TTC ladies

..... not me.... definitely not me.... I'm just nosy

I know we had a couple that were already trying and several who were thinking about it.

TTC girls, where ya at? How's it going? Are you temping/using OPKs and all that or just winging it?

For those not actively TTC, do you have an idea of when/if you want to try for another?

Go on and share!

steprozz · September 2014

I wish I was TTC right now!!! but sadly we have to wait. we are going to hopefully get KU the summer after B turns two, we are aiming for a March/April '17 baby if anyone wants to plan with us so we can be in the same BMB again!

@saltylovely‌ I'm looking at you LB

elsa1688 · September 2014

We are planning on TTC next august/sept. So another may/June 2016 baby

katekat8721 · September 2014

We're thinking of transferring (one) embie next summer so we'd have a spring baby. That should give me a year to BF and then a few months to get my hormones back to some semblance of normal. I don't want to go through another 100+ degree summer with a newbie, and having a newbie in fall/winter scares me.

We'd still like another 2 kids at least but I really want to experience a singleton pregnancy!

JulieSmiles · September 2014

I would like to start trying when DD is around 18 months. That would give us a fall '16 baby. I don't really want to be super pregnant during the summer though and as a teacher, it was nice having the whole summer home.

RedMar · September 2014

I loved having LO at the end of the school year. I think we will shoot for a spring 2016 babe next time around as I plan to take the following year off to be home w both babes. It's hard bc I want to cherish the time I have with LO but I would like him to have a sibling close in age. Anddddd yes it's crazy we are already thinking about this!

mtrhomegirl · September 2014

Plan is to have another one around spring of 2016:) Loved having one at the end of the school year since i have a 1st grader and it was nice to have the summer months to not be rushed in the morning with the school routine and by the time school started LO was a little more consistent with her sleeping. Also another reason is i have maternity clothes i would like to reuse and if we have another girl (that would be 3!!) both older girls were born in May/June so lots of hand me downs!!!

katekat8721 · September 2014

Lots of potential spring '16 babies, woot woot!

Taymiller · September 2014

Yup spring or summer of 2016 is our plan.

irenewslee · September 2014

We will probably try again next year around dec when DD is 18 months old. My OB told me it's best to wait for 18 mos for the body to fully recover. I had some pp complication right after delivery so a full recovery is necessary.

AandJ28 · September 2014

We always said "one and done" but now that we have her we have talked about a sibling. I got a script for bc at my 6 week appt but haven't filled it yet. I'm not temping or using opks but am tracking my cycle. We are in the "if we're gonna do it, let's just do it now" camp. Who knows. Some days I think that I still only want Chloe and other days I think that I want another.

jenlynne0624 · September 2014

Hopefully starting at 18 months next year too.

rainbowdashh · September 2014

Early spring '17 for us! I can't have another age gap as close as I have now or I'll end up in an institution. So right after W turns two, we'll start trying.

@steprozz‌ we can be LBs then too!

JujuB22 · September 2014

We thought we would be done, but after some discussion realized we will try again, maybe try for a Junebug in 2016. Fingers crossed third times a charm and that the future baby stays put til due date.

I'm now in mission mode trying to figure out how to budget and save money so we can get a bigger house and I can hopefully have longer maternity leave

Its a nice goal to have. SO FREAKIN" EXCITED!!!

curlylocks3 · September 2014

Planning to do our final FET in summer/fall 2016, so being due spring or summer 2017. I'm hoping if my uterus only has one inhabitant it will behave itself a bit better and I a) won't be on bedrest and b) will make it to term.

flerlgirl · September 2014

We're all done.

Of course, I said that after DS.

steprozz · September 2014

duh @skamber‌!! we will run that board.

sm623 · September 2014

We will most likely start TTC next summer for an April/May/June 2016 baby. Since I'm a teacher, I'm hoping to deliver a few weeks before summer vacation starts to maximize my time with the baby.

ElTrain5 · September 2014

DH is still too shell shocked from this one to be approached about #2. Plus we need to have the basement project in sight before we can really think about it. I'll wait at least until next June to seriously discuss it. I really miss ttc and pregnancy and newborns though. I think...sort of.

ElTrain5 · September 2014

But seriously...I can't imagine going through this again with another BMB....can we all just stay here with our second/third/fourth??

lest12 · September 2014

I haven't gotten a period yet (ebf) So I'm going to start taking temps and doing opk's next week to figure out if I'm ovulating. We'll start TFAS after we figure that out.

