August 2018 Babies
I was in July but AF has arrived with a vengeance so I'm moving on to TTC an August baby.
Technically this is my 2nd cycle TTC. We started in spring and conceived right away but it ended in a loss. So the first month we were able to try again was October. DH is a truck driver so that makes TTC very difficult. My midwife called in BCP for me today, and I'm going to take them for 2 weeks to delay ovulation so that it will match DH home time for the next 4 months. I'm also Homozygous MTHFR and clotting disorder, so I am on baby aspirin, prenatals with methylfolate, and will start lydia Pinkham when I stop BCP. I need O to occur between Nov 24-29. Any earlier and we will miss it. We are swaying Girl, but only because they are harder to get (for us) and plan two more children total. I'll be happy with whatever we get though!

PEARL325- I understand that!! it seems their is a "baby boom" of our friends getting pregnant, i am very happy for them but a part of me deep down is like "why not me yet?" That is why my DH says this cycle dont work we are taking a break off the charting and just doing the old fashion way!

@Pearl_325. It is crazy. I remember a time when I was in high school and that my ex and I wanted to have our first child together and then things happened. We went out separate ways. Years later, I find him on Facebook and turns out he has two kids with one woman and then to find out that he has a daughter that she doesn't know is his dad (sad world and she is 9yrs old) with another woman. He's still madly in love with me and when he found out that I got pregnant, he was so sad that the baby wasn't his. Before I got pregnant, I didn't want a baby with him as he already has kids and deep down, I wanted someone who didn't have kids. Crazy eh? Things will work out for you.
@Beaut1ful38. I hope this is your cycle and if not then maybe the old fashioned is the way to go as then you won't be tracking every little thing and driving yourself crazy wondering if you ovulated or not. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
@Katyfootballmomma. Better get busy . Have a good day too. Keeping my fingers crossed.

@Beaut1ful38 I think that is a great idea! If it doesn't work for us this month I think we will do the same to take some of the stress out of it. Just stinks because we are 32 and and trying for our first and we'd like to have two. Right now my first baby would be born when I am 33 and so every month that goes by I worry. I really don't want to be over 35 still trying to have children only because of the high risk factor. That scares me a little bit. Plus I get so much pressure from family because of my age. I swear this holiday season is going to be brutal with them asking me "no kids yet?" lol Fingers crossed I wont need to do that though!

@dragonfly23 definitely crazy how things work out that way but that saying everything happens for a reason is SO true! Seems like you lucked out in that situation. And i totally feel you on wanting someone that doesn't already have children. I always felt selfish saying that but i wanted to experience a child for the first time with someone

@Pearl_325. I totally agree. I have never in my life been on a active forum till I came on here in June I think as I am self conscious on what people think and I don't want to say anything wrong to make someone upset. So, with that being said this has helped me to get passed that conscious feeling to a degree but I have been here ever since. The support on here is incredible.
