@HJWT we are the same. I’m a teacher so want the best maternity leave possible, but know it doesn’t always go to plan. We have both started on the vitamins and I’m using an app to track my cycle. Mainly because I find it interesting ha..trying not to become too obsessed 😅

Navy123 · 22/11/2018 09:11

@HJWT thanks! Last time I got a little bit obsessed 🙈 trying to remember what I did - obvs opks and lots of knickers watching but I'm sure Brazil nuts and raspberry leaf tea were involved and I'm sure a particular juice, maybe cranberry?! Hoping to go for the more relaxed approach this time!

HJWT · 21/11/2018 14:05

@Jesy2019baby we are hoping for the same! Don't want a Dec baby so will stop 'trying' for a month or two if nothing happens 😂 xx

HJWT · 21/11/2018 14:05

@Navy123 aw I hope you get a BFP and healthy baby to 🥰🥰

May I join? Planning on ttc number 2 after Christmas - DC1 turns 1 in Jan. Have been pg the last 2 christmases so want to join in the festivities this year before I have to give it all up again!
DC1 was difficult, 3 mcs before we finally fell pregnant so trying to prepare for that possibility again as well as trying to think positive!

Jesy2019baby · 19/11/2018 00:13

Hiya, please can I join in too?? ☺️ We are TTC from January for a Sept - Nov due date! All rather exciting/nerve wracking as it will be our first! Any advice would be welcome.. x

Hi ladies, I registered especially to join this group if you'll have me? Planning ttc first child from January 2019 - the struggle to wait is very real though! Grin

SerenaJoy10 · 12/11/2018 09:26

Hi ladies, can I join you? Stopped my pill last month, just waiting for first AF to start tracking cycles then planning on TTC from Jan. Our LO will be 1 in the New Year.

I booked to get my implant removed mid December! Then we won't be able to DTD till after I have a period because apparently your really fertile the days you come of contraception ?

Hello all! We will be trying for baby 2 around Christmas onwards also. Our little boy will be 2 by then. I'm scared but excited in equal measure at the moment!

ShowerTheHorse · 10/11/2018 12:54

Me too Smile. I had a MMC earlier in the year and haven't felt up to TTC yet. We have agreed to try again after Christmas I'm so nervous but excited!

You have less than a month to go! Hope you are more organised than me. Had a dress fitting today and it was so tight that I fainted!! Oops!

EthelThePiratesDaughter · 15/09/2018 18:28

Ours is on the 13th. (We're not superstitious!) We've only lived together a year (together for 7) and have no kids yet!

PyjamasForever · 15/09/2018 13:20

We get married on the 25th. How about you Ethelthepiratesdaughter? We've lived together years and already have one child, so I'm not sure much will change.

EthelThePiratesDaughter · 15/09/2018 10:58

someonekillbabyshark thank you, I hope so too!

PyjamasForever congratulations, what date? Don't wish the time away, just enjoy being newly weds and having a lovely Christmas together. January will come soon enough!

@EthelThePiratesDaughter we're getting married next month too! Hoping that the time until January will go really quickly between wedding, honeymoon and then Christmas.

civicxx · 14/09/2018 23:38

We are planning TTC from January18 also, slightly earlier than June18 we had originally said but work commitments have taken priority.

However we did TTC this month as a one off as dates would suit us well if I fell pregnant this month apart from no baileys & soft cheese for Christmas!!

I have started tracking ovulation by using a kit & cramps now so that when it comes to the crunch I know what's normal for my body!
