This is not a part of the forum i've been in before, as I joined when pregnant with my first!
But I guess you could say I am WTT baby number 2!
Complicated as its baby number 1 for us...but baby number 3 between us :blush:
We both have a daughter to a different partner so this will be our first baby together!

It's quite a 'new' relationship, some people will call us crazy, but its gotten serious very soon, currently looking into getting a house together! Fingers crossed by the end of March we should be living together!

We are WTT September 2012, NTNP until then, but i'd say more so WTT!
I'm so excited and look forward to spending some time in here.

I'm going to have a nosy through some journals and hopefully start my own tonight, or tomorrow :flower: ]]> Waiting To Try FayDanielle http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/877256-shying.html http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/877167-amoxicillian-bcp.html Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:35:00 GMT Hi, I just have a quick question, Do anti biotics lessen the bc the first day you start taking it, Or does it take longer to take effect?

Because I was made redundant, freelanced and then started a new job we couldn’t try before now, but we also had/have relationship problems. Basically he is very chilled out but can be selfish and a bit lazy (not in the big scheme of things but enough to piss a control freak off!), while I am fairly highly strung, with a temper and everything I do revolves around my work and family so we do have clashes.

Anyway, the point of my post is that he has finally agreed to start tcc but it feels like a hollow victory. I have spent so much emotion and energy persuading him that we will work out and that the stress of a new baby will not finish us that I feel any excitement and anticipation has gone. I am 41 in April so we don’t even have time to hang around. I’m due to ovulate this weekend but even I, having been obsessed for the last few months, feel reluctant. I wanted it to be romantic, exciting, collaborative but now I just feel I have bullied him into it.

I'm feeling the broodiness badly lately and just don't know how to get a grip on it all. I can pinpoint it to one particular weekend of events and even understand why it reared its head, but I can't escape it.

In November, on the 26th, a close friend had her little boy and is over the moon and such a natural mum. On the 28th/early hours of the 29th I had a serious car accident where I rolled my car twice through a field (luckily "minor" injuries but no idea how!) and those two things at once seem to have triggered all the feelings I was managing to suppress through working too much. I even had started saving money for the future, but of course that's all gone after being off work for 2 months.

Since then OH has started adding in more little comments about the future, the accident scared him as I called him immediately and he was the first one to get to me and see the car. It shook him up pretty badly and there were quite a few nightmares following it. He's okay now, but it definitely opened up something as we've had little comments that make it clear he wants us to get married and start a family somewhere down the line.

The only problem is I want to start planning and saving now. Except we've not quite been together a year yet, I'm 20 and he's 23 and right now he's working 80ish hours a week so we don't get time to spend quality time together to talk about things like that properly. I don't want to sound naive or have anyone think I'm being a silly kid because I'm really not, I know he is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I just wish the next few years would hurry up so we can save some money up, buy our house, get married and think about starting our family.

Ever since my accident I can't help but realize how much I want to be a mum. I've always known, but the thought at the time that I hadn't achieved the one thing I want more than anything, was pretty horrible. I just wish I knew how to keep myself occupied and keep the broodiness to a minimum.

Sorry for the length of all this, I guess I haven't really been able to talk to anyone about this and I know you ladies will all understand where I'm coming from more than 99% of my friends. I just need advice on how to help ease all of this enough to stop myself feeling sad that we are a good 4-5 years off TTC :( ]]> Waiting To Try sarahfh http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/876392-something-major-happens-change-your-thoughts.html http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/876353-lotus-birth-you-gotta-read.html Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:56:10 GMT Ok I don't know if I'm the last to find this information, but I've just discovered something called Lotus Birth.... which is the practice of leaving the umbilical cord attached to both the baby and the placenta following birth, without clamping or severing, and allowing the cord the time to detach from the baby naturally. Hmmmmm...... In this way the baby, cord and placenta are treated as a single unit until detachment occurs, generally two to three days after birth.

:shrug:

Seems kind of natural, but would you want to lug around the nasty red placenta for 3 days?? :haha: Every one might be scared to hold baby haha.

What do you ladies think??? Love to hear some opinions on this.....

