KristiElizabeth Kyoki Marie Do we even have a TTC thread for those of us wanna-be-mommies? Personally, I'd like some input from other mommies who know what they did and didn't do during the pre-baby time. There's noone better to teach me what not to do or what to do before I get pregnant, so that when the time comes I'm ready for it... or as ready as I can be. Well per-pregnancy my baby was not planned at all, we were just wel being normal tens nothing special --- not trying to have a kid or anything but it happend so here we are
as for me, i didn't want him on top of me, i didn't want the pregnancy and i didn't want the miscarriage but i had no say in all three. so i'm sorry but i can't help you.

p r i n c e s s Pirate Dirge xP I don't need a kit to tell me when I am: I get all the classic symptoms from the cramping when the egg actually releases, to the higher body temp, to the mucus, EVERYTHING. And five months later, still Nada, which I know I shouldn't be bothered by, but I still am. yup yup - I get the eggwhite fluid, and the cervix raises and softens, and I cramp. I have noticed that I tend to ovulate on day ten instead of day 14 - I'm seeing my doctor next month, so I'm asking about that. Do you tend to ovulate early or late, too? Maybe we just aren't lucky right now.
As for the doctor, after my last one (was recently assigned a new one and am scared to meet him) I'd rather be barren then treated like I'm 12 again and have to deal with that pain. At this moment my opinion on doctors is '******** 'em' I REALLY hate military doctors and I don't need another lecture on my weight or more tests being ordered for me that I neither asked for nor was I even told about. It's not fun getting a phone call from a clinic confirming an appointment you didn't make. I really don't care to go.
Thelana, STAY ON TOPIC PLEASE and try to avoid being judgemental or offensive. Thank you. I'm sorry if you chose to be offended but this is a topic about TTC, please help keep it on TTC.

Wow, its been a while since I've been in my own thread. ^^; Sorry.
Our update: Currently not trying to concieve. Of course, not trying not to either. What with us moving so soon, and all the stress of that and finding a house and getting the car fixed and getting out of this place and away from all this stress, I'm not willing to add more stress to that, for my sake, for Auron's sake and for the (future) baby's sake. I am thinking about charting, though, because knowing when your fertile is just one more weapon in the arsenal for getting or not getting pregnant, you know? I'm also hoping that, with my irregular cycle, maybe this will help me figure out what's going on in my body. ( xp I hate not knowing what my body is doing at all times.)
We're also pausing the TTC because once I get home (back up to WA state) I'm going back to school, and I don't know if mommy-hood and school at the same time is something I could do right now. Once I'm running in my program, and I've been there and know what I need to do, I can reevaluate my abilities and my capability to do it, but until then I don't want to risk having to drop out of college to raise my kids. I know that a lot of mom's are perfectly capable of going to classes and keeping grades while raising a baby, and I understand and cheer them on for it, but I just don't know if -I- could do that just yet. I mean, I have trouble working and taking care of my -pets-, let alone a baby who needs me all the time. Anyway, we'll see what happens.
And congrats, all you ex-TTC'ers!

Okay I have PCOS and my husband and I know we want at least 2 children. My thing is because of my condition, my eggs act like they are from a 45 year old woman instead of a 29 year old. Our son is 5 months old. Do your guys think it is too early to be thinking about having a second one. We are just concerned that is we wait too ling the chances of down syndrom will just keep going up. My pregnancy with Caleb was hard, I was on bedrest from 20 weeks on and chances are I will be with the next child too, (plus Caleb was born 7 weeks early).
Just want thoughts on this.

Maura Rune Okay I have PCOS and my husband and I know we want at least 2 children. My thing is because of my condition, my eggs act like they are from a 45 year old woman instead of a 29 year old.

My pregnancy with Caleb was hard, I was on bedrest from 20 weeks on and chances are I will be with the next child too, (plus Caleb was born 7 weeks early). Just want thoughts on this. Well I guess it's a personal thing. Me, I'd say if your need to have another kid outweighs everything else, then no, for YOU I don't think, thinking about having a second now is too early. Because like you said your eggs act like they are from a 45 year old woman you wait longer and your eggs may just be no good. However, if the thought of your bedrest and hard pregnancy is too much to want to do again RIGHT now you might consider that one baby is enough. I really think it depends on what you consider to be the bigger issue. But like I said, if having another kid is really really important to you and your spouse I don't think it's too early to try again.

I've been wanting to try for my second baby ever since we found out I have cervical cancer, back in November (but my baby was only 3 months old then) - we've been trying now since May, because if I wait any longer, they'll have to do a hysterectomy, and that means no more babies at all.
One of my friends got pregnant when her little girl was 5 months old, and she's doing fine - she said her second pregnancy was easier than her first, mostly because she already knew what to expect.
I'd say don't worry about what anyone else would think - worry about your health and your fertility, and aim for that second baby if you feel you can have a second successful pregnancy.

I have a friend right now who accidentally got pregnant when her first one was 1 month old, poor girl. But she''s doing well, just is on high risk because her BP gets high.
So like the others have said, if that''s what you want, go for it.

Odd question, but here's one: One can't concieve without sex. Sex takes a back burner when stress is around. Sex gets forgotten if left on the back burner too long. So: How does one resurrect interest in sex, when all you really want to say is "Get off me. -_-"?

Re-find the 'spark' =D Try having fun together without the aim necessarily being sex. Play. No seriously, play. Go on dates, do fun silly things. Intimacy isn't just about physical contact.
On my own TTC front, I will have to wait another 3-10 days to see if we'll be starting our 7th month of TTC. Last month my cycle decided to come a week early, so I don't know if I'll go back to the irratic ones I had before being on the pill or not. ~_~ I hope not.

Sending you baby vibes...
As for interest in sex, just take a break and I agree with what Dirge said.

If your periods go back to irregular off the BC they have another hormone drug they can give you that makes your periods more regular but does not stop fertilization of eggs (Clomid) tons of women have fantastic results. I just don't want you to get too discouraged if that's the case. You'll be a great momma when the time comes. heart
