Hmmm, I don't really dream, and when I do it is usaully people killing people or chasing scenes. Maybe I should stop watching horror movies and watch more romantic comedies. LOL!
Well this month was just about the most horrible for hormones. :( For about 1 week I was bloated and just felt awful. I was convinced I was pregnant because I have never felt so bad. But today I am the opposite of pregnant. LOL! So another succesful month. Wow, I only have 2 more months and then we are supposed to stop preventing. That is so scary and exciting.

Does 'stop preventing' mean you're ok with conceiving, but not really trying? If so, I think we're going to skip that part all together, lol. We're planning to TTC in four months, but have only prevented by charting so it'll be an easy switch. It is very scary and exciting!

Yes, I don't think my husband is ready or will every be really ready for the out and out we are trying.
He did not want kids and is really fearful about this step in our lives. So for his sake, we will probably never "try".
We are always Ok with conceiving, just some times are better than others. :)

its true we don't always know when Gods timing is and we set our own times...but there is no perfect time and we will never be prepared and that is very true.
God gudies and directs us though, I know he is telling us we have growin and learning to do before starting a family but I don't know when His timing for us is to have a baby...I just know it isn't yet but He will keep guiding and directing us!
We both knew that when we got married we wanted to have children and knew that was a possbility when being married that we could have a baby.

I don't remember my dreams!!
Thanks for that info, Rachel. I don't take any Omega-3 suppliment and probably need to start since fish around here isn't very fresh. I can't stand the taste of it if it is the least little bit fishy!

For us, age has a lot to do with it. I'm 35 and don't want to have babies too late in age. On that note though, someone told me that whether you think you are ready or not, if you got pregnant, you will be ready. Just the fact of having one causes you to think about everything you need for baby and for yourselves.
That's pretty comforting for me when I think about it.

Age for me too. I am 37. But I was 35 when I got married, and I am glad we waited a couple years.
We have had to work out a lot of living together issues. I am happy we got to do it when we could focus on each other.

We couldn't have done it right off, either, for the same reasons. Our marriage wouldn't be anywhere near as strong if we'd had children in the first year or two. We were still trying to stabilize our relationship then. Adding children would have given us an excuse to ignore the building of our marriage, which would be a hard habit to break.

We take the suppliments from Standard Process, they are made from whole foods and don't taste fishy at all. They actually taste a little lemony (I swallow mine, the kids chew theirs). The more I read, the more I think it's about reducing Omega-6 intake (mostly ingested from corn products: corn-fed beef and milk, corn oils, etc.). Too many Omega-6s are the cause of the inflammation. The body needs them, but in a 1:1 ration with Omega-3s. But with commercial food production, we're bombarded with Omega-6s.

Age was an issue for us too, even though we weren't "ready". Women in my dad's family with PCOS rarely conceive or carry babies to term. DD is only the second child born in several generations, and the only other one(my cousin) was born when my aunt was 19 and in college. My other aunt did several rounds of IVF with no success at all, which is rather discouraging when you get diagnosed with PCOS at 17 or 18(which I did).
So we figured we would trust God and jump in with both feet. It's been hard, I will admit that but everyone I have talked to who has become a parent between 20-45 has said that having children challenged their marriage. But even with everything we have worked through, and the things we are still working through it's been nothing but an utter blessing to have Gabby.
It's also helped me, in that I've come to a place where I don't have a desperate longing for a child. We are going to start TTC in August, but if we never conceive again we'll just adopt or be completely content with having one child. We are content just with her right now, but I don't want to have an only child. It seems ok when they are little, but totally sucks as an adult IMO.

I am at extreme freak out mode right now about not preventing. It has been fine because it has always been in a few months, or a year, but now all of a sudden it is next month.
Yikes!
And I am not in any better position than I was when I pushed it out 6 months ago.
Not sure what to do.

It's not actually very long since you started taking thyroxine - I'd suggest you wait a bit longer before TTC.

I want to, but I don't think I am supposed to. I have prayed about this and I have a date of when we are supposed to stop preventing.
Really the time in my life is not right in any way, but I know that whatever happens, God will cover it, and protect me and my husband. I don't do well with the statement I just made. I try to control everything. It is scary for me to step out and not have a plan or control. I don't know if I will stick to the date, but I want to believe I will.
From what I have read I just need to watch my levels from early on in pregnancy.

That's for someone whose levels and dosage are stable. IMO it would be wise to check with your doctor before TTC.

Successful month here too. Boy am I glad to have my period, it's a relief after FOUR weeks of spotting. Darned birth control sent my body haywire this month.

Well, I've been on it for over a year, with a one month break. I've been on this kind for 6 months. Last month I felt like I was ovulating or getting a cyst, and the spotting started about 12-14 days after that... I think I probably did O(we use a backup method just in case) and then the spotting drug on because of the birth control. I'm on the kind where you only have a period every 3 months, and this week was *finally* the week for my period.

Ah, I have heard with the BC that you have a period every 3months that they normally would be spotting until a year or so after you had been on it for awhile...
Some how I think having a period every 3months would make me parnoid lol although it sounds nice not to have one for that long... are they really painful when you do have one?
