Ok I have been stalking this board for a while ;)

I am JoAnn, 30, a SAHM (former truck driver before getting PG w/G)
married to Mike, 31, since 01/01/04
Mom to Grant, who just turned 1 on July 19th!!

I am obviously TOC again. I would say I almost have baby fever!! I joined the site after I was already PG w/Grant, so this is my first time posting on this board. I have been having very strong feelings about TTC for a while now. I have been having a lot of issues in the last couple of mos, hormones going way off (OBGYN says its because I had a hormone imbalance from G slowing down BFing. My 2nd period PP was almost 2 MONTHS LONG!!!!! It took a month just to get it in check!!) So I had to go on BC even though I was dead-set against hormonal BC. I am on Nuvaring, the best one I have found to agree with me. I am also on a medicine for Endo even though I don't have it, from all the hormone/bleeding problems. Now that I have completely stopped bleeding I am hoping I can come off the Endo meds. I am going to call the doc in the morning about it. Anyways, as soon as my cycle gets in check and I don't have CRAZY long AF's, I am seriously thinking of TTC. I ended up having an emerg. Csection w/Grant, so I think I am just going to go for a planned one so I don't go for another 48 hr labor only to have it end in a Csec. I would love to have 2 boys, (I would be happy w/whatever God would give me though!) and have thought of doing the Shettles method when it comes time to TTC. Anyways, just thought I would introduce myself here!!

Sorry if this was rambling, its 2am here and I can't sleep, DH is on midnights this week :(


** Arty - if you read this, I remember you from the Birthing Natural board... CONGRATS on your PG!!

Edited to add : I have never charted before...when I got PG w/G we bought an ovulation test kit at Target and the day we bought it I took it home and tested, and I was ovulating!! 2 weeks later, BFP!!

Welcome JoAnn!!! OH sheesh, 2 months of bleeding! I really hope TTC #2 is as easy for you as TTCing little Grant (who is adorable, love the caption for his pic in the siggy)!!!!

Thank you very much ladies!! :D

I forgot to add that I promised myself I would lose another 25 lbs before we TTC... I have already lost 35. I gained 80 lbs while PG (lost 20 right after the birth, had mild pre-e and a ton of water) and the 25 will get me to my pre-pg weight. I would love to go lower though of course. But I MUST lose another 25 before we TTC. I just want to have a head start with lower weight on the next pregnancy, and eat a lot better so the same thing doesn't happen!!
