TTC Girl - February 2012

[PeonyPrincess]

Pinkin, I am not surprised knowing you have to do it again is making you feel down. You and DH did so much in December and January. But it sounds like you are already making a few adjustments so that your sway will be even better. And March seems like a long way away, but with your busy February, it will be here before you know it.

Thanks Peony, I think as I said under stress makes you do things that you were not going to do.. Anyway in march I am going to take it easy and try and relax about it and try not to miss that EGG!!! Oh and keep the little wigglies alive!! I only have one child so we dont have much time to muck around.. D/s is nearly 3 and a half and keeps asking for a baby!! I dont want them to grow up with too much of an age gap that they dont play together I am not even sure if they would play together with a 4 or over gap anyway!! thats what gets me down why have i left it so long to ttc , Now its just a rush If you get what i mean

A long time ago I read that if there is a 6 year age gap the children can feel like an only child. I don't know how true that is, but I am sure you have not left it too long. It is a great sign that your boy is excited at the prospect of a sibling. My DS1 can't remember a time when it was just him, so it has taken him a very long time to think having another one would be a good idea. My DS2 is baby obsessed and asks me when he will be able to have a baby in his tummy?!

Aww how cute is he! Yeah i know what you mean about the 6 year gap thing . A lady I know had 6years between the first and second and then 2 years between second and third , she said the oldest boy never has and still doesnt have much to do with the last two which i think is sad. I Really need to get preg asap i dont want more then a 4.5 yr gap but you cant control these things hey, If only!

Surgena - fingers crossed for that BFP!! I don't know how you could possibly hold off...I have terrible POAS syndrome myself

Peony - that is too funny! My son's friend (he's 3) at daycare came up to his mom and I and said "Mommy, when can *I* have a baby in my tummy?". Of course his mom said "oh sweetie, boys can't have babies in their tummies". The little guy turns around all mad and says "Mommy, that is NOT very nice to say I can't have a baby in my tummy. That hurts my feelings". LOL!! Kids are too cute!

Ok, I totally fell off the wagon this evening! I went for a run this morning, followed by a long walk with a friend, and hadn't eaten much all day until the hunger just hit around 4pm!! I was out working, and we still had nothing for dinner, and that little gremlin in my head kept saying "well, you probably O'd yesterday, so if the sperm met the egg, it's all said and done anyways so what does it really matter....". LOL! So I went out and bought a huge pizza for dinner and ate 1/3 of it myself!!! The funnier part is, I totally had dreams about what I would do when I could finally let loose again, and all the things I would eat and enjoy....but the reality is, ALL I could eat were the 3 big slices of pizza, and then I was SO stuffed, I had to go to bed and lay down! A couple months ago, I could have eaten that whole pizza by myself, plus chocolate cake for dessert and a bowl of popcorn while watching a movie later that night! UGH! Ahahahahaa, so sad!! Back on the wagon tomorrow....

Don't get too stressed out over it (though I can understand the feeling of wanting control over it, my son is 2). There is a 5 year difference between me and my younger brother, but we have always been really close and played together quite well. It might be different for an older brother/younger sister combo? It was a little odd at 16 and 11...but that age always is!

[pinkin2011]

If I get Preg in march or april bub will be due dec or jan.. D/s is 4 september 30th so that age gap is alot but not too bad i dont want anymore then that.. I am thinking if i dont get a bfp by april I am just going to dtd all over o, start middle and end to maybe up my chances.. Yeah its very stressful, Life just got so busy and before i knew it d/s was 3!! I bet you can all understand that!

[PeonyPrincess]

I can totally understand life getting busy. The only reason we have 2 children fairly close together is because DS2 was a complete surprise. DH and I literally looked at each other when I found out and said "Did we even BD together?!" Fortunately DS2 looks just like DH. lol. It must have happened when we hosted a great Easter party, but neither of us can recall!! If that hadn't happened I am 100% certain I would be in the same boat as you.

[pinkin2011]

Yeah its pressure on me because d/h has been saying for a year lets ttc and i have been putting it off sort of but for no real reason just so busy. Now its a rush i guess i have 2 more months to sway TBH if i dont get preg in those 2 months the swaying has to stop , my d/h doesnt believe in swaying and i am doing it sort of without him knowing.. Naughty me. My attempt in Jan though he knew about and released everyday for 21 days he did so well but just cant do that every month couldnt even do it for 10 days .... He just wants another child so bad and also he is not happy that we have left it so long he feels the pressure too.

Couldn't help myself! Another BFN this morning. However it still could be early. I should have O'd the 18th but don't think I did, so AF tomorrow seems unlikely. It could really be anytime this week... who knows! I've had steady daily cramping throughout this 2ww however I'm going to run on the assumption to keep expecting AF for now. If I am not pregnant this cycle, it will be the first time I wasn't pregnant first month trying which could be viewed in a positive way that I've changed up some things in both our fertility. As odd as that is but what you want for ttc a girl! Still, would be nice if I was but if not, hope I can be next month and will also give me a chance to be really good and solid on the diet as with birthdays, guests, and holidays, it was a tough one that I definitely fell off the wagon many times during!
