Anyone waiting to TTC early 2016?

[XXforhubby]

I'm excited and nervous too. Nervous at the thought I may have two children close in age [emoji16]! That's assuming I get pregnant while nursing and when we start TTCing. I'll be much more relaxed about swaying this time around and sticking to what REALLY sways. I'm looking forward to no opks and no temping! I recommend staying away from them if you can get obsessed or have a competitive nature. It only fuels these tendencies- I'm speaking from firsthand experience [emoji6]!

I can't wait to meet this little guy! He is the most gentlest baby I have ever carried (Both DS1 and DS2 were gentle too and still are at 5 and 2.4 yrs old)! I'm looking forward to snuggling and nursing him [emoji4]!!


DS1[emoji125]🏼, DS2[emoji577], DS3[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170] Jan. '16 I'll sway for a DD[emoji166][emoji171][emoji166] for my DH!!

Your boys all sound wonderful!! My 2 boys are crazy! Even in my womb they were extremely energetic haha!!

I don use opks as I very rarely could catch a positive! Was planning on trying every 4 days, is this what you are planning to do?

Are you planning on including exercise in your sway? Xxx

Here is what my sway will look like:

1. Traditional LE diet, and I may switch to
the PCOS version of the weight
doesn't come off like it should.

2. 1 hour of cardio starting when he is
3mo old. I'll be nursing, so I want my
supply to be well established. I'll be
walking while wearing him to take
DS2 to a park to play along a trail I
love to walk on.

3. BDing every 4-5 days from the end of
AF until CD21, in case of late O.

4. 2400mcg of Folic Acid/Folate. Fiber
once he is 4mo with one meal at a
time per month until he is 6mo. I want
to make sure he gets the nutrients he
needs from me.

5. Alcohol with dinner starting 1-3 times
per week starting when he is 4mo.

6. A small amount of either Sylk or
Aci-jel as a lube if needed.

7. Maybe Benadryl 4 hours before our
first attempt if I have copious
amounts of EWCM. I doubt that will
be the case, but you never know!

8. Nursing!

* I'll start off using repHresh and Aci-jel to prevent conception until this guy is 4mo. I really don't want to have another child before then! However, I did tell my DH I would give him a full year to TTC though...

That all sounds great! You sound like you have a plan!!

It feels good to see it all written down like that I think typical boy mum that I am, I love lists and being ridiculously organised haha x

[XXforhubby]

Haha! That's how I was previously when I swayed for this baby! Now it is second nature, I don't even think about it unless someone asks me [emoji6]!

I think my plan will be just like yours XX, except for the nursing. I'm going to do DTD every 4 days once I get my IUD out.

Jennypenny, my SIL had a girl earlier this year, she has 1 DS. I just try to think that hopefully, it means I'll have a DD with a close cousin, since we won't have more than 3. Wishful thinking! I've heard people say they are happy to have a niece if they can't have a daughter, I don't know if I'm quite that nice....

Hiya,

I agree, xx plan looks great! I am going to copy her haha!

Oh my goodness, if my sister in law has a girl and I was lucky enough to also have a girl, that would be fantastic! The thought of two little girl babies in my family would be wonderful

Just trying not to even picture such a lovely outcome, as I would just set myself up for a fall

I know that if I can do this 100% to my best abilities, I will feel at peace with whatever the outcome. Xxx

I'm still here. Don't know how active I'll be right now since my mind isn't really in pre-TTC mode. After our most recent loss DH and I agreed that we just want to focus on healing and enjoying the holidays. Celebrating what we have and mourning what we've lost is enough right now without piling TTC considerations on. We haven't decided if we'll sway this time yet as we aren't really thinking or talking about it much. Every once in awhile I'll ponder a question and seek out the answer, or we'll discuss for a few minutes about when we think we might start TTC again. DH says definitely not before January and I concur... I'm even thinking waiting until Feb might be better. The methotrexate shot they gave me makes me nervous. There is no way to know if all the stores of it have completely left my body and it's safe. We'll figure it all out when our heads get in the right place. I know until I get "the itch" that I won't be ready. Until I'm itching to TTC my anxieties will be far too high because I won't get "the itch" until *I* feel it's safe to TTC. My OB said that we can TTC after 1 normal cycle... but knowing what I know it just feels wrong... or dangerous.. or something... I can't quite explain, but I'm not in the right mental space to TTC anytime soon anyway.

Anyway, hope you all are well!

Two- good to hear from you! Give yourself plenty of time. You'll know when the right time is for you and your DH to TTC again. I would definitely amass as much information as you can, when you are ready.

FWIW, my pharmacist who is also a close friend of mine, had almost the same thing happen to her. She decided to wait 4 months (Calendar months not 4 cycles) to begin to TTC again after she had the methotrexate shot. She was told by her RE that waiting three months is best. She ended up getting pregnant with a OHW and her baby girl is as healthy as ever!

Hang in there honey! My heart goes out to you [emoji8]!
