Ok ladies, who's TTC or already preggers? :)

nahokulele · August 2012

Howdy! I've been MIA lately due to summer travels, so I'm having fun catching up. Has anybody asked this lately? Just wondering who I can be envious of! We were going to start TTC this cycle--just got my real first AF last week--but subsequently came down with shingles which means now we have to wait a little while. Argh!

So, indulge me....I will be very jealous, ha!

If you are preggers, how far along? How do you like your new birth month board?

If you are TTC, how has that been going? Are you BF'ing? Has that affected your supply?

And....go!

I just found out last week that I am pregnant. We were trying in June. My last period was June 1st but I took a few tests at the beginning of July and they were all negative so I'm not sure exactly how far along I am. If the June 1st date is correct then begining of march. I have an OB appt. on 8-22 so we will see what the doc says. I have not joined a board yet due to not knowing my official date. For the past month my supply has been decreasing dramatically, so the past week we have been weaning which is working out good. DS is sleeping better now that he is getting a full tummy at night, I think for a while there he wasn't getting enough and waking up so much to eat! I can't wait for my OB appt, then I will get really excited about the pregnancy once we know everything is ok with the pregnancy and know the dates.

Good luck TTC!

I am 14w 4 days! Due February 2. I like the February board. Its pretty chill and not much drama. This baby wasn't planned but none the less we are very excited!! I am a little nervous of having a newborn and a 13.5 month old but I think we will manage lol. I am very excited for DS to have have someone to play with and I know they will grow up to be the best of friends:) We also find out what we are having August 30th! (If baby cooperates that is) Cant wait!!

We are currently TTC, we decided to ttc for the months of July, Aug, and Sept to work around my school schedule. Right now I am only 2 days late, and last month I was 7 days late and then started my period, so I am going to wait to test until I am at least a week late if I haven't already started.

If we don't get pregnant during this window we are going to wait until next summer to try again, so hopefully it happens this time. I kind of go by whatever is meant to happen will so we'll see!

We are starting TTC this month. I was advised to wait until my little guy was 9 months old to start trying again after my c-section. We want our kids spaced close together so hoping it happens within the next 4-5 months.

I'm KU! I got my BFP on Monday (DD's 8 month birthday!) and it looks like my EDD will be April 18th. Big Smile

The April BMB seems to be pretty good so far. It's moving so fast but there's a huge influx of ladies just finding out right now. It seems to have a good mix of first time moms and 2+ moms, which I really like!

My OB said that if I wanted a chance to VBAC, I had to wait at least a year. He recommends waiting that long in general after a c-section, but said that getting pregnant sooner and scheduling a RCS would be an option, too.

AF hasn't come back yet, but all this talk of TTC is giving me baby fever!! DH and I plan to start TTC in January or February. I'm hoping for a December 2013 baby

My doctor gave us the go ahead to start trying when DD was about 5 months old. She said that she usually advises waiting until 6-8 months PP, but that a year is most ideal. I had a very easy pregnancy (aside from your typical m/s, back pain, etc.) and an excellent c/s and recovery. My doctor felt that between my age, pregnancy history, physical condition, and c/s recovery, we were okay to go ahead and TTC.

ETA: My doctor also said trying again this soon will mean a RCS for me, but we're okay with that. If I wanted to try a VBAC, we needed to wait a minimum of one year.

We are praying for a 2013 baby!

Ugh! This is giving me baby fever!!! But then I look up from my keyboard and see that I still live in a two-bedroom condo. I gotta get a house soon or I'll go crazy with baby fever!!!

KansasFarmMomma · August 2012

We are 12 weeks pregnant with #2. We asked at my 6 week PP checkup when we could start TTC again and my doc had said with how easy a pregnancy, delivery & recovery I had, we could start trying right away if we wanted. We ended up trying in March, but then I missed a cycle due to a tick related illness & then we got pregnant in may, so after 2 cycles of actively TTC. We are so excited to have them close together!

The feb BMB isn't too bad. I'm not super active on it but it's mostly drama free.

jvg6909 · August 2012

I go back and forth with this every day but we are going to start next month.

Tussie Mussie · August 2012

I'm 7weeks according to LMP, but I don't think I'm really that far along. Waiting to see if I can get a dating ultrasound to know for sure.

At my PP checkup they said they advised waiting a year after C/S, but that the risks probably wouldn't be much greater if it was earlier. However, this was a doctor I had never even seen before, and he was just giving the standard answer.

I don't like the March BMB as much as Dec yet. Right now every other post seems to be a repeat, and there is a lot of hurt feelings going around about mention of loss and what is considered "insensitive". There are a lot of 2+ moms though and quite a few also have 2U2 so I hope that as we move forward things will quiet down a bit and we can all get to know each other a little better.

jesselayne8 · August 2012

We have been TTC#2 for about 2 months. My dr advised we wait 6 months after my c/s to get pregnant. So for the first 6 months of DD life we just didnt prevent and I was EBFing. I started weaning her at 6 months and using OPKs. I am down to 1 session a day and I think I am 5dpo.

I have made an appointment with the RE on Oct 9th to start treatments again.

Congrats too!! All of these BFP are giving me baby fever

cookinitup · August 2012

We're TTC again too, but not sure how it's going to go bc I have really long 60+day cycles. If DS has his 1st bday and no #2 we'll start talking with our Dr. But this time I'm hopeful #2 will happen naturally. That being said, I can't wait to be pregnant again!
