How long have you been TTC?

[Angie]

So have long have you been TTC?

I had been TTC steady for about 6 months before my pregnancy. Before that it was off and on for 9 years. I suffered though at least 7 miscarriages(MC). I found a doc early last year that cared enough to run the test to see why I MC's so much. It really helped. Now I am 36 weeks and due for my csection. Yeah ;D
Please feel free to post your story or any question you might have. Good Luck and Baby Dust to all.

As some may know I've been trying since January... I pray every month that I miss Aunt Flo... but she is persistant! I even tried hiding... She can find you when you don't want her too...

[FroggyChk]

mel ur crazy! glad to hear that you guys are trying again, or does jeremy know?

[Mel]

He didn't know till a few weeks agao... but don't tell him I told you!!

[FroggyChk]

ok i'll try not to!

[Angie]

Mel I am gald you two are trying again. It is about time. I have so much baby girl clothes to give you and your sis. One of you needs to pop out a little girl soon.

[Mel]

Somehow I figure it'll be me.

[Angie]

Baby Girls are so much fun. They are such Divas. :-*You can play dress up with them. And there clothes are so cute

[Mel]

Jeremy made the comment the other day that he doesn't think he wants a girl.... I told him its just he doesn't know how to relate to girls and that he really does want a princess... I think to over throw me.... lol!!! Course I am the Queen. It will take her awhile... So I think I'm safe for now... lol!!!

[FroggyChk]

Not as safe as you think. Little girls have daddy wrapped around their little fingers from day one!

This is true. I'm not currently TTC but I was when my fiance and I were still together. We tried for six months and nothing.

[Mel]

Its takes a healthy woman an average of 6 months to conceive.

[[ash <3]]

Good to know. I'l keep that in mind when I TTC again.

[Mel]

Thats why I haven't gone mental yet. Course my TTC days are on hold right now.... I've got some money to fix my teeth and I'm going for it!

[[ash <3]]

I don't know. Doesn't it normally happen when you aren't trying? I heard that trying too much can actually lessen your chances of getting pregnant. That wasn't from a doctor, I don't think, but it sure scared the hell out of me.

[Mel]

What it is is when you stress out about it, thats what lessens your chance. If you don't fret and just let it happen it'll happen. thats how we got preggo before!

[[ash <3]]

I hate stress. It changes everything.

[Mel]

Thats true.

[[ash <3]]

Is Jeremy as hopeful about a baby as you? I've noticed that guys normally don't want to ttc instead they just want to practice and "risk it". I hate that term. I just want to smack a guy when they say it.

[Mel]

HAHA! Yeah. Its a stupid term, used by guys who are dumbasses. Yeah Jeremy's been upset that we were to have a baby right now. He doesn't want me to go through another MC. He says that we are leaving it up to God. I love that term much better, don't you? He does get excited when I'm late. and is the 1st to say "Lets go get a test." Needless to say, he's excited to be a daddy!

[[ash <3]]

That's good. I don't like that term either. I'm not religious so it could just be me.

[Mel]

Everyone's got their sayings. So be it different, whatever. At least they have a say!

[[ash <3]]

Yeah they do. I don't know. There are so many condom babies in my family that its easier to not get pregnant by not using protection.

[Mel]

Yeah we've got plenty of BC babies...Not so sure on the condom ones... But I learned something today... Sperm could still get though a condom... at least thats what the medic Chris said.

[[ash <3]]

Some condoms. I'm not sure what brands. Some have bigger 'pores' I guess you could say. Plus the laxtex gets stretched when being made and it could cause a small tear. Anything is possible.

[Mel]

Thats exactly what he said. Though things happen for a reason I say. God wants you to have things right when he wants you to. So if its a 'holy' condom, so be it. lol!

[FroggyChk]

dont scrare me guys!!! condoms are the only thing hubby and i use! we really couldnt take another baby just now. thought i was pregnant last month, i cried for like 10 mins thinking what was i gonna do, then i got my period and was almost sad. i had kinda gotten used to the idea of another, but i still dont want one yet!

[Mel]

Like I said, when god wants you to have 'em he'll give 'em to ya. Its ok Tams. You'll be ok if it does happen too soon.

[[ash <3]]

I would think it would be easier to have two around the same time, that way you can have one going out of diapers as the other is stil in them. That way you are still in the mind set of changing diapers. Not like three years down the road when everything isn't as fresh in your mind on what you should do and how you should do it.

[Mel]

Yes that is true.
