It doesn't matter about which bracket you fit into... you can be trying for your first, or third, have been trying 6 months of 6 years, have PCOS, been on clomid, never been on the pill, IUI, IVF, suffered a lot, or only a little - let's all come together to hope, to dream, to wish and chat with like-minded people.

The only thing I ask... please no gender preference method swapping. Pretty please.

Other than that... let's get going... It's good to talk

and I think I know what you mean by the gender pref thing... not that I think other people shouldn't do it, but for me, trying to apply method and 'control' to this babymaking thing just makes me feel ARRGGHHHH as it feels so UNCONTROLLABLE. It seems easier to bed in for a long wait (as it were ) when, in my head, we're just doing what we normally do and seeing what happens. That's how ds was made, so it must work for us!

Blimey. I have verbal diarrhea today. sorry.

hello! I am ttc number 2, we've been trying since ds was 4 months. madness... but my body knows better than my mind, because he is now nearly 11 months and we're still trying! So, cycle 7 I think. I have been on the ttc thread which is now on part 4 but feel a bit lost there- so I wondered if I could join you here?
How's it all going for you?
I went through a frustrated and sad phase a couple of months ago and at the moment am going through a "I don't know if I want another baby yet' phase, I think. Can't be bothered with the day counting as the disappointment when AF is due.. and then late, and then arrives... is so crushing. Think maybe the denial that I want a baby is a way of dealing with the relentless advance of AF every month..

Actully, no dont answer that, I dont want to turn this into a debate! lol

Just thought it wasn't very fair to start a thread but put restrictions on it!

Hiya

Am TTC number 3 and this is my 1st cycle.

How come 'no gender preference method swapping.'?

I thought that thread was specifically for those waiting until their circumstances are sorted before ttc... I was hoping to bring everyone together who are trying now
