Hello,
I have been with my husband since 2009. We begun using condom method until about 2012 when I used charting as a protective method + pull outs. In the last year we have practiced not trying, not protecting - in my case not charting. I have 1 son, 8 and my husband 2 girls (10 & 12) outside of the home. My son greatly wants a younger sibling! I also really think his age is such a precious time for him to embrace it as well. My biggest obstacle and regression for not actively trying in mind and body is my being overweight. These days I'm about 15 pounds over my end of pregnancy weight with my son. My desired weight is about 50 pounds away. I have lost about 15 already. I also have experienced some anxiety over why we haven't naturally conceived in these 5 sum years. And truth be told these last few months hub and I have been a little disappointed when TOM faithfully arrives, even though we are not trying-trying, lol. At this point we have decided to actively TTC; in hopes that I will continue to lose before, during and after conception. Medically I know losing weight would be beneficial pre pregnancy, as well as psychologically - becoming even bigger will not be good for my psyche. Yet I feel now is the time. Overall I really do want another child, one with my husband.
I would love to add some friends and cycle buddies. Let the journey begin:
-Testers- in order of first post
1) Babi
2) Tina
3) Rainstorm
4) Jules on 8/29/14, DPO8
5) Heather
6) ecarroll
7) Atleastthree
8) Heartx
9) Ruz
