The addictable wagoners are welcoming some lovely newbies and enjoying seeing some oldies return! Thread for those waiting to ttc, those ttc now and graduates alike!

[SesHasapinkline]

Here we are on another new thread! Let's hope it's a lucky one

Jesus- that was miles longer than i thought- dont blame you all if you dont read it!!

Hi,

Not sure if I am allowed on here yet, DP and I have agreed to start ttc in the new year, or perhaps over Christmas if I have a little too much to drink and forget my pill for the last few days

A couple of questions if you don't mind?

1. When should I start folic acid?
2. Does it matter if we start ttc straight after I come off the mini pill?

TIA and tell me to bugger off and start my own thread if you think I need to.

Oh, and if I am allowed to join, this will be DC3 (plus there is DSD, so DC2 for DP)

bratnav- this was originally a thread for those waiting to ttc... just its so much fun and so blimin addictive all is PG wagoners have stuck around!!

i think the normal recommendation is to start taking something like pregnacare about 12wks before you plan to start ttc which includes all the folic acid you will need while pg too. And i think you're supposed to come off the pill 3 months before you plan to ttc so its flushed out of your system and your body can cycle naturally.

pic of the little bun in my oven is now uploaded to my profile!!

Hi Glask- great to see you are home and dont worry about the long post it was really interesting to read what happened. Sounds pretty traumatic... especially since you'd posted sometime last week about being a bit better!

Glad they've sorted you out anyway! Welcome back and enjoy your chinese.

Welcome Bratnav- as Glask says this is the right place to be - and very addictive. Somewhere there is a list of all the "wagoners" and where they are at - waiting to TTC, currently TTC or now a graduate and pregnant. The first wagon baby is due in about 9 weeks!

About the questions, I agree with what she said about coming off the pill with time to get your cycle back to normal. Also then when you do get pregnant you will know your dates better. Also 3 months or so for the folic acid is about right. Cant do any harm anyway.

Right mega post! But will find the list for you

Glask- great bean pic! Is 13 wks further ahead than you thought?

Bratnav- Here it is- feel free to add yourself on in the right bit and copy and paste it back onto the thread. Weekends are pretty quiet on here but there is more activity during the week.

Good Morning.

Welcome Bratnav I hope you enjoy yourself here. I do agree with waiting at least for 1 normal period after coming off the pill. I didn't with DS and was given about 8 different due dates. Stupid doctors!!

I woke up this morning thinking I could have a lazy day but remembered I'm working today. For the first time in about 18 months. I'm so annoyed about it too.

I hope everyone is ok and enjoying the weekend.

Morning .Welcome Bratnav - you're in the ideal place here and will be made very welcome . Fwiw, as you're on the mini-pill the rules that apply after finsihed combined pill don't really apply re: waiting to ttc. Your fertility returns within 12 hours after stopping,( or even missing one (!)) the mini pill so technically you don't need to wait . Have I convinced you? (I conceived dd1 after taking one of my mini pills three hours late!).
Well, for all my rational waiting till af late, I gave in and tested (again) this morning Woke at 4.30 and couldn't get back to sleep so with pounding heart wee'd on e-bay cheapy - line came up quicker than Weds, and also darker. Yay!! With confidence buoyed then got CB digital with conception monitor and that was also positive . According to conception monitor I am '2-3 weeks' (ie, 2-3 weeks after conception, 4-5w traditionally pregnant. According to dates, would be 2 weeks today after ovulation (af due tomorrow), so pretty accurate (although I wonder why I got 2-3 weeks rather than 1-2 weeks??). See, another thing to analyse to death!
It's lovely sunny weather here - hope everyone is enjoying their weekend

well i thought i'd be turning 13wks on monday, but my scan puts me at 13+2 today, however she only altered the date i had by 1 day, so my 'official EDD' is actually the 21st april... exactly 3 years to the day that DD was due, and she came a bit early... hope this one doesn't arrive on her birthday!!

GYo- i did think i had the sickness under control... as it wasn't anywhere near as bad as it had been with DS, i would be sick a couple of times in a morning, skip breakfast, manage a bit of lunch, and then i'd normally pick at my dinner and then be sick or not have any at all... so really even though i wasn't being sick so much i wasn't eating enough either. so when the sickness hit me on weds i had nothing in me to begin with. I'm now a lot thinner than i was pre-pregnancy, and am still showing just as much as i was at 11/12wks... in a way i'm sort of hoping i can keep the weight off and it'll help me slim down after the birth.

