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

Ooooh how exciting! What sort of wedding are you going to have and colour scheme? We're also getting married in Sept and our wedding is in a pretty garden in a stone archway. Colour scheme is going to be pale pink and ivory.

Hello brittani! :wave: Yeah it's very exciting! September will be here before we know it. Can't wait to start peeing on sticks!

What is everyone going to do in preparation for TTC? I hope to start taking folic acid around 3 months before and exercising and eating healthier.

I just started looking into everything, because we actually just decided when we were going to try a couple of days ago. So I havent really decided anything yet, not a 100% sure where to start truthfully.

Teacup I decided to be healthy and do some exercise yesterday. It results in me walking like an OAP!! Im so unfit! Hehe

Me too! I think that's the hardest part of getting fitter, once you have got the initial two weeks out the way I think it's meant to get easier! I just haven't got as far as two weeks exercise before though.

Only 7 months to go! How are we all doing? What are the main things you would all like to get sorted before TTC? We would like to save a little money, which is hard with a wedding on the way! Also to see if we can get a longer rent contract on our house, so we have a little more security I suppose.

We have to get through my husbands open heart surgery this summer. We would also like to save up some money to give us a little bit of wiggle room for when the baby comes.

Hope all goes well!

Money, job settling and finding a house to rent is our main priorities before ttc

Awww hope it goes well and he recovers fast.

Yes money is a main one in our book. House wise we have a nice place we're renting and it's so cheap. We just hope it doesn't get taken away from us anytime soon!

 

[brittani]

We hope so to, however we just learned that his heart surgeon is possible leaving the hospital, so not sure how this is going to change things for us.

Aww hope it all works out.

How are all you girlies doing? Only 6 months until Sept now! It's starting to seem scarily real! I have been busy distracting myself with wedding plans so that I don't get too broody. I still watch 'One Born Every Minute' though, I always have a tear in my eye at the point when the baby is born, especially when the father is crying with happiness! Can't wait to have that moment with my OH. Do you all watch it too?

I know it's super early, but how do you hope to have your baby? I would love to have mine in a birthing pool. I would also choose to have gas and air only (but I know that will probably change when the moment comes!) I get really scared of the thought of having an epidural... I have heard bad things. I know that they are administered everyday and for it to go wrong is very unlikely but I always get scared...

 

[brittani]

Ya its all worked out now, just switched us to the other surgeon.

I am just planning on doing the whole epidural, and hospital birth. I am always worried about things going wrong (Im pretty sure working in the medical profession has something to do with that) lol

Hi Ladies, Mind if I join you, we're planning to TTC from Dec 2012 although I really want to start in July but DH says he doesn't want me to be pregnant when we go on holiday in early dec. I already have a little boy who was born Aug 11 and was very very lucky when we were TTC him that I got pregnant the first month. I'd been on the pill for about 8 years so was not expecting that at all! I am so eager to be pregnant again, I love it last time and had a very good pregnancy. I'm just counting the days until we can TTC again.

 

[Lyric_grace]

I just realised I haven't really introduced myself either, sorry. I've been married to DH since April 08 so we waited 2yrs 6 month to TTC no.1 as we were having to much of a good time! But now I've started our family I don't want to stop! DH says 2 is enough but I would like 3 or more if possible, will have quite a lot of convincing to do though, especially if no.2 is a girl!

Hi Ladies, this is my first post so please be gentle!

My partner and I have been WTT for a while already, basically we both have debts that we need to clear before I can give up work. I work a 2 hour commute from home, so don't intend to carry on in my existing job after baby arrives - unless something goes badly wrong with OHs job of course. I am also main earner which doesn't help and we hope to have our 2nd fairly soon after based on my age. I am now 32, he is 28.

We have a big holiday planned for September this year, and I plan to come off the pill (Cilest) just after that. My 33rd Birthday present from us both will be actually TTC in December. If we were lucky enough to catch then, we would both be debt free by the time my salary drops to SMP. We will be relying on hand-me-downs and second hand baby stuff to keep costs down.

There are a few things happening this year - friends weddings, festivals, other babies due etc that will keep me entertained between now and September, but I really cannot wait, I'm so impatient and the end is actually in sight!!

Anyways, I hope to get to know a few of you over the course of the year!!!

Hello, everyone! Hope I can join this thread, as we are mostly hopeful that we can start TTC in November!! We may have to postpone until May 2013, but for now we are planning on November and I am so excited to see so many women who are waiting, too!

I live in the central US, been married since 12/09- together since 9/07, have no children but two kitties, and I graduate May 2013 w/ my Masters in Counseling. AND I have no maternity coverage! Hopefully, I'll be able to get a job and insurance this summer and then we'll only be waiting to start trying until I'll be due in August or later of next year, because we are planning on buying our first home in May! I want to be able to decorate a nursery and all that before the baby comes, although really I don't mind either way! Trying in November gives us longer to save money and whatnot.

Is anyone else waiting because they're in school? I read through the threads but didn't see anyone say this!

I'm so excited to make some friends to talk to about this waiting business! It's been so painful- I've been waiting since May 2010, but my hubby has only been waiting since about December of 2011- which is when he decided he was ready. Took him awhile! We are both 25 (soon to be 26!) and every friend we have, with few exceptions, has been having babies! Not to mention, our families members! It just breaks my heart when someone announces their pregnancy, especially when it's no. 2, not because I'm not happy for them, but because I can't be there yet and I want it so much.

Thanks for reading this crazy long post!

Welcome Lyric-grace, ngozi79, and brenn09!

It's exciting that so many of us our TTC #1 at the end of this year! I'm 25 too brenn09! Although my OH is 35! (He doesn't seem 10 years older at all though). We are waiting until we're married in September before TTC - so many exciting things to look forward to! How many children do you hope to have? We will aim for two, and see how that goes before deciding if we want anymore! I know what you mean about everyone TTC at the moment! Both my sisters are pregnant, and my sister-in-law too! I have been broody since August 2011, it was really hard at first but since having the wedding to look forward to and setting a date I feel a lot happier.

 

[Lyric_grace]

I'm hoping to have 3 children (although will reserve judgement until after no.2!) but hubby only wants 2, might have some convincing to do!

 

[brenn09]

We are having one then deciding.. both of us have said we want a large family, so we lean toward 3 or 4 but I think we'll have to see how #1 goes first!! LOL! We do plan on adopting, too which seems to be unusual since we have planned this before we knew I may have difficulties conceiving. My OH is adopted and we're carrying on the tradition!

My SIL is actively trying right now, so that's hard- I so wish I was, too!! I have two baby showers in the next two weeks, as well. Those are pretty hard.

Thanks for welcoming me to this thread, ladies! I'm so excited there are so many of us trying at the end of the year- I just can't wait to get to know you all then cheer you all on toward everyone's BFPs!!!!

Hey all! I think this is the thread for me..I will graduate earliest by september 2012, should graduate latest by december 2012, and once I have graduated we will start TTC. I'm actually okay with waiting, wanna get fit before then (eat healthier, exercise more...no crazy vlcd diets for me ) hoping to lose 20 pounds. + I think Ill be better off with a permanent full-time job that im going to get once I graduate..less financial stress...In finland we get 9 months of paid maternity leave which is great too!
