****Broody and Babbling till 2014****

Huzzah for being done with the semester. What are you studying in grad school? I am a new research scientist where I am, and for the first time had a grad student come by earlier in the week and ask if I had any projects he could work on! Very exciting. Made me feel like a real grown-up scientist :p
 
Wow, that sounds like a really cool moment for you!
I'm pursuing my Master's in Social Work. I'm currently employed at a state psychiatric hospital and I'm pretty sure I want to transition into the social work department there when I'm done with school. :)
 
I think I will be leaving this topic for a short while as my OH as recent money worries that he thought he would settle but big things have come up so ttc for May 2014 is up in the air at the moment. I don't think we will be starting to ttc in May at all now. :cry:

So we are undecided when we will start ttc yet again. I wasn't happy about this choice but it seems OH is getting to the end of his last tether. He seems miserable about everything and he says that he feels a bit rushed with me wanting to do everything all at once. And that the current state now with money and debt issues as not turned out as we wanted it to so its set us back again. He told me he were happy about it but today he as said maybe we should put the ttc dates back other 12 months to see if he can get his finances in order first, maybe he were scared to tell me he were unhappy about it because he knows how much I want to have a baby and he saw me excited. I don't know I kind of knew because he is In debt and I could tell by his face. He says that a baby needs a lot of time and commitment and attention. We also need a lot of savings which we not going to get this winter again... so he say we need to be able to provide for a baby. And with me being stressed and him being stressed it may come between us with arguing and worries and this not fair on a child. Which I can see where he is coming from. He also said he were just seeking happiness in a relationship and he feels he's not getting it.. maybe im to pushy I hate to think I am because im a kind and caring girl.. I just wanted to be a good mum and have a chance to ttc is this wrong? But I can help my instinct of being broody... and it doesn't help when things aren't the same with fertility and ttc with my PCOS I suppose I get more broody and upset.. I were devastated when diagnosed all I ever wanted in my future life was children more than anything.. (Children marriage and my own home) Are these things not just normal things for me to want...?? OH doesn't seem to understand much when I get down and I see others around me having things I want.. and its not like there impossible things to want they just the normal things in life. He gets upset and tends to argue with me if I am getting on to him about what others have and how im down because I want them. He say's I shouldn't be looking at what others are doing I should be looking at my own life, our life and where we are at in our relationship, not others relationship, after all we will do things in our relationship when we are both ready, and our relationship happiness should be my focus. He say's he wants a baby with me its just he want's it be right, where he can be involved and help as much as he can, provide for the baby and have plenty of money/savings to, and have a home of our own set up and running, so its clean and tidy, and also me learning to drive and getting on the road would be helpful he says. He also said once we set up we can go full steam ahead with ttc then, and there be no stopping us.... But im still upset by this outcome.. is this normal? :cry:


I always look and get broody and wonder when its going to be my turn to ttc and be a mum... but obviously ttc wont be 2014 either another year in a row and to wait.. :cry::cry::cry::cry:

I want to thank you all for your kind words and support for the short stay I have had in this topic its been most helpful :flower: :cry:

Sorry to baffle on ladies I just thought I would update you and tell you the reasons why.
 
Hi I'm Lauryn, hope you don't mind me joining in! Not officially WTT, just hopefully waiting for my OH to come around to the idea of ttc no3 x
 
Sorry SarahLou, it's true that a stressful environment is not a great place to bring a baby into though. :hugs: It will be your turn soon!

Welcome Lolly!
 
Ugh, I'm sorry SarahLou. I hope things improve and that it's your turn soon!

Hi, Lolly!
 
Thank you for all the lovely replies ladies :flower:

OH confirmed it this morning before he went to work. He says I think were best waiting for another 12 months before even thinking about having a baby. And he wants to get his finances sorted out and try to get our own home set up first. He says he just want to spend the next 12 months doing things as a couple first to. Doing things we did last summer again this summer and enjoy this Christmas together... I respect his decision and im not going to push him. Im not like that im a lovely lady, I guess I just need to be patient and wait a bit longer and hopefully good patience will pay off... :shrug:

And I agree with you Melly I understand that stressful situations like these are no good for babies, and I wouldn't bring one into this situation, I was hoping things would change so we could ttc in May 2014, and OH was sure things would get better debt wise but things have taken a turn for the worst and not gone to plan. I just don't feel like celebrating Christmas now... or even being positive and smiling like he wants me to, im not feeling happy, it couldn't of happened on a worse day, Friday 13th!!! He decided this (And im not usually superstitious) Talk about rotten Luck! :cry:
 
So sorry SarahLou, I know it's so hard to want a baby so bad but not be able to TTC. :hugs:
 
Spent the morning with my friend and her 18-month-old boy - he's so cute! He leant towards me out of his mum's arms for a cuddle twice in the morning (wanted to go back after a couple of minutes each time, but fun cuddles for me in the meantime!!). CLUCKY CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK.
 
I'm so sorry to hear that SarahLou. I hope you don't have to wait to long to start ttc. I hope you can enjoy your time with your oh. A very big hug to you!
 
Thanks Jaxvipe And Eline :flower::flower:

Im extremely broody right now and keen to go for it... but OH is still sticking to his answer :cry:
 
Omg, 'only' a week and 2 days to go and the time is DRAGGING!! We fly out on Friday, though and then it'll be 3 days to go and I'll be enjoying myself because I'll be on holiday. I just have to make through til Thursday!! I'll be sad to leave this thread. This is the best 2014 thread. :) I'm glad we decided to make it. I was hanging around in the Dec 13 and Jan 14 threads but there's ladies with the 'surprise' BFPs and those who moved to TTC early giving their updates every 5 minutes which is so annoying. In here is a nice little safe place. I don't want to move to the TTC area!! Although I'm excited to make my TTC journal. I'm contemplating doing it now...?
 
Do it!! :thumbup: in fact, why wait until Thursday!? What's a few days anyway :haha:

Oh & I had an oopsy tonight :blush: right around ovulation too! It's my first cycle off the pill though so very much doubt I am actually ovulating or that anything happens.
 
hi lolly! Hi everyone! 2014 is just over a week away! If things go as planned I may be pregnant this time next year! Can't wait!

Happy holidays to those who celebrate!
 
Hey all! I am ready to try, but have to WTT until mid 2014. Having Mirena removed early March, hopefully, and then have to wait for my cycle to return to 'normal' before TTC.:cry:

This morning my aunt sent out a mass email announcing that her daughter (younger than I am :growlmad: ) is expecting #2 in March. Needless to say I spent the next hour in tears. I know I haven't been waiting as long as some, and I don't have as long of a wait, but stuff like that still gets me. Does this get easier?
 
Hi everyone :wave:! I haven't really been on here much lately.... Just been so BUSY!

SarahLou, Sorry to hear your plans got changed :(. Another year will be over faster than you know it though!
