Waiting to TTC

Amk, how did you two go? Fingers crossed x

Im on cycle day 45 and wondering when AF will arrive. Lots of funny symptoms but nothing to show for it.

MIL gave me a bunch of DHs things from when he was a baby yesterday, hinting much haha.

I hope everyone else is doing well :-)

Oh and Mummyinc & MrsK I hope your cycles settle down for you soon! So frustrating when they don't behave

How exciting nannikin!! bet you can't wait to see is AF shows up

Excited and a bit nervous Nannikin! I am excited about the idea of TTC but then the reality/implications of our actions (being pregnant with my own little gremlin) is a bit scary! Hopefully that will pass, talked to DH about how he was feeling and we both decided that we are as ready as we ever will be, I guess we wont know we are ready until we have a little one, which could take months or years who knows

Im still here too... we had planned to start in September but i still dont have proper cycles back after coming off the pill so may be waiting a little longer :)

i started temping just to see if anything was happening, had a good temp rise last week so fingers crossed. Here's hoping AF arrives this month.

Hope you are doing well x

Ohh good luck for AF MrsK! Ive never tried temping but sounds interesting and good to know whats going on. I used the ovulation sticks last month to see if they timed in with when I thought and I got ov pains day or so after I got a strong positive so I guess thats a good sign! Other than the first few periods after having my son, I seem to be more regular now than before having him so thats handy :)

2furkids so excited for you! I may have to lurk the other forums to keep an eye out for any BFP news!They definatly seem to be busier forums, cant wait to join back in again!

Ive heard those tablets 30+ can work great for some people to balance hormones, especially after coming off the pill, might be worth a shot?

I havent been on the pill since since before I concieved my son just over two years ago, I honestly cant recall how long it took for my body to sort itself. Pretty sure I came off the pill in December and we started trying in May the following year but not sure what my cycles we're doing up until then.

Hi ladies, sorry i havent been on in a while i usually just use my iphone but find it easier to read forum on PC so popped on to update you all, We are sorta offically good to go from this cycle im CD3 at the moment, last four cycles have been 28 days, 34 days, 28 days then 28 days so finally seem to have settled, i usually ovulate day 14-15. So good to have Kindara ap and so easy to track with it, im not bothering with temping as co-sleeping and the kids wake me up so usually up and at em, but i can telll easily by CM whats going on and start using OPK as soon as EWCM so i can track OV too.
Last two months we have had VERY close calls and no pregnancy ( 1st time was 2 days before +OPK and second 24hours after +OPK) these were accidental but would have been ok if we got pregnant, humming and hahing about getting pregnant this month, id ideally like to breastfeed my daughter til he is 2 at least, but not keen to tandem nurse again so would be weaning her before 6 months pregnant, but my milk dried up at 9 weeks last time and she isnt 2 til Early Janurary.....Id LOVE an August baby....but dunno if i can hold of til then lol :P

Hi Ladies, I am still lurking here in the background! We had agreed to start trying in August, but then I got a new job that is a lot closer to home! While we had initially planned on waiting until April to start TTC, we are now thinking November for a August 2016 baby. It will mean I would have been at my job for just over a year... what are your thoughts? Is that rude? I thought I would want to work for longer but it turns out I really just want us to have a baby.

P.S It has been great reading up on everyone's journeys so far!!!

Thanks :) I am not planning on returning, but I still want to have the 52 weeks just incase! At this stage, if we started trying in November, I will start maternity leave after the 52 weeks. Plus, that is assuming I get pregnant straight away... which probably won't happen. As I am a teacher, I am trying to work it around the school terms :)
