[insert imaginative thread title here] - sanity for those waiting to TTC (part 3)

[dottydally]

New thread ladies! @PastaSauceHoarder @Goostacean @Barker26 @crazychemist @DoveGreylove @springsummerautumnwinter can't remember who else to tag.

I know @cupcakesandglitter has linked us to a new thread but I'm not sure I am strong enough to be surrounded by those TTC already!

Hi lovelies! I know I'm TTC now but hope you don't mind me randomly stalking in the background to see how you're all getting on? I'm rather attached to you all bashful smile xx

@rollerskaterdata you are always welcome to stalk from afar - and pop in and say hi! I often think about how you are getting on and may browse the TTC threads to see. If only we all lived closer!

I'm still waiting too

Sorry! @Jelliestogether. It wouldn't let me switch between threads so I think I've forgotten lots of people

Hi Everyone - I have found you again :)

I'm really not doing well on thread creation duties. Glad you found us @Pinkroseuk! Is there anyone else I need to tag?

Thank you for adding me :) I am still waiting until October! I am also not strong enough to be around the TTCers ;)

@dottydally that's ok! I just commented so I could keep up to date with everyone too! Thanks for setting up the new thread!

Hi all!
So glad I was tagged in this! Thank you @dottydally !
Sorry for being MIA my sister got married on Saturday so been busy busy helping her prep!
How are we all? My sisters wedding was the last "event" of the summer so just NYC to look forward to on 6th Dec then ready to start TTC!

Hi All! I'll check in from time to time to see how you're all getting on x

Checking in, thanks so much for the new thread @dottydally! 💛

Ahh thats so exciting, @Barker26! How was your sisters wedding?

Shall we do a reminder to when we're going to start TTC and why we're waiting again? For those newbies who might want to join in too!

@Barker26 I love weddings! Did it all go well?

Good idea @PastaSauceHoarder.

Dotty:
Age - 23 (24 in November), DP 26
TTC - #1
Waiting until - January 2019
Reason for waiting - I'm holding out for a big promotion which will be announced in December!

Awh it sounds like it was magical, @Barker26! I especially like the ditching of hymns for those songs haha, sounds like they really had their own personal touch on their special day.
Its my brothers wedding next month (my first time ever being a bridesmaid!) and I'm looking forward to that. Haven't been to many weddings but I love them!

Pasta -
Age: 22
DH Age: 25 (in December)
TTC #2
Waiting until: November
Reason for waiting: Want to avoid having another June baby!

@dottydally Thanks for the new thread! I can’t handle a year of daily watching of others trying and getting their BFPs... 😂

I looooove weddings!! Congratulations to your sister and her new DH, @Barker26

Goose
Age: 27, can’t believe I’m the oldest so far! Keep hearing about mums being 35+ these days!
TTC#2: sibling to DS 6mo, will start TTC June 2019 at the earliest.
Reasons for waiting: many! Largely the advice to leave 18ms between pregnancies, plus my job that I will only be returning to in April.

Hi there! Lovely new shiny thread :-)

Crazy
Age: 31 (hope that makes you feel better goose!)
Ttc#2 (DD1 nearly 2)
Reason for waiting: can't afford maternity leave until we've sorted out a few things. Hoping to ttc just before Christmas, another September baby would be ideal.

Gosh I think I'm the youngest.
Anyway its lovely seeing all the regulars on the new thread! As @rollerskaterdata said, I'm also getting quite attached to you all.

Just finished work so thought I would pop and say hi!

Pink
Age -25 DH 27
TTC #1
Waiting for my AF to arrive!
Reason for waiting - came off pill March 2017 still no sign of AF without having to take tablets- doctors won't help much till lost 30-40kg!

TMI question: if I have just finished my period (CD7), do we think I can have sex with no condom? Using pull out method too..

Do you know which day you normally ovulate, @dottydally? I THINK you should be okay, but I remember reading that sperm and can survive inside you for up to five days (though don't quote me!).

@PastaSauceHoarder previously it's been around CD15, but I've had a couple of longer cycles so around CD17/18. Condoms are awful!

I think you'd be okay to go without a condom at this point in your cycle then.

We've been using the pull out method too, husband knows the dangers but he doesn't like condoms so he won't go and get them. 🙄

@PastaSauceHoarder I'm glad it's not just us. I feel like they ruin it in so many ways, but DP hates them much more than me! How long have you been doing that for?

I would think you would be okay @dottydally.
We feel the same - DH bought a box once used about two and gave the rest to his brother 😂 he's refused to buy any since!

Oh yeah they're bloody horrible - I can't actually remember the last time we used them. I feel they do tend to ruin 'the moment' really.
I had my coil out almost two months ago now and we've just been using the pull out method since then.

How has everyone's day been? I'm super happy because I finally got a lovely clear positive on todays ovulation strip. Feels like I'm finally gaining some insight into my own body.
