Well, maybe NOT be careful in your case :)

happygoluckyinOz · 05/08/2013 09:47

DH knows the risk and I did say "are you sure"... but I know that if I did get pregnant now he wouldn't be happy about it, and I do want us both to be happy about our impeding first born! So may have to be more careful...

We are starting in September :)

dollydaydream27 · 05/08/2013 10:57

Hello please can I join?? I'm 27 ttc #1 with dp of 5 years in October we have a holiday to America planned. I was on previous thread and originally planned to ttc in march when I would be entitled to maternity pay .
However.... We had been umming and ahhhing over going to America as its something we both really wanted to do . So we decided to go for it as perhaps our last hol together with "no responsibilities " .
So we are going to start ttc while we are there Smile very excited !! It all worked out for the best too as I've recently moved jobs which I'm much happier in !
Sorry about the long post !

gwenabee85 · 05/08/2013 20:13

Aww, can someone put me in Dec too please?! Can't copy and paste on my phone :)

gwenabee85 · 05/08/2013 20:14

And welcome dolly! Where in America are you going?

dollydaydream27 · 06/08/2013 02:26

All over visiting people and seeing the sights !Grin .... Late reply due to being on nights I'm not normally up at this time !

happygoluckyinOz · 06/08/2013 07:45

Ah Dolly that sounds like an amazing babymoon!

I've been having a wobbly day today, thinking "do I REALLY want a baby"?! or is it just social conditioning that's catching up with me.... I like my life of doing whatever I want whenever I want!

ItsSoFluffyImGonnaDie · 06/08/2013 15:49

Ooh, Greene, a fellow September TTCer - It's not long to go now! I'll be nice to have a TTC buddy Smile

I'd not heard of SMEP in that term before, but I think we're looking at the same sort of method to try for a speedy result! I've read TCOYF and the Impatient woman's guide to getting pregnant, both are really informative. I've been temping since February now, so have a good idea what's going on. I also like the fact that we don't need to use condoms unless we're within a certain time period now, just makes me feel a bit more in control.

Now the time's getting a bit closer, it all seems so much more real and scary, but I suppose that's to be expected isn't it?

greeneone12 · 07/08/2013 07:59

Definitely scary but so very exciting! Come and join us on the 'anyone else trying from September' thread ItsSoFluffy'. Sorry can't do links!!

Impatient! That's me! Will have a look at that one.

greeneone12 · 07/08/2013 08:30

TCOYF?

ItsSoFluffyImGonnaDie · 07/08/2013 13:18

Ooh, I will!

TCOYF is Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler - it's a tome of a book but I found it really interesting! Not only does it explain everything about our bodies and cycles etc, but it details a way of hormone free contraception - charting, but to avoid pregnancy, which is what I've now been doing for about 6 months and plan to do after children too! It involves temping everyday but if you're used to symptom checking for ovulation to conceive, it just works in the reverse! Well worth a read!

ItsSoFluffyImGonnaDie · 07/08/2013 13:20

Is this the one Greene?

ItsSoFluffyImGonnaDie · 07/08/2013 13:21

Found it

dontsqueezetheteabag · 07/08/2013 13:25

Can I join??? TTC as of 21st September 2013 (after sisters wedding). I am 30 and this will be my first!

greeneone12 · 07/08/2013 13:50

Hmm ItsSoFluffy I think getting books on the subject is my limit! Just ordered my ovulation tests though.....not sure how long to wait to start testing as no idea when AF will show after ERPC!

ItsSoFluffyImGonnaDie · 07/08/2013 20:36

Oh Greene I'm so sorry to hear that you had to go through that Sad

Welcome to all new waiting to TTC'ers!

TinyTeacher · 07/08/2013 21:40

Would it be ridiculous for me to join this thread when wtttc August 2015? (Hoping to negotiation this a little earlier with DH if he gets a decent job at the end of his PhD and I've been snooping round this thread since the beginning of the last one... must be nearly a year by now!) It's been so wonderful to see so many come through this thread and get their BFPs!

ItsSoFluffyImGonnaDie · 08/08/2013 13:03

Not at all Tiny, that's what it's here for! Smile

pommedechocolat · 10/08/2013 19:41

Dh said 'we might need another bedroom' to my friends today in a conversation. Eeeee. Feels very final now we've told people we're thinking about 3. Part of me is all 'roll on Xmas' the other part is petrified!!

ExtremeCouponQueen · 11/08/2013 18:16

Hi everyone I'm the OP (have nc several times since starting the thread) am now 39 weeks pg...gulp!

dollydaydream27 · 11/08/2013 21:36

Oh wow congratulations op ! Nearly there !! Smile . I can't wait now October can't come soon enough ! My dp has wanted kids for a long time now I'm the one that has pushed for the last 'fling' to America Wink . Iv been broody since a little girl but have been waiting for the 'right time '. We currently rent a lovely place but are hoping to get on the property ladder when we get back from America so it could be a bit of a life changing year for us ! Part of me wants to wait until we get our house but who knows how long getting pregnant could take . I think we would always find something to wait until after. We want it so much just can't wait any longer !!
