Topic: How many are there..... Posted: 04 June 2008 at 4:20pm |
of you out there actively TTC?
I am really interested to know because there seems to be loads of people that come out of the wood work now and then and it would be nice to meet others on the forum. I know there are the usual ones that post but I suspect that there are a number of ‘readers’ out there that may be too shy to post or have just not had the opportunity, this is it! Tell us a little about yourselves.
My DH and I have been ttcing for 3 months now, this will be our first. I'm originally from South Africa but met my DH while doing my OE in the UK. He is originally for Christchurch where we live now.

Hi we are actively trying, we have one daughter who is 26 months old. It took us three years to have her so are hoping for a much shorter time for baby no:2!!

Hi MummyMegs
My Dh and I have been TTCing for 18 months now. I have just been referred to the Oxford Clinic for really bad AF pain and clots etc and my GP has also been talking to the fertility people and they have asked that we do CD3 and CD21 bloods and then proceed from there. I'm an Aussie but my DH is a kiwi so we also live in Christchurch.

MoosMum - I've heard from a couple of my friends that #2 took a fraction of the time #1 took. So I'm hoping this is the case for you too.
Almostthere - you should get a ticker, if you sign up to ff(http://www.fertilityfriend.com) it will automatically update it for you and you don't have to know your cycle length or temp. It is anyway good to chart for future reference. I did not start from the beginning but wished I had.
Emily281 – good luck and hope it is all sorted soon

My DH and I live in ChCh and are 31 and 32, trying for our first baby.
I came off the pill at the end of Feb but this is our first proper month trying, due to an irregular cycle to begin with.
(oh yeah, and Mummymegs and I work together)
Good luck to everyone!

We aren't trying yet, in fact we have to do everything not to get preggers. But we will be trying in September (after AF has arrived for that month anyway). We can't wait. Waiting for September is taking forever!

Hi! DH and I have been actively TTC our first bubba since December '07. Conceived in Jan but m/c in March, and still trying to get preggers now. We are both from Wellington (and live there now) but met in Dunedin at a mutual friend's 21st. He was living in Dunedin then, and I was at uni in chch. I'm 25 and he's 27

Me and DH are trying...I am currently 7dpo but am pretty sure this isn't our month. My cycles are long and irregular, so we'll see...
Oh and I'm (nearly) 29  , DH 28 and Bella makes 3

We are just starting TTC this month. My DH and I are both 32 and this will be our first.
We live in Auckland.
Im really worried about how long it will take us TTC as I have a lot of friends that have had no luck and are on IVF etc.
Annoyed as my DH travels a lot for work and he will be in Oz for a week and guess what...its the week of my most fertile days. So its not looking too good for this month.
Another thing is that we are going on holiday to Fiji at the end of the month and that is when AF will be due so could be a huge downer while we on holiday!

I'm a bit of a regular on here but will add my two cents since I fit the criteria!
I'm 31, DH is just about 38 and we've been TTC #1 or 18 months now. Managed a BFP in December last year but mc'd on Boxing Day... we had our first fertility specialist's appointment end of last month and I'm due to have Laparoscopic surgery to confirm and excise endo (suspected Grade 3) - though this was meant to be next Tuesday it has just been postponed.
We live on the Kapiti Coast, work in Wellys but I'm originally from Hamilton and DH from Nelson - we met while working together at Christchurch Casino!

Hi ttc ladies. I've been here for a while now. We've been trying since Feb 07, so what feels like a very long time  I'll be 29 this month (yay! I love birthdays!) and DH is 9 months younger than me. We got married in Dec 06. It's getting frustrating now so we've told a couple of people IRL which has been good. Anyone else told 'real life' people (hope you all know what I mean lol)

Hi. My DH and I are TTC #2, starting this month  Unfortunately, my AF is still irregular and long (probably due to me still BFing). I'm 31 and my DH is 37, we got married in March 2006.
Good luck to all of you and most importantly - have fun!

Hi there, I'm 30 and DH is 29 and we've been TTC since Nov 07, but no luck yet.
I find this board helps especially with the TWW as it's fun hearing all the BFPs and it makes me think mine is just around the corner.

Hi guys, I am a regular.
Im 28 and DH is 29 and we married Nov 3 2006. I came off BCP Sept 07, We got our first BFP in April and m/c 2 weeks ago.
We are not actively TTC as my HCG levels are still not low enough, but fingers crossed we will be right to go next month

Hi, I haven't really said too much about actively TTC, but here I am! DH (30) and I live in Northland and have a nearly 7 month old. I stopped the pill 2 months ago, am due for AF any day (or not!)
