C&P from last thread!
 This thread is for women (or men if you don't mind woman talk  ) who are waiting for whatever reason to add to their family.Newbies always welcome! Last thread can be found HERE  .Question of the Day (QOTD) 10/18-- What is something you would like to learn about or to do? 10/19-- Let's share Pics of the LO's today! If no LO's then of ourselves??  10/20--How big is your place compared to your family size? & Do you fit well? 10/21-- What is your favorite Candy/sweet? 10/22-- What kind of music do you enjoy?  10/23-- If you could travel ANYWHERE, where would you go? TOP 3 choices? 10/24-- What are your plans for the weekend?  Who we are: Unknown date or Multiple dates Screen Name: laur318 Real Name: Lauren Coarse of Action: Old Fashioned way Why Wait?: Just had a baby in April 2009. Also need more room in house. Screen Name: JaylasMommy Real Name: Ashley Coarse of Action: Old Fashioned Way Why Wait?: Not a good time to have a child Screen Name: rcarver Real Name: Rebekah Coarse of Action: exercising and dieting like a crazy person Why Wait? OB told me I could reduce my risk of developing pre-eclampsia again if I lost the baby weight. 11 pounds to go! Screen Name: butterflies.in.a.jar Real Name: Stephanie Coarse of Action: 8 days left til I'm off the pill... then we'll see what happens next! Why Wait? My fiance has about a thousand reasons (excuses?) why we need to wait... mainly he's not comfortable with our current financial status (even though I've actually done the number crunching, and we could comfortably support a baby too) and then he adds on about a dozen things he wants to do before we become parents, but I think (along with a bunch of our mutual friends) that he's just nervous and scared. I'll be off the pill soon, so we'll have to see how things go from there. Maybe he'll set a date! Screen name: filiadeluna Real name: Jessica Course of Action: charting, CM, *maybe* OPKs Why wait?: Just gave birth to DD in March '09. Wanting to wait a few months so there will be less risk of my milk drying up while she is still an infant. We aren't preventing, but I'm not sure I'm even ovulating yet since I've only had one PPAF and it was shorter than normal. Screen Name: Liv'sMom Real Name: ??? Course of Action: I'm charting. Looking forward to trying to remember that temp in the morning! Why Wait? I need to get clearance from my gyn. due to some recent issues. I have that consult on Wed. so I'm hoping that goes well! We are hoping to start trying in Aug. or Sept. I also teach school, so we're hoping for a summer baby. The less of work I have to miss, the better (means I'll not get my pay docked!) :lol Screen name: Slimy72 Real name: Laurel Coarse of Action: Wait til end of treatment, then charting, clomid, and anything else my dr tells me (if it's anything like last time it will be a while) Why Wait?: Six months of hormone therapy after endometrial surgery (and six more to have it out of my system fully) Screen name: Diapernewby Real name: Sasha Coarse of Action: Not Preventing Why Wait?: Appt with RE in September Screen name: BrittBBT Real name: Brittany Coarse of Action: Not trying. Mostly preventing. Want to start NFP but nursing messes me all up, hormone wise. Why Wait?: I have infant twins. Need I say more? I want to begin trying when they are around 1-2. Oh, and income is a bit of a factor! Screen Name: Spurk5532 Real name: Kirstin Course of Action: eventually IUI Why wait?: Need to deal with my life. Screen Name: AlisonR80 Real Name: Alison Course of Action: Old-fashioned way, if DH gets on board Why Wait?: Dh not on board Screen Name: Mommysweetpea Real Name: Tammy Course of Action: NFP Why Wait: We want to wait until our son is in kindergarten. We need a bigger house. I need to lose about 50 lbs. (I'm already down 7 in one week! Woohoo!) screen name: WilloWanka real name: Willow course of action?: Once we start TTC I will be charting. My cycles are 56-90 days with two O gear ups, but only 1 actual O, so TTC can be frusturating. We have 5 children, but 11 pregnancies, getting pregnant is easy, staying pregnant...not so much. Anyway, charting, OPKs lots of sex, lol. I'm gonna look into Soy as well. Why wait?: Waiting until DS is a year old or until I convince DH, whichever comes first... :P Screen Name: Julesboch Real name: Jules Course of action: Trojan army Reason for waiting: Lots! Financial, DH is deploying in Feb, I have IC, We may move within the next year, etc...etc...etc. November 2009 Screen Name: oddduck Real Name: Marianne Coarse of Action: Old Fashioned Way Why Wait?: Need to get through 12 week coarse of meds that can't take while pregnant or nursing. Also don't want 2 in fulltime daycare at the same time. Screen Name: Lanasmom Real Name: Jamie Course of Action: He can wear condoms  ...I'm sick of hormones and if he doesn't want to wear condoms then we will just get preggo!! Why Wait?: DH isn't fully on board December 2009 Screen Name: dragondance Real Name: Faith Course of Action: monitoring CM, probably charting but it stresses me out so not at first Why Wait?: Because dd2 has SPD and is very, VERY demanding of our attention and energy. So we are waiting until she would be 3 when we have a new baby, so she will hopefully be old enough and benefitted enough from therapy to be able to handle a newborn and not being the center of attention, all the time, with sensory stuff constantly. Screen Name: buttonnose Real name: ??? Coarse of Action: Going off BCP in December 2009 prep for cycling will be charting and using OPK's Why wait?: Financal reasons Screen name: The Fancy Pansy Real name: Krista Coarse of Action: Old Fashioned Way Why wait?: Want to pay off our cars and build/buy a new house so there's lots of room for the LO!

