WTT for #1 thread

[Amazeballs]

Hi everyone,

I'm 24 years old, my hubby is 28. We are both from South Africa but are currently living as expats in Malawi. We got married at the beginning of March 2012 and I'm soooo so ready to start making babies I've been ready for a very long time and I think about having my own baby almost every minute of the day (and night). My hubby on the other hand wants to wait a while before we even start talking about it. It makes me a bit sad but that is why we are waiting...

We are financially stable to start having children and I can be a stay-at-home mom for as long as I want, we have a beautiful 4 bedroom house with a huge garden for children to play in but my husband doesn't feel ready yet.

I would ideally like to start trying in July! I'm so so excited to have a baby!I just cannot wait to be a mum!

Hi everybody,

I've just come over from TTC - me and my boyfriend have been NTNP for the last few months, however as we haven't yet conceived and we are planning on flying out see my parents in New Zealand for Christmas we have decided to stop (as it wouldn't be safe to fly at that time if I got pregnant now) so we're going to wait until later on in the year/or maybe even early next year to start trying for a baby. I hate waiting but at least there is a good reason why.

So that's me.

Hello all! I have introduced myself in a few places, but not this one yet! My husband and I are getting soooo close to TTC, yet it seems so far away! Why does the wait have to feel so long? We are so excited to start our family, but have a couple of things to get out of the way first, including moving back to our home state and traveling to Europe. I look forward to sharing the journey with you all! :wave:

Hi! I'm Jenni, I'm 25 and my fiance is 27. We are getting married on March 23, 2013. We are waiting until probably July or August 2013 to start TTC. I'm in two weddings in June next year so I'd like to be able to celebrate We can't wait to have kids!

 

[MonkeyMummy2b]

Hello!

I'm 28 and my husband to be is 33. We're getting married Nov '12. Mainly since my niece was born and our friends baby, we've both become rather broody but would rather wait until after the wedding until we start trying. My h2b also wants to get a snowboarding holiday in first (!) so will be waiting spring / summer next year.

I had an infection a while ago that is known to affect fertility but we won't know until we start trying so I'm really going to try and keep a positive attitude to it and talk about conceiving as 'when' not 'if' (as I have done in the past)!

We're also in the process of buying our 'family' home and I'm planning on quitting my job and going freelance full-time this year in preparation for becoming a mummy.

Very exciting times ahead!

 

[Mrs.Ladybird]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Kirsty-Anne, and I'm 22. My lovely Husband is 23 and we have been married since August 2011. WTT until March 2013 as we have booked a second honeymoon to mexico then and I don't want to travel pregnant., (never done long haul flight before so not sure how I will be.)

We have a lovely 3 bed house and Hubby earns enough to allow me to become a full time mummy if I wish too. It's just a waiting game now! At least I have the holiday to focus on!! x

 

[Banana2012]

Hello! I'm 27, and WTT for #1 at the end of June 2012. I got married in October last year, and am now just waiting for medication that I take for Rheumatoid Arthritis to be out of my system before I can start TTC - so excited! I really can't wait to be pregnant, fingers crossed it happens sooner rather than later!

 

[luffbug88]

Hello! I'm 23 and Hubs is 24. We are waiting on just a couple things before TTC in the spring of 14' It is so hard to wait though, when you've wanted to be a Momma all of your life! We'll be married for 3 years in Jan and have the wisdom to wait to try until Hubs gradutes since we've made the decision together for me to be a SAHM. So happy to be on here with others like me!

 

[MrsMcIntosh]

Hello all, I'm very new here.. this is my first post! My name is Chelsea, I'm a 20 year old college student, won't graduate until May 2014. I have PCOS, found out after nonexistent periods for nearly a year in Oct. 2011. DH and I have been NTNP (does that "mean not trying, not preventing"? that's what I mean) since then, but it's impossible to get pregnant when your cycle is so irregular/nonexistent. It's funny, we were SO careful before finding out about the PCOS, and now know just how difficult it is to get pregnant... I have learned SO much about TTC, pregnancy, and birth from this experience, which I guess is a good thing. We plan on officially TTC (ie. some type of medical intervention) sometime after I'm finished with school, but will continue to hope it happens miraculously before then!

 

[Kelskiii]

Hi I'm Kelskiii !!!

I've been snooping around the forum for a few days so thought I'd introduce myself!!

I've been with D for almost 6years, we bought our first house 3years ago in the North East of England! We are getting married this December so excited & lots to do !! After the wedding we are off to LA and Las Vegas to spend Christmas (very excited)

Although my head should be wedding wedding wedding it's more wedding baby baby!! Which shocked me as I've waited forever to get married. D is of the opinion that if I want children he does if I don't want children then that's find my him!! So it's m choice when to start trying!!

I'm closer to 30 now so would lie to start ASAP slightly torn between stopping BC before or after the wedding!! So that's the decision I need to make!! My body is telling me now but I have a beautiful wedding dress tha needs to fit me soon!!

Whilst making that decision I will enjoy chatting and reading about how everyone is getting on and hopefully making some new friends xx

 

[shudknow]

Hi,

I'm 25 (turning 26 in September) and DH will be turning 30 in June. We have known each other since almost 5 years now but have been married for just a year. We have decided to WTT until 2014 since we have lot of travel plans lined up. Honestly, that's the only reason. By God's grace, we have a nice 4 bed house and we do not have any great financial responsibilities other than clearing loans on home and car. But, since both of us work, it can be very comfortable for us. 2014 seems far but I dont know if things will change until then

 

[SqugglesGal]

Hi I'm SqugglesGal,

I'm 27 my OH is 43, he has a daughter from a previous relationship! We are currently on a break from TTC our first together as I gained to much weight, got stressed out and started to not be able to cope with it all! I have PCOS, we have previously been referred to the infertility clinic and was prescribed clomid but it didn't work, we don't qualify for IVF on the nhs because of OH daughter!

