New thread ladies! @PastaSauceHoarder @Goostacean @Barker26 @crazychemist @DoveGreylove @springsummerautumnwinter can't remember who else to tag.

I know @cupcakesandglitter has linked us to a new thread but I'm not sure I am strong enough to be surrounded by those TTC already!

@McHelenz yes we can joint the actual TTC threads together!

@dottydally late Feb / early March I think. Need to find out how long the wait time for an appointment to have it removed is. It's usually 3 weeks just for a standard appointment at my docs. I would just get it out sooner but my OH hates condoms 🤦🏼‍♀️ classic.

Merry Christmas all!

@Tropicana1 it's so soon! I can't believe it. Just a few more weeks to get through and I will be joining the obsessive/symptom spotters. I kid myself that I won't but we know I will! It's all a little bit surreal to be honest.

You are getting there too. When are you having your coil out?

@tropicana1 we must be about the same time, we are the beginning of April!
(3 periods to go!)

Tropicana1 · 26/12/2018 20:09

Merry Christmas all! @McHelenz remind me when you're starting TTC? All feeling within reach finally for me (end of march)

@dottydally how are things? Not long for you now!

McHelenz · 26/12/2018 14:04

Hope all you ladies have had a lovely Christmas! We're all a little bit closer to our TTC dates xx

McHelenz · 19/12/2018 07:40

Not too bad @dotty! Still trying to get my living room finished before Christmas. It's getting a bit ridiculous now!

Tropicana1 · 19/12/2018 00:14

@dottydally I would continue to have protected sex and were you to get pregnant, tell the doctor right away about the unprotected zika time so they can test if needed

@McHelenz well that's reassuring. I should still wait out the rest of the 8 weeks though shouldn't I? I definitely didn't get bitten (I was paranoid so practically inspected every bit of my body each day) but it's the 'what if'.

How are you doing?

OP posts:
McHelenz · 17/12/2018 14:26

The doctors may want to send you for extra scans if you were pregnant. Sometimes you don't know you've been bitten and it's symptomless.

However, try not to worry. I think they worked out it's affecting like 0.01 percent of people.

Congratulations @Jelliestogether!

I've come for some Zika advice.. we had a moment of madness and had unprotected sex whilst I'm in my 8 week wait. I didn't get bitten while I was abroad, do I need to be worried? It just kind of happened and all was forgotten in the heat of the moment Blush

Congratulations @jellies!

I haven't been getting notifications for this group, annoying! Hope we're all ready for Christmas. I am not!! I decided to decorate my living room and don't even have my tree up yet!!

Tropicana1 · 16/12/2018 17:46

@Jelliestogether congratulations!! How amazing! Good luck, hoping you have a happy and healthy pregnancy 😊

Muffin9120 · 15/12/2018 19:26

Congratulations x

Jelliestogether · 15/12/2018 10:27

Just thought I would come on here and share my good news, I will be leaving this group to join the other group. Whilst waiting we were being less careful, and today I got my BFP....app says 7 weeks so we shall be speaking to the doctors on Monday!! Good luck to you all, hopefully see you on the other group x

Muffin9120 · 10/12/2018 15:57

3 more cycles isn’t so bad, least is short enough to be counting down & will come in no time with Christmas and new year coming up x

Tropicana1 · 09/12/2018 23:02

Hi to the new ladies! Welcome 😊
It's definitely nice having a thread to all chat in
@dottydally ah that would be so nice! We will miss the boat for a Christmas baby if my cycles stay at their current length. Only 3 more periods to go though until I get my coil out 😂

Muffin9120 · 09/12/2018 22:24

Yes I will do & you! Hope it all happens quickly for you x

APositiveMind · 09/12/2018 22:22

Isn't it frustrating being on two different pages! If it's anything like this year next year will fly by and you'll be on the home straight too! Keep us updated Grin

Muffin9120 · 09/12/2018 22:10

Hey!! At least your on the home straight now, and I hope it happens quickly for you! I’ve got a while to wait, but got to respect his wishes no matter how hard it is 🙈 I keep hinting and showing him videos and taking him to places with lots of children but he’s not changing his mind 👎 x

APositiveMind · 09/12/2018 21:51

Thankfully I've just got past my last ovulation before january so I feel a bit closer to the goal now!

APositiveMind · 09/12/2018 21:50

Hi Muffin! Exactly same as you! I'm so so ready after umming and awwing for quite q while, I'm 22 my OH is 31, he did say he wanted kids by 30 but has now got cold feet and said wait until January. It's been so hard trying not to obsess about it!

Muffin9120 · 09/12/2018 21:43

It’s horrible waiting isn’t it? I’ve been ready for a while but OH hasn’t. Think he is scared tbh, we have both said we have always wanted children but me sooner than him in seems. I’m 24 and he is 25 so there is loads of time. It it doesn’t stop me being anymore impatient 😂

daydream86 · 09/12/2018 21:25

Hi there ladies would love to join your little waiting room, I’m 32 with a DD aged 2, weve finally made our minds up to TTC baby number 2, but waiting til may/june 2019 for hopefully a new year baby 2020 as we have tonnes of birthdays
in oct, nov and Dec and i don’t think I could cope with another Blush it’s hard to wait when you set your mind
on something you want so much!

Muffin9120 · 09/12/2018 21:04

Hey (: can I jump on this train too? Me and my OH are waiting until summer to try & the wait is just unbearable 😔

APositiveMind · 08/12/2018 22:13

May I join? Would be lovely to talk to people in a similar situation to myself.
