~~~Preggie Pact/TTC Check-In~~~

Where are my fellow fertiles at?

We decided to take a step back and TTA this month.  We would both totally welcome a pregnancy right now, but DS seriously just started STTN only six weeks ago and it's such a welcome relief.  It's like we can actually clock out of 24/7 parenting each evening.  I told DH that I just wanted to enjoy DS as an only child for a little while before I get KU and feel tired all the time again.  DS is at such a cool age right now.  I want to give him a little longer with my full undivided attention.

@stoneycakes I totally get your reasoning for TTA for a while.  We TTA for over 5 years after DS1.  While in hindsight I wish our kids were a bit closer in age, I'm so glad that I got all that time one on one with DS1.  Have fun enjoying that precious LO and getting your rest!!

AFM - Well we are one month closer to starting TTC.  Reduced pumping sessions at work.  Starting to get DS2 used WCM.  Both are going well.  Still no 1st PP AF and I still haven't starting temping again yet.  But I did get back into my FertilityFriend account & replace the batteries on my BBT!  DH and I have kept the communication lines open on the subject and we are both still wanting baby #3.  In fact we keep throwing things into the conversation like "Well I'm glad we bought DS2 OshKosh jeans this fall instead of the cheaper Old Navy ones.  That way if we have another baby they might still be in good shape for him/her."   DH still wants to start ASAP where I'm leaning more towards the March - July timeframe.   That would give me a few months to have my body to myself after weaning DS2 in early spring.  It would also make DS2 at little over 2 when new baby comes.

So far we have failed to end up KU so I am going to start temping this cycle...AF started 2 days ago. 
We got lucky and were PG the first cycle that I O'd our first two pregnancies, so I'm starting to think BFing is making it harder this time...but DD isn't ready to wean.  (we are starting cycle #4). 
Not even sure I've been O'ing though without temping.

Hey, nice to see you around these parts!

On what appears to be my last day of AF. I've been super bummed out, and made myself feel better because we've got a ton of stuff including interstate travel going on all month and it would have been really inconvenient dealing with beta tests and morning sickness, so I tell myself that it's better I'm not pregnant right now. I keep telling myself I'm not gonna stress about it, but then I realize that that won't ever happen. I'm major type A control freak. Damn you, biology, for not letting me control you!
