Waiting to TTC

MissK Just because your sister is TTC doesn't mean you can't why would you think you couldn't keep trying?

Hi everyone,
It might be tmi but im excited that af is back after finishing depo just before Christmas. Super excited since i was worried about it not coming back after 2 years on depo. Will be interesting to see what happens next with my cycle, i never thought i would be happy for af to visit. :-):-)
Missk, i am with the others, go for it, life is too short to wait if you are ready. Can i ask why you are worried about ttc at the same time?

Hey ladies, hope its ok if i pop on here and introduce, I am Lauren, we are hoping to start TTC in Winter, I have Louie who is 3 and Scarlett who is 15 months old, I am breastfeeding and have not got AF back yet so just biding my time. We are hoping for another Boy but either or will be adored of course. I say winter but we aren't using contraception now and im going to start using LH surge testers to try pin point whenever my first post partum ovulation occurs. would be awesome to aviod having a period altogether.

Its different for every one id say, with my first he started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks and that's when i got my first period, i felt totally ripped off lol, but they were all over the show if he got unwell when my period was due and nursed more it would delay it, i was charting from when he was 9 months old and i had a 20 day cycle, then a 25 day one, then a 45 day one when he caught a cold.
This time around we are 15 months down the track and not a sign, my daughter still nurses over night sometimes so i think that maybe whats stopping my period from returning, I will night wean her if it is still not back in a few months :)

I got pregnant while nursing first time around and will do this time around too i hope :)

Thanks, interesting to find these things out

Hi ladies. It's been a while since I posted, but keen to start getting excited about the wait to start TTC # 3. Hubby and I were going to wait till the end of the year to start trying, but I'm getting way too clucky (and I think hubby is too), so have decided on July/August to start trying. I really don't want to be due around the same time as I was with our DS (who was due in January this year, but was born sleeping on Boxing Day). I just feel like that is 'his' time of year and I don't want it to be over-shone by another baby. Also I don't think my body could handle the stress of going through a pregnancy at the same time of year as I did with DS. So a baby due around April/May would be perfect for us.
I stopped taking my mini pill last week, so am now just waiting for AF (which I've had twice since having DS). We see our OB this week so need him to change or stop my medication (a blood pressure pill - long story but my BP goes nuts in the last trimester of pregnancy and post partum), and then the countdown is on. Physically and emotionally I feel 'ready'. And we can't wait to give miss almost three a little brother or sister for her to grow up with. I think that's been one of the hardest things, seeing how loving she is to babies. She would have (and will....fingers crossed) made/make such a great and loving big sis :-)

Mummyinc how do you get 2x tickers in your signature? Ive tried adding a second ticker & get bits of code showing up in between them?

wohoo it worked! Thanks Mummyinc! Yah to ovulating! I'm pretty sure Ive just ovulated, just started tracking symptoms again to get a good idea of whats going on with my body leading up to TTC

Would it work if you used the smaller ticker option rather than the larger/longer ones? We're aiming for Sep/Oct to start trying, although it is tempting just to not try not prevent for a bit & just see what happens but I have my brothers, husbands & first borns birthdays all in April so want to avoid that timing like the plague! Good luck for tonight!

Exciting Nannikin,
Hey looks as if your little one has the same birthday as my Dude, going by the ticker, that so cool! April 30th? Where you in the April 2012 Due date group?

I better be getting something, my skin is so bad at the moment, has been beautiful since i gave birth and in the last week i am break out city :( blah.
Also dreading my first Post partum period i heard they get worse with every pregnancy and after my first born they were super painful...hohum, butter then no period when your starting to chart i suppose :)
