Hello!
Me (31) and my hubby (37) have decided to ttc baby number 3. I have 2 boys already, one is 12 from a previous relationship and we have an almost 3 year old together too. I love my boys, and believe my youngest especially has helped heal many of my gender disappointment fears (I so wanted both times to have a baby girl and after a gender scan with my youngest I took it quite hard) to the point I now know having a third boy would actually be really special if our sway failed. I do want to give swaying a try though as I still hope for a daughter one day and not sure hubby can be persuaded to try for a fourth baby!
The scariest thing for me is the anxiety over having another hyperemesis gravidarum pregnancy, HG had me hospitalised very early on and medicated for most of my pregnancy. I'm terrified, but really really want another child so it's just something I'm going to have to face. I'm in the uk and despite getting lots of info from pregnancy sickness support etc, my gp won't talk about a plan until I'm sick so all I can do is see them ASAP once I'm actually pregnant.
I have had the mirena coil removed mid cycle on 29th jan after 2 and a half years, and was using ov sticks, between then and now I had a short withdrawl bleed and 3 different positive opks, unfortunately I don't think I actually ov'd and af has got me with a vengeance today. Both my boys were conceived with one attempt only when I was much fitter than I am now (was a dancer when I had my first) and after no birth control 1st time and straight after stopping the pill (only on it 6 months) 2nd time. I'm still breastfeeding my toddler so perhaps that could affect my chances.
I really need to scour this site for as much info as possible! What a fabulous resource! But so much to learn. I already see my diet is bad as I'm totally a snacker/grazer! And I need to do more exercise, I do walk everywhere, but currently at toddler speed and not for 60mins non stop!
We are taking a short break from ttc as we are going away to see family at start of June and with HG I can't really be in early weeks of pregnancy as need time to get stable on meds. If my cycles now go back to regular 28 days then we'd like to try for an attempt end of may and due date would be our anniversary and right round valentines day (if we are blessed for the attempt to work!).
Ok, I've written like a full essay! I will stop boring you all and go read read read!!!!!
Nice to meet you all! X
