Awesome news!

My DH and I had a serious misunderstanding somewhere along the line that made me come to a wrong conclusion. I thought he didn't see a time in our future when it would be viable to have a second child, and had resigned myself to (what I thought was) this fact. I was even going to ask what he thought of making contraception a permanent, thought-free thing, ie. probably something surgical. Am I glad I didn't get to ask!

During this past week, DH was away for 3 nights on family business. When he returned, we naturally became intimate. It was now that he told me that he would like to have a second child. After looking at him like he was an alien , we talked about for the rest of the day about this. We eventually reached the conclusion (after fervent prayer and asking for a definitive sign from God) that the timing is right.

After resigning myself to never having another child, I am getting more excited by the day that this massive misunderstanding between DH and I came to light, and that I had it all wrong.

I just wanted to share this, and add that we're officially trying to conceive (TTC) Baby #2!

Great news... and have fun!

Thanks!

I just wanted to add that another great thing about this is that DH & I were only ever using condoms before, so I don't have to worry about a waiting period coming off the pill. (I used to take the pill and had to stop because of cycle disruptions, no matter what pill combination I took.) We can just go straight into TTC! Yay!

Also, another bonus is that I've been taking a multivitamin for a long time that has the RDI of folic acid/folate in it for those TTC or pregnant. This is just a good coincidence, as I was taking multivitamin as a general health practice.

Congrats, Jemma! And good luck!

Hi Jemma,
So pleased that you're trying for another child. Clearing up that misunderstanding must have brought you and your DH even closer which is great - I must say you must be a very patient and loving wife to accept that he didn't want another child when you did. Respect to you. Welcome to the TTC board - the chat thread is a great place where we all meet up and share our day to day cylce stories.

I've been trying for 6 months now for baby # 1. My hubbie and I really want it to happen this year. I can't wait to be a Mum one day.

God bless.

Thanks, you guys! I'm really excited to be able to post in this forum, considering I never thought I'd be able to.
