Waiting to TTC next month!

[gizmosslave]

Hi!

Is there anyone else who is waiting to TTC until next month? Support thread here if needed! Would be nice to speak to some others during the wait!

we’ve been together 5 years and get married in June!

@HJWT I have no doubt I would post that too - fingers crossed for you!!!

@thosethreewords thank you 🥰

I took my pregnacare with Bailey's hot chocolate last night - does it still count 😂😂

Hi All,

On holidays last July DP wanted me to stop taking the pill straight away. I got such a fright I said wait until next year. I booked a holiday for April and timed it that I will be off pill and finished AF by the time we went away.

When I got used to the idea (in October) I wanted to come off the pill straight away (this was before I went to the doc to get new prescription) In turn DP got a fright. After I spent €100 on doc and pill he said not too go back on, too late. lol

I am going skiing with my sis in Jan, I am staying on the pill until then as I need to delay AF by a few days or else I will have it when I am away.

I know we aren't quite TTC from Jan, but I am getting ready for it then. Lol I am so excited / scared all at the same time. That is why I came on here, I need support.

BF1 love kids, doesn't want her own. BF2 preparing for IVF so I feel bad talking to her. One close friend wants kids, in about 5 or 10 years. Another close friend got pregnant after one night stand so not great to be talking to about all the planning etc. Can't talk to my mam as I will have my family ringing asking when I am due before I even conceive (she can't keep a secret to save her life) lol

I hope all goes well for all the lovely ladies here!!!

@user1474968530 I told my DH not to tell my mum that I'm removing my implant in the next few days because I didn't want the pressure of people asking ' are you pregnant yet ' then DH tells my mum in front of everyone at a family party yesterday he said he was trying to make conversation & totally forgot I'd asked him 😂 bloody idiot, we are all here if you need a chat, I remember the first time planning to remove my implant and being scared! Just make sure you take vitamins at least a month before trying xx

@user1474968530 Talk to us! We all know what it feels like here :)
My best friend will be going through IVF next year and I'm nervous about the possibility that a failed IVF cycle for her could coincide with a BFP for me. But I know she would be happy for me whatever.

@HJWT Unbelievable about your DH!! What an idiot! Glad you can see the funny side.

@koalaby I’m sure your friend would be happy for you, if she is desperate to have a baby she will no and understand the feelings your having whilst trying :)

@Koalaby luckily for him I don't think anyone took any notice !!

I’ve barely taken the pill this month and we have been dtd quite a bit.. if it happens it happens!

@gizmosslave hopefully 🤞 I’m on my last cycle before coming off the pill and I can’t wait!

@HJWT I'm same have a DD who is 3 at end of Jan would really like baby #2 before she is 4!

@MummyBearBoo if i get pregnant this cycle baby will be due end of sept and depending in GD will probably have to come beginning of September on DD birthday 😩

Hi ladies, can I tentatively join you?

We have an almost 1 year old DD and have spent the past month going back and forth between TTC for #2 soon or waiting so that she'd qualify for free childcare before #2 would need the nursery hours. We went away for the night over Xmas (our first night away together since DD was born) and decided, a bit drunkenly, that we 60% wanted to start trying now and so ditched the condoms. I think it was too late for my ovulation this month so will be trying in January.

I'm kind of unsure about TTC, sounds a bit odd cos I'm posting here and saying we will be/are. I think I'd regret not trying rather than trying iyswim. Having DD has made me very aware of how short life is.

@hodgeheg92 welcome to the gang! That's a sweet story! I hope I am fortunate enough to have a DC who makes me feel that way xx

Well guys! It’s jan!

@gizmosslave yeah I am still waiting on a positive OPK 🙄 x

OPK are stressing me out!

Happy new year ladies! I hope to hear about lots of positives soon!

I think we're taking a play it by ear approach - I'll be tracking ovulation but seeing how we feel each month to actively try. I'm thinking a few months down the line, at least that way I can get end of year salary/bonus again as I don't know how that will all work if I go on maternity before then. I don't know if I'm 100% ready to go for it, still nervous about taking that step!

@gizmosslave same here 😩

I'm still waiting for a positive OPK too. I had a faint line the first day I tested but I've had no line at all since then. Does that mean anything or do I just concentrate on getting a positive?

@Bluebell9 what CD are you on?

@HJWT CD 19

@Bluebell9 same as me! I still havnt had a certain positive and iv been testing 3x a day 😩 some people don't get a positive though till CD21 x

@HJWT fingers crossed we both get a positive soon!
I've only been testing once a day, should I be testing more?