My husband & I got married the end of last year and previously we had agreed to start trying once we get married. but since then my husband has said he wants to wait a bit longer as we are trying to sell 2 houses (his old one & the one we live in now) so we can buy one together.

I have... It feels like I have babies or anything baby related on my mind 24/7 and I feel like I am wishing my life away until August when we ttc.

I have put on a few other posts about our reason to wait until then and it is because we have booked our summer holiday and we made a concious decision to go on one last luxury holiday before a baby comes along. We love our holidays and we always treat ourselves as a reward for working hard but when we decided to TTC, we wanted to have one last bit of luxury and 'us' time on holiday before it all changed. The only thing stopping us ttc now is the hol. I wouldn't mind being pregnant on holiday but we are flying long haul and I am not keen on the 9.5 hour flight and how good it would be for baby. Also, god forbid something happened over there I would not be sure what medical care would be like. Plus, we are all inclusive so want to enjoy a few cheeky cocktails!

So, back to my original point, I can't seem to shake off the feeling of really wanting a baby and I know we are doing the right thing by waiting until after the holiday but broodiness is rediculous right now! Lots of friends and people who I went to school/uni with are either pregnant or have become mums in the last six months so I just feel like I am surrounded by lovely babies and bumps. Hubby knows how I feel but I don't really feel like I have anyone to talk to who will fully understand.

Well after a very lengthy discussion with OH earlier we have now decided to TTC end of this year/beginning of next year :happydance:

OH proposed at christmas and we had planned to get married June 2013 (with plan of TTC after wedding) and had even provisionally booked a venue but after looking at the finances we realised we would be really pushing it to save up in time for next year :cry: So we have put the wedding off until October 2014 which means we can possibly TTC at the end of this year with the baby being due around October 2013 which would give me (hopefully) enough time to lose baby weight etc before the wedding but also means LO will be close in age to baby 2!

Feel a bit sad that we have so long to wait for the wedding after all the planning I have been doing and if I don't fall pregnant easily we will have to stop TTC and wait until after the wedding which would mean a larger age gap between LO and baby 2 but I feel like this is the right decision and a big weight off my mind as been major stressing over this!

I'm so excited to join the forums! :D

I've been a lurker for quite some time now, and I can finally, FINALLY say, I am currently waiting to try! :cloud9:

A little background information on me:

I'm Emily, I turn 19 in August, I live with my boyfriend in our own flat and we have lots of extra money saved up. Our 1 year anniversary is 21st February, and I am going to come of my pilll (Marvelon) on the 17th February. I had a miscarriage at 16 years old, with what I believe was a little boy, and his name is Malakai. I finally convinced my boyfriend that now is the right time to try for a baby, we are both secure, safe, in love, have money and a promised home for the next few years, extra space and time, and so much love to give.

We stayed up until 3am last night deciding on names and we've come up with Dimitriy (Russian spelling), Blaze or Raziel for a little boy, and only Aerin for a little girl!

I don't know how to put a ticker on but I'll give it a try!

I am 19 and OH is 21. I'm starting Uni this fall and OH works full time (hasn't graduated from Uni... and hasn't any plans to start any time soon).

The most ideal situation for us is that we wait until at least June 2015 (when I'll be done with Uni) to start TTC. However our set date right now is for this November.

You wanna know why? Because I don't want OH's siblings to have a baby before us.

It was the roughest time in my life when my sister (3 years older than me) announced she was pregnant. I was truly devastated. I always invisioned me being the first to have a baby... me giving my parents their first grandchild, me giving my grandparents their first great-grandchild. I've gotten over it now of course and I love my nephew to pieces.

Now the race is to give OH's parents their first grandchild and OH's grandparents their first great-grandchild. OH has 4 siblings, 3 of which are older than him. Only one of his brothers is really in a spot in his life where he could have a baby though.

I honestly want to WTT until I've graduated Uni, travelled, etc. But I honestly don't think I will be able to hold up if any of OH's siblings announce their having a baby. Just thinking about it makes me want to :cry:. I don't know what to do. I want to wait but at the same time I just can't... I can't... I can't. For the sole reason of wanting to be first.

