all, my period is 4 days late and have been TTC. Has anyone had a negative pregnancy test while BF or am I most likely just late? I already took two tests that were negative. Anyone take a while to get a + test just in general even if you weren’t BF’ing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-want-to-tweak-this-for-me#post-2882813 Wed, 01 May 2019 14:51:46 +0000 Blessedmess 2882813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have line eyes.

I'm new to this board and wanted to find out how many bees are currently NTNP?

I think that kind of significant one-sided-ness is odd! So.... are my estimates right? What do you think about this?</p> <p>And my poll is about the majority of the discussion / marriage, not the end result. </p> <p>PS: sorry about the heteronormative nature of the post, but it was kind of inherent in my question! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mourning-the-3rd-well-probably-never-have#post-2844450 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 09:08:55 +0000 snowjewelz 2844450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there are always threads debating a 3rd (or more), and so many moms are on the fence about it. </p> <p>I've always known we're probably 2 and through. Mostly realistic factors - DH is 40+, my mom's getting older and harder for her to help out, prolonging daycare bills is tough on us (we don't have universal upk, and girls still need aftercare/summer camp, etc). </p> <p>I had given myself a deadline that if we don't decide and try to get pregnant by Jan, we're done. It's pretty arbitrary, but I said I don't want to give birth after I turn 35. It's not even so much that; I just need a deadline so we can move on and stop thinking/half planning for it. We're not taking any permanent measures so never say never of course, but I really do believe to live our best lives, 2 amazing girls is enough for us. </p> <p>Of course EVERYONE around me since this summer has had a baby (even twins), and we even gained another niece. So my baby fever has been RAGING nonstop! I just really needed to get this out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-lo-2-years-apart-or-3-years-apart#post-2836612 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 10:49:30 +0000 MsBAM 2836612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi!! </p> <p>So we are thinking of TTC soon, maybe in a couple months Currently have a 14mo. They would be two years apart if I got pregnant right away and it worked out. I think that would be nice to have them close in age. But I also think it will be a lot more work bc by the time the baby is born, LO would be starting potty training and I want to BF #2 so I don’t know how hard that will be. If they’re three years apart, LO can help with small tasks so it might be easier but then they might not be as close. Also we were thinking of having them closer together just to get those stages done with since we’re already going through it now. What are the pros and cons of both? Do you feel like it was better for you to have them close together or further apart? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ready-to-ttc-2-but-want-a-new-job#post-2836324 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 20:00:03 +0000 MsBAM 2836324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all! </p> <p>So DH and I have decided we are probably ready to TTC number 2 in a few months. I returned to work from mat leave a few months ago. I have a permanent job I’ve been at for years. I’ve been wanting a new job and applying for new jobs since I was on mat leave. Here’s the dilemma: there’s currently a place I want to apply at that’s hiring a one year contract (this is the way this place hires, you do your time on contract then eventually get permanent). If I got this job, this could throw off our plans to TTC. I’m worried if I got hired then went on mat leave after the contract finishes that they might not hire me back. So would you apply for the job anyways and still TTC during the contract? Would you stay at your permanent job and TTC then find a new job after mat leave? Or would you take the risk if it’s a job you really want and continue plans of TTC? It would be nice to have LO’s close in age.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-know-you-want-another-baby-but-partner-does-not#post-2806739 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 14:20:25 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2806739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We JUST had our second daughter on Saturday. She has already brought so much joy and love to our lives. I know for sure that I want one more baby to complete our family. My DH says absolutely not due to our age (I’m 39, he’s 40) and finances. He didn’t think he wanted a 2nd either, but here we are and he’s very happy that we did. Do you think I should push the issue or just let things happen if they happen? I’m not planning on going on birth control. But, I’ll breastfeed as long as baby wants to, so probably won’t ovulate for a year or so anyway. I didn’t ovulate with my first until 18 months. We did have to use fertility drugs and IUI for both girls. So, I’m just thinking if it happens naturally, it was meant to be. Anyway, is anyone else in the same situation? Or have you been there in the past? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bucket-list-before-ttc-2#post-2807627 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 20:07:51 +0000 SweetCaroline 2807627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to start TTC for #2 in June 2018. What things were on your list to accomplish before you tried for #2? Or...maybe you didn't have a list?!