I'd say we were NTNP right now, but I suppose we'd need more sex for that status! #notreallyfunny

chloephoebecali · September 2014

I would totally go for #4 but Dh isn't as sure. I feel some pressure because he has always said he wanted be done by 40 and that leaves me less than two years. I have a 4,3, and 3 month old. I'm certain friends and family would think we were absolutely nuts. My last pregnancy was crappy as far as symptoms and that is a major reason I'm not pushing too hard. No bc, though. Things are crazy with the three but somehow I manage and we are all generally happy (aside from DD's colic). I love having my first two 19 months apart.

b48kate · September 2014

We were pretty well convinced we were one and done. That has changed as the husband seems to have soften considerably on the idea of a second. We are old and the biological clock is ticking away. That's too bad, because in a perfect world I would have these kids four years apart. We are thinking of TTC around Jan-Feb of 2016 for a late Fall 2016 baby. The timing is strategic because A) I'll have accrued enough paid leave to be out for five months (like I have this time) and;

I will be on leave for all the winter holidays (so I don't have to work them). I also have not enjoyed the postpartum hormone fluctuations in the heat...

diagonalley · September 2014

I'd like a March '16 baby so probably will start trying next May/June since it took two cycles this time. I'm in the ready to budget for a longer ML camp

3 weeks left and I have zero desire to go back.

jshrop · September 2014

I love y'all but you may be nuts! Still one and done here, but would live to see everyone stay for subsequent babies here

lest12 · September 2014

I definitely plan on taking a longer maternity leave next time.

Also, I think I sound crazier than I am, trying so soon. But it took a year to conceive this little guy... I'll be 33 in a few weeks... so I feel like we should get started again but I'd also be shocked if it happened quickly.

Pahialii · September 2014

I really want my kids to be 2 years apart but DH is thinking more along the lines of 4-5 years apart so I'm going to have to pester him.

whoberry · September 2014

We are not preventing but with unexplained infertility it seems unlikely it would happen on its own. I am bfing and no period yet but DH made me take a hpt 2 weeks ago before drinking. Of course it was negative. It was kind of weird to be relieved by a negative for once! I am not ready for #2 yet but it would be so much easier and cheaper if we could do it on our own. I will probably start opks again eventually and then move down the road towards a frozen embryo transfer, I just don't know how long we will wait for that. I would love to have a few months to a year of having my body back to myself- no breastfeeding and no pregnancy.

b48kate · September 2014

Were going to start trying in May. We wanted to try before that but the dr said it was better to wait in case I need another c-section. We want at least 3 possibly 4 and all close in age.

And because you are my labor buddy I get live vicariously through you! Go, LB, go!!!

kd&cd · September 2014

We are looking at spring '17, hopefully April/May. I don't want to be full out pregnant in the summer again but also dread a winter baby because I am one. Fingers crossed everything is as easy next time! GL ladies who are trying now and soon!!!

Jenn111211 · September 2014

We've talked about spring '17 because that works out well for work (I will be vested for benefits at that point). Honestly, I'm kind of all over the place in my thinking. I want to be able to enjoy time with only my daughter, but I'd also like her to have a brother or sister close in age. Then I think about how much DH works and I don't know if I could even handle a second child. So, we'll see...

curlylocks3 · September 2014

My bad, I apparently think it's already 2015.

nunzchucks · September 2014

No more babies for me and I could not be happier. I'm already selling all of DD's clothes and I love it.

Soo spring '16 then for you too (hopefully)?

emslade982 · September 2014

I will be 32 in a few days so we definitely want to get a move on having at least one more. Possibly starting TTC next summer or fall for a spring or summer 2016 baby, but we shall see. Lots may happen between now and then. Won't try before next summer though to get my body back in shape and fully recovery from the c section. I won't attempt a vbac.

H and I just discussed. We've paid for two years of storage fees for Adelie- that will expire in June 2016- so we will do our FET prior to that. He did point out if we do it next fall all the clothes we have will likely work for baby #3, which obviously would be quite helpful.

We will have to reevaluate the potential of a) three in diapers (ohdeargod the laundry) b) my doctors' opinions on this plan and c) my body's tolerance for 12 more weeks of twice a day PIO, 56 weeks of twice a day Lovenox and potential insulin.

My butt is already clenching at C.

katekat8721 · September 2014

Oh god @curlylocks3... the shots

So many shots!

I need to call my RE and see what steps we'd have to do before an FET (i.e. how long past weaning) but I don't want to sound like a crazy person. I am just a planner and like to plan ahead!

I asked my midwife how long I had to wait for a vbac at my 6 week appt. She looked at me like I was crazy. I had already said I was getting an iud, I just wanted to be able to plan!

ricecakes1216 · September 2014

We plan to actively try in May. I'm not opposed to trying earlier.

puttyeast · September 2014

I think we'll start TTC in spring/summer 2016. That's if I get a full time teaching position in the next school year though (only substituting now). I'd like to time things so that I can use a leave and summer together to get a lot of time off though.

curlylocks3 · September 2014

@katekat8721‌ please let me know what your RE says! I'm curious exactly what would be needed...I'm assuming they'll need us to repeat all our infectious disease stuff but will be able to skip the SA and hopefully the HSG.

Part of me hopes no cd3 labs either because I don't want to know how much my reserve has declined but I also know I wouldn't hae the self control to not ask for the numbers.

We've also tossed around the idea of a natural FET but I need to do some more research on that. I need to know we gave Adelie the same chance of success that Mumble and Hugsy had.