Kay- how odd you woke up thinking you were off- i never did that when i was working, but i can imagine what a disappointment it must be!!

I had weird dreams last night about spending all DH's bonus money!! He's due to get it in his next months pay, we're fixing/replacing the boiler (whatever needs doing) and then DH is taking me shopping- we're going to buy the kids some more toys for xmas (i dont know why as we're already finished, but hey ho!!) and get me some more maternity clothes, and to find a pair of nice trainers for DH... think we're going to Cheshire Oaks for that... But i dreamt i went out and spent nealry all of it and came home with £300 left to fix the boiler and DH wasn't happy!!haha!!

wow Diege- i must have missed your positive testing!!! I was a day under 4 weeks actually pregnant when i tested with CD digital with the dating thingy and it said 1-2, so it may just be that you are only a day over 4 weeks or something... or maybe you have a very strong pg hormone (aren't hormones normally V V strong in PG after a MC??- or am i imagining that useless fact??)

Just altering my official EDD.

morning - feel refreshed after a bath and a lie in

off to asda in a min going to get food bits and xmas cards plus paper

glas so glad that you r out and better u take care

welcom brat - i started taking folic when we started trying
we starting trying stright after coming off the combined pill and i got pregnant within 3 months went to be extra fertile after pill dont know if that is the same for the mini pill

Thanks Tinks, that's really useful . Have started a thread to fuel my paranoia anyway .
Wow Xmas cards TINKS You are organised!

Well I think we will just have to see what happens, my cycle when I am not on a pill is so erratic that it probably wont make a difference anyway.

Very excited about ttc, I was worried that I had nudged DP into it, but after we had a conversation yesterday where I ended up saying (genuinely) that I wasn't sure I wanted to ttc due to PND with DD1, he convinced me back saying he really really wants a child together (our 3 DDs are with ex-spouses). All systems go for the new year then.

Bratnav- i still feel i nudged DH into ttc!! He will have days where he says something and i'll take it the wrong way thinking he means he wished we weren't pg or something.

But seeing his face light up at the scan on friday proved to me that he wanted this baby just as much as i did!!

Diege- i just said to DH how organised tink is with xmas!! I thought i was organised, but i never normally wrap the kids presents till xmas eve!! haha!! cards normally get written then only half handed out!! i'm good at the buying but not at the wrapping- i really have to be in the mood when i have a million things to wrap!!

right i'm off for the day i think... Hoping to bid on a bouncy chair on ebay this morning, then maybe going for a wander round the local park and feeding the ducks, but not sure if i'm up to it... i'm currently sat in my knickers and a cardi and can't be bothered to make a move and get dressed properly!!

Hi all

Sorry Glask and La Tour for all you have been through!

Just a quick post - BRATNAV I came off the minipill straight away with advice from my doctor as the mini pill (progesterone only) does not effect pregnancy therefore you dont need to have three month wait before ttc.
Just a word of warning - i came off and conceived within 6 weeks! Apparently there is fertility surge when you come off!

Got PIL coming do need to tidy up but will try get on later!

Hello!
Diege - think we may be able to help and reassure each other over coming weeks. The "paranoia" you describe is exactly how I've been feeling. I guess we have to accept that after mc (or mmc in our cases) we will be even more worried than normal. I find it such a shame that I haven't really started to enjoy or get excited about this pregnancy yet. I'm really starting to think I just need to accept that I'm going to be this way and get on with the over analysing! Let's over analyse together!

Bratnav - welcome

Glaskham - great to have you back!

LaTour - incase you're lurking, thinking of you

Just had another slice of chocolate cake. There's more going if anyone wants some?!

That would be great SES . As you can no doubt tell from this mornings 'new' worry about 'weeks' on CBD conception thingy, I am lurching from one worry to the next . A day ago it was too little hcg, now it's too much . Yes pass over choccy cake please, it's much needed . I think I'll go and and read our worry book - the effects were short-lived!

BTW dh was distinctly underwhelmed this morning when I waved the CBD and cheapy test under his nose at 5am . Then he proudly annouced to me at around 10am that he'd worked out that I would be due sometime in June. Like I hadn't known that from the first day of last af

Bless DHs! They try but really have no idea how much we obsess think about all this in every minute detail!

Choccie cake winging it's way over to you, Diege

FWIW, we both had v faint lines to begin with but then we did both test v early. My CB conception indicator showed 3-4 weeks when it might have only showed 2-3. Maybe we both did have a small amount of HCG left or maybe our bodies clicked into producing it more easily....??!