</p> <p>Mine Are:<br /> -Lose 20 pounds<br /> -Finally start pelvic floor PT<br /> -Do a serious declutter<br /> -Stock the freezer for DH &amp; DD (had serious MS the first time)</p> <p>- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/illogical-baby-fever#post-2803879 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 10:03:13 +0000 MrsGeePerez 2803879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi bees. I'm here because you all give such wonderful advice and I'm hoping you can share your experiences going from one to two children... </p> <p>I have a 27 month old boy. Our first 20 months or so were incredibly challenging. I believe some babies are born with some extra "spice" and he is just full of it. He's also amazing and intelligent and full of magic and my husband and I love him so much. He has been high spirited since day one—from relentless colic as a newborn to a fussy infant that still hated sleep, didn't ever want to be held, to the toddler stage as fiercely independent early walker with a significant speech delay (which equated to tantrum city over here for almost a full year).</p> <p>But. Things are getting so much better. We have seen drastic improvement in his behavior over the last four months as he learns to communicate better. He is still very spirited, high-energy, stubborn and independent, so we still really have our hands full, but he's such a bright light and he's funny, sensitive, intuitive, and we are so proud of him. </p> <p>So here's my issue. My husband and I both feel like someone is missing from our family. We both are on the same page that if we followed our hearts, we would have another (I feel a bit more strongly about it than he does). But logically, we both agree we should not due to all the challenges we were faced with and how hard it was for us to make it through. How could we possibly go through all of that again? A rough pregnancy, traumatizing childbirth, extreme colic, no sleep for a year+, PPD for me (but who wouldn't have that from the constant screaming and no sleep), little help from family, etc, etc. Naturally, this "baby fever" feels totally irrational. </p> <p>Have any of you had a very difficult experience with your first but went on to have another, anyway? Have any of you decided not to have another because of it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/letting-go-and-ttc#post-2795669 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 17:42:51 +0000 chesamine 2795669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope everybody had a great time over the holidays and HAPPY 2018!</p> <p>Wow! I have not been on any of the boards since LO was born. This community has helped me a lot when we initially were TTC for our son. Now, baby fever has set in BIG TIME. </p> <p>LO is now 4yrs old and 2 mos. DH and I have talked to each other about having another one and when that would be. DH answered me at that time and said, "Now!" :grin: I would like to say it has probably been about a year now, or maybe a little less. </p> <p>I've had several "maybes" after being late for 4 days (at the most). But just like before, if I was late a certain month, rest assure I would be early the following. I'm in that frustrating stage again and I don't like it. A friend who is also currently TTC35+ said, "Who knew it was THIS hard to get pregnant after being told our lives to be careful about being pregnant?" I know right?! WHO KNEW!!! </p> <p>After over a year, DH and I tried out the SoftCup when TTC for LO and maybe within a couple of months, we got our BFP. I was so excited and even gave the rest of the cups in the box to a friend of mine. Within a couple of months, that friend also conceived using the SoftCups. This time around, we've started using them right away, but haven't been successful. It's a different type of frustration. It makes me think and ask myself, "Should we just not try or do we keep trying? We have LO right now; we should be happy with that." And yes, we are happy with LO. But both DH and I have several siblings and thought having a sibling for LO would be good/nice.</p> <p>I was folding laundry last night and noticed that LO still had 2T-3T clothes. So I had to fold them away and box them up ready for donation. I started to get REALLY emotional and every piece of clothing I folded reminded me of the little things LO did while wearing it; whether it was just running around the house or reaching a milestone. So the frustration kicked into high gear for sure as I thought to myself, "Aww wouldn't it be nice to have another one?" But sometimes I do think perhaps not; especially when I think of the stress and sleepless nights when LO is sick. I had pretty bad post-partum anxiety and thought, if I'm freaking out at the mere sound of a cough or a sight of runny nose; what business do I have having another one and would I be able to even handle it?</p> <p>Ugh, so many emotions!!! I hope I'm not the only TTC mom going through this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-sad-to-be-done#post-2792521 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 17:13:39 +0000 snowjewelz 2792521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had always been in the camp of 2 and done, like 95%, leaving 5% of life's surprises, haha. Recently my SIL announced she's expecting their 3rd, and I have 2 other friends due next year as well. </p> <p>It's a really mixed feeling... On one hand, our decision to be 2 &amp; done is being confirmed more &amp; more... On the other hand, I'm still sad that DD2 is our last baby! I think I've just been extra emotional with her turning 1 too! </p> <p>So there's really no point to this; I love my girls and am at peace with the decision to be done. Am I still allowed to be just a bit sad?! Obv the sadness is not even remotely enough to compel us to re-think but I know by next year I'll probably be getting bad baby fever again with all these newborns! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-kids-amp-2-woh-parents#post-2781906 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 11:06:39 +0000 polkaspots 2781906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two children and are considering a third because our family doesn’t feel complete.

