Hi girls, here to tell you all (tentatively) that I am 8 weeks pregnant and therefore I had better really leave the thread! Let me tell you that "not trying, not preventing" is really trying ha! Good luck in your journeys and I can only pray that we all have healthy and uncomplicated pregnancies. Lots of love! KK xx:heartsmil Stay-at-home-mummy of two, pinching the pennies but loving it! :heartsmil

Hi
Can I join please? I am super broody and my partner is even worse than I am but now is not the time so I am impatiently waiting!
My TTC Stats:
My Age/Partners age: 27/24
Time together: 3 years
What are you waiting for?!: I'm a student nurse almost finished my first year so 2 more years to go so this is preventing us due to finances and also I need to finish my degree.
When will you be TTC? June 2015 onwards (theres a date in my phone diary lol) - how far away that is is just depressing
Any preTTC prep? It's a bit too soon for that really although I am trying to lose weight so I am in good shape and healthy when we ttc.
I'm taking my mind off TTC by... really I'm not, every month I hope we have had a little accident. But I suppose my mind is concentrating on my degree, the 2 boys I already have and trting to save for a mortgage deposit.0 -
Welcome to the thread, Kerry
It is very hard to take your mind off TTC, I know that. Use the energy towards your degree and you'll never regret it!
AFM - I've posted it elsewhere but I had to say goodbye to my gorgeous westie on Monday. He died rather suddenly aged 8, so I've been a mess lately, I didn't even notice this morning when I took my pill that it was the last in the packet! So that's me onto the TTC board now (even though I've been lurking on all of them :rotfl:)
I hope to see some of you on there, although be quick as I don't want to be hanging around on that board for long!

Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind me joining in here, I've been lurking for a while trying to pluck up the courage to join in, and well, if I wait much longer I'll probably pass this whole thread by. May seem a bit odd to those of you who have long waits ahead for me to join now with only a short wait ahead of me, but there are a few things I'd like to canvas opinion on.
First My TTC Stats:
My Age/Partners age: 32/31
Time together: 12 years
What are you waiting for?!: there's been several things, risked turning this into an essay by going through them all, but some job and finances related, some a bit more frivolous (sounds daft but want a particular holiday first!)
When will you be TTC? November/December
Any preTTC prep? Not really, started doing a bit more exercise this summer
I'm taking my mind off TTC by...planning the holiday!
Now those things I’m pondering…
Do you think it’s necessary to see GP before starting TTC? I was just going to stop pill and see what happened and then go if nothing did after a while, but DH seems to think I should before I stop pill.
Can anyone share experiences of stopping pill? Part of my reason for taking it was to balance hormones, lessen mood swings, improve physical PM symptoms, and I’m worried about them coming back and any other side effects. It’s making me feel nervous about the whole starting TTC thing actually, which makes me feel a bit out of place here as I can see so many of you are excited. I suppose it may be a good reason to go with DH’s opinion re above and see GP to hopefully reassure me.0 -

I'm officially ttc now but this board helped me stay sane!
I didn't go to the doctors but I told him during another appointment and he didn't say anything about it.Our Rainbow Twins born 17th April 2016
