Hi ladies, mind if I join?

A bit about me... I've been with DH for 8 years, married for 1 year. We met in highschool, graduated and moved into an apartment together, and then got married 4 years after that. We were putting off TTC until after we got married and bought our first (little!) home together, so we could get all settled in before starting our family. I work as a Professional Body Piercer, and DH is an Electrician.

I went off BCP's around 10/09 after being on them for 7 years. Surprisingly, my cycle regulated itself immeadiately, and I got my first AF right when I was supposed to! I knew that TTC time was coming up, and I wanted to give my body plenty of time to regulate itself after coming off of being on BCP's for so long, but turns out I didn't need it !

After I went off BCP's, I got asked to be the MOH in my friends wedding, which is going to be at the beginning of this October. I accepted, which threw off the TTC plans a bit! I didn't want to be hugely pregnant for her wedding, but it is getting harder and HARDER to keep waiting, knowing that it is the only thing holding us back at this point !

The only other setback was getting decent health insurance... my job doesn't offer it as there are only 5 employees in the company, and getting on DH's plan through his job was a financial NIGHTMARE (thankfully the boss pays the insurance for all 3 of his employees). Just this morning, however, I was accepted into a great healthcare plan with decent materity coverage for an ok price... not cheap, unfortunately, but managable. So, the wedding is the only thing standing in our way at this point! I love her to death but grr !!

Since her wedding is in early October, we plan on starting to try when I ovulate at the end of July, provided my cycle stays consistant! I have been taking folic acid (600 mcg) since the end of March, so I'll have a good 4 months of that under my belt when we start trying.

I have been getting all sorts of things together for when TTC time rolls around... Preseed, Softcups, OPK sticks, all kinds of HPT's. We are both hoping to have a spring baby in 2011, so I am trying to be as prepared as possible when we start TTC.

Well, I really got on a roll there... sorry so long! I just cannot WAIT to get started and get that !! Come on July !!!

another gorgeous day here off to the park i think

 

[Damita]

Tell me about it I just want to get started now Good luck to you all not long now

 

[Amygdala]

Not quite as nice here but I hear the weekend will be gorgeous. I find waiting extra hard as well but then I have a stressful day at work (like today) and I wonder if I'm crazy to consider dealing with that AND pregnancy at the same time. Watch this space...

 

[ooSweetPea]

I feel like time is literally dragging. Originally we were going to wait until the end of Sept, then it changed to end of August, and now it's changed to end of July! Everytime it gets moved closer though, it feels in my head like it gets further away... gr. Can't move it any closer now though because insurance officially kicks in maternity wise June 15th, AND for my friends wedding I don't want to be too preg! ARGH!!

 

[beckyfletcher]

sweetpea will soon be here

Lovely weather again here off trampoling with my eldest James then i think were going to the park for a picnic

Last month I couldn't stand waiting any more and my hubby took me out on a nice date, so we decided to risk it and go unprotected for one night... then in the meantime my work got really stressful and I started thinking, "why on earth did i do that!". Anyways, I was very relieved to get my period. Now I think I will find it easier to wait! July it is.

 

[Dinah]

Can't wait either over here lol!! But I keep telling myself time is really flying so before I know it, June will be here and then I'll feel all unprepared lol!!!