According to my calendar, if we conceive, baby would be due the first week of January. Those of you with early January babies, does it bother you that your child's birthday is so close to the holidays? I love birthdays and would hate for my child to feel like they're missing out because their birthday is so close to all the other major holidays. I realize it's possible the baby could be late or we won't conceive the first month, but I've previously delivered at 38 and 39 weeks and both of our boys were conceived the first month of trying. Am I overthinking this? Should we just go for it? 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-done-1#post-2705470 Fri, 03 Mar 2017 09:47:18 +0000 bubblegum 2705470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mrs. Oatmeal posted on the blog about her family feeling complete and it got me thinking about everyone's thought process of their "complete family" and if they were done or not!</p> <p>Before ever meeting DH, I was firm in believing I wanted three children minimum! I was determine to never go below that number. Reason being that growing up it was just me and my sister, and although I had a brother and sister from my dad, I wasn't raised with them. Having it be just me and my sister as BORING. So three was my number or more!</p> <p>When I met DH, he's one of 6!! Needless to say he was all for having a big family. Blindly we decided on no less than 3 and no more than 5! I honestly laugh so hard when I think about us saying 5 kids was acceptable for us. Kudos to the families who can do but that's for sure not for us. But we didn't come to terms with that years later.</p> <p>1st kid; a boy. After labor I said no way I'm doing this 4 more times. Maybe three more times making a total of 4 kids. Well then DS grew up a bit and I was like oh no!!! 3 kids it is! It'll be perfect. Well after DS got even older and I was pregnant with baby number 2, we had already been through so many difficult (yet super wonderful) parenting challenges and we decided, 2 it is. </p> <p>So how did we get from 5 to 2...</p> <p>1. Care - daycares are out of control expensive here and I was not comfortable with the idea so finding someone we trusted to watch DS, IMPOSSIBLE! We're in a good situation now but it's only until I pop out DD.</p> <p>2. Outnumber - I has extremely involved in activities and thankfully my sister was not but my mom was a single mom and she would've been out number. I didn't want that to happen in my family.</p> <p>3. MONEY - let's be honest, unless there is a secret millionaire on here, money is hard to hold on to when you have kids. We love to vacation and the thought of having to taking x amount of kids was a littleeeee scary. 2 we can handle but more than that YIKES. Plus thinking about activities, clothes, food, things for just fun. It all adds up.</p> <p>4. Sleep - I need it. It's that simple. I won't be getting it until about 4-6 more years and then to start all over...no thanks. </p> <p>5. Dating DH - I miss dating my husband. I miss being able to go out with him kid free but I also hate leaving DS and soon DD with someone on the weekends because I miss them during the week. We do it from time to time but man will it be nice when the kids are older. </p> <p>NOW with that all being said I have to say, we have spoken about adopting a foster child in about 15 years or so and and older child if possible. We have a couple of reasons are to why foster care and why in the far future. </p> <p>Given all this can change but for now just 2 will do. </p> <p>Are you done? or not?! Why or why not?</p> <p>Just some Friday fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soon-but-when#post-2670981 Wed, 28 Dec 2016 15:24:41 +0000 LittleBook 2670981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello there! I was an avid reader/follower of Wedding Bee, so I suppose Hello Bee is the appropriate next obsession! My husband and I recently got married in May 2016, and are now starting to talk about TTC. I have MAJOR baby fever but whenever I ask my husband when he would like to start trying he responds with "soon." This is frustrating, but I don't know if I am fully ready yet either.. </p> <p>My question to y'all is, when did you know it was the right time to start trying? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-the-fever-right-now#post-2667902 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000 mediagirl 2667902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or are you deep in the stages of parenting that keep baby fever far, far away? