TTC October-December prep group

Hi ladies,

I would love to TTC baby 2 in October/November ..well whenever it happens, but around Autumn/Winter this year would be my hope.

I would love to generally organise a TTC group on telegram or other app for daily encouragement and accountability in the processing of preparing for pregnancy. Supporting each other with things like exercise, healthy eating, mindfulness/meditation, and anything else relating to wellbeing.

Going into lock down really took me out of my usual routine and any good habits that I had developed. I thought it might be nice to build a community of women with similar aims, to encourage and support each other.

If you are interested, please do reply to this message, and I’ll take it from there.

@Toobroody it’s so hard isn’t it when you just can’t wait to get started! We have done the same and started supplements. I am having my implant removed tomorrow - it actually expired back in May but I’ve not been able to get an appointment until now due to COVID. Really hoping my cycle goes back to normal quickly.
Have you told anyone that you are planning to try for a baby or have you just kept it between yourselves?

Hi Ladies, okay for me to join? I’m TTC baby no.1. I’ve been off my pill since last october- fell pregnant in January and had a mmc in April. Periods started again in June. It was quite long winded, so I’m waiting for AF now, she’s a week late and negative tests. But when she does arrive I’ll be moving into my third cycle of trying again!

Can I join too? TTC baby number 1 in the next few months - I've just come off the pill and we have both started the pregnacare conception suplements. We're so excited but know it might not happen straight away as we live apart (sort of long distance) but househunting this month. We know we should probably wait until we're living together but we are unfortunately too impatient Grin

Hi @AmyRose30 would you mind if I join? I’m new to mumsnet but planning to start TTC baby #1 in October.

@Blissfulignorance I’m sorry you had that experience. I have a close friend who was trying for 2 years with her first baby and had numerous miscarriages. I think they had IVF. Second baby - conceived first month. I think each conception and pregnancy is as unique as each child. I hope you’ll have an easier - speedier conception with your next one.

Yes, covid caused my delay. For one I was quite sick end of last year with a bad flu (or possibly covid) - if it wasn’t covid and that’s what a normal flu feels like - God help us. Then in feb-March I got a bad case covid blues and I actually lost a close family member (to covid).

I feel much better now thankfully, and I figured if I felt like that and covid disrupted my plans maybe there are others too, and maybe we can support each other with getting back on track. Besides, It’s always nice to have a community around you, and TTC is such a unique process - most people won’t really understand quite like another women going through it at the same time.

Hopefully you'll just have to wait 1 month again! That's fab!
I had quite a journey of 17 cycles and a loss before we were successful hence my hesitancy. My LO is 2 now so simar ish gaps.

If you dont mind me asking has covid put you off or made you think a bit more?

Hiya, I hope you will consider joining if you’re aiming for Oct-December conception.

We got pregnant month 1 with first baby. She’s now almost 3. 2 years 8 months.
And yes I’ve started taking supplements now but so forgetful Confused.

I'm on the fence about TTC number 2, but if we did go for it we'd start about the same time.
How long did you try for number 1? And what's the ages gap?
Spose we should start taking the vitamins now?
