Hello All - New to TTC
Good Evening / Morning All
My husband and I have started talking about our second (my third) child over the past week. We have been seeing newborn's EVERYWHERE, and man they are so cute <--- super clucky
Anyway, my husband was told as a teenager that he would most likely not be able to have kids due to all of the medications he had over the period of a few years, the doctor basically said they'll swim the wrong way. Two months after we started seeing each other, our little boy was conceived... a very pleasant surprise. Ethan is now 2 months, 2 months.
We moved to Australia from New Zealand in January and have finally been able to set up house about a month ago. My oldest son lives in New Zealand with his father, and is due for his second visit in 9 more sleeps I can't wait.
I decided that I would like to lose some weight before we try to conceive but due to the fact we have not used protection for the last 8 or so months I have decided to start charting now, and if it happens before I get under 100kgs then it was meant to be now, but in terms of when we go to the doctor, if we have to go, to talk about how long we have been trying it will be from when I get below that goal weight.
I have NEVER charted before, I have never tried to get pregnant before so this world of TTC is somewhat new to me, so please bare with me with all the questions that I may come up with, any assistance will be greatly accepted.
So this has been the past month
Last Period - 22nd May 2010
Cycle Length - Unknown
Cramping - 15th June
Blood Test - 29th - Wait on results
Negative Pregnancy Test - 29th June
I've had a few medical issues over the past month so I'm putting my lateness down to these, although the doctor visit on Tuesday she said that the antibiotics would not have cause the lateness which is why a blood test was required before any other medication was looked at to help with any issues
2nd June - Got Tonsillitis (10 days of antibiotics)
11th June - 23rd - Extremely Sensitive Skin but no sign of infection
15th June - 18th June - Noticed more bathroom trips
18th June - Chest Infection - still getting over it, put on antibiotics
29th June - Increased blood pressure, slightly nauseated, dizzy and a strange headache
It's been an extremely exhausting month, and a lot naps have been taken, fingers crossed the next few weeks go well and I can start this journey with a healthy streak.
I look forward to getting to know you all, improving my health and getting on with charting my cycle (however that side of things work as I'm still to learn)
