I can feel the crazy creeping in...

Hi! Dh and I have been discussing TTC this year for DC2. We have DS who is 3 and is our rainbow baby after 3 MC and sadly one more after having him.

After the 4th MC I categorically said no more and that I want to just thank our lucky stars that we got DS out of all the heartbreak. However as time has gone on I feel more emotionally ready to put myself through the stress and potential fall out of TTC again. We always wanted more than one and i would like to give it a go.

I've had my coil removed recently for unrelated reasons but we are defo not trying yet as I will need Cyclogest from ovulation to be able to stay pregnant if we were lucky enough to conceive. We talked about TTC at the end of the summer maybe.

I know its months away but the past few weeks i've found myself here, on conception and tracking my cycle again. I have got excited to look at squinters, straining my eyes to see lines on other people's tests and i can feel the craziness creeeeeeeping back in....!

I was a neurotic mess with previous pregnancies (with good reason I think!) and I would like to feel more positive this time.

Anyone else in the same boat? Anyone else thinking about TTC this year / already TTC but trying to keep the crazy at bay?!

Hi yep DS is 3 and we are wanting TTC this year, i have already ordered my ovulation sticks from amazon and keep reading all the TTC boards and getting excited and scared for the crazy. It took us two and half years to conceive DS, hoping to be quicker this time.

Almost the same for us, 2 years and 3 miscarriages.

Exciting times for both of us! I haven't ordered opks yet but i do have a stash of cheapie preg tests in the drawer still...!

Just coming out the other side of this, DC2 due in 8 weeks! After a hideous pregnancy and birth with DC1 I swore never again. Then, when he was 2.5, I became pregnant by accident and lost it at 11 weeks. After that I was full on baby crazy again. I had two chemicals after that, and finally a BFP in early Oct! Pregnancy has been awful, again, and I will be getting a Mirena fitted ASAP after the birth to prevent any more!

I love how all our usernames so far relate to food or drink.

Best of luck @Jamoncrumpets - 8 weeks will fly. Well actually it wont. 7 weeks will fly and then the 8th will last about a month....!

Im so sorry about your miscarriages, and hope you have a great time TTC and a completely boring pregnancy!
Oh i need to get my stash of pregnancy tests too.
When are you going to start to try? I will keep a look out for you on the boards. We are going to start about august, im feeling exicted just thinking about it.

@fizzytonicplease - thank you x

Thanks i would like that too!

I think about August maybe September? We've just moved house and I need to register with a new doctor and persuade them to prescribe me cyclogest (Progesterone pessaries - vom) so once i have them then its all systems go! I will keep an eye out for you too! I wasnt on MN with my last pregnancies but the forum i used doesnt exist anymore so here i am.... :)

@whiteonesugar Same here, i didnt use or even know about mumsnet during my last pregancy, so looking forward to having other people to talk to and support.