I guess I don't really know why I'm posting this but I just had to let it out. ]]> Waiting To Try tuesday_ http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/874237-actually-want-wtt.html http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/874155-baby-names.html Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:30:29 GMT Hy Ladies, have you any ideas what you wanna call your future bambinos??? :thumbup: xxx Hy Ladies, have you any ideas what you wanna call your future bambinos???

we are ttc in june this year and i am stuck on bedroom arrangements

My query is i have a DD who is 15month so if i concieve straight away she will be 2 and half when baby2 arrives however we only have 2 bedrooms so will have to share at some point and i am wondering what to do about furniture? we live in a bungalow so when DD was first born she used to go to sleep in her moses basket at night in living room (until she was about 6 weeks) then we would carry her in to our room, at about 4 months we moved her into her own room however wont be able to do it as early this time around so new baby will need to be in with us until not waking in the night.

Our room not big enough for a cot and most babies outgrow their moses baskets at around 4month so not sure what to buy also we have a furniture package in the nursery at the mo which has been discontinued so wont be able to order a matching cot do you think good idea to sell the set and buy a new one?

Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions would be much appreciated- my heads in a tizz!!!

I'm Sarah, I'm 28 and my LO, Olivia is nearly 6 months old. I ideally wanted a shorter age gap between LOs but with nursery being so pricey we're going to wait till she's 2 before we TTC that way she will be almost starting school by the time baby #2 goes into nursery.

So our TTC date will be Olivia's second birthday - 12th august 2013 :D

My SIL is due her first baby in May and me and my OH may be thinking of TTC our first in the next few months or so. Our original plans were end of 2012 but we may try sooner. Our due dates wouldn't be at the same time, however I cant help thinking that if I were to announce my pregnancy in the next few months,she might feel that I am stealing her thunder and vice versa. To be fair though, she didn't plan her pregnancy, and me and OH have been discussing babies for years.

Mum's reaction was that her and Dad had spoken the other night and figured they've done 'alright' bringing us up that we haven't had a baby yet, don't smoke, don't do drugs, and I don't go out much (my sister goes out every week if not more).

So whilst I don't understand her reaction to my sister.. saying she can't do anything cause she's 19 etc, surely you'd care more about your kid getting pregnant? Ah well.. thats irrelevant.

My point is, I said that I'm glad we're past the point of me being scared to tell her.

If I wasn't getting married in June, I would get my implant out now. But we have agreed after the wedding, so will be sporting a mini me by christmas hopefully :)

I never thought I wanted kids but in the past year my mind has changed. I guess there is such a thing as the "biological clock" as I am 35 so running out of time. Recently the "urge" is out of control. I've been married for over 5 years and we said we didn't plan to have kids but we also said "never say never". I REALLY want one now (who knew). Now I have to figure out how to tell him. We have mentioned it gently in passing and he is worried about the whole thing because he is older (45). I think he will be open to the idea although fearful but I think that is normal.

I know this is what I want and I feel we need to move now since we are older. Now, I just need to tell my husband. I have it all thought through, I have made lists, budgeted it out, researced detals etc. But, everytime I plan to bring it up, I clam up. I get nervous....I think because I'm pretty sure he will agree and it will make it real. I have a deadline though of this moth as it is Health Insurance Enrolment time through work this month and we need to sign up as our private insurance doesn't cover maternity and although more expensive, the one through work is better coverage.

How do I say the words......?:dohh::shrug:

I'm hoping that having a place here to talk privately and get advice will help give me the strength to move forward with my feelings and get started on the road to a family.

I went to one yesterday and it has got me thinking about my own - sad I know but I became a bit obsessive when planning my wedding so the whole baby planning will be the same I am sure!

I have been to a few now and they seem to be getting more and more popular in the UK. The ones I have been to have been quite relaxed and at the mum to be or grandmother to be's house with a few daft games, an 'advice'/guest book to sign and chance for a good natter which I have really enjoyed. There is obviosly a big market for baby showers now coz there is so much stuff online that you can buy e.g themed decorations, games, stationery, and tableware.

So, what are your thoughts and will you have one? I will but will make sure it is an excuse to have the girls round for a giggle and hopefully people won't feel under pressure to buy gifts. That is the only thing I have noticed from the ones I have been to is that everyone buys a gift for the baby, myself included which I don't have a problem with but I wouldn't want people to feel like they had to come with a present xx

I was wondering if there are any people on here who are WTT because they are at university ?

