Waiting To Try Sept/Oct 2014 :)

[dcm_mw12]

Hey ladies I'm a little worried and in not sure if I'll be able to continue with this journey and I would like to sign it over to someone else. Well I haven't had my period for about 2 weeks and today I decided to take a hpt and it came back positive. I'm a little overwhelmed about the whole situation and also scared.

Can I join too?

Me and OH are 32 and already have a beautiful 21 month old son and we will hopefully be trying for no.2 in September! I'm incredibly broody right now (especially as everyone around me seems to be preggers) and it feels like ages to wait. At the same time I'm really scared about the transition from 1 to 2. It seems a much more scary proposition than going from 0 to 1! I'm also worried about how we can afford it. We're already paying almost 500 quid a month in nursery fees as I work part time. We also don't own our own house and a second child would probably rule that out. But I really really want a second child and don't want to wait!!

I would also love to have a girl. I will have to look up gender swaying techniques as well although I don't know how effective they are!

Hi ladies,

Just read this thread as I too am wtt for round about the same time. Dcm_mw12, congratulations! That wonderful news, it sounds like you really wanted this to happen?! Have you taken just the one test or more yet and how are you doing? Looks like you don't need to figure out what career you want just yet, a brand new one is just beginning! Take it as it comes... Really happy for you x

 

[sweetmere]

Dcm, congratulations on your surprise bfp.

Willow, welcome!! I'm super broody as well which is funny because my baby is only 15 months old!! Haha

Update on me: I went to my obgyn and told him my issues and asked him when he would continue the testing they were doing on me while ttc my daughter and along with some really ignorant comments, he said he wouldn't until like February. So I get to try naturally until then. He wasn't rude, he just had no idea what he was talking about and said having no fertile cm is not a big deal, and that a short luteal phase doesn't exist which is bull.

So anyway like I said before...I'll still probably end up pregnant with or after most of you! Unless I take the soy isoflavones again...which I'm not supposed to do. Hmmmm.

Hi Ladies - I have not read the whole thread yet (will later today) but am excited to join in here. I haven't been on the forum long but really like this whole website ... I tried BabyCenter first and we all know how awful that is, so I thought I'd join you ladies across the pond even though I'm only here near Seattle

My Story: My name is Alicia, I am 30 and DH is 31. We have been married for almost 4 years this September. We have not actually been TTC yet these last few years. I was on Depo Provera for 3 years and had to take Provera to jump-start AF in order to take that. I have 'undiagnosed amennorhea'. Meaning, I've only had few periods since I was 13. I had a few in high school but not regularly, then in college was somewhat regular while living in a house with other girls, then was somewhat regular in my first full[-time job but not consistently. I've actually gone more years without a period than years with a period, if that makes sense. We (Doctor, DH and I) believe mine is triggered with pheramones rather than my own system. After my first full-time job ended in 2009, I didn't have a period at all for about 16 months before my doctor put me on Provera, in order to be put onto Depo Provera (ironic, but DH and I didn't want to 'accidentally' get pregnant our first few years of marriage). I went off Depo in September of 2013, because it started to affect my teeth enamel/chipped teeth and of course I had kept weight on and didn't lose any which are major side effects. I have not had AF on my own since September, and I'm not pregnant. Which means we will not try/not prevent this summer, but obviously if no AF = no ovulation = no pregnancy. And in September, as it would have been a year with no AF, I can go to the doctor and request a fertility specialist or meds because it would have been within their year of TTC with no babies/pregnancies. Oh the hoops to go through to conceive.

Anyway, despite that, why else wait until September/October? We have had very variable income/no jobs for the last three years while I got my MBA, and now DH has a somewhat steady variable income job, but I am currently self-employed. Our ultimate goal is to be debt free by September, go on our first trip since our honeymoon 4 years ago to Disneyland in October (completely paid for, no credit cards), and get pregnant that month. Ideally, I would also like to lose the 30 lbs I've gained since 2006 due to heavy stress (I was 112 when starting community college in 2002, now I'm 156 twelve years later ...), so this summer would give me enough time to try to lose at least a few pounds

I look forward to WTT with everyone this summer.

Hi all. Were pretty much waiting until I am a few stone lighter.(I have gone from 12 stone 6 till 12 stone in four weeks.) Also theres a couple of things in our marriage we need to iron out.

Same here - the 3rd fb baby announcement happened to me yesterday...I know my time will come (not that I'm the type to announce it on fb)
Yes the transition from 1-2 seems daunting on days...DS can have an amazing day and I can't wait to have No2 but other days he can be a brat and I think why the hell would I start again!!!

