WTT for #1 - trying in Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec 2012

[counting]

So, don't change my dates on here yet...(I'm being superstitious about this, and I can't bear to be disappointed) but we are going to be trying in SEPTEMBER! Just 2 months, 5 days away !!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, we are actually going to be really relaxed about it, and hope for the best- and if it hasn't happened for us by December(possible as I will be right off BCP in Sept.), we will start TTC seriously and I'll start watching my cycle very closely and maybe charting. So...if everything goes well I'm going to have a 2013 baby for sure! I can't wait for this fall. Hoping for a BFP for my 24th birthday!

Hi JessinChi,

In the UK you have to be in continuous employment for 26 weeks to qualify for mat leave. I work in marketing but don't want to make a bad impression by announcing I'm pregnant a few months into my new job :S
If I hadn't been starting a new job, we would probably start TTC sooner. It's a tough decision when you really want a baby.
How old are you and OH?

I am 25, he is 35- that is one of the reasons we really want to get going ASAP! His biological clock is definitely ticking- he constantly talks about babies

I agree on the waiting a few months to TTC and announce your pregnant. If we are lucky and get pregnant in September/October it doesn't matter, since I wouldn't be taking time off for maternity live- or at least very little time off (since I have 3 summer months off), but if it weren't for that, I would definitely wait several months before TTC to make sure I was on good terms with my boss, colleagues etc before making the announcement. I am lucky because the place I work has a daycare for 1+ year olds, and preschool, so I get very discounted childcare when our kids our over 1- makes me not want to get off on bad terms with them, because it could be VERY nice in the future!

Good luck, it is so frustrating to want to have a baby and start a new job!!!!

Thanks for the advice We had a talk last night and set a date of around 16th October- DH's 29th birthday That way if i get pregnant straight away, i will have worked 6 months (probation period) at my 12 week mark.
I really hope you are able to conceive when you want to, it is such a complicated time deciding when to TTC.

Good luck to you too, and who knows we may be TTC buddies...

That sounds like a good compromise plan! Yes, we could end up being TTC buddies I think pregnancy is pretty easy to hide until around 16 weeks for most people, but everyone starts showing at different times. My friend is 15 weeks and just told her boss (she's been there around 6 months) who was very happy and supportive- let's hope ours will be too

Oooo waiting buddy (TEACUP!!)!! I haven't talked to you in AGES! How is everything in your life going? Seems like our wait has sped up for me- mostly because I've been moving, starting up my DIY projects, and summer school is in full swing. I have been so busy that my wait has zoomed by! I honestly have no idea where June went?? I love it when I get to the end of the month quickly, because that is when my ticker turns over to a new month! We're almost down to the 4 month mark!!

I have noticed lately that, although still saddened by BFPs because of the reminder of what I still do not have, it is much easier! I really think it is because all of those announcing now will be due after we start ttc so I could really and truly be pregnant before they give birth. Have you noticed the same thing or am I completely nutters? Because that is serious possibility.. all this waiting may have turned my brain to mush!

Hope you're having a good week!

 

[Princess811]

Hi all! I just joined! I'm getting married on August 11. I stopped bcp in May to prep for us to ttc right after our wedding but we have decided to start in my next cycle! I'm excited that there's a blog for this!

Hi Brenn09! Yeah I'm good thanks! Loads seems to be going wrong at the moment though, I have the biggest job in the world to do, as well as plan a wedding. I just found out my wedding dress isn't the same as the one I ordered (only slightly different but it makes a big difference to me!) so I have an appointment this afternoon to sort it. (Might have to have the demo one the hundreds of sweaty brides-to-be have tried on) Also finally got paid yesterday only to find they put the wrong name on the cheque, so have had to send it back and we are soooo broke and need that money! My AF was a week late last cycle so I was convinced I was pregnant, even did a test (was quite sad to see BFN!) I think it's stress that has been messing up my cycle.

But hopefully next week will be better! I know what you mean about being less effected by pregnancy announcements, I'm not so bothered now. I'm actually a bit nervous about the whole TTC thing now it's getting closer! Any one else feel this?

Hows your week been? Got any fun plans for the weekend?

