It took us 4 years to conceive our little girl,
including NTNP time. And happened when we least expected it

16 months, if you don't get pg right away, don't look at the statistics! When I did that, at first it wasn't bad because it was like 40 after 3 months, 50 at 4, but then we got to 6 and I think it was 70% and then almost 90% by a year and we still weren't pg and I felt like such a failure. I waited 10 months before seeking out infertility help, and was pushed away after a few tests and then came back 3 months later insisting that they help me. For me there was more to it and I actually had fertility problems, but I believe the "average" is 4 months.

Good luck, and don't let yourself get discouraged if it doesn't happen right away!

I'm a little scared as to how long it will take this time around this time around. A lot of women I work with are LTTC so I'm freaked out!

It's such a relief to hear you say that! I felt so selfish for wanting to just have my body back to normal for a while before getting pg again, that I haven't even shared it with anyone. I was a size 0-2 before getting pg and I fit back into some of my 2's again but am mostly in 4's. Not that I mind, but it still doesn't feel quite like my body, so I want to lose the last 12 lbs before even thinking about it. Not that I'm ready for another, but even when I am, I just want my body to myself for a while!

Yes yes I know what you mean!!!

I have sooooo many cute dresses/skirts/outfits etc. that I'm dying to wear again. Just because you have a kid doesn't mean you have to let your appearance go to sh*t

I REFUSE to let that happen to me. Plus I don't wanna have to buy a whole new wardrobe in bigger sizes. Times are rough these days and I would rather save money.

So glad someone else understands!

I love my body, I think the biggest thing is I just love my clothes like you said

I don't want to have to get new ones, or spend the money! Here's to losing the last 10 pounds
