Just a thought for chickenchaser

I'm sooo scared my DH will change his mind about NTNP. I'm scared to mention it again, in case he puts our dates back. Although, when we DTD on Wednesday, he asked whether he needed to wear a condom (which really took me aback!). I hesitated, but told him he didn't need to (it was CD4 and according to the FAM method, you're safe for the first 5 days of your cycle) - but he wore one anyway.

We'll get to using the FAM method next cycle, and then NTNP after that. Fingers crossed our plan stays that way (or happens sooner!).

Other than that, I'm just waiting to hopefully try in June/July. It is frustrating because we are suppose to move back to the US next July so I'm trying to time things so I give birth March-May 2013. I love the health care system here and want to give birth here again.

DH sent me a message last night and said the company might want to move us to China

or move us back to the US earlier. That would definitely put a hold on TTC

. I hate not knowing what is going to happen.

Oh No Lilyanne, that is no good at all. I have friends in German and have spent a lot of time there over the years, I love it too. I hope it all works out for you. What does your OH do? It sounds as if his job makes you travel a lot.

He works in the automotive industry. He loves his job and when we moved abroad I became a SAHM. I told him he can do what he needs to do to move up in salary and in the company, even if it means moving abroad and traveling. My only stipulation is we need to be back in the States before LO starts school.
I just hate not knowing as I am a planner. Last time we found out we were moving from the US to Germany a month before we needed to leave

I'm really struggling with broodiness over the past week since I started my pill pack. I feel like bursting into tears and I'm so short tempered. What a selfish bint I am but I can't seem to control it =( I'm trying to plan a nice weekend - there's the Edinburgh tattoo convention and hopefully the weather will be nice again.

*whimper*

This is the same thing my OH is doing to me. We were planning for July and then OH just started saying wait until we move (which is in a few weeks) so we could potentially start trying May but I don't want to get too excited in case that doesn't happen.

This is definitely a fear of mine. Ever since OH said just wait until our move (which is in the middle of April) and basically hinted at trying right after we get settled, I've been afraid of bringing it up in case OH goes back to wanting to wait until July.

I was a broody mess the past few weeks. Though I swear a lot of it has to do with the pill screwing with my emotions. I was constantly flipping out on my OH telling him that I wanted a baby right now and that I hate that he's making us wait. I was surprised to learn that he's been just as broody as me but it's not practical for us to start TTC until after we get moved to our new place and settled (not long to wait for that). Have you tried talking to your OH how you're feeling? He might surprise you like mine surprised me.

NurseSooz · Mar 30th, 2012, 13:46 PM

When I do his answer is always "your time will come". He doesn't see the hormonal control the broodiness has on me. I think he believes I'm being pathetic. He doesn't understand how a woman could possibly get herself in such an emotional mess about it. I really am struggling just now

It wont be long now. I don't have my implant out until May so I know how you are feeling.

Hope I'm not being way out of line here but I had my implant removed about 3 weeks ago (I want to ttc this summer) and the nurse (specially trained for implanon and working in family planning clinic) told me it takes most women between 3 and 6 months to get their period and that even then it can be irregular, long cycles etc. I really regret not getting it out a few months earlier. Now I did have a bleed that seemed exactly like AF 3 days later but this could have been withdrawal bleed and I don't know if I'm actually ovulating. So much mixed info out there-loads of sources saying it leaves your system in 12 hrs etc but even search the forums here and you will find it took some people up to a year to get their regular af back.

I agree, men don't get it. We're biologically made to want to have babies. I think my OH is just starting to get broody himself which has made him a bit more understanding. Until recently, he didn't see any need to have babies right now. I hope your OH gets bit by the broody bug so you don't feel so alone.

Me too. Thankyou for being so understanding