 

[Jary]

Sorry to hear about your stressful week, teacup! Hope your dress gets sorted and your cheque comes through! It's awful being broke and it's always when you need money the most!
It probably is stress messing up your cycles. My AF has been late a couple of times too which is frustrating because they finally regulated after I had the implant removed and doesn't help when your trying to pin point ovulation.

I'm sure everything will fall into place and you can breathe a big sigh of relief!

I completely understand about the dress- when mine came in, the single strap wasn't there. No one could say why and I adored the strap! We were going to take it off the demo dress, but they managed to send one in the mail and my mom sewed it on. You want your dress to be perfect!! I hope, fingers and toes crossed, that you got it all sorted!

OMG with the paycheck! WTH?? I don't know anyone who doesn't need their paycheck on time! That is ridiculous, they need to overnight that stuff right back!!

I agree it's the stress messing with your cycle, but I HATE getting those BFNs, too! You deserve a great, relaxing weekend so I hope you get one!

This weekend will be busy, we have a garage sale with the in-laws/neighbors tomorrow and everyone in my family will be down to celebrate my mom's birthday as well. I have soo much homework to do, too so I'm not sure when I'll get that all done (could be doing it now, lol!) but it'll be a fun weekend.

Hope your weekend is great!

 

[teacup]

Thank you Brenn09 and Jary! Dress is hopefully sorted now, they are going to do some alterations to make it look more like the one I fell in love with. Still no money though, I'm hoping it will come early next week! Hope you both have a lovely weekend, goodluck with the garage sale Brenn09, hope you sell lots! xxx

 

[brittani]

I got my OPK's in the mail today, i am going to start using them in July to kind of get the hang of it before we TTC in August. One month ahh I can't believe it, I never thought it would come. As it gets closer I am feeling more nervous and very anxious as to what pregnancy is going to be like. I hope everyone else is doing well.

 

[DanielleRae]

Hey ladies, its so neat to see so many other women discuss this important and special time in there life. My fiance and i have been together just over 6 years and engaged 6 months.. our original TTC date was going to be October but we are super eager and have changed our official TTC date to August. I recently saw my doctor and started taking prenatal vitamins along with changing my diet. Im SUPER excited iv always wanted children and known for along time that Lou was the one, nervous of course.. as i want everything to go perfectly. As far as our wedding we have not set a date although we have talked about maybe marrying when our little one is old enough to be apart of our wedding. We already feel like family and cant wait for our 1st addition!

 

[Jary]

Welcome DanielleRae! Me and my partner are aiming for August too! (late August as that's when I'll ovulate) are you feeling nervous too? We are excited but at the same time getting nervous as its so close now!

 

[Summer_millie]

Hello ladies, how are you all doing?

Thought I'd check in and say hello as I haven't been on here for a little while, we were planning on ttc in August or September but decided to give it a go this month instead so I'm currently in my two week wait! Very very exciting and seem to have lots of symptoms, just can't believe that I might be this lucky to get pregnant the first time we try!!! I'm due to start testing in a couple of days so will keep you posted if we get a !!!

Your wait will fly by and you'll all be ttc so soon now! I can't believe how rough I've felt the past two days, been staying in with a hot water bottle on my back because of the back ache and had constant stomach cramping! Fingers crossed for all of us!!

 

[GMG333]

Hello! I'm wondering if I can join in on this thread... We have decided to wait until October 2012 to TTC. We are both running our first half marathon in October and decided to wait till then. Last month I came off BCP and I'm hoping my body will be 'normal' in 2+ months. I guess I'll find out!

Hey mind if I join this group?
Reading your posts makes me think you girls can help me be patient about waiting to try! I get married in September so will definitely want to TTC straight away after wedding. Just come of my pill and I am on cycle day 10 waiting to see when AF will return. Bought a thermometer today and I am going to try and chart.

Soooooo broody, and none of my friends seem to be so it's nice to come on here to chat!

 

[MrsMcP]

Please can I join too? Going to start trying in mid Sept

Can't believe it's almost time!!! Will have been married 3 years in Oct. I'm 28 and hubby is 34. My last post in this forum was Sept last year and I was gutted as we'd just put our TTC off for a year due to moving house etc. But I have to say I can't believe how quickly that year has gone.

Started taking pre-natal vits this week and I get stupidly excited every time I take one! These last couple of months are gonna go slow and I'm going to really suck at not getting my hopes up!
