Iveneverseen, thanks for stopping by! I remember when you were wtt. Congrats on your pregnancy time sure has flown by!

 

[GraceER]

A friend of mine put a picture of her absolutely gorgeous baby girl on facebook earlier and it has majorly turned up my broody dial! I have so many exciting things in my life right now but I'm still dying to just start trying already!! I hate to wish time away but arrgghh so close but so far!

 

[busytulip]

I feel the same Grace. I definitely don't want to wish time away and try to remind myself to enjoy the blessings I have presently. But oh goodness...babies are everywhere!

I've been so busy recently ladies - apologies for the radio silence! I've been keeping up with everyone's posts here, and it's so great to have finally made it to August!

I'm due for AF this weekend, but the fiancé and I had something of a fun weekend 2 weeks ago and ended up NTNP, so there's a chance I'm in a TWW after all of that! I took an OPK one of the days and it was negative, sooo... If I'm not prego, I'll be in TTC and if I am then I'll be over in First Tri very sooN (I'll take HPT in a few days if I don't see anything from AF)! I look forward to seeing you all over there, and I wish everyone lots of fun doing the BD and lots of sticky baby dust!

 

[Earthylove]

[babydustcass]

Hey ladies, my name is Cassie. i'm moving on down from originally starting to ttc in october! I probably wont be 'trying' anytime this August but hubs has agreed just today that we can start once ive finished my pill packet, just 10 pills more to go!
We have 2 children already and this will be our 3rd. We have a boy 7 and girl 3 (4 in Nov) so quite spaced out age gaps. We are hoping for a summer baby too, both mine are winter babies, so itll be nice to experience something a little different!

Looking forwards to getting to know everyone and sharing the journey

 

[busytulip]

Hi babydustcass! :wave: welcome! Awww a little tie breaker.

Several of the other ladies have already made it look pretty easy. Hope that good luck rubs off on us all.

 

[Earthylove]

I hope so too, busytulip!!

Has everyone already moved over to the ttc boards?

 

[busytulip]

I am not really perusing them. It gets me too stressed out. I'm in 1 or 2 ongoing TTC group threads, that's about it.

Hello! I know I haven't commented in a couple months, but I'm back now My husband and I have decided to officially TTC starting today!
I do have a bit of an update on the things I mentioned before..
One thing we were waiting on was for me to get my wisdom teeth removed, and my appointment is this Friday! Glad to finally have that taken care of, I've been putting it off for a while.
I did have a health scare that has us thinking of delaying TTC.. Long story short a couple weeks ago I had a kink in my ureter, which was causing my kidney not to drain properly. People usually have those problems with kidney stones, but I didn't have any stones. The doctor told me he believes my kidney was "drooping", which was causing the kink. I'm a little skeptical though. Anyways, they put in a stent for two weeks, and hopefully I don't have any more problems! I thought about waiting a few more months to make sure I didn't experience any more problems with it, but there's a good chance It will be fine, and I don't want to waste those months. Which brings me to my next point..
I finally met with a midwife today! The main reason was just a typical yearly exam, but we also talked about TTC. I stopped the bcp nearly a year ago, and I still have long cycles (longest being 49 days, average 45) She thinks it might be a thyroid issue, so they did a blood test (I don't have results yet). However she thought my long cycles combined with me not being on birth control for a year and not getting pregnant might be a sign of fertility issues. It's hard to say that for certain, since we weren't actively trying. So she told me to start testing for ovulation these next few months, so we can have a better idea if I'm ovulating and when, and if I'm not pregnant in 6 months she recommends a fertility specialist.

I have thought about the possibility of fertility issues, but I'm not too worried since we haven't really been trying.
I'm going to start OPK today, and we'll just go from there!

Hi ladies!
I know some of you are also cautiously expecting, but I wanted to check in on everyone. How are you all getting on?