We will be saving from Sept onwards and like for DS I need to save enough money to have my mat leave so ideally about 3-4k, eeekkk!!!

Hi all, it has been a while since I posted here but thought I would check in! H2B and I are due to get married in less than ten weeks. We will then be TTC for baby #1. We are both very excited (and terrified at the same time!). In terms of preparation, we have been for a preconception visit at the doctors and all went well. We are now taking Pregnacare His & Hers Conception (currently on offer at Tesco!) and I am also having an added Omega 3, 6 & 9 supplement. How are you all doing? Really looking forward to joining the TTC threads with you all. Getting more and more excited now!

Started taking FA in June, been nearly a month and my AF has come 7 days early...Could it be linked?

Hi, I'm also WTT in October. I'm new at this forum and I'm so glad my friend shared it with me

I'm 26, my husband is 27. We've been together for 9 years and married for just over a year. We always wanted a baby, but weren't settled and financially ready until recently. The reason for waiting is that I'm on Roaccutane (medication for acne). I hope that I'll stop it after my next visit to the doctor (end of July), after which I'll have to wait another 6 weeks before trying to conceive.

I'm so anxious to finally stop contraception Especially since EVERYONE around me seems to be pregnant or just had a baby. I think there is at least 10 pregnancies/babies around me at the moment

I've started taking folic acid, since I've read that the longer one takes it before conceiving the better. I'm also trying to channel the frustration from waiting to exercise I'm quite fit, but I want to have the strongest core I can when I get pregnant. Anyway it's my way of dealing with anxiety

Hi, I think this is the thread for me too. Not 100% if we are sticking with September as I started a new job recently but I suppose we'll make a definite decision nearer the time. I am finding it so hard to wait. Katerina, like you everyone around me seems to be pregnant at the moment! And DH who at one stage was the one wanting to wait is really keen now. He doesn't usually bring up ttc but last night he was asking how long we had to wait. So, so tempted just to go for it but I must be strong as I know I will be happier and healthier if I can just wait until I lose a little wait and am in my job longer.

 

[sweetmere]

Hi ladies. DH and I ended up pregnant after three months of trying and unfortunately at 5 weeks and 6 days I miscarried. I am heartbroken but will be joining you guys again. WTT this fall as was the original plan.

 

[07janet]

Excited to try again but scare.

Hi all, sorry haven't been able to read the whole thread. Me and my husband are hoping to start trying in October, only chose then because it's when my pill runs out. We've been married for 9 weeks, and have a little boy Tyler who's just turned 2.
Just wondering how you all chose then to start trying? I don't know whether to just start now and throw the pills out?

We said that when LO turned 2 in September we would start trying again. I would rather he be nearer 3 and be more independent by the time a new baby came along. However. I'm impatient and we're moving to ntnp from now until September.

 

[Kristina6292]

Yeah that's what we were thinking of doing, and if it happens, it happens. Obviously the sooner the better lol.

Hello ladies, I'd like to join. I'm 26, DH 24. We have a DS who is 16 months. I had a surprise pregnancy in june which ended in an early loss. I wanted to start TTC right away, but DH wants to wait a few months and I need to lose some weight to have a healthier start. I am still breastfeeding DS and plan to until at least 2 years, preferably longer.

So having talked with DH last night, he is still not on board for actively TTC right now, so we are NTNP for a few months, probably October but maybe September. It's really just one cycle we have to wait for, but it seems like forever to me. I so want to be pregnant again, the waiting is so difficult!

I started prenatals after my chemical in June, I figure my body might be a bit depleted after the pregnancy and breastfeeding for over a year. I am currently taking New Chapter Organics Perfect Prenatal, New Chapter Organics Prenatal Wholemega, and 3000 IU extra Vitamin D3. Next week (when my current pills run out) I am switching to Vitamin Code RAW prenatal, Alternating Garden of Life Ocean's Mom and New Chapter Organics Wolemega for my DHA, the same 3000 IU of Vitamin D3, Calcium and magnesium supplements, and additional magnesium citrate. *Whew* That is a lot! I plan to keep these up, while also going on a slightly calorie restricted diet to lose the weight I need to while I am waiting.

I've lost 11lbs since the chemical in June. I need to lose 15-29 more. I would like to lost AT LEAST 5 more before we even had a chance at being pregnant (in the next two weeks, since we ARE NTNP) and hopefully another 10 before my fertile time in September. I try NOT to lose much in the TWW, just in case (which was an 11 day wait last cycle...not TWW)

Anyway, enough rambling...

Went to Kiddicare yesterday and got some Pregnacare for £1!
