Anyone TTC After Xmas??

[whanau]

Hi Ladies,

I'm new to this site, we have decided to start TTC baby #2 after Xmas and I'm not going to lie, I'm going a little mad with no one to talk to about it (as we certainly don't want to share the news with friends or family until the first (or second lol) scan is out of the way! So I thought I would see if I can get a few of you lovely ladies together that are thinking of trying around the same time for a bit of moral support

We have just moved to a new area and started new jobs etc, so the news of my pregnancy (if it happens quickly) may not go down too well, but with my DS about to turn 3 next month, and the fact we are lucky enough to be living in a lovely area for the next 2 years we think now is the time to start trying.

I came off the pill last year and its taken about 9 months for my cycle to get back to normal, ive started taking folic acid a few months ago and have just ordered myself a basal thermometer & lots of opks!! All thats left is to "pull the goalie" after xmas (or sooner if i get my way!!)

Good luck hun! We were going to TTC from Jan but have put back to May My daughters birth is Xmas Eve, so we defo couldn't have another December baby. Rather than try, stop for a couple of months and then try again we decided just to wait. The last 3/4 months have absolutely flown over so I'm guessing Xmas, DDs bday , and other things planned it will go quickly too.

DD will be 5, and DS will be 3 in May, so we think DS being nearer to 4 is a better age gap for us.

There's usually lots of support on here, but people must be doing nice things this weekend! Lol!

We're trying for #2 around Xmas too. LO is 7.5 months old now. Fell pregnant straight away with her so hoping it doesn't take too long this time round. Just using the PD app on my phone, like last time.

My husband and I are going to start trying mid to late December for our first baby. You can add me on Facebook if you like (Kerry Lound) because it would be great to have someone to chat to about it as we're keeping it a secret too. Hopefully I'm doing all the right things to prepare - I've read lots!

 

[Mrs M]

I have 2 already (1 boy, 1 girl) and everyone keeps saying we have the perfect family as we are. We don't need another blah blah blah. So we're also keeping it all a secret! Will tell after the 1st scan - maybe even later if I can hide it. I was quite big by about 16 weeks second time round!

Hi, we will be starting to TTC from February, so yes, technically after xmas lol.

I know how you feel about the job situation. I have recently graduated from university and am job hunting while having TTC on my mind at the same time. But I can't put off my job hunt in case we have problems TTC. I am just carrying on as normal with the job hunt and cross the bridge if I come to it if/when we get a BFP.

I'm Katherine platt on FB if you want to add me. Already have a 7 month old and trying for #2 in December. Would be good to chat or give advice.

Hi girlies, we are also planning on ttc when I ovulate in December which I think will be around the 26th..
We have a 4 year old boy at the moment so I'm very eager to give him a much needed play mate!
It took me soo long to convince my OH to have another baby and now he's fully on board I can't believe my luck! I've even got him taking zinc as I've heard it's good for the little swimmers!!
My OH has just been promoted so he's away on a important course until 10th of December so Im in need of fellow waiting to conceivers to be excited with!
Does anyone have any advice on what Vitimans? Etc?
It's been so long since I've been pregnancy I'm nervous it doesn't happen as soon as I want it to!
Lots of love Kay xx

 

[Mrs M]

There are a few of us in here who are waiting. So many of you ladies are actually gonna be TTC very very soon! 2 months or less in some cases! How exciting!!

That's pretty much the same date as me. We both took the seven seas trying for a baby vitamins last time. I've still got a box in so going to start taking those soon.
Exciting stuff!!

 

[Bambino2015]

Ooo it's so exciting, I'm glad there are more people out there who are having to wait too so we can all share our ttc experience together.
Hopefully we all fall in first month of trying! ❤️
I'll have to get some multi Vitimans but there is so many to choose from!

Hello,

This is my first post in quite a while... Not sure if anyone will remember me but I had my little boy in October last year and he has just turned 1. We're planning on ttc baby number 2 next year (January onwards!). So excited but not telling anyone yet!

Xx

Hi ladies, thanks so much for all your responses, nice to know im not the only one waiting for what feels like forever!

Kerry I will add you on facebook later, nice to have someone to confide in when your trying to keep it a secret

My hubby & I are still planning on trying just after christmas, however we did have a little slip up after a couple of glasses of wine a couple of weeks ago so we are waiting to see the outcome of that!!! I'm a bridesmaid for my friends wedding end of Feb so its important I fit into my already snug dress so we are hoping we got away with it haha - (although secretly i am symptom spotting just in case!)

Good luck to you all getting ready to start trying next year, looking forward to hearing how everyone is getting on after Xmas .... not long to wait now!!!!

 

[Merida]

Well we also threw caution to the wind this month (several times *ahem*) and as a result I'm in the TWW lol However, if no bfp this month, then we will definitely stop ttc over christmas, I'd rather be able to enjoy all the socialising rather than be conscious of "maybe" being pregnant and not knowing. Then start 2015 afresh!

 

[whanau]

Yeah, same here, it'd be very obvious at our works Christmas parties if i was sticking to orange juice (especially as i have my in laws staying for a week at xmas too) so no more slip ups now, must be good until the new year!

 

[ChloeSmith]

I remember you Samantha! I've just started ttc (we were supposed to wait til jan, but couldn't wait! Lol!) Fingers crossed for us all! Xx

 

[Samantha55]

Chloe I remember you too!!! Hope all is well.

We were waiting until Jan but think we may have started already eeekkkk.

Good luck x
