May 13 BOTB/TTGP?

smg2302 · March 2014

Hi Ladies. I'm not sure if anyone else is TTGP or BOTB, but I thought maybe we could do a weekly check in for progress? I know there are the community boards, but I feel a little overwhelmed sharing this information and having to re-intro, etc. Anyone else in?

blush64 · March 2014

I would check in although for me it is BOTB because I won't be TTC for a while. I was supposed to start in May, then the fall and now I have no idea.

I love to hear about all the pregnancies. I would love to be there too.

telicious2 · March 2014

I have BOTB but won't TTGP until fall 2015 or early 2016.

I would check in with support for everyone else TTGP.

jillnnate · March 2014

I would like that. I lurk on the June 2014 board and don't like that one as much as May 2013 even though I don't post here very often either.

emmy236 · March 2014

I'd definitely check in to support others and I do have BOTB. We're not TTC until this fall per dr orders which I'm happy about but I love hearing about all the ladies that are already KU!

caden1206 · March 2014

We are TTC right now.

pnutg · March 2014

Im going to sound like an idiot. BOTB?

SaguaroBlossmom · March 2014

Baby on the brain

pnutg · March 2014

You guys rock. Thanks. I have BOTB. Im just scared to get pregnant right now and be sicK all summer:(

fancefpp · March 2014

We are starting to talk about #3. I still don't have AF back yet though.

smg2302 · March 2014

I'm glad to see we have interest support! So here is my first round of questioning:

1. Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP/Already Pregnant/AMMWIAPBOS (Awesome May Mom who is Actively Preventing But Offering Support)? I suppose we will shorten that last one later.

2. What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)? Are you doing anything to come off?

3. Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances?

4. What did you do with LO to get KU?

Please suggest questions as well.

lizziebooper · March 2014

I have BOTB all the time but due to placenta acreta causing me to need a full hysterectomy I can't fulfill my desire for another

So I guess I will have to live with snuggling the babies of my nieces/nephews and friends.

We were lucky with our first 2 when we decided it was time I went off the pill and was pregnant after 1 cycle with DS and 2 cycles with DD1. We did have an early miscarriage betweed DD1 and DD2 but were pregnant with DD2 one one cycle later.

Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP/Already Pregnant/AMMWIAPBOS (Awesome May Mom who is Actively Preventing But Offering Support)?Already pregnant-12w4d
What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)?
We used condoms, every time
Are you doing anything to come off?
N/A
Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances?
N/A
What did you do with LO to get KU?
This time, nothing. Just happened.
Last time, I basically turned myself upside down after sex getting to give the swimmers a good chance. It worked.

motang · March 2014

1. Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP/Already Pregnant/AMMWIAPBOS (Awesome May Mom who is Actively Preventing But Offering Support)?
I guess I am BOTB/NTNP

2. What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)? Are you doing anything to come off?
Right now my prevention is abstinence. I have zero drive. I'd rather not get KU this cycle because I would be due around Christmas and I already have a December baby so I guess abstinence will continue.

3. Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances?
Starting next cycle I'll break out the OPKs. I probably can't chart since LO still doesn't STTN.

4. What did you do with LO to get KU?
OPKs, charting

jesselayne8 · March 2014

1. I have major BOTB and I can't believe it. We will not TTC until late July/early Aug.
2. Mostly abstinence but pull and pray on the rare occasion we get busy.
3. Once my cycle returns I will start charting.
4. Charting and OPKs for #2. IUI and lots of drugs for #1.

smg2302 · March 2014

1. Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP/Already Pregnant/AMMWIAPBOS (Awesome May Mom who is Actively Preventing But Offering Support)? I suppose we will shorten that last one later.

BOTB and TTC starting in June.

2. What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)? Are you doing anything to come off?

I just stopped BC (NuvaRing) and want a couple of normal cycles before we try.

3. Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances?

I don't understand how to chart, I guess do it more.

4. What did you do with LO to get KU?

HIO mid cycle.

Please suggest questions as well.

blush64 · March 2014

1. Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP/Already Pregnant/AMMWIAPBOS
I think for now I am BOTB and the last option.

2.What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)
We used Natural Family Planning-the Fertility Awareness Method. It is the only thing that has really worked for me. I got pregnant more than once using hormonal methods, not to mention the other issues. I am currently using a barrier method because I have not had a period yet, no cycles I am aware of yet. Well, honestly most of the time we just aren't having sex. That seems to work really well

Are you doing anything to come off?
When it is time, I will be charting again.

3.Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances?
I will be charting. I really liked the control and awareness charting allows me.

4.What did you do with LO to get KU? With my oldest I got pregnant while properly using birth control. With the second I did not do anything special. With A I charted. Edit I guess I didn't actually do anything special.

