Seriously though...we are not trying...however, it would appear we are not actively avoiding (unless you want to count the extended periods of abstinence).  And we just had the discussion again last week.

I said TTA, but trying is a strong word. More like "I think I might possibly be ovulating, so leave me alone." or "Crap! We shouldn't have done that I might be ovulating" or "I'm suuuuuure I won't ovulating for another 5 days or so, we should be good to go"

Was supposed to have a Feb. 2013 baby, but had a miscarriage on Aug. 6th. CD 1 was yesterday. Discussing what to do with DH re: TYCOON again. OB said we can try again after this cycle if everything "seems normal". DH and I haven't decided yet.

That will get you in trouble Carla!  I am proof positive.

special snowflake for me: My beta levels are still positive but declining . . .

On a positive note we met with our RE yesterday and she has good hopes for our last 2 little snowbabies. Definitely still TTC'ing.

I for sure wanted my kids to be at least two years apart. Well, that time is coming upon us and we still aren't ready financially. I'm ready emotionally though, so that's a start!

This is how DS2 came into being, since we couldn't afford my birth control perscription.  And actually DS1 was also a happy Surprise, yay for antibiotics and their affects on birth controlThis time I have the Mirena so I should be good for 5 years!  But next summer we plan to revisit the idea of having a third child.  It'd be great to have one planned pregnancy!

I love that there's a "not not trying" option on this poll. That has been us, but we're gearing up to start TTC in earnest soon. It's september! So this is the month to get KU if we want another June baby

Pregnant and almost to the point where I am over it!! I'm ready to meet my little man and to be able to move like a normal person again.

The idea of being pregnant again horrifies me. I keep thinking that if I end up pregnant again, I will have twins again!

I feel like an ass because I didn't even think of the hurt feelings this poll might cause for those who've had miscarriages or are dealing with IF.  My apologies.

I've been having twin and triplet dreams.  It scares the cr@p out of me.  I can't wait until our first u/s so I will know for sure it's just one in there.  One surprise is enough. lol 

ETA:  2 sets of twins would be insane.  One of my clinicians in vet school had 2 sets that were 2 years apart.  I don't know how she did it.

Absolutely 100% TTA. If doctors started offering elective hysterectomies, I'd be first on the list.

MommaA117

whats TTA?

We will start TTC around December so that my cerclage surgery at 13 weeks and delivery will be in the same year. Gotta love insurance rules Plus I want us to enjoy the holidays before having to start thinking about complications and stuff...

Trying to avoid.

And that's really dumb about your insurance. It makes no sense that they would have that rule!

It's not that we "cant". It's that we would have to meet our high deductable again since it re-starts at the end of the calendar year. Plus our out of pocket max is 5k and once we meet that everything is covered in full vs. only 80%. With my surgery, specialists and bi weekly ultrasounds we probably WILL meet that 5k because our co-insurance portion is 20%. Once we meet the 5k everything is covered at 100%...until that year ends... So having a baby over two calendar year spans would cost us thousands extra.

This is what I keep telling her!  Only in more of a "I hope that since you are using such terrible bc, you get pregnant again sooner rather than later" lol. 

I guess we are TTA??  We aren't currently TTC, but will be come December/January.

Yea, that makes sense. We would ideally plan similarly, except that in our case it makes the most sense to have a baby early in the year. That way, we reach our deductible with the delivery, and all pedi visits for the year are covered (if baby gets sick, well visits are covered at 100%, but sick visits cost us about $100 each). That doesn't look like it's going to happen, but it's our ideal. It's definitely more important in your case, since it sounds like the pregnancy costs for you are much higher than potential sick visits for a newborn for us.

haha I know it's definitely not a good method! I started temping but never got the hang of it, so I quit. I need to go in for an annual, but Im not even sure what I'd ask for at this point. I never had any probs with OTClo, but the mini pilled screwed with me so much I've been wary!

and one of our best friends just got pregnant while on loestrin, yikes!

march2008

TTA - DH and I are fairly certain that we're "one and done". I love my little girl more than anything, but at this time, I just can't see myself having another child. I feel like I'm constantly being asked by our family and friends when we're going to start trying for the next one and they get upset when I tell them that we may not have another.

ajc0121

I didn't read the choices clearly and thought Not Not Trying was NO not trying. Whoops. So no we are not trying and also trying to avoid!

ahh. That makes a ton of sense. Expecially since most OB's bill insurance for everything at the end. Siggggh for my complications. My cerclage surgery at 13 weeks will be about 5k at least, not including anestesia or other fees. Boo. Then again all our shots and well baby stuff is covered in full with the plan F is on. Shes only had 2 sick visits ever, for ear infectons.

Whats the option for HELL NO WERE NOT TRYING? Lol

sunshine336

Not trying here. Lots of people ask when we're having #2 and I don't have an answer.  I've yet to catch the "fever" and we really have no plans to TTC at this time.  DH deploys for 6 months after Thanksgiving, so maybe when he gets back we will revisit the possibility of another?

We are TTC and I'm very sad because I took a pregnancy test today and it was negative.

MammaG, I hope things go well for you at your ultrasound!

Lovebug, you are crazy ! I love having twins so much, but I just don't have the energy to do it again. Lately I have been running into people with multiple sets of multiples all over the place. I met a couple at the beach with two sets of twins, and a couple at the airport with three sets, all eleven years apart. I feel like the universe is sending me a message, and that message is "this could be you!"

amberpro

We were PNP, then moved to whatever happens with the plan of active TTC soon... but now DH is freaking out again.  I wish we'd just "oops" so he can realize 2 isn't going to be near as crazy stressful as he thinks.  

Andie_83

I have my trust Mirena right now, so we are TTA until further notice. As much as I would like another LO soon, a part of me wants to enjoy Z while she's this young, and I want to lavish all of my attention on her. Also, I've finally started to lose some weight so I would like to lose the final 10lbs before considering anything.

nic5606

I love the cob webs!

 Thinking about maybe TTC in october/nov. I don't know. I am so up in the air. I think it would be nice for B to have a sibling, but I am just not excited to be pregnant again and have a newborn. I am 34 though and not getting any younger, so...... who knows.