I am in my 2nd year doing Biomedical Science and my OH is in his 2nd year doing Computer science and we are WTT until around August 2012 so then if I fall straight away, by the time I pop I will have finished uni all together !

Anyone else ? ]]> Waiting To Try BeesBella http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/873020-university-students.html http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/873013-wtt-july-2012-a.html Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:10:57 GMT Hey :flower:

So I have always had the thought that I'd like to try for number 2 once LO is a year old and me and OH talked properly the other night and agreed that unless something big happens before then that we will start TTC in July :happydance:

I'm about to come off mat leave and am jobhunting as we moved when LO was 5 weeks old (that was FUN) so can't return to my old job. We may move a few miles up the road if I can get a job in the right area, we will be a lot better off if I can get a job in a different place and we'd be able to get a mortgage (currently renting a dilapidated house) on a brand new house which will be cheaper than our current rent. So we'd like to move before I get pg lol!

Anyone else waiting until July?

Hi

I try and keep healthy, I exercise allot - at least 5 days a week; spinning classes / running / workout DVDs etc.

I love it and want to stay healthy and fit when I do eventually get pregnant.

But is a lot of exercise a negative while trying to conceive? Especially if I do get pregnant but don't know it.

My husband thinks I should carry on as I enjoy it and its keeping me healthy but dont want to do anything that may make it harder to get pregnant.

Maybe I'm being silly!! any views? ]]> Waiting To Try alice1 http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/872809-exercising-while-trying.html http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/872589-uhhh-dont-know-do-am-being-irrational-should-consider-divorce.html Sun, 05 Feb 2012 02:28:10 GMT so I am beyond frustrated... my marriage is finally "normal" for the past few yrs after a very rough patch... Basically my husband had no part of my 2 pregnancies and I am very resentful and hurt from that.
Now that our relationship has gotten to what a normal marriage should be I want to have another baby.
One minute my husband is all for it the next he's not. Now he is basically saying no he doesn't want to have another baby.
I do...
Do I stay with a man who is going to take away something that means so much to me and have to just deal with it?
Should I consider leaving him?
How can I be happy with someone who doesn't care how I feel about something?
If I'm not happy how can we expect to have a happy relationship??

Should I consider donor sperm... it is my body so technically its my choice right??

I have been up crying all night so maybe I am being a little emotional and over-reacting...

Would like to hear the opinions from some other ladies... what would you do?

Am i totally losing my mind???

I should add that we continue to BD with no protection... u would think if he didnt want to have a baby he would take some sort of precaution yet he doesn't even pull-out...

My problem is, when I feel super broody I think ' what are we waiting for, let's start now', but then when I really think about it I panic.. ' what about my job, what about childcare, can we afford it, will our relationship handle a baby?...) I just think of everything that could be an issue and end up thinking 'oh maybe we should wait'.

This has resulted in me really wanting a baby but being scared of it at the same time and thus kinda wishing the decision was taken out of my hands.

I'm 24, 2 years married, generally healthy and ready to start a family. The thing that makes me hesitant is my family history of PCOS. My mom and grandmother have both had ovaries removed throughout my life and my irregular cycles have been an issue since I was 16. I don't think my mom had trouble conceiving and seeing as my mom was a honeymoon-baby, I don't think my grandma had trouble either.

My husband and I have been thinking about it for about a year and he has decided he is ready. We are thinking we would really like to get trying this spring. I just don't know where to start.

I'm kind of scared to find out if I even ovulate at all. Obviously I should schedule a doctors appointment to discuss it. Is there anything else I should be doing? Any books I should pick up?

Any support from fellow PCOS want-to-be-moms would be wonderful too. Or anyone who has successfully conceived with PCOS.

I have spoken to my mum about it and she is over the moon saying that the thought of being a grandma really excites her. I have kept it from my dad (mum and dad are divorced) and he will only know when i tell him i am pregnant. I am close to my dad but its not something I really want to share with him when we are ttc, may sound daft but I don't want to indirectly tell him we are having s*x! I know when the time comes he will be really happy though.
I have hinted to my mother in law and although she seemed happy, she seemed more concerned that i may have a baby before hubby's brother's wedding in June next year which annoyed me but that is another story!

