I'm Kelsey, DH is Kris, we just had a beautiful boy Jakob, on March 5th.
I know we're crazy for wanting another one so soon but there are a few reasons, so please don't pass judgement. I assume it's going to take a while to get pregnant again. I'm totally fine with it taking a year or taking one month. We are exclusively breastfeeding so that makes it a lot harder to get pregnant. DH is military and we hope to have #2 before he deploys for a year, next year. He is doing more work with the military right now and is only home on the weekends still for about 2 more months, so we only get to DTD 1 time a week for now. Also I think even though I'm EBF I got my first PPAF already because I stopped bleeding for 2 full weeks and then started again on Friday. So I guess I will see next month if it is really AF. I usually chart temps only, but since I'm still up every few hours and we feed on demand (not schedule) my temps would not be accurate right now. After my next AF I will try to start charting temps to see if I'm O'ing yet. So right now we are more like NTNP, but I'm hopeful and want to get to know you ladies!
Hi, there! Welcome! No judgements here, just advice, support, and lots of hugs!
I'm Brittney and we're TTC our 3rd.
In addition to temps, you can chart your CM/CP and take OPKs. That should help you to determine if you are Oing and when so you can time BD well.
I can't wait to get to know you and hear all about your TTC journey!
P.S. Your little man is adorable!!!
Thank you! I don't chart CM/CP because I tend to over-analyze and drive myself crazy, LOL. I will probably use a few OPKs around the 14 day mark in my cycle because before being PG that's always when I O'ed. I got really lucky before, I was on this board for only 1 cycle of actively TTC, after months of NTNP though.
No judging over here, We had our ds last year and decided to ttc a little sooner as it took awhile (with 2 losses) to get our baby, although this is the last cycle for awhile of TTC, I have already noticed my over analyzing ways coming back and so after this cycle it's time for a little break. We would like our babies to be between 18-24 months apart, so the break wont affect that timing too much lol, hope you get your bfp soon! And your baby is so cute!
Welcome!! My name is Lacey and like Brittney said, no judgement here just lots of hugs! Your little boy is absolutely adorable! My DH and I are actually TTC our first, we've been trying not for about 7 months! I look forward to getting to know you more and hear your journey!
