Hi, I'm brand new to this forum, and this is as good a place as any to start! Here goes:

Name: Ruth
Age: 28
Relationship status: Married for 5 years, with my husband for almost 10

How long until TTC: 6 months

Reasons for WTT: We want to get our finances in order... we also thought it would be nice to go away on a break and start TTC on our 10th anniversary of the date we met (February 2012 - usefully, it looks fairly well in line with the time I should be ovulating!)

Anything you want to accomplish while in WTT, before TTC: Getting our finances well under control and enjoying (what will hopefully be) our last Christmas and New Year together as DINKs!

How many children would you like: Two if we get one of each, maybe three if we get two boys or two girls to begin with. Knowing my luck, I'll end up with three sons!

when (I finally get) pg...

Do you have a gender preference? - I used to really want a boy first, and then a girl, but now that we're getting serious about baby making, I find I don't care half as much! I keep seeing myself with a daughter, for some reason, perhaps because I'm one of two girls...

Finding out the gender or team yellow? - Find out the gender... there's no way I'll be able to wait!

Any names you like? - Tom for a boy, Anna for a girl... but no real idea yet!

So heres a bit about me:

when pg...

Finding out the gender or team yellow? Mmmm Undecided at this point
Any names you like? For a girl : Rebekah or Grace and for a boy: Adam John

Any names you like? Louis, Holly

 

[sequeena]

Name: Sarah
Age: 22
Relationship status: Engaged

How long until TTC: Just under 2 years
Reasons for WTT: I've not long given birth and we don't want a very close age gap
Anything you want to accomplish while in WTT, before TTC: Move house, lose weight, be a good mummy to Thomas and maybe do another college course or OU degree
How many children would you like: I think 2 would probably be enough

when pg...

Do you have a gender preference? No. Health is my biggest concern. During my first pregnancy my waters broke at 14 weeks, rehealed at 24 but I continued to have low fluid throughout (Oligohydramnios)
Finding out the gender or team yellow? I found out with Thomas, I think a surprise would be nice next time
Any names you like? Haven't even thought about it.

It took us 2 years to conceive our son so perhaps we should start trying now but sod's law I'd fall pregnant straight away and we really don't want a very close age gap. We only ever imagined ourselves with one child but I absolutely loved being pregnant and we love being parents! Next time will be scary but I can relax more because I'll have extra care from the very beginning.

 

[gaiagirl]

[BeeLT]

Name: Bee

Age: 25

Relationship status: married to the man of my dreams

How long until TTC: unknown; months to years

Reasons for WTT: Health reasons. I have leaky gut syndrome which causes multiple severe food allergies, malnutrition, headaches, nausea, fatigue, and other health problems. I'm under the care of a physician who knows what she's doing (after seeing many who were horrible) and on the road to recovery. I'm discussing TTC with her at the end of Oct. It will all depend on how I'm doing by then.

Anything you want to accomplish while in WTT, before TTC: I'm getting healthy. Doing occasional yoga for all the great benefits (would like to be doing it regularly!). I'm learning all about healthy pregnancy, natural birth, attachment parenting, breastfeeding, developmental stages, and how to (hopefully!) prevent food allergies.

How many children would you like: This is a tough one. We want to be able to support all the children we have; monetarily, with love, with space, with time. We would like at least 2. Are considering 3. Might want 4. We do have concerns about the population of the planet, but also believe that if we can raise sympathetic, caring, environmental stewards that can help change the world for the better, then it's worth it.

when pg...
Do you have a gender preference? I just want babies that grow into healthy toddlers and then eventually onto healthy adults. My husband would like a girl first and then a boy. I'm game for that

Finding out the gender or team yellow? No way! Ultrasounds are not proven to be 100% safe. We have no need to know the sex of our babies before they're born and will not use ultrasounds unless there is a complication that requires it for helping the baby. Team Yellow all the way (and green, blue, red, orange lots of colors work for girls, most colors work for boys (I'd stay away from pink until he's old enough to decide if he likes the color or not!)

Any names you like? We have a few picked out, and a few we like but definitely won't use because we have friends who have kids by those names. We did decide that when we get two barn cats, we're naming them Nuts and Bolts. Ha! Humor runs rampant in this house.

Hello, need some advice, me and my partner want a baby together, i already have a 3 year old little girl called cailynn. not with my partner andy though. i had an implant in for 3 years it ran out end of july, havent had it removed yet though. i had a period on the 13th of august. so should be ovulating soon. problem is im not sure if its the right time?! i want another but i dont at the same time?! ive told my partner this but he gets really annoyed. my mum keeps goin on at me to get another implant in but havent done it yet. i dont think my partner is really ready 2 have a baby yet, even though he thinks he is! our realationship isnt that great atm either. and i dont think he will stay with me if i have another baby. dont know what to do. ive only just got a job in the last 4years and im really enjoying having my social life back. i think i should go on another form of contraception...not the implant dont really want to wait 3 years again. plus i really want my daughter to have a brother osister close to her age group.

Finding out the gender or team yellow? couldnt wait that long..lol
Any names you like? seanna-may, troy..

As hard as it is to wait when you have baby fever, I think you should wait. If nothing else, to give your relationship time to grow with your current partner. If you really think that you wouldn't stay together if you had a baby right now, then now is definitely not the time to try.

My husband & I are WTT due to my health issues and have baby fever. We know it is best for my health and the health of our future baby to wait. So as emotionally difficult as that is at times, we're waiting.

I wish you the best of luck!