I had several miscarriages and a late loss before I had A.

Please suggest questions as well.

emmy236 · March 2014

1.Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP
-BOTB- cannot get pregnant per doc's orders for at least 12 months and ideally at least 18. We will start right around 18 depending on when I'm ovulating. I had an emergency c section that needed a bigger incision and had my cervix surgically cut. They want to make sure everything is ok.

2.What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)
- I have the paragard IUD

3.Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances?
- will have IUD taken out at my yearly appointment in September. Then I will use an ovulation kit to see when I'm ovulating and go from there.

4.What did you do with LO to get KU?
- got really drunk. We have weekly BBQs with the neighbors in the summer. Next door is on the April 13 board because she used the same technique.

telicious2 · March 2014

@OLJ1010 My DH has also said he has super sperm! Lol.

1. Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP/Already Pregnant/AMMWIAPBOS (Awesome May Mom who is Actively Preventing But Offering Support)? AMMWIAPBOS

2. What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)? Are you doing anything to come off?
Mirena IUD and it's staying put

3. Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances?
N/A

4. What did you do with LO to get KU?
Charted, temped, looked for EWCM, and used OPKs.

-Another possible question would be how long it took TTC before you got KU before?
It took about a year to get KU with LO.

BOTB/AMMWIAPBOS lol actively preventing

2. What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)? Are you doing anything to come off?
Mirena IUD, hopefully in two years we can TTC but right now it's not the right time.

3. Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances?
N/A
4. What did you do with LO to get KU?
Had sex and kind of charted.

bhjones1980 · March 2014

1. Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP/Already Pregnant/AMMWIAPBOS? We are actively TTGP

2. What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)? Are you doing anything to come off? the only prevention method was still BFing, just got my AF back in January, in my third cycle right now.

3. Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances? yes, charting BBT, using OPKs

4. What did you do with LO to get KU? Nothing, went off BC and got pregnant on the first month trying

bhjones1980 · March 2014

I am charting without STTN, I just temp at the same time every night, he is pretty consistent with his waking patterns so I temp around 3/3:30am when he wakes me up before I go feed him. That is the time I have slept the longest stretch (around 3 hours).

yeah our sleeping lives suck huh? it is weird that sleeping 3 hours seems the norm

telicious2 · March 2014

Question suggestion- fun GTKY following the regular questions.

JoJo716 · March 2014

1. Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP/Already Pregnant/AMMWIAPBOS (Awesome May Mom who is Actively Preventing But Offering Support)? NTNP but really want to wait until summer at least.

2. What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)? Are you doing anything to come off? No bc but definitely abstinence lol.

3. Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances? Not yet this time around.

4. What did you do with LO to get KU?
I charted for almost 8 months! I think for the next one, when we are ready, I will just use opk's first and see how that goes and then chart if necessary.

pnutg · March 2014

1.BOTB and I'm a supporter! I want to start trying July or August, so I'm not (possibly) sick all summer. I had terrible morning sickness and pray it's different next time!

2. I started taking a bc pill in Jan because of severe pains probably caused by endo. Pull and pray has always worked for us.

3. N/A

4. I didn't do anything other than have sex when I assumed I was ovulating.

MamaMD · March 2014

1. Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP/Already Pregnant/AMMWIAPBOS (Awesome May Mom who is Actively Preventing But Offering Support)? I suppose we will shorten that last one later.

I have BOTB but am actively preventing (and offering support) at this point. I don't want to try for #2 until LO is around 2. DH is still on the fence about #2 so there's that too!

2. What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)? Are you doing anything to come off?

I was on the regular pill before this LO. Now I BF and am on the mini-pill. Still haven't gotten AF yet.

3. Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances? N/A

4. What did you do with LO to get KU?

I had very regular periods so just estimated when I would be ovulating and then DTD every day for 4-5 days around that time.

smg2302 · March 2014

NTNP is not trying not preventing. Thanks for all the feedback ladies. I'll keep up the checkins on Tuesdays.

snowgirl427 · March 2014

1. We are TTC.. No luck yet but I am hopeful!

2. N/A

3. Ummm. We are DTD.

. I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility years ago, changed to sub fertility since I had LO. It's hard for me to get pregnant so I'm just DTD every other day. Hopefully that does the trick over the next few months.

4. What did you do with LO to get KU?

Please suggest questions as well.

aintnoyuppiemom · March 2014

1. Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP/Already Pregnant/AMMWIAPBOS (Awesome May Mom who is Actively Preventing But Offering Support)? I suppose we will shorten that last one later.

BOTB-unfortunately I will just have to keep hoping to give my LO the sibling I never had until our job situation is resolved.

