Waiting to ttc.... 2nd slightly pointless thread!

Aww don't say that faddypeony. I'm sure it's not jinxed anything. How old is you DC now?

No periods as yet. Although with weaning and less feeds - I have notice in last few weeks feeds are not as often as before - I'm thinking periods will return. Just wondering if they don't could I still conceive?

I would like my body back, but at same time thinking I should try to have another as close to the first so that I can do all the nappies, waking at night in the next few years. Also with maternity leave I'd get more time off again with dd1. Just wanted to get others thoughts on age gaps for baby no2 really.

Hi 20122012. Have your periods returned yet? Mine didn't come back until DD was about 12 months but everyone's different.I guess at 6months your DD is probably still having plenty of feeds (at night too I'd imagine)? I think it's definitely possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding, though, many women have!

I've more or less decided I'm going to come off the pill mid-August. I'm going to a wedding in September and I'd quite like to be able to have a few drinks at it, so probably will use condoms until then. It feels so weird to be deciding this though, almost feel like I'm jinxing things...

Hi mummies and mummies to be.

Can I join? I currently have a DD who is 6 months. Was thinking of ttc DC2. Wanted to get others thoughts on ttc whilst ebfing?? Is it possible??

Ta v much ladies.

If you know you are going to start trying soon Amy I don't see why you couldn't book to get the coil out now, it could take a couple of months for your first AF to come through and the first couple probably won't be regular so you could just use condoms for a couple of months if you want to wait? It will help with knowing when you've ov'd if your periods are more regular when you start TTC.

I think that's what I would do if it was me.

Hi everyone,

Could I join please?
I'm 28, I have one DD aged 9, feeling really broody at the moment and would love to add to our family.
We have a family holiday end of July, I then have a hen do in ibiza at the end of August, so having to wait until after then.
I am a little worried as I have had two mirena coils, without a break inbetween for the past 8 years. Any advice on when I should have it removed before starting to try?

I also googled about cerazette and was a bit but everyone is different. The last time I came off it AF returned within about 5/6 weeks. This time AF didn't get a look in!

Hi OP nice to hear things are going well :)

Hello everyone, I've since nc but am the OP. am currently 29+1 and washing everyone good luck with ttc or wttc. bridget huge congrats on your BFP just seen this!

Here's a helpful post...

I am not 100% sure about the withdrawal bleed cause I was having a bit of spotting at the time I stopped taking cerazette (wish I had waited till after spotting stopped now but I was too darn excited at the time!) I counted the bleed after 5 weeks as my first period even though it might not have been.

Oh it's okay Buddha I'm not too worried.

Oh disney talk about bad timing. :( can I ask when you came off cerrazette did you have a 'withdrawal' bleed or nothing until week 5?

He he :)

Me and hubby started TTC and then a friend of hubby's has come to stay until he gets himself a new house, the walls between our rooms are just plaster board...

Was discussing moving out of the inlaws house yesterday with dh and he came out with "maybe in a couple of months if moving out is taking too long we could just start ttc while saving loads of money" (we are very spoilt, have a whole floor of the house and don't pay rent, it would be feasible to start ttc... Noise wise, if you get my drift ) plus every month we don't move out we save about 1k. So now I don't know when it will happen! As soon as he gets his first pay check from his new job we can get the ball rolling with the house. I'm so impatient!!

Aw sorry demented I was being selfish and just added myself! Hope you get that bfp soon :)

Disney I've already googled. But I'm optimistic at the moment. I'm not in any major rush.

So I'll re introduce myself I am Demented, I have a nearly 9 month old ds. First time TTCing although its number 2. My ds was my precious happy little surprise :)

I was on cerazette and I got AF after 5 weeks from stopping, hopefully you won't have too long to wait either, just don't google it!

Awk Buddha you forgot me off the list.

Sorry I've been AWOL. I got my smear results back, everything is fine. Although I do have my 6 month colposcopy on the 25th June. Fingers crossed all goes well for it.

So today I took my last pill. So while we are technically not trying for a baby we are not being careful either. I was on cerrazette so I decided to come off earlier than planned to get my Af back. I'm dreading that. :(

Oh moomin how exciting for you. 3 big things in one week.

My Dp (or should I say newly Df) and I got engaged 2 weeks ago. So all exciting. Been looking on the wedding topic here it's so interesting, although it will be ages before we get married.

How's everyone doing?

Me too...I think people use < > (or something like that?!) on here.

It annoys me you can't add stars to indicate your doing something as it just goes bold.

Disney! Come back! drags you from the corner. These conceiving gadgets are complicated.

I can't imagine a bfp either. Think I'd instantly worry about MC. Not that anyone should do that! keeps on digging

Yeah it still is! Exciting times ahead then, looking forward to seeing lots more BFPs on here :)

Congratulations Moomin - that's fantastic. It must feel completely surreal! I can't wait for AF to hurry up and bugger off so I can have a go!

:) don't think I'll ever forget that moment when "Pregnant 1-2" appeared on the cb digital screen. I think it makes it even more mind blowing when you've had to wait to even try.

I got butterflies in my tummy reading that Moomin! I can't wait to be pregnant!

Definitelysometime I agree with your MIL, friends who've had kids tell me there's never a 'right' time (although granted there are better and worse times hence this waiting thread!). I got my BFP last week just after accepting a new job and have been really stressed out because of that. But after a stern talking to from my bf and mum I'm trying not to worry about that and just enjoy my pregnancy (eeeek it still feels weird saying that!)

Oh also I assumed it would take us ages to get a BFP too. It took 3 weeks. It happens!

Hello...just popping in to say congratulations to all the BFPs. I posted briefly on the first thread and have continued to lurk, although don't always have time to post. Am jolly broody and would like to ttc now but we have talked about it and will be waiting until December 2013 by which time we will have freed up some money and hopefully will be in a position to consider moving from our 2-bed to get a bit more space. Aware that time is ticking on for me and my biological clock is getting louder by the day!
