DH and I have decided to TTC starting in April. We haven't exactly been preventing it, but not trying either. I had a miscarriage in October (didn't even know I was pregnant) at about 6 weeks. It was quite painful and even though I didn't know I was pregnant, once I found out it was quite emotional too. This was my second miscarriage. First one was right before I got pregnant with DD. We would like to start sooner, but I've only been with my company for about 8 months so we'd like to wait until I've been here a year before we start trying again. Plus, I had a pretty bad pregnancy (hyperemesis gravidarum that landed me in the ER) but LO was SOOOOOO worth it. I'm so excited I can barely contain myself. April needs to get here pronto! Anyone else excited to start TTC?
Re: Can't wait for April
Exciting, but I'm sure a bit nerve-wracking since you know what could be coming with TTC
I hope the next one sticks really good!
How come you picked April? For a good due date? I'm always curious, lol.
Thanks ladies! Can't share with anyone IRL because it's a secret....SHHHH
We picked April becuase in May I'll be at my new company a year and that means I'm eligible for FMLA (maternity leave). Knowing that I might be as sick as I was last time I wanted to make sure I was able to take time off if I needed it. My last company was not so accomodating, but this place is really good about that so I'm not worried here. DH and I also picked April becuase we wanted to wait for DD to be 1 and I didn't want to wait much longer in case we'd like to go for #3 (we for sure want 2, but we said we'd see how it goes with 2 before we decide on whether or not we want a 3rd). So, that's why we picked April

My first name IRL is April. I soooo keep thinking this is about me.
Congrats on your decision.