2. What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)? Are you doing anything to come off?

We are doing the old high school-pull out method. this worked for us for four years. I have taken BC right after LO was born but I do not like taking them for to long since my grandmother died of ovarian cancer (There have been studies linking the two.)

3. Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances?
N/A

4. What did you do with LO to get KU?
We talked about trying and the next month I was KU (big shock). We thought we would have fun for a few months trying and then get Dr's help since H's sibling hasn't been able to have a child of their own. We thought infertility would be a problem for us so we were prepared for that. We were very lucky.

I have a question for others for their may LO's and everyone TTC or already KU.

5. How did you tell your families for this LO. and How would you (or have you) told familes about the next LO?

I made a huge a mistake with current LO. I texted my mom (whoops) then she posted it on her facebook (whoops) and that's how my IL's found out. (Whoops) I hope to do the future one with a little more grace. The way I really want to do it is wait until we find out what we are having then make DS a shirt that says "I am going to be a big brother to a little (sister/brother)" and take them out to dinner and reveal the shirt.

mslynn2012 · March 2014

1. Already pregnant. Nov 14

2. Nothing. We wanted kids close in age. AF came back in December, then once in February and then BFP last week!

3. Nope

4. Just had sex. No charting/temping/anything.

Kissimi21 · March 2014

1. Are you BOTB/TTC/NTNP/Already Pregnant/AMMWIAPBOS (Awesome May Mom who is Actively Preventing But Offering Support)? I suppose we will shorten that last one later.

I am AMMWIAPBOS. 3u3 is enough for now...unless we win the lottery, then I will be bugging DH for 1 more.

2. What was/is your prevention method (BC/Rythym, etc.)? Are you doing anything to come off?

We have 3 under 3, that's enough to kill anyone's sex life. Other than being too tired to DTD, I am on BC (didn't work last time) and pulling out.

3. Are you charting or doing anything to improve your chances?
N/A

4. What did you do with LO to get KU?
Looking back, I must have puked up a pill. I was TTA, taking the pill religiously, and still nursing DS1. I got the flu, felt better for a few days, then thought I got one hell of a relapse which turned into a BFP. The only thing I can think of that could be responsible for conceiving is the time I coughed so hard that I threw up. So I either puked up a pill, or the universe has one hell of a sense of humor.

MrsM1111 · March 2014

1. TTC

2. We were pulling out after I stopped the mini pill in July (was having a bad reaction to it)

3. Charting

4. We were ntnp (were planning to TTC the following month)

snowgirl427 · March 2014

We didn't tell a single person until about 9 weeks along. We got a frame for my parents that said "my grandkid is a dog." We put a pic of the dogs and photoshopped "until may 2013". It took them a few mins to get it.

For dh's family, we were at my SILs wedding. We got them a family tree pic frame that we gave them the next morning. We had pics of everyone and below us added the first ultrasound pic.

smg2302 · March 2014

I couldn't keep a damn secret. We were planning to wait until the end of the first tri, but we called our moms the day we found out. By eight weeks, everyone knew. There as nothing creative, just me blurting it to anyone who would listen. I imagine that next time I will try to get more creative, but I'm not sure that's happening.

emmy236 · March 2014

We told immediately family after our first ultra sound and we had to tell our friends because we have cocktails every weekend and I wasn't drinking. We live in another state from the vast majority of our friends and family so we waited until Thanksgiving and then put on Facebook "this year we have one more thing to be thankful for" with the ultrasound picture.

Now if you want to talk about a classy way to announce it you can be like my MIL who announced SIL's pregnancy and subsequent elopement at my baby shower in front of my entire family and friends.

aintnoyuppiemom · March 2014

MOtownMama OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

LaxMOM44 · March 2014

We've been trying for a month just waiting to either POAS or cry when I get my period. Considering we didn't time the sex well, I doubt I will be getting a BFP this month. But nbd it's our first month trying.

We need to have boys so we can get some marriages arranged.

This sounds like a great idea but you need to invite all of 2013 to the double wedding.

watuzzigal · March 2014

What? I didn't know you were TTC--and then DID, Shank! I've been MIA lately.

Congrats to all of you! And good luck to the rest who are trying!

smg2302 · March 2014

Wait, we're arranging marriages? Can we make profiles for our babies so we can better choose their mates?

MAdams728 · March 2014

1. We have been NTNP. Next cycle we will be actively TTC again.

2. The first 6 months PP we used condoms. Then withdrawal, now nothing.

3. Next cycle we plan to really start actively TTC instead of NTNP, and I'll start with OPK's.

4. I didn't do anything but have sex the first couple of months trying with DD, and then the first month that I tracked and used an OPK, we were successful. Hopefully it will be that easy again!