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-dh-keep-changing-his-mind#post-2655106 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 08:57:27 +0000 DaniNae 2655106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your DH/SO keep changing his mind about another baby? </p> <p>How have you decided or come to an agreement about it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quadriphonic-chart-and-symptoms#post-2626121 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 22:02:36 +0000 humblestumble 2626121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, this is our fifth month trying to conceive. I have a strange looking chart. Trying not to get my hopes up, but everyone around me is pretty much telling me that I am pregnant. This just made it stranger. I know it is not technically "quadriphasic" if that is even a thing, but it's interesting, nonetheless.</p> <p>Attached is my FF chart and it shocked me today when my temps went up AGAIN. I'm only 8DPO, so I know anything is possible, but it is improbable that I have already had implantation - IF I am pregnant. I also find it odd that my temps are so flat this time. They were very rocky before. I always temp at the same day, every day. One day in the middle of the week, i tested my arm just to see if the thermometer was broken - stuck on one number, and NOPE! It works.</p> <p>The TWW is so difficult, right?! I usually don't know my period is coming until the DAY of it. I usually only have 11DPOs, so we'll see. I am not taking an early pregnancy test. (took one that wasn't an early test and it was negative. Go figure. That was dumb of me.) I plan to test on Sunday or Monday. </p> <p>My symptoms, which I am kind of hesitant to call signs at this point, but they ARE getting stronger:</p> <p>light headedness (HOWEVER - I have fainted a LOT in my life. Already talked to doctors about it. It's "normal" for me. The difference is that I haven't felt like this in a LONG time - and usually there are more unpleasant signs to go along with my fainting spells.)<br /> Strong smelling urine (TMI, but this was only one day and I had not eaten asparagus - just strange)<br /> hot flashes at night (I am always cold, especially at night. but my face has been flush for about 3 nights)<br /> No appetite, I don't feel like cooking. (I actually enjoy cooking and have been meal prepping for a while. Nothing seems appetizing to me, but I eat because I have to. Did I mention that I also love eating good tasting food usually? Lol, who doesn't?)<br /> I have been ravenously hungry at night - with no appetite. My stomach growls even after I have dinner. (I just think this is really strange, and WTF? I don't really want to have a second dinner. I am eating enough calories for myself.)<br /> Sore nipples - Have had sore nipples since O. I usually just have sore nipples (maybe) two days out of a cycle. I haven't had them in a few months. Nothing excruiciating, so I am just thinking I am "back on track"<br /> I had a pain on the side of my boob (really my rib cage - I have A cups, ok? LOL) one day. That has never happened to me. Could be anything though. Tight muscle perhaps?<br /> Mood swings - but I tend to have these pre and during AF. This time, it's already lasted 5 days instead of the usual 2.<br /> Okay, so also, I have acid reflux and headaches - two things I never get. I have had a sour stomach for two days and last night it was hard to sleep due to reflux feeling. The first night I felt that, I actually felt like I was going to have to go to the bathroom. VERY unexpected.<br /> Lost 3 pounds in a month - I am only 5'1" and started out this month at 115lbs. (Yes, I want to maintain and possibly get to 110 for my petite frame, but it took me MONTHS to go from 125 to 115. about .25-.5 pounds lost per month WITH effort. This month, I have been a bump on a log due to work and night school. Again, WTF? Eating about the same amount of food. I log my food in myfitnesspal.com everyday - for two years actually.)<br /> So, here I am wondering if I am just getting sick and my temperature is just rising and my body is doing weird things pre AF, or if this could be our month.</p> <p>My husband threw up twice today and he is NEVER sick. EVER. I don't think I have EVER known him to throw up in the 6 years I have known him. Then I read about some weird syndrome some men have when TTC, or when their wife is pregnant and they feel similar symptoms. Odd. I didn't believe it and then a few family members enthusiastically confirmed that men can get sick too. WTF?