Thinking about joining you ladies....
Here is the thing:
In order for my job to pay me maternity leave (not STD- which I pay into- or whatever it is the state pays- this is my employer paying my salary while out) I have to be employed for 18 months.
My 18 month anniversary is 11/30/08-
Baby #2- will be a repeat c-section- so Im sure the scheduled date will be a bit before my actually due date-
Basically to be on the safe side- Id want an EDD of mid-late December.
I just got AF today- so do I want to BD in March (if so- when exactly- 10 days from AF?) or wait until April???
TIA

Re: Thinking about joining you ladies....
Welcome!! Hope your stay is short!
I'd say start in March, just in case. I got PG with my DD in March and she was born Dec 6th.
If you're not sure when you O a lot of the ladies on here use the OPKs.
Everyone on her is super helpful, so ask anything! Good luck and lots of

Thanks-
I was just looking up the due date calculators- and it looks like if I get preggo in March- (since my last pd would the one that started today) Id be due- 11/30- I know that they'll prob take me a week before my due date for the c-section.
I dont think my boss- would short me because of a week- but I def. dont wanna take any chances..

YAY!

Have you been charting at all? If you don't want to try in March maybe you can chart in March so you will be more sure when you O and it might be easier in April.
I said "just in case" b/c I thought I would have no problem getting PG on my first try, and it's not working out the way I planned. I got AF today, so DH and I are heading into month 3 of TTC.
Our cycles are similar, if I got PG in March I'd be due on Dec 1st, lol!

Re: Thinking about joining you ladies....
If there's a chance your boss might be a total douche about it- then definitely wait til April. Things happen and you never know HOW early that baby may decide to come!!!
Welcome to TTC regardless- may your stay here be very short!!!

I really dont think she would be- but I dont wanna take any chances either... (I mean I pay into a seperate STD- so Ill get paid either way- but Id rather be getting 2 paychecks than 1 )
I guess Ill go off the pill this month- get my cycle straight and try at the end of March/beg on April after my next AF

Welcome! I would try to wait until April, so that things are all cleared up and there is no possibility of your boss being stupid.

Re: Thinking about joining you ladies....
I think you would be o.k. for March, if you O towrds the end of the month. Just to play it safe, I would start in April.
I am also having a repeat c-section, the Dr. told me that they usually do it about 10 days before edd.
Good Luck!

Re: Thinking about joining you ladies....
I would wait until April. I got pregnant in March ( DH's B'day ) and my daughter ended up coming 10 days early on Nov. 25th. Even though you'd have a schedualed c-section, you never know..babies have their own calendar.
Good Luck
