Anyone want to join me in a waiting to conceive thread ? Anyone else really broody but can't TTC yet ?

curly sounds like fun, keep us updated.

hollyoaks I've been inducted into the 30s Gin Palace, so I won't be in the 20s and my own thread is redundant - past it now!

Welcome back pigley are you on the May bus?

Curly when I hit 30 (which is not all that far away) I will still be sqeezing myself onto the twenties ttc thread so feel free to join.

Pigley good luck ttc, how old is your dd? Hopefully we'll have lots of +ve tests come mid-september.

Hi everyone,

I joined you all as while ago but was very bad at posting reguarly. The thread moves too fast for me and DD has been keeping me busy!

Well DH and I are "officially" ttc now

Hope to see a few familiar names on the "bus" soon!
[waves] at Bebe!

Thanks bebejones can't wait to have that feeling with my own child for the first time x

I know I'm new...but still very excited for all you TTC'ers!!! Good Luck Curly!

Had a cuddle with DH's Aunties newborn today! Made the brrodiness even worse! Seems so long ago since my DD was that small, and it's only been a year!

I'm 30 - so guess I won't be joining you! Going to keep this thread 'watched' and drop in on you all - you're great company!

Good luck Curly, me and Kaylo are on the 'twenties ttc' board if that applies to you, but good luck, bet your excited. Keep us informed and enjoy.

Numbers crunched, meds researched and well, we're not waiting any more!!!

Came off most of my meds start of July, but had already been off the worst one (in terms of getting PG) several weeks earlier for other reasons. So this avo we decided we were cool to just get on with it - and we are. It's very exciting to be joining kaylo and hollyoaks Gues I'd better go and find the right 'bus' to get on

Curly I'll keep you updated, just may not be as regular as I'm going on holiday in one week and then back to work the week after . Starting to feel slightly nervous now, exactly the same way I felt first time round. I couldn't believe I was actually ttc and then the shock when I found out I was pg! Strange to feel shocked when your actively ttc but still very shocked.

Hope everyone else is well and hasn't got too long to wait. Kaylo how are you getting on, tired yet .

Hello all

Hollyoaks , thanks for getting this thing moving again - been a bit lazy recently TBH.
Are you going to stick with us and tell us how you're getting on TTC?

welcome bebejones we all feel the pain of waiting together here - so you should be right at home x

Hi all, this thread has gone very quiet of late. I hope you haven't all left in fear of the DM publishing you posts!

Anyway, thought I would let you know that af arrived today, (one day early) and I guess I have graduated from waiting to conceive to ttc . Hopefully it won't be much longer for most of you and you'll be on the due in 'insert month' threads before you know it. I'm hoping to join the June 10 thread all going well.

bebejones welcome to the thread, if your really broody heres the place to talk baby names and clothes.

Curly I bet your pleased you can ttc that month earlier, and extra 31 days would have been torture.

Just started my own thread then discovered you guys!! Can I join?

DH and I are planning on TTC very early in the New Year (sort of depends on AF!!). The wait is killing me! 4 1/2 months and counting! Everyone we know seems to be having or have just had babies! Our DD just turned 1 and we want to have a couple fairly close in age, just personally I could not cope with 2 under 2!! Not told anyone we are planning on number 2 at all, probably won't tell at all in RL! Not entirely sure how it would be met IYSWIM!

Good luck to all those TTC or starting to now!

Good morning and welcome to hefner and mumandlovingit

As a first timer I cannot relate to any of the stories/fears about kids getting on except to say that my gran told mum to have my bro and I close together cause we wouldn't fight. We're 18months apart and that was a nightmare! Small town, small school shared friends - not great as we'd end up 'with' each other's friends! Don't really speak much these days, but birth of nephew helped a lot. It's not that we hate each other or fight or anything, we just don't keep much contact, but it's improving through SIL, who I think is ace! But then again, other siblings with the same age gap get on like a house on fire, like DH and BIL.

kaylo don't you dare leave us!

how do hobnob, thanks - I can't wait to get started now! Keep dangling the "I should get bigger boobs" carrot in front of DH at the mo!

