Sorry ttc5. This is why I stopped tempting, I don't need anything more to obsess over. Fx for next month!

Thanks Jen xx I got some frer today should I bother?

It sucks how age becomes such a factor when ttc and rushing the clock. It's hard when they are so close together. there will be lots of benefits though as long as you really push for the kids to be kind to each other. I have lots of experience w/ kids close in age who aren't kind to each other at all and it's really tough. What are the ages? Are you going to add your kids into your signature at the bottom of your posts? I think you'll be surprised at how much your time and affection can spread but I know it's hard. I would never doubt how much you love your kids to feel free to vent. I went through my whole last pregnancy being fearful and the truth is, I'm scared to have another one now, for my time and stress and having a baby again. I know though after losing DS2 that I really want this and I would take back not wanting him if I could, but I have no doubt I'll still be pretty scared. If you really think you don't want anymore, I think it's worth considering not, but I know it's super complex and hard to say your not having anymore kids. GL and don't feel judged, we are all doing the best we can!
The thyroid sounds mostly genetic but we don't have any known history so I have no idea. The only thing that's changes was DS2's birth, and I went really hardcore on the IG diet. I have no idea if any of that catapulted the thyroid. The Dr. was surprised there was no family history that is known. I'm not sure about the iodine. waiting is so hard. I have to wait till the end of August to get my thyroid checked again. If I don't get a BFP by August, I'm going to go in for fertility too.

My girls are 5yrs and 13mths. I really like the 4 year gap. DD1 was in pre-school 3 days when DD2 was born and then primary school. So I had lots of one on one time with DD2. I have actually made the decision to not ttc anymore in the past and then I felt really bad for it and thought I know I will change my mind in 2 yers time and by then I will be over 40 and I will not be willing to risk it, for the health of the baby more so than the gender and then i changed my mind again. Biological clock sucks.

My understnading is that iodine (too much or too little) messes with your thyroid. In Oz there has been shortages of iodine in people's diet on and off, but it is very hard to measure and if too much it is bad and if not enough it is bad again so dr don't know what to advise. They do advise all women ttc to take i-folic (iodine + folate) supplement at least if they are not taking pre-natals. One more day to test results...

Layla - We've all gone through grumpy patches, it is highly possible your new found crabbiness is due to hormone changes or just swaying in general.

Thanks Lola

I hope it is just that and not thyroid. Will find out tomorrow. Most probably it is the full moon though I always get a bit grumpy the week before full moon. Btw 33 you are a baby x.

Hopefully your results are good and you can indeed blame the full moon!

You might be one of those people who are actually affected by ions then. Are you swaying using ions? Most people don't but we do try in little ways. I'm not sure I'm actually affected by them personally but it's worth a shot if I remember.

BFN in FRER test, 12 dpo. I really do not feel pregnant at all!!
