Waiting to try to conceive

[Amonstercooper]

Another thread for those who are waiting to try for a baby. It doesn't matter how long or short the wait; why you are waiting; or how many DC you have. All are welcome.

Old thread here.

Evil water I don't understand the sudden urgency. Can you explain?

Sudden urgency???

For the long con! [hgrin]

Hi All
Just thought I'd pop in and say hello - I've been caught up with work so haven't been around.
I'm about to scroll back to read through the thread, but one thing caught my eye - congratulations on the new job amanda!

I took the morning after pill, didnt really want too. But i did it because i dont actualy want a baby now because im getting married soon and dp was scared and mad that i put us in this situation. Im still convinced im infertile but that doesnt seem to matter to anyone. Il just wait. Dp has been at me all day about it and ive given up trying to do whats best for me. I know im being dumb so il just do whats right, take contraceptive and wait til he decides he is ready.

I've had to take it a couple of times at DH's insistence during the course of this waiting business. It's really horrible when actually you'd really like to have a baby.

I honestly don't know what anyone should do for the best. I mean I'm hardly an advert for doing the "right thing" am I? It hasn't paid off for me, I'm still childless.

Why do you say it doesn't seem to matter to anyone?

Dear buddagirl,
They say stress is the biggest thing for stoping fertility. My nan has always said that life finds a way, and things will happen when they are ment to.

I know it's hard, when all you see is children and prams. It must be very difficult to plan a wedding in these tough times.

How has Sunday been for everyone? I baked, did homework and got a few things for DHs surprise birthday party on Friday. But mostly I tested Christmas baking recipes (to make sure everything's ok to give away of course. Selfless!)

Thanks for the hug Zara1984!

AmandaCooper Congratulations on the new job! There's nothing quite as awful as bad work, and quite as great as getting out of it! (send some job-related luck my way when you're done with it, ok?)

Evilwater (were you LittleWater before Halloween took over mn? Or was that my imagination?) I laughed when I read about you finding a crying baby cute. The people in the suite below us have a 14mo old (ish) who cries a fair bit. Every time he cries DH complains, but I always secretly think it's sweet. Sad, I know!

Last but still critically important: how do you make names go bold? I'm so un-tech savvy sometimes .

Just put an asterisk * in front of the first and last letter.

Thanks for the congratulations!

aha!
Thanks!

Sorry guys i dont know why my phone decides to repost my last message a thuosand times :/ Ive contacted MN to take them off.

"Why do you say it doesn't seem to matter to anyone? "

Well, because its so illogical people dismiss it. If someone validated how i was feeling (like you guys) then it would feel like it matters. However, I dont need other people irl to validate me, i can do it myself. I guess I just wish my mum and DP could get past the 'uh oh she is being a freak again' and talk to me about how i feel. Its ok. its not the end of the world.

Hi all, can I join?

DD is 9 months old and I've just had my first AF since getting pg with her. Just waiting for 2 more AF on drs advice then will ttc. :)

Hoping DH will get relocated for work within the next year and desperately hoping I can have 2 more periods, get pg and then give birth before any moves!

Budda-
Itty- yes I am little water, changed to evil. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that's slightly mad. My Sunday was mixed,l worked like a dog then came home to check the computer, lastly I went to my mums and dads for a fantastic roast.
Jing- welcome.

Today Im working like a dog again. Is anyone having a better day?

Buddha - of course it matters if you are worried about your fertility!! You are not being a freak. I and I'm sure everyone else here is just trying to reassure you - certainly not trying to say that that your worries are unreasonable. But DO go to a doctor and get yourself checked out - as I said before, information is power!

Had a productive day today but babycrack hitting me hard today. Wanting to chuck my great (and very sensible plan) out the window and START TTC RIGHT NOW THIS MINUTE. Sigh. I blame FB and pictures of cute babies.

This is truly terrible to admit but as DH and I have agreed if we have an accident I won't get MAP... I really want to have a contraception failure. [hblush] Exploding/disintegrating condoms are on my wishlist. Bad bad bad bad must stop thinking like that!!!! [hblush] [hsad]

Welcome ComradeJing! You're close to the starting line and you've got a clear target! Being nosy here, why did your doc ask you to wait 2 cycles before TTC? I ask because plan for me is to have 2 (hopefully) in quick succession (if my April 2012 starting date ever gets here...).

Right, updated list

Zara1984 WTTC #1 - waiting till April 2012

Alexeliza WTTC #1 - waiting until after Christmas
ComradeJing WTTC #2 - waiting for 2 more cycles on dr's advice

In the meantime while we're all waiting we can bone up on all necessary info ... saw this in Discussions of the Day - things you wish you'd known before your first baby

Well I've been working with the pg lady today, and found out that another lady is pg.

I can't wait when it's me.

No worries Zara :)

My GP is a brilliant woman who has 3 specialties: family med, sexual and women's health and pediatrics. Her bf is a top pediatric consultant in Sydney. When dr was ttc for dc2 her bf told her she had to wait 3 cycles or her pregnancy would be much harder as it takes 3 cycles for hormones to regulate post pg and for these hormones to do the things they are supposed to like tighten pelvic floor etc. She got pg after 2 cycles and said the baby dropped quicker, she carried lower and wider and pelvic floor didn't really recover.

So I'm waiting 2 more cycles even though it would be more convenient to go again now!

I know how you feel evilwater! I'm telling you, babycrack is all instinct. And if instinct can make a bird fly halfway around the world twice a year it's no wonder were all just a leeeetle bit focused.

Welcome ComradeJing! you sound like you've got yourself well and truly organized. I hope my gp turns out to be a triple-treat like yours!

Is anyone else on this thread (or their dps) in school right now?
