Can I tell a secret??

[Stephen's Mom]

I know I don't post all that often so no one knows too much about me but I've spent a long time trying to come to terms with the fact that my DH did not want to have any more children. Well, just when I think I'm OK with that he comes out of the blue yesterday and told me I should stop taking the pill because he'd like to have another child! I am so excited (although nervous too because I'm 35-1/2 and I know fertility rates drop quite a bit after age 30 and it took me over 6 months to get pregnant when I was 30 so I have no idea how long this might take). I hope it's not too long in case he changes his mind, LOL! I was riding in the car (alone) yesterday listening to a CD of Disney classics (of course - I'm such a dork!) crying my eyes out (happily). I guess I wasn't as well-adjusted to the idea of only one child as I thought I was! So I'd appreciate any good thoughts and prayers you may have for a reasonably quick conception. If all goes well, I guess I'll have to change my username!

It took me 3 months for my first then the 2nd time around, I checked the calendar and pointed to the day. Boom I was pregnant.

I hope you have a bit more fun getting there than I did.

Take care.

P.S. I was never on the pill so that may have been a factor.

My ex didn't want to have kids, so I never had any. I'm 35 now, and just hope so bad that I meet "the guy" in the next year or so, so that I'm still able to have a family.

Good luck with yours, hope all works out well for you.

Good luck! Just to let you know, I had my first at 35 and my second at 39 (after 3 months of clomid) It can happen!

Good luck Kim!!! Where abouts in Saskatchewan do you live? It's a great place to raise a BIG family!

Kim,
I had my last one at 35...he snuck in on us! I don't know what I would do without him.
(We have three)... My mom had me (the last of 5 ) when she was 42 and my dad was 52.

You can do it!!!

Good luck!

Yeah!! Baby making is so much fun I suggest you talk to your ob first, see if she wants to check you for anything. I wish you a very lucky, quick TTC process

Congrats. I can't wait to see you have to change your username. Good luck.

I am very happy for you. We have decided no more babies for us. Went into preterm labor last time and was told it will happen again. If you want to speed things up there is a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility that explains so much. With both of our kids, we got pregnant on the first try. Good luck!!!

Kim, I hate to be a wet blanket, but my .02 is that it might be a good idea to see if this change of heart will stay that way. I'd hate to have him change his mind again.

But congratulations, it's obvious how happy this has made you.

 

[Mad4Mickey]

That is great GOOD LUCK !!!
I remember how excited I was when I was trying to have my 2 .


Wishing a "tagged" night

We're trying to get pregnant too. I will turn 31 in Sept. and my dd will be 4 in Dec. We're not doing anything actively (charting temps or anything like that), we're just not doing anything to prevent it. It took us about 3 months last time to get pregnant, and we've been trying longer than that this time, but that's o.k. We have this big family reunion at WDW in Aug. 2004, so if it doesn't happen by Sept. this year, we'll put it off until after we get home. I don't want to plan this thing and then get there and not be able to do anything!!! Anyway, sorry to ramble, CONGRATULATIONS to you and I wish you quick success!!!!

Good luck...

Good luck! Oh and I had twins in my 30's

Thanks for all the good thoughts! Damo, we live in Emerald Park just outside of Regina. I have a yard big enough for a baseball diamond (took 4 semi loads of sod last month just to landscape it!) so a big family wouldn't be a problem! However, 2 kids will suit me fine! Serena, I appreciate your concern but my DH takes absolutely forever to make a decision on anything important (and unimportant too which drives me insane at times) so I know for a fact that he's positive about wanting another one or he would never have said anything to me about it. It took him months just to decide whether we should get cable or a satellite dish! I mean he had Excel spreadsheets going to compare the costs and the channels you would get etc. It was crazy!! I'm pretty laid back so I'm used to his perpetual planning (although the good thing is is that by the time he decides something he is sure about it). I think he's probably been thinking about this for years now but simply said he didn't think he wanted anymore so I wouldn't bug him about it, LOL. I'm glad that I haven't been nagging him about it though because he came to this decision on his own (so I know it's what he really wants). And in case anyone is interested, he eventually decided on a satellite dish!! I love him dearly, but he is not exactly impulsive, LOL!!
