How is everyone?

[Mrs M]

This year seems to be flying over for me! Can't believe we're mid April already! I've even started my Xmas shopping!!

I can't believe how close we are to TTC our 5th and final family member! We've got a few fun things going on in the next month and then it'll be all systems go! This has possibly been the longest year and a halfs wait of my life but it's just around the corner now!

Hi Mrs M. When are you going to start trying then? I have just been late for 9 days and thought I was pg but it wasn't to be. Had a think and now officially ready to have another. But going to WTT til September and then TTC. X

 

[Mrs M]

After AF in May My last AF was 40 days, and I knew I wasn't pg so it was very frustrating!

 

[lucylu87]

It was frustrating as it was completely out of the blue but then made me realise I really want another. X

 

[kellylou]

Well since I was last on here I have stopped taking the pill now and have had a regular af. My cycle appears to have returned back to normal so far however it does mean that I will have my af for the first few days of my holiday which we all predicted!! However it means I am only about 3 weeks away from ttc now.
I am now feeling so excited!

 

[Mrs M]

Ah Wow! Hope you have the most amazing time, and I'll see you over in TTC

 

[kellylou]

Thanks, cannot believe I am down to about 3 weeks!!

Hi everyone, we were going to start ttc #2 in May but decided to have some major works done to our house first and then start trying when it's near enough finished. Not too sure when that'll be but hopefully at the end of summer/start of autmn. So it looks like I might be joining you Lucylu87 if we start in Sept
Mrs M & kellylou, not long for you to wait! I'm feeling a bit jealous but I know it's the right thing for us to wait. Have any of you started doing any prep's or are you going with the flow?
I still need to get the coil out BUT I started taking folic acid today!!!! I bought it yesterday and nearly died of excitement! how sad is that?? It's the first steps towards 'project baby' and it made it much more real
Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday
xx

Having just gone through a rather nasty ectopic pregnancy and losing my left tube I'm now waiting until September before we think about TTC again....

 

[kellylou]

I'm on seven seas pretty conception doing everything as we did last time so hubby on vitamins too. 2nd month after finishing microphone and cycle still appears to be consistent as per past one so fingers crossed we were on hols when we conceived ds so hopefully we will be relaxed this time!

 

[Mrs M]

We were going to start in December, and I decided to wait another 5 months! The sad thing is I can't actually remember what my reasons were! Ha ha! Anyway, the time has felt like it's been dragging, but all of a sudden it is almost on top of me! I've been taking folic acid when I have remembered! This is baby number 3 for us so I am very busy with my other kids! Terrible excuse I know! And I've been trying to lose some weight. I've managed 20 lbs so far, and realistically I might get another half stone off, but the fact that I am eating healthier without really trying and thinking about it too much is a good sign! I'm still overweight but I was with both my other pregnancies. This time though I'm almost 35 so I am giving myself until February to try and if nothing happens I'm giving up. It just isn't meant to be!

Despite my daily stalking of this forum, i barely post, so here goes nothing...I have 31 pills remaining. Once they're gone, we're not actively trying but won't be taking any steps to prevent either! After our wedding in October, if I'm not already pregnant, then it will be all systems go go go. I'm so excited. SIL is due today and I've spent the last 8 months (we've known from 5 weeks) being very jealous. I can't wait for it to be my turn

 

[Mrs M]

Seems to be a few people waiting for May! How exciting for you! Hope your niece or nephew arrives soon x

 

[BabyMaker]

Mum2Many, I'm so sorry to hear about your horrible ordeal. FX you'll catch quickly in Sept. *hug*
Mrs M, well done on the weight loss! What a great achievement
Jem8789, welcome Will this be your first? Has your SIL had the baby?? My SIL is currently TTC but not heard any news yet... Hope we will be pregnant at the same time.
Anyone else waiting until summer/autumn until TTC?

 

[Loula]

end of year for me

 

[jem8789]

Hi BabyMaker yes this will be my first. SIL is still very pregnant but she had a sweep yesterday afternoon so hopefully my niece will be arriving soon

 

[Rose83]

Well my little girl is 4 months now and we aren't doing anything to prevent but I'm express breast feeding and haven't got my periods back yet. She is going about 8-9 hours at night without feeding and I have about 9 hours between expressing sessions at night. But today and yesterday I got a strong positive on an OPK so perhaps my AF is just around the corner (well two weeks round the corner). We DTD the day before yesterday (just for fun!) but i suppose there is always the chance that if I do ovulate I could get pregnant. However I was totally sure I ovulated last month but then no period so I must have been wrong. I suspect i will have to wait for baby number 2 until I give up breast feeding x

 

[BabyMaker]

Jem8789, any news re your niece? Bet you cant wait for baby cuddles
Hi Rose83, you are so brave thinking of ttc already. My little man is 3.5 and only in the last 6 months have we started discussing number 2. If you fall quickly they'll be very close in age which will be lovely for them growing up I am slightly worried about a potential 4.5+ year age gap but I hope it will be fine...

[jem8789]

Thanks for thinking of me BabyMaker! My beautiful niece Lucia arrived last night weighing just 6lb15, we were very lucky and were allowed cuddles when she was just 30 mins old. She's perfect and just gorgeous. We're going back up to the hospital shortly for more cuddles!

 

[Mrs M]

What a gorgeous name! Really unusual but not at all odd - if you know what I mean! Ha!
