Silver!

Not much happening here right now. Procrastinating something fierce about doing housework today & the place desperately needs it. Christmas presents need finalising & wrapping, putting that off too. I'm very unsure of which presents to actually give to DD as she's been very naughty & rude of late. TBH, I'm at the point of only wanting to give her 1 gift or nothing at all. Its extremely frustrating.

Still no news on TTC#2 here, am getting rather impatient & annoyed now. DH bought a Brock Commodore yesterday, he's a rev head & been wanting to get his hands on one for ages. So, I want to know, what his answer is, NOW!!!

BBL, off to finish this tip of a house!

Edited for spelling errors.

Just wanted to catch the thread, have a very sick bubba so will come back later for personals (again).

[mum2two2010]

Hi all can I join? We are thinking about TTC #3 next year.

[Likeemunusual]

PrincessMiasMummy - My house needs a full on spring clean as it hasn't been done properly in ages. I am hoping to get some done after Christmas on the public holidays. If DH gets a commodore doesn't that mean you get something too? Fx for you.

gisses - hope bub gets well soon.

Welcome mum2two2010. I will add you to the list.

PrincessPeach - glad you had a great time at the Christmas do and that your friend's bub was so good. I saw my nieces on the weekend - one is 2 and one is 4.5 months. It made me have those "I want one now please" feelings too. My 2 yr old niece comes out with the funniest things - she's hilarious.

The banana bread was delicious but I had no sultanas this time so it feels like it is missing something to me. Still love it though. Nothing else exciting happening other than we went in to a Telstra shop to change our phones over to pre-paid from Vodafone/3 now that we are out of contract. The service was awful at the store but hey at least we'll have good coverage and we are not contracted to stay with them.

I went and tried a dress on today too as I need something to wear on Boxing Day when we have our second family Christmas do at the IL's (BIL and SIL will be here then). I have lost quite a few centimetres off everywhere and I am amazed. I was only at the bigger end of a size 12 and I am now a borderline size 10/12 depending on the brand/label/clothing item. But those awful change room mirrors didn't make me feel depressed which is great and I tried on a medium sized dress and it was too BIG! It was a great feeling and thanks to the exercise and eating better/slower/less than I was I feel energised and less stressed. Life is good right now for the most part. Except that i can't find a dress to wear at Christmas that fits but that is the least of my worries really.

Hi ladies,

I was hoping I would be able to join your group. I'm 27, I have a 18 month old DS and my DH would love to have a second (like yesterday) but I have been the one putting the brakes on.

I really was not a fan of pregnancy (bleeding throughout) and add on an awful induction / 12 hour labour / foetal distress and giving birth via emergency c-section, I'm really not that keen to do it all again.... Also I found the first 6 -10 weeks of my DS life incredibly hard to cope with and when I think about it now I am saddened by how I just floated through all those special times... completely uncaring about what was going on around me, and wondering what the hell I had done.....

I wouldn't change anything for the world obviously but I worry about not coping with a toddler and a newborn and I worry about missing out on the special moments with my DS.

I guess I was wondering if there was anyone else out there who had misgivings about trying for #2, I definitely want a second child (eventually) but I just don't know when to start trying (or how to get over the issues from the previous pregnancy).

Or maybe I'm just over thinking it all What's holding everyone else back? Am I the only Mum who is halting the baby making plans?

[PrincessPeach]

Rach, Welcome in!

Dont have a child as yet, so i can't answer from a mum's perspective, however the reason for my wait is because i've got two weddings to go to early next year, both involving over 3 hours of travel each way and i want to enjoy both without worrying about food/drink/etc..

Though my SIL had such a rotten time when she deliverd her first she really doesnt want to go back for a second. She hasn't expressed a reason why, though at any family gatherings when people ask us both about any more grandkids for out PIL she does say to ask me...her DS is 16 months.

Hi everyone,

This is this is my first post and I am completely new to this and not familiar with alot of the jargon /acronyms etc.

I am newly single as of mid 2011. I am 34yrs old (I turned 34 in October). I started to worry about my single status and wanting children so I had my AMH levels tested this month. I was told it was 4.6 pmol/L. The letter says that the range means “Low AMH Level: Possibility of abnormal ovarian reserve”

Needless to say I was really shocked, upset, have been trying not to cry and went into full on panic mode. My first thoughts were that I might miss out altogether, that I might have to be a single mum with a donor and find ‘the one’ later on…..and that I would have to let go of my 1 -2 yr dating a guy period, then marriage – then kids dreams.

I also have a "subseptate uterus" and I have been told that this may very well cause me to miscarry the first time and I will have to try again – but then again there’s no sure thing with that. So I could potentially lose another year of time and AMH levels there!

I know we all change at different rates but, my questions are – generally speaking how many years does this AMH figure mean I have left?

What is the average AMH range for someone of my age? How much does this ‘generally’ decrease each year?

What steps should I be taking at this stage in life to give myself every chance I can of not missing out on children? (Besides trying to find a guy).

I have made an appointment for the end of January to speak to a fertility specialist – I guess we will cover freezing eggs etc. But that appointment is so long away – I am really worried at the moment and need to hear some info asap.

Any advice on what my my game plan should be?

I was also thinking maybe I should wait until I am 35 or 36 (or whenever my AMH levels are down to 3.5) and get a sperm donor.