I'm currently doing weight watchers, have lost 1stone 10lbs so far and we are planning to TTC again in the middle of November!

Will have everything crossed that losing weight helps this time around as I don't know what happens after that!

I enjoy reading, cross stitch and cycling and am planning to start swimming again! My OH and I work together and have been together for nearly 4 years now, we have been TTC for 3 years!

 

[BunInTheBelly]

Hiya, I'm also WTT for #1. I have been for a while and so I can't recall if I've posted before in this thread or a different one.

slightly torn between stopping BC before or after the wedding!!

I just wanted to mention that BPC (if that's what you use) can help with acne so you may have skin issues if you stop taking it. You might want to wait so that you have the best skin possible for your wedding. (Congrats BTW!)

 

[wtt4mybabymac]

Hi Ladies
My name is Kati, I am 28 and from South Africa (however was living in the UK for 5 years before moving home in Dec) My hubby and I (together for 9 years but married for 3) are wanting to TTC from July... I want a girlie, he wants a boy (to take surfing and skateboarding very cute ha ha) we have been WTT as we have moved back home, and he has started his own practice (so financial reasons) I am also studying again (CIMA) VERY nervous of how to handle this along with being preg and then having a baba but it has been done before!?!
good to be here with people who are experiencing the same as me!!!

 

[counting]

I feel like I've been posting intro posts all over the place here. Well, here goes another:

My name is Aj, I live on the east coast of Canada- land. Myself and my hubby are getting ready to try for our first child! We are 23 and 22, have been together for over three years, and have been hitched for one year- our first anniversary was May 2nd! We are super geeky, loving and devoted people, and we can't wait to bring our first (and probably only) child into the world and to teach them all about life. I know we are both hoping for a daughter when the time comes, which means nature will probably give us a sweet little baby boy .

I think waiting to try for #1 is tougher than waiting for #2 or more, because there is so much unknown and excitement- and we have no babies to give all the love to while we wait! In the meantime we are lavishing our attentions on our family of fur kids.Can't wait to share our compassion and love of animals with our future child as well! That and knowing this will likely be our only baby makes all that anticipation so much more...anticipated, LOL!

Waiting is tough. Definitely here if anyone would like to chat while we anxiously await #1.

 

[wellsk]

Hello, I'm wellsk

I'm from Coventry, UK. And I'm a 21 year old Psychology student. My DH is a Manager of a popular convenience store, and we have been married for 2 years

We have been waiting to try for the past 2 years really, although we haven't exactly been 'good' with our plan. I was on BCP up until Dec '11, after that we have been BDing without protection, which if I had gotten pregnant by then would've meant my due date being around late 2012/early 2013. Which wouldn't have been to detrimental to my studies. However I feel now that we need to stop as in 9 months time, I will be completing my dissertation and final exams. We're also hoping by then that my husband will have also been promoted in a few months time and we will be financially a bit better off to welcome a little one into the world.

Although it is not long, and hopefully we will be able to TTC again come September/October time. I'm still truly hating waiting, for a 21 year old. I did not think that I would struggle to get pregnant at all.

I've really also struggled with the emotional side to TTC, I really get torn up every month when AF arrives. Deciding there and then that we're not gonna try that month. But then O comes around, and I'm like 'must.have.babies!!!'
I also get terribly jealous of pregnant women, it's been so hard! One of my very close friends is 10 days away from her due date, and I love her and cannot wait to meet her little one. But at the same time I'm so sad!

Sorry, I'm rambling!
I'm basically here looking for support from others and to support others, and get techniques of how to avoid baby fever.

Thanks

[SpazzAxolotl]

Hey guys!

I'm Spazz. 19 (okay, very nearly 19), engaged (young but ready), PCOS. I'm getting married Sept. 2013, and plan to start TTC in July of 2014--as soon as I turn 21--assuming the finances go as we expect them to with school and whatnot. I hail from the USA,

I've just put in my resume to several photographers, and am hoping to become an assistant. First step toward the ultimate, open-my-own-studio dream!

I've had one miscarriage, at the age of 17. Completely accidental (I was with a very bad guy, who now admits he did the old poke-holes-in-the-condom trick despite our ages). My fiance had a son, also at the age of 17 (a legitimately accidental broken condom), who died of SIDS at 3 months old. Those experiences forced both of us to grow up pretty quickly.

We both wish we could start TTC sooner, but between the finances and the living situation, it just isn't feasible. We live with my parents right now. We could afford our own place, but would rather have a little wiggle-room, and they're not charging us rent (though we help with utilities). He goes to school; I may start next year, depending on my career goals (I haven't yet fully decided whether I want to be a photographer or an English teacher).

I'm (obviously) a photography nerd. A performance poet. A fur-mommy (my fiance calls himself "Daddy" to our dog, it's so cute xD).

One of my biggest fears is that PCOS will make it very hard or impossible to have kids. The very biggest fear is, of course, more child loss. Don't know if either of us could take it again, when kids are what we want more than anything.