</p> <p>Just wanted to share all of this. I'm patiently waiting now for the weekend and curious about it all. I am not as excited or hopeful as when we first started TTC. I just keep track of every little "different" thing now. I've already had false hopes a couple of times, so now I'm just doubtful of everything and analyzing it. </p> <p>The thing that throws me off is everyone else telling me I am pregnant. I don't want to accept it. I thought I was before and was wrong. The minute I told people I was dizzy, 5 family members said "You're pregnant!" When I told my best friend my "symptoms," she also said it sounded like it. Ugh. Everytime something is different for me, I always think "but it could be due to something else." I talked to my boss today who had to try REALLY hard to conceive, and she said when she was pregnant with one of her kids, she noticed signs at 6DPO, but she had told me that my signs are really early. She was doubtful, but said I am not out yet. She advised to wait to test and see what happens.</p> <p>I'm a bit off topic... the TWW will do that, I suppose. Has anyone ever seen a quadriphasic temperature chart?</p> <p>[attach=7674/16/odxsgc.499x600.b_G3Ndxi.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-new-here#post-2651235 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 09:31:22 +0000 DaniNae 2651235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone! :happy: I am new here and just wanted to say hello and introduce myself! </p> <p>Me and the hubs have 3 kiddos, and have just decided to stop preventing and see what happens for #4.

I've gotten married and honeymooned, and now am officially t-minus 3 months out from ttc! SO excited and just can't wait. I don't know how I am going to make it through until October!</p> <p>When are you planning to ttc?<br /> How are you preparing?<br /> How is your significant other feeling?<br /> Any good pregnancy books you recommend to pass the time? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-done-having-kids-1#post-2603359 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 16:03:32 +0000 Bao 2603359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you still ever get baby fever? If so, how often? </p> <p>We are done having kids, but once every few months or so something will spark some baby fever in me. Most recently it was watching videos of my LO's as newborns. The feeling didn't last more than an hour though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-poas-a-reason-to-celebrate#post-2577443 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 07:37:01 +0000 Mrs. D 2577443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cycle Day:<br /> TTC Cycle:<br /> Ovulation Date:<br /> POAS Date:<br /> Baby #:<br /> What's up this month:<br /> For Fun - Summer Plans?: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovia-says-most-fertile-day-is-2-days-before-o#post-2583818 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 18:43:30 +0000 daniellemybelle 2583818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw that my highest fertility score was two days before ovulation when I thought it would be the day before or day of. I messaged Ovia and this is what they said:</p> <p>"You will usually see your highest fertility score (10) approximately two days before your predicted ovulation date. Reason being-is the closer you get to ovulation, the score will decrease since the egg will disintegrate after it is released if no sperm is present; your chances of conception are then not going to be as high."</p> <p>I've never heard this about the egg disintegrating like right away. In fact I've heard sperm can catch the egg on the way down the Fallopian tube a day or two after ovulation. What's the truth?</p> <p>I find it interesting that if you get a positive digital OPK and ovulate in the next 24 hours, and you try on those two days like OPKs tell you to, according to Ovia you have already missed your most fertile day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-the-fee-vah#post-2566696 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 19:00:00 +0000 regberadaisy 2566696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not. Zero. Zilch. No fever, whatsoever. Newborns are wonderfully sweet, adorable and squishy. But they no longer make my ovaries ache. :grin: </p>
