Moving on over!

[aidensxmomma]

Hi ladies! :wave:

I finally get to move over here and I'm so excited!

A little introduction/backstory:

I'm 23 and a mommy to three beautiful children. My son, Aiden, is six; my daughter, Madalynn (Mady), is five; and my daughter, Seraphina, is my angel baby...she'd be turning three this month.

Shortly after my youngest passed from SIDS, my kids' dad and I split up. That was 2 1/2 years ago. I am now with an amazing man who I plan on spending the rest of my life with. Part of our life plan includes starting a family of our own. We are trying for my fourth and my OH's first.

We decided to go the more relaxed NTNP route until October 2015. If I'm not pregnant by then, we'll be more actively TTC. I've been trying to keep track of ovulation based on my body's signs but I haven't temped/charted yet and won't do that or use OPKs until we actively TTC.

I am so excited to be moving over!

Hi Kelly :wave:

When I was TTC with my youngest, I was trying for around a year and I got really stressed over it. The month I actually decided to give up and that I was out was the month I got pregnant. So stress definitely does play a role in TTC.

That's kind of funny that your OH did that. Mine kind of did, too. First he told me that we had to use the rest of our condoms (maybe a month's worth) but then he told me if I "forget" to tell him when I'm ovulating, that'll be fine, too. Men are funny. lol

That's pretty much what happened when I was TTC my youngest. I have irregular cycles and suspected endometriosis. I had an appointment all set up with my doctor to start investigating the cause of my irregular cycles and had to cancel because I got pregnant instead.

How long did it take you to conceive your daughter (if you don't mind me asking)?

Are you hoping for a boy this time? I think my OH would prefer to have a boy, but we're planning on having two children together, so I don't think he's too worried about it this time around. I go back and forth between wanting another boy and wanting another girl. I have a boy and 2 girls, so as long as I get a happy, healthy baby, I'll be perfectly happy

Hello! I was in another thread with you in WTT, looks like we've both come to NTNP at the same time. I was originally going to wait until 2016, but then it became 2015, and then it became now!

Good luck, hope things happen for you soon. We are only using the pull out method atm, and I've never NTNP before, with my last two we went right into TTC, so I am curious how things will unfold this time.

We were originally waiting until Spring 2016, then it became October 2015, and finally this month my OH said that we could ditch the birth control and see what happens It's kinda funny that it worked out that way for both of us.

And thank you I hope that it happens quickly for you as well

I have pcos too, and I'm currently waiting for my appointment from the fertility clinic. We're still trying naturally until then, in the hope it'll happen for us. We've been trying since June, but we've been taking the more relaxed approach. I haven't been temping etc. We both seem to think, if it's meant to happen for us, it will. X
