WTTC your first or last baby!! Official chat!!!

I am currently WTTC until late 2009 however we are using the FAM (fertility awareness method) and although I am fairly confident I can follow it correctly avoiding any accidents, a accident wouldn't be the end of the world for us as it took us a year to conceive out little man!

We are planning to wait until end of summer 2009 to try again. I am anticipating it taking no more than 3 months time to fall pregnant, hopefully we get lucky, because I want my kids to be 2-2.5 years apart. Close enough to play together, but LM won't be such a baby once I have #2. If I have a boy this next time, then I am done having babies. If I have another girl, then I want to try one more time for a little boy

We are also using the fertility awareness method and withdrawal as well.

I am supposed to be waiting to lose a bit of weight first but I am probably going to be in the 2ww this month. If I do get pregnant hopefully I will still be able to go to the gym as I was so unfit last time I was pregnant. I am charting at the moment but my temps are a bit erratic, hopefully they will settle down as this is only the first cycle since having Molly!

we are waiting until kaydance is a year old, although he knows i would be happy to be pregnant now! lol. but he would like a bit more time, so we wait! hopefully i will be ttc feb or march of 09 though.

I am too waiting until end of 2009 to try for second one. Just had first period after giving birth (8 weeks post partum).
I am gonna track my periods for a while, it will be interesting to see if they return to normal ( well normal for me!!).

Yay!! that's wicked Shelly we will be #2 around the same time

I know its a while off but I am really excited about trying again, I actually really miss ttc.
Weird I know, I think its the anticipation and expectation espeically when you are following everyone elses ttc stories as well!!!

Also now that I know that I can get pregnant I am hoping it will be a happier/less stressful time next time around!!

This is it I feel completely different towards now as we know that we can conceive it is very exciting just thinking about it, but we really want to try for a girl so I am actually going to try and time things accordingly, of course i won't be heart broken should we have another boy far from it BUT it would be nice to have some pink in the house!

I bet your thinking of the shettles method!

hi
well we are also just using fertility awareness but as i am still breast feeding i havent got af yet, we are just going to see what happens, prob more activly try next year

Well I am pretty sure I have ovulated which is wicked cos it is sooner than last cycle, I really hope I can get my cycles down to a 'normal' length before we start TTC again, this was half my problem to why it took us so long to conceive in the first place.

I have been having loads of dreams recently though about being pregnant, Theo has been in the dreams so it is a different pregnancy......it's strange bcos I hadn't dreamt of being pregnant for so long, to believe that I am again and see the bump (in the dream) is strange but magical!

Lol its strange what happens when we sleep!
It will be exciting knowing you will be having another wee one, i really want another but DH doesnt. But I have told him i refuse to go on the pill etc so he has to use the protection his end. He doesnt want to so if i get preg its his fault not mine! lol and we will be keeping it.
I want a big family, i just dont feel like ive finished yet, i know it sounds selfish but i really want 4 or 5 kids, i cant imagine not having any more, id like a boy next time then a girl

Well my husband says that 2 is enough but I have my heart set on 3 children and like you Teressa I am not going back on the pill therefore he will have to take responsibilty, I would love to have a little girl next however I wouldn't be gutted if we had a boy, if he is as cute as Theo then I would feel extremely fortunate.

My cycles are on average 38 days but they have been as long as 47 days the shortest cycle I have ever had is 32 and that is what I am aiming for again! I am taking agnus castus, vit B complex and EPO to get my cycles shorter

Have you thought about taking parsley caps? I done this to regulate AF after being on depo for 2 years, it took 4 or 5 months and i was at a 28-30 day cycle.

Hehe, yep i wouldnt mind falling preg again, but DH is dead against it. but say for example it did happen and he had not taken resposibility like i said he had too, then technically thats not tricking him into it is it? I mean i would never go get preg just to fill my own selfish needs and im not lying to him by saying im on the pill when im not, so really if it happens it happens right?? understand what im saying??? its late here sort of and my words getting all muddled!!!

Its not lying tho is it????? I mean he knows that it can happen but he is not doing his part in stopping it so.....

I understand what you are saying..............I have told Rich that there are certain times he has to errrrrr withdraw :oops: otherwise we will end up pregnant again, so he knows the score, I have been honest and up front with him BUT what does he go and do?????? (I'll leave you thinking on that one!) like you have both said what happens, happens!! Of course ideally I would like to wait until late next year BUT if I did fall pregnant between now and then I would most definately keep the baby.

Well he has told me that if it happens i willl be terminating it, but like you georgi, i too have been honest with him and told him i refuse to take anything that will mess with my cycle and hormones again. I had a termination a few years ago and to this day i regret it, i know it was for the best at the time but its something i will always wonder about, i will never do that again, a baby is a blessing and finacially we can not afford it but we will find a way IF it happens

**secretly hoping it does happen in a year or so...***
