Hi congrats on your good news im planning on ttc number 4 very soon too !
thats a good question on the ticker ild probably wait till im nearer the 3 month mark but ive seen them from 4 weeks on so i guess it wouldn't do any harm your in a good place to have one any way. how are you feeling do you normally suffer from morning sickness

im very sorry to here about your mum try not to beat your self up about it , your right to be positive and look forward to new life.
Good luck
