Frustration

DH and I want to try for #3 however we have a big move the end of May 2016 and DH's new job that starts June 15th.

Our youngest will be three next Friday and I feel so pressured to get baby 3 on the go... Our two boys are three years apart and I LOVE that age gap, it makes me so sad the further we wait.  Ive never had to plan a birth month lol  Does anyone know of a website that helps you pin point a conception time for the DD you'd desire?

TIA

    Hi! I'm also planning a move- one month after you guys- June 2016!

    As far as your question as to planning conception based on a desired due date- I wish it could be as simple as that, but it usually takes a couple 6-12 months to conceive, so IMO you'd be setting yourself up for disappointment if you put all your hopes and dreams into one conception date.

    Have you been temping and charting your ovulation? I recommend the app Fertility Friend. Even with all that data, though, I won't know if I'm ovulating ahead of time- I'll know based on ovulation prediction kits and will cross-reference with my BBT chart to confirm.

    Since we're in a similar situation, this is what we did- we picked a month where we'd be ecstatic to have a baby and anything after that is fair game. So that means that we're going to start TTC in November- if we miraculously got pregnant in the first month then we'd have an August baby. That would give us enough time to get settled after our June move!

    Thank you for your thoughts!

      Yes, I have just stared tracking and have given myself a "goal" due date..  I know not all pregnancies are the same, same as conception; DH and I have been very fortunate to conceive very easy. So I fear to TTC to soon, as I do NOT want to be moving on my due date lol.

       Maybe we'll shoot for October, and fall into November and so on.
