Babies on the Brain

Intro! Hey-o!

Hiii!! First time poster but long time lurker here. We're planning to start TTC in May, which is close enough that it feels appropriate to join in! I wish this board was a little more active, I hope to join in on the weekly fitness thread-- I need all the accountability I can get! Happy Friday Eve yall!

 

Re: Intro! Hey-o!


  • Hi and welcome! Sadly this board is pretty quiet :( I haven't started TTC yet either so I post here from time to time but also did an intro on TTGP in their newbie post this week so I can post there. 
  • Loading the player...
  • Thanks @glitzandglitter! I thought about joining in on TTGP but don't quite feel like I fit there yet. Maybe in a couple months! In the meantime, I will be content lurkity lurking!
  • Hello, newbie here as well! We are in the same boat. Probably start trying for another come Spring/Summer. Currently NTNP. I did intro on TTGP as well just to have somewhere else to hang out. I use to post in the bump community years ago, and found hanging out on TTGP before and early on really helped me learn about my body and charting. I didn't realize how much I didn't know, so you should at least lurk around there. 
          
  • Welcome!  I replied to you on the fitness thread, but I'll say hi here too!  I've been lurking TTGP as well, but I don't feel like I fit in there yet either, since we're TTA until June.  

    I don't think we need to do this here, but *TW kids and pregnancy mentioned*

    We have a 1 year old, almost 13 months actually now, and we'll be trying for a sibling for her.  We just moved up our timeline a couple of months because since LO was about 6 months I have been obsessed with the idea of having 3 kids instead of the 2 we initially planned and I *finally* got DH on board (YAY!), so we need to get things going because I'm 36 and would like to see if we can get it all done by 40.  We'll see how lucky we get!  Last time we were super blessed to get pregnant in 3 cycles, but I have a crazy amount of friends who are my age and who have suffered with secondary infertility, so I'm fearful about that!

    *end TW*

    Anyway, so psyched you're here!  Love to see this board more active!  And I'm so glad someone else is interested in the fitness thread, which I'll revive next Monday!  Woo!
  • Yay! I am so excited to see people here:) I haven't posted a lot on TTGP yet just the intro and benched threads. I am planning to ditch the pill after I finish my next pack and start charting to get back in the swing of things. I would love to see more regulars around here though! This board used to be pretty active so it is sad to see it so dead :(
  • @LivingTheDream Hi! Always nice to see other people in the same boat! I've lurked TTGP off and on for...geez, years maybe? Ack! I agree it has been super informative! Who knew that I knew so little about my body?! Haha! 

    @maureenmce Yay for getting your DH on board! How exciting! We will be trying for number 1 so it is all new to us! Looking forward to the fitness thread! I haven't popped over to that thread yet today, so I apologize in advance for responding to you over there too!!  :smiley:

    To those of you who have intro'd on TTGP but aren't actively trying yet- do you join in the convo on any threads or just lurk? I don't want to get in trouble :blush: LOL

    This is me when I realized people responded to this thread today:


  • @UterusesBeforeDuderuses that is me anytime someone other than me posts here lol. I have posted in the benched thread, supplements thread, and intro. When I stop the pill I plan to start charting - then I plan to start posting in the TWW/WTO even though I might still be TTA for a month or so.
  • @UterusesBeforeDuderuses I'm late to the game but welcome!  I like your screen name or whatever they're called now.

  • Thanks @mill1020! I have a minor Parks & Rec obsession!  

  • I'll join you guys!! I've been lurking TTGP as well but don't feel like I belong there. I would love to get pregnant any day now but I have a 13 month old and I'm still breastfeeding... I haven't gotten my period back yet so I have no idea when I'll even be fertile again! Down to 3 feedings a day, aiming to drop another this month. I spotted for the first time yesterday, but that's it, so maybe it's a sign my period will be coming back??? Is there any way or any point to charting if I don't even have my period?? I've never done it before. Last time getting pregnant was super easy for me (thank goodness) but I have a feeling it's going to be harder this time. 
  • Welcome @fishee333!! I'm really not sure if there would be any benefit of temping yet or not but hopefully one of these other lovely ladies can weigh in! Fingers crossed you get your cycle back soon! 13 months breastfeeding?! Dang, girl. Good for you!
  • @fishee333  Welcome!  Your name looks very familiar - are you from the Jan 2016 board?  If so, me too!  :)  (Even though my DD was late for her 1/31 due date and was born 2/8.)
  • @maureenmce Yup I'm in the Jan16 board. Born 1/22. Good to see you here!
  • I'll come play here, too. I posted on TTGP in last week's intro post. I love to lurk the TWW/WTO threads and such but can't contribute yet and feel weird about commenting. We are not yet trying but hopefully will be soon. Our daughter will be four in a few weeks and I've wanted a second since she was about 6 months old. It's been a long, hard wait and I really hope my husband doesn't back out this time.

    Count me in for the fitness posts! I lost about 30lbs in the last 6 months. I'm not trying to lose any more weight but am working on toning up and maintaining my new normal.

  • I guess I'll intro here too! I've been posting in the TTGP board, but I don't feel like I fit in there at the moment.

    My DH and I have a 19 month old daughter and a 5 year old corgi. I've been ready to pull the goalie since last December, but due to travel plans and weddings over the summer we thought it would be best to wait until April/May. 

    It sounds like a lot of us ladies are going to start trying in May!
  • Welcome @ChloandCoco !  I'm so jealous that you have a corgi - I love them!  And yes, looks like we may have a mass migration to the TTGP board in May, can't wait!  :)

  • @ChloandCoco welcome!!! Hawaii would be an amazing trip, how exciting!!

    I'm looking forward to the mass migration with everyone in May! 

    @notthefather for some reason I can't see your gif on mobile but I can read the description so I'm guessing it involved some JT?!?! Hahahaha
  • @UterusesBeforeDuderuses yes! I can't read all of our posts and not think "It's going to be May!" Hahahaha!

  • Hey guys, I'll try and be active here. I've been lurking and posting on TTGP a lot because I plan to start temping after my last pill on Monday, but DH isn't ready to actually have another baby yet, so still TTA. I currently have a DS who just turned one, and DH doesn't really want to start TFAS until August when DS is a year and a half :/
    Part of me wants to join in on the fitness thread, but I'm HORRIBLE about dieting and working out. I'd love to lose at least 15, if not 20 lbs before TTC again. I'm even doing Biggest Loser at work and have managed about 2 lbs over 8 weeks now. Basically, I cheat on the diet way too much and make excuses to not work out, haha.

    DS2 due 12/12/18

  • Welcome @CecilB93! I hope you do join in on the fitness thread! It is really helping me stay accountable.
  • I'll try, just not sure if it'll help, haha. I need a shock collar or something that won't allow me to eat bad foods.

    Bahaha.  Me too.  Just had my second bowl of ice cream for the evening.