I have told some of my friends but only the ones who are either pregnant or have small children, mainly because I feel like they can relate to how I am feeling. I don't think some of my friends will understand so have kept it to myself.

I am really glad that i have found this forum because there is so much out there for people who are already pregnant or at least ttc but I have always felt a bit daft wanting to post on them when i am not even ttc yet. It is great to know there are others out there who can offer their support and feel the same xx ]]> Waiting To Try vikster http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/871232-have-you-told-people-you-ttc-reactions.html http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/871140-do-ovulation-sticks-work.html Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:44:56 GMT Is it worth buying them?

Anyway ... i was thinking of TTC in June/July/August (or that was the long term plan) but Im now wondering about moving it forward to April/May. The only slight down side of that would be that the babies birthday would be January, same month as mine and ive always hated it.

I know its silly really just becase you start TTC doesn't mean its going to happen. Anyway just wondering if anybody else has thought about when the birthday will be etc.

I stopped taking the pill on 4th Jan and just wondering what were your experiences with coming off bcp? I'd been on Femodette for about 10 years, and a couple of other bcps before that, having been on something for 15 years altogether - gulp! To be honest I can't remember what my period was like before that so not too sure what to expect or when to expect things to start! If I had a normal cycle I'd be thinking something should happen in the next few days, but who knows after being on the pill that long!

I'm not on birth control.

There was minimal penetration (just the tip of his penis for approx 2 seconds before I screamed and got someone's attention) and no ejaculation, but I know women can get pregnant from pre-ejaculation, so I took Plan B about 34 hours after the encounter.

I was due to begin my period Feb. 4th, but on Jan. 26th, 5 days after the incident, I started bleeding in what seemed to be a period. I definitely filled pads, but it was not as heavy as my usual period is. The bleeding lasted until today.

I'm wondering if this can be a side effect of Plan B or if I need to be worried about pregnancy (perhaps this was implantation bleeding).

I hope this is the right subforum for this. I have a lot of questions that have little to do with each-other, but I don't want to be all over the place.
I'm extremely wordy, that'll never change, please bear with me :cry: Also I may come off as blunt or not having thought things through, but that is just because I'm trying to be less wordy...

I've been wanting children, or a child, for a while now. My major concern however, is my fertility.

Here's a bit of history that worries me fertility-wise.

In summer 2009, I had a miscarriage. I only realized that when my gynec. explained my false positive on a pregnancy test to me, which I did 3 months after that. She said it must have been leftover pregnancy hormones playing tricks on me. That pregnancy had been an accident and I didn't know about it until the miscarriage.

But the problem starts here. Please bear with me.

That miscarriage - I was denied medical attention for it, so it's merely an assumption: I should have had my period, but instead, I had very big (almost the size of a fried egg) lumps of flesh and little bleeding - was caused by poisoning. 2 weeks before, I'd taken 9.6 grams of Phenobarbital and 6 grams of Diazepam. Please don't judge me; that was then.
Doctors said those substances leave the body without causing any long-term harm other than the acute symptoms. But doctors have disappointed me before and after, so I'm sceptical.

Also, from age 11 to 21, I was very detached from life and didn't take care of myself at all and carried an untreated yeast infection around down there, until I tackled and cured it at age 21. But I did read that those can render you infertile if neglected. Or is it only as long as you're actually sick that it's a problem?

In 2011 I had a gastric bypass surgery, which isn't doing so great. But yeah, I got a dysfunctional stomach now.

But concerning the neglectful lifestyle, I changed radically when I ascended to Israel.

Now you've had my medical history and the past, and I'd like to know: What are the chances of my fertility having been affected by those, and what tests should I get done? As a single I'm signing up at a sperm bank; they however ask mainly for Jewish hereditary disease screenings since they only sell high quality Jewish samples to healthy Jewish women. I know poor connective tissue runs in the family, which will be essential to my next question.

