Hi Ladies

I was on this forum last year when we tried conceiving our little girl and have been silently stalking the pages for a while :P
It took me 1.5 years to fall pregnant as I have ovulation problems and because of this and that I am 38 we going to start trying for another asap.

This is my first month charting and we are going to try for 4 months and if I don't get my BFP within that time then I will visit my doctor and possibly be put on Fertomid again.

Good luck to those in the tww and to those prepping for IVF :)

* TTC baby #1 for 1.5 years
(tried naturally for 1 year - anovulatory cycles)
(medicated Fertomid cycles for 5 months)
BFP - 1 Sept 2015 - un medicated cycle
TTC baby #2 - October 2017
BFP - 3 January 2018

TTC baby #3 in 2021

@Liza glad you had a good laugh - because I am laughing at myself. I am now 2 days later very much leaning towards having another baby and now the fear is starting to kick in. I suffer from depression and major anxiety so now I am worrying about things that I should not.

But yes I am back on Moomie to have a tribe to talk to.

@ Stilettomum you really had me laughing!!! Sorry!

I'm a boy mommie and really really want a little girl!

I don't have any advise as this is a huge decision and as you say a lot of things needs to change if you had another baby.

Leave it in God's hands!!

Just and update about me... I was once a loyal Moomie mom back when the site started out and my second child's life is well documented in the Jan/Feb 2010 mommies group. to me starting this road again means to come back to a place where I feel safe and parenting is the focus without judgment.

On 8 October the husband informed me that he wants another baby. I was completely shocked. I asked like 400 times if he was serious and he said yes. Finacially we are now in a position to make the decision if we want another baby.

I sort of agreed but I am one the fence. For the last 2 years I wanted a baby. I wanted to get pregnant and pop the little sucker out before my 30th birthday and he was on the fence. Now 2 months before I turn 30 he suddenly wants another baby.

I mean fuck me. I had a plan and our cut off was end April – according to me. So seeing that it did not happen (not that we really tried) I started to plan my life going forward. I started planning for retirement. I know that sounds weird, but my plan was to retire as soon as Lorelai finishes university. She starts grade 1 next year so in about 15 years we dont have children to support and I could become a lady of leasure.

I only work half day and do not plan on moving up anywhere either financially or prpfessionally. Hannes is studing, just became manager and he works hard to bring home the money and that works for us. He has big plans for building his career and earning bucket loads so I dont have to.

But another baby now?

I no longer have any baby things. I would have to start from scratch as everyone I know has kids in school.

And what if it is a boy? I am a girly mom?

Yes I am freaking out and the mind is all over the place as this changes everything.

I will have to change my medication, I know that you get pregnancy safe anti depression meds but mine are working and what if those dont work?

I going to need a bigger car if we have 3 children.

We will need to move again as this house is too small for 3 kids.

So yes I am currently as confused as shit.

Half yes and half no. I obviously dont want to tell anyone (except Tara) that we are trying, because I will be heart broken if it does not happen. Or what if I decide I do not really want another one?

Like I said confused as shit.