Screen Name: chloebeansmom Real Name: Liz Course of Action: Condoms , Once we start TTC I'll be chartingWhy Wait? Had a very traumatic end to my pregnancy with DD (pre-e, emergency CS, 31 week birth, 6.5 week NICU stay) I"m working on losing 30 lbs (19 left) before TTC and would like to try next spring, but DH isn't on board yet, I'm working on him Screen Name: ~Peach~ Real Name: Jen Course of Action: currently charting Why Wait? We are waiting for financial reasons and because dh would be more comfortable waiting for Saedra to become a bit more independent. Screen name: dsmrwtnttn Real name: Nikki Coarse of Action: Old fashioned way. Why wait?: SO hasn't said yes for sure yet. He likes the idea of another baby but doesn't want to commit until closer to when I actually want to ttc, which is February/March 2010. He says it will probably happen, and I am totally getting my hopes up because I've got baby fever so bad. Screen Name: Imogen's_Mum Real Name: Charissa Coarse of Action: Charting Why Wait? Every month I struggle with wanting to TTC and have to remind myself why the timing isn't good...I still have 25+ lbs to lose, we are trying to buy a house, DH's work is still sporadic....

Screen name:monkeymamaof2 Real name:Marshe Course of action: Mirina 5yrs (but will be out next April )Why im waiting: We need for finances to get together and I want my boys to enjoy having a baby around while not being one themselves so I plan on ttc in July of 2010 and hopefully we get pregnant right away( I will be watching my body signs up until then) August 2010 Screen Name: mostlymerrymary Real Name: Mary Coarse of Action: condoms and the occasional pull n' pray  Why Wait?: Making fairly large financial changes and trying to get house in order.

Still nursing and waiting for my body to recover fully (I have Lupus, so we're uber-careful to make sure I'm in good health!)

Screen Name: beckstar Real Name: becky Course of Action: LAM, our youngest is only 5 months old, and im tandem nursing her 2yo brother. once ppaf returns, i suppose we'll use condoms or spermicide along with NFP/FAM...charting is fun! Why Wait? well, we have a 5 month old daughter mostly. also, hubs is still pretty much on the fence about whether or not we'll ever ttc again...but the best he can give me is that he would like to wait until pea is 2...which is in may of 2011...also, i'd really like to have another spring baby...and be nice and preggo during the holidays. truthfully, i dont know if we'll make it that far since ive already got the itch...but his wants/needs are important to me, too.June 2011 July 2011 August 2011 September 2011 October 2011 November 2011 December 2011  This Month's graduated members: Good luck!

AOTD: I would love to learn "fluent" sign language. I took a course in high school and learned a lot, but I've forgotten much of it.

Re: ~~Waiting to TTC (it's SO hard to do!!)10/18-10/24~~
I just want to learn it because a lot of my students (when I was teaching and I do plan to go back) spoke it. Some of their parents couldn't speak English so it made PT conferences a little difficult. I'd like to communicate with them better.