The present is: I have a saggy tummy and breasts due to rapid weight loss 10 years ago, and I want a body lift (thighs, arms, breasts and tummy all at once).
Should I get the procedure before or after pregnancy? I have poor conn. tissue, and while pregnancy and the end of breast-feeding (if I can still do that, after a plastic surgeon butchered my breasts 2 years ago, leaving them even saggier and scarred) will surely leave me saggier than ever, I kind of feel miserable NOW. Ideally I want to find a man and father, but not looking like this. But I know that caring for a baby will be more important than sitting in the hospital recovering from vanity.
When should I do it, keeping the connective tissue in mind? Before pregnancy or when the child is old enough I can be hospitalized? It's so bad, I got stretch marks on my shoulders when I was 10. But while I want that procedure done, the well-being and well-timed conception of my child, is my highest priority.

Also, I have 5 cats I love very, very much. They are indoor cats, so you can imagine their sand boxes... I've been exposed to cat germs since 1998, does that make me - and more importantly, my unborn child - immune/robust? I would never want to endanger my kid's health, but these cats are very dear to me.

So which tests do you think I should do? And how to time that body lift? What to do with my cats?
Socially, I have a lot of support from my Jewish girl friends and family, who are all about children. My body and my cats are what concerns me the most.

I'm a little worried because my sister has been NTNP for 3 years with nary a blip, my dad's side of the family has notorious fertility issues, and I myself have been sexually active for 4 years (on the pill, off the pill, condoms, pulling out, every type of BC there is) and have never been pregnant even when I was an idiot and should have been. I actually have a doctor's appointment today because I'm pretty sure I'm in the process of having a miscarriage. After extensive research on the topic, I'm pretty sure this would be my fourth miscarriage, although that's never been confirmed by a medical professional. And not the "Oh my period was late and unusually heavy" kind of thing (which is normal if you're late because of the added uterine lining), but the "Oh, I bled off-and-on for about a month and a half straight with no discernable difference to indicate an actual menstrual cycle," kind of thing, and a "bled through a tampon/pad combo every hour" kind of thing.

So even though we're WTT until at least May (when we get married), I'm really worried about the possibility of TTC with no success once we actually do make that decision. And I am not really sure how to discuss this with my soon-to-be DH. ]]> Waiting To Try Smithwick http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/867326-wtt-but-worried-infertility.html http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/867323-can-join-you-ladies.html Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:44:07 GMT Hello All,

Because this is how I'm feeling!!

I am really excited to TTC#2 I am not wanting to do so right now or feeling desperately impatient, we have reasons for needing and wanting to wait which I am happy with BUT I don't know when we can TTC which is so frustrating as I am the kind of person that likes to plan. My ticker indiciates our ideal TTC date, January 2013 I won't go into the hows or whys because I'll problem ramble enough in this thread as it is, however, this is looking less and less likely. In March DH will find out where he'll be posted, there's basically 3 possibilities, he will be deployed this summer, this winter or next summer.....and as I want a 3 year age gap I need to work around this.

Most likely he will be sent on deployment for 6 months this winter October-April ish give or take a month, bang smack in the middle of our dream date. Now we could try and TTC before he leaves (but not so early that he'd miss the birth) because I would be happy with a 2.5 age gap, but I don't really want to be pregnant while DH is going through his first tour, I don't want him worrying about us and tbh I could do without the stress of working, toddler, pregnant and afghan. We could try in r n r which would be perfect probably quite close to our ideal date but with it being a 2 week window that is not likely lol :haha: so our only other option is to wait until he is back 2013, which means at least a 3.5 year gap, longer than I wanted but we'll make it work.....

Oh and there is a slim possibility he'll go winter 2013 which will really blow things out the water, because even though we could have our ideal ttc date it would mean he would miss the birth/first 6 months of baby's life if we fell when we wanted, this is what I am dreading, I don't mind so much the missing of the birth but I had to do the first 4 months by myself last time and that was really hard I would rather not do it again.

Sorry that was a real ramble, I know we will make it work whatever happens, and of course I can only stress so much because it doesn't matter how much we plan only nature can decide when we have a baby, but hopefully in March we'll have more of an idea.

So, anyone else frustrated to not have a proper TTC date yet??? ]]> Waiting To Try MarineWAG http://www.babyandbump.com/waiting-to-try/867242-anyone-else-not-know-their-ttc-date-due-reasons-beyond-your-control.html