Second period off the pill just finished. and I'm on my last full cycle before TTC - wwooooo hooooooo!

Thanks for the welcome queenrollo, Hollyoaks and Kaylo. Good luck to everyone planning to TTC soon, I'll enjoy popping in to see how everyone is getting on. Can't wait till it's my turn!

Kaylo I'm jealous and I'm only a couple of weeks behind you. I hope the ttc rollercoaster is not like the one at Blackpool Pleasure Beach and is a smoother ride for all on board.

I have now started reading baby names threads and have found the perfect name for a baby girl, I'm sooooo broody.

Hello everyone

welcome hefner and mumanlovingit

Well it's my last day of AF today, so next week all being well we'll be TTC.
Only thing is, dh's Nana is really ill and they're expecting her to pass away today so don't think dh is gonna be up to doing anything as theres likely to be a funeral at some point next week[ish]

mumandlovingit I'm having similar worries to you [my dc are 3 and 4] with getting children to/from school between feeds and naps etc. But the good things outweigh the bad things I think. (or maybe my sense is clouded by pretty baby thoughts...)

Anyhow - I hope everyone is well. Can't believe theres a few of us actually starting to TTC in the next couple of weeks!!!

And so starts the rollercoaster of TTC.....

Queenrolo You never know your ds and new dc may be best friends no matter what the age gap, you'll just have to wait and see. My dm and her sister are 9 years apart and best of friends now, just not so much growing up. Saying that m and my ds are 14 months apart and we hated each other when we were kids and have only really got on in our twenties since having our own dc. Maybe its more of a personality thing then an age gap thing IYSWIM.

Hefner welcome to the thread, I dont know if it alleviates the broodiness or enhances it, but its nice to talk babies, ovulation, af, cm etc and not be boring the pants of someone.

Mumandlovingit your feelings are absolutely normal. My af is due in 12 days so we will be ttc at around the same time and I am so excited to have another dc but terrified of morning sickness again, labour and another assisted delivery and how crap I felt aftrwards but I am so excited to get that 'feeling' that comes when you fall in love with you LO. So I to will have really mixed emotions when it comes to taking the pg test. You also have a small age gap between your first two which must have been scary for you at the time but you got through it. Also if the oldest two are at school that might make juggling three dc easier than if they were all much littler.

excited as we're ttc after my next period which is due in 7 days.im so nervous at the same time though. our dcs are 7 and 8 and i dont carry babies very well (mc and early labour) and also dont labour very well (both babies in distress and one shoulder dystocia) so im trying to stay positive but there's an ache in my heart worrying that something will go wrong.

i know the children will love having a brother or sister but i worry about how i will cope with three of them.school holidays and even getting them to school on time inbetween feeds/changing etc!!

probably things you've all worried about yourselves. we both really want another baby but i know once we're actually trying i will be so nervous to be pregnant again and so scared when i take a test.is it just me or does anyone else have those feelings?

welcome hefner! this thread is great isn't it, i haven't told anyone in real life our plans to ttc next year so it's great to come in here and be broody!

Hi everyone,

I'd like to join your thread even though we won't be TTC for quite a while yet. We're both incredibly broody but to fit in with my job it would be best to wait until about April/May 2010. Don't know how we'll manage to wait that long, and I need an outlet to let the broodiness out, so this thread seemed perfect!

Hollyoaks - ds turned 4 last week. I always wanted to have my children close together, but life didn't mean for that to be, there is a 4 year gap between my and my sister and we don't get on. Similar circumstances in a way as we have different dad's but my dad was no-where to be seen......

i have to buy a new car this weekend, mine failed it's MOT and not worth getting repaired really. It's a pain though as i really need a vehicle so i can collect and drop off ds so i have to get something this weekend.

There goes the savings
