Hello
I am 28 (and so is my OH), been married for 3 years and together for 5 years.
I am over the moon at TTC in August this year, particularly as it was originally March 2011 (see my journal for more).
However, we can only TTC during the last week of August until the end of October and then we'll have to stop again and WTT until March 2011. This is because we have a holiday to Lanzarote in Feb/March to celebrate my 30th and obviously I can't be too early or too late in a pregnancy when travelling. It will be very hard to wait again after trying, but hopefully the time should fly by with Christmas in the middle. Of course, ideally we'd love to be lucky enough to get pregnant during that short time period.
My OH is really on board and keeps complaining that he's just thinking of babies all day! I'm chuffed about this, although it doesn't help my broodiness at all. If not for OH's debt we would have started trying at the end of last year (when OH suddenly became 'ready' and started talking babies all the time!) and we wouldn't have set the wheels in motion for Lanzarote.
It's very difficult waiting, but I will be taking my last birth control pill next week and will then start charting/temping etc and I'm very hopeful that it will keep my mind focused on something else other than babies (doubtful though, I'm sure). I'm very excited about charting, as I can't remember at all what length my cycles were prior to going on the pill, though I do remember I was very regular and rarely early or late, which is good.
The only thing I'm worrying about with TTC is that I have ulcerative colitis/Crohn's disease (docs won't commit either way) and have just come off 2 months of steroids to treat a flare-up. It's advised not to get pregnant during a flare-up and so I'm hopeful that these steroids have 'fixed' me for the time being and that I will remain in remission for some time.
It's nice to meet you all and good luck with the waiting! x
