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

[teacup]

Hellooo Everyone! I'm waiting to try for my first in September 2012 after my wedding. Is anyone else trying for their first around this time and would like to be my buddy? Trying for a baby for the first time is such a big scary thing! I hope I feel ready when the time comes. I'm very broody but also a little scared. What is everyone elses thoughts about starting a family? Any positives/negatives you want to discuss?

About me: I'm 25 and my OH is 35 and we've been in a relationship for over 3 years.

Hello teacup

I'll be waiting a bit longer than you - I get married in Nov 2012 so at least Dec before I try, possibly Jan 2013, but basically around that time it will all start to get super real... so I'm with you, pretty much!

You must be excited. When March arrives you'll be within six months of your TTC!!

Sx

 

[teacup]

Awww thanks for the reply! I was starting to think I was the only one! Yeah I'm really excited! Lots to look forward to this year. Congratulations on your engagement! What sort of wedding are you planning? Will you be hoping to try for a honeymoon baby?

 

[HazzaB]

Hello girlies, I am the same as you teacup, we will be trying for our first in september after getting married. We haven't actually set a date yet but hoping for a sept wedding! Not long now...

Ooooh cool! You should hurry up and set a date - it's scary how quick venues get booked up. We only had two dates to choose from, April 30th or Sept 5th. April was waaaay to soon so we went with Sept. Yeah I always said that Sept is a lovely time of year to get married because of the golden light and the colours.

Yay now there's three of us so far that can support each other on this amazing new adventure! So scary but exciting, I can't wait to start. Would you like a little boy or a girl first? Also would you decide to find out the sex at the scan or wait until birth to find out?

 

[Jary]

Hello sept 2012 wtt ladies im also aiming for this month

As for the sex I'm not really bothered but my partner seems to think it'll be a girl. And I wouldn't find out what we were having. It'd be a nice surprise

 

[teacup]

Hellooo Jary! My OH always says we'll have a little girl first, we'll see if they're right! I would like a little girl first just because everyone in my family have had little boys so it would be nice to be the first to have a baby girl - otherwise I don't mind!

 

[drmommyDO]

Hello teacup! I am a newly wed (married May 22) and my husband and I will be trying for our 1st around this time. We want to have the baby in May. I will be starting medical school in July and we want to have the baby during the summer break. Getting pregnant in August would be ideal. We were wondering how far in advance we should start trying? I'm 22 and he is 26.

 

[HazzaB]

Hello everyone!
Well you see the problem is teacup, we aren't actually engaged yet!! But I know he will be proposing by mid feb. (rubbish at keeping secrets)! So it will be a big rush from there!
Drmommydo-there is no way of knowing ehen you should try. You could be lucky and get pregnant in the first month, or it may take a while. Are you tracking your cycles?x

 

[tuesday_]

I'll also be TTC #1 in Fall of this year.

I'm 19 and OH is 21... but we'll be 20 and 22 when we TTC and possibly 21 and 23 when we have our babe. We've been together for a little over 2 ½ years.

As for the sex... I'd love a girl but would be completely happy with a boy too. I am 95% sure we won't find out the sex either... the 5% of unsureness comes from me not being sure if OH is completely onboard with it.

Helloo drmommy! If I were you I would start trying in July, either that or have a few months taking temps and getting to know your cycles so that when you start trying in August you would have a better idea of when your fertile time would be.

Awww yeah I knew my OH was going to propose before he did. He told me when he was drunk that he planned to do it when we were next on holiday (he doesn't even remember telling me that!)

Hello tuesday! Welcome! :wave: Yeah I think it would be better to not find out the sex. Though because my OH has convinced me we'd have a girl first I would be very surprised if it was a boy because I have always imagined us having a girl first. Part of me would want to know the sex so I would feel closer to the baby but I would be happy with either boy or girl.

Have you all been broody long or is it a recent thing? I starting getting broody in August, hadn't thought too much about babies before then!

 

[Jary]

I've been broody for so long I don't know when it started. But it was defo after I met my partner. I think mainly because we work so well together

I come from a very large family so I think that certainly had an influence on me!

Hi ladies,

I'm looking to TTC around Sept/Oct, a few months after my wedding! super exciting! I don't think I would find out about the sex either because I love surprises.

We were tempted to TTC before our wedding, if I got pregnant straight away it would mean i'd be 3-4 months on our big day. I am being very undecisive about that as I am really worried about finances! Me and my partner both have decent jobs, and i'm the higher earner by £7000, but with no family, we would have to put our baby in to a nursary/childcare. We also rent a house now. This has been my main reason for holding off until now, but now I think I just need to go for it! I can't wait any longer!

Sending you all lots of luck that you fall pregnant for when you are planning!

Hello diggory! Congratulations on your engagement! When is the big day? I have thought about TTC before our wedding but I think it might be a bad idea, I wouldn't want to have morning sickness, a puffy neck, acne, and mood swings on our wedding day! Plus it would be nice to have a drink to settle the nerves. But you never know, some ladies get no symptoms in the first couple of months. What sort of wedding are you going to have?

 

[NennaKay]

Hey I'm trying to convince my OH to let us start TTC in September 2012 so we will have a May or June baby. This would be ideal for me because I am going to school to be a teacher and I will graduate in May 2013 around the time our baby would be born.

I would have the summer until school starts in August to spend with my baby and OH! My mother has offered to do the daycare/babysitting for us.v

Now all I have to do is get my husband on board, because he is determined to wait until our one year anniversary : July 2012, or my graduation May 2013-- whichever comes later!

 

[trombonegirl2]

I already have a son (18 month now) and have implanon for birth control... thinking about trying for another (aug-dec) to have another summer baby to fit into school.

has anyone had implanon? if so how long til you had a period after removal? ive had mine almost 1.5 years.

Welcome! That sounds like a good plan. It's nice your mum has offered to help out when you go back to uni. I think I would be a stay at home mum though, I would be sad to miss any moments in the early stages.

Does anyone else hope to be a stay at home mum? x

Hi Ladies, I've been lurking round the forum for a while but decided to bite the bullet and join
We're planning on trying in September too following our wedding! I am excited but also quite scared!
Look forward to having all you ladies for support though
