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

[Charlie91]

We only started talking about starting a family a month or so.. We had a 'scare' and getting a was disappointing so we started talking about starting a family. We both would like to be young parents (OH because he wants to be active when a LO comes along and me because I would like to be able to travel when we're older).

At the moment we're aiming for December to give us chance to clear some debts, have a nice amount of savings and for me to be working for at least a year in a stable position before taking maternity leave.

How about you? I look forward to hearing others stories xxx

Aw =( Well I'm sorry it was a ! looking at the more positive side, it is nice that it made you two realize what you want... I have been trying to convince my DH to TTC for a little over a year. He wants to wait until my contract is up with my job (which will be October '12) and he also wants me to be off BCP for 6 months before we start TTC. I've figured since I'm about six months away from my contract being up, I can knock two birds out with one stone and get off BCP now so that way once I leave my job, we'll be ready to start TTC.

I like y'alls plan of clearing away some debt & getting some savings in the bank before TTC. That's what we're trying to do too! My personal goals are getting rid of my debt (mainly student loans, auto loan, and some credit card debt) and saving $10k before I leave my job. I've lost around 20lbs in this year that I've been trying to convince him and I think I'm going to try to lose 5 or 10 more. That would put me at a good weight and BMI.

I'm going to have the baby talk with DH again next week. Hopefully he'll agree with my plan and not argue back with "what's the rush?" -_____-

Hi,

I am going to start TTC early sept. I get married on the 4Th August so would like to start trying after we get back from our honeymoon. ideally I'd like to have cleared my overdraft before we start trying .

Yeah, we're always going to have some form of debt (my student finance as one of them) but we're paying off a loan atm until december and have a flexible overdraft so would like to clear that as well first.

Well done on the weight loss , I lost 1 stone 2 (16lb) before Xmas and I would like to lose half a stone more before 'baby weight' just to be able to say that I did reach my target weight (although it will only be once probably!!). Looks like we're looking to lose around the same amount of weight.. Are you going to diet or exercise?

Me and OH have been talking more about our TTC date and I said about December and he seemed a bit gutted as he would have liked to have started trying in May after my birthday but that just seems to soon with finances for us.. He keeps using the argument that there's never a 'right' time to have a baby and I can't always plan every part of my life.

Good luck with your baby talk!! Looking at some people's posts on this site I feel lucky in a way that OH seems to be more broody than I am!!! xxx

I'm with you on the overdraft!! Such a pain... I'm into mine as much as I can go and it's going to take a LOT of cutbacks to start bringing it down!!! xx

Welcome to all of the new members of the thread.. I've lost count, but I'm excited to have some many women to wait with! Is anyone else starting in November to ttc? I don't have a waiting-then-ttc buddy yet!! Anyone interested!

We're 25 (OH 26 in May, I'll be 26 in November, hoping for a BFP before my birthday at the end of the month!!!) I'm in grad school which is why we're waiting and we're wttc #1!!

 

[teacup]

Oooh I think there are 25 of us now! Welcome all the new members of this thread! Time is flying past fast ladies so lets enjoy our final months of pregnancy-free time! (I'm trying to be positive here!) What do you all hope to do before TTC? I hope to save money, lose a tiny bit of weight and get fitter, and clear out lots of clutter so we free up space for baby stuff.

I haven't seen any November waiters in here yet Brenn09 but I'm sure we'll get more people joining soon! How are you doing? Are you very broody or not too bad? I only really get very broody when watching One Born Every Minute, or when I'm with my friends and their babies. I'm concentrating on our wedding mostly meanwhile. I was VERY broody back in August though, but feel fine since we agreed on a TTC date.

I was VERY broody back in August though, but feel fine since we agreed on a TTC date.

I've been VERY broody lately, but I've been so busy with classes and such that I haven't been able to get on here very much! I've had several friends have babies recently and I think that may be why...

My TTC date may be pushed back.. our insurance quote came back yesterday as slightly above what we're comfortably able to afford- we decided that we're not pushing it back right now, we're going to try a couple of things to get the money together and apply for different insurance, as well. Hopefully it'll come together before November! OH and I are just not willing to push back ttc anymore than we already have at this point! I'll be 26 and he'll be pushing 27 at the end of the year! He was really adamant that we'll find a way to do this last night, reminding me to stay hopeful.. it was very sweet, I really have an amazing OH! I can't wait to have his babies!!!

Send some positive thoughts my way, ladies! I'm developing a plan and putting it into action in the next couple months!

EDIT: We have a plan and we're keeping our ttc date!!! It is cheaper to pay the higher premium while I'm in school than to wait until I'm out of school and get insurance through my workplace. I happen to be very lucky and on close terms with my future boss, so I know what the insurance entails there.

I'm so happy there are so many of us!!

Glad you didn't have to change your TTC date Brenn09! Yes there are loads of us! Can't wait until we can all start comparing TWW sympotms.

Not long left at all now. So exciting! Lets all have a nice relaxing summer and get healthy for our TTC dates. How are all you ladies doing?

I'm doing great! The broodiness has been kept at bay this week, so I'm pretty upbeat and optimistic!

Lots of working out and eating healthy going on here! What is everyone else doing daily to get healthier?? For me, my vitamins, eating lots of organic fruits/veggies, cutting out processed foods, drinking tons of lemon water, and of course working out every other day or so!!

How is everyone else??

 

[akilgore2012]

We are also waiting until late September/beginning of October because of our wedding. It's so close, I can't believe it!

Wow you're doing much better than me Brenn09! I am taking vitamins (for hair skin and nails for our wedding) and have gone running about 3 times in the last two months! I really need to be more strict with myself. As for eating healthier, I'm doing terrible! I love my food too much. Have had curries and big roast dinners, although last night I had salad and prawns so a little healthier I suppose!

We are also waiting until late September/beginning of October because of our wedding. It's so close, I can't believe it!

Welcome Akilgore! I can't believe how quickly the time is going, only 5 months and we have quite a bit left to book for our wedding! We still need to book the Registrar (£495) but we don't have enough money, we haven't even got the wedding rings yet. It's strange that couples have to spend a fortune to commit to a relationship, especially since the next step is normally babies and they cost a tonne as well! How are all your wedding plans going? I have added you to the list!

[akilgore2012]

Thank you teacup for adding me! I can't believe it either! This time last year we were getting ready to go on vacation and I had no idea he would propose on the way there! Wedding planning is going well! We just booked the baker and will be tasting our menu with the hotel soon! Things are coming along nicely I'd say! Oh and don't feel bad, we don't have our wedding bands yet either! I have been thinking about the costs of having a baby and the cost of giving birth alone is scaring me a little! Hopefully my health insurance has a low out of pocket maximum and we won't have to pay a ton! Yikes! Good luck with wedding planning yourself! Don't stress, you have plenty of time still!!

 

[brenn09]

I'm dying to know how everyone has been doing in this thread!! I can't believe how close our ttc time is getting! What are you doing to get ready for ttc? Any special plans or to-dos left to check off of your list before ttc later this year?

I'm getting very close to the 6 month mark before ttc and I have been super excited and very broody, but in a good way! I've found that the closer I get to ttc the less I experience pain/jealousy, etc. about other's pregnancies, although the feelings are still there- they're just not as sharp.

Edit: I still don't have a wttc #1 buddy!! Anyone else ttc baby #1 in November of this year??? I can't really be the only one!! LOL!

 

[Summer_millie]

Hi everyone, it's so lovely to hear lots of people in a similar situation to me. I've been feeling a bit down lately as I felt like time is practically standing still it is going so slowly!!! But now reading some of your really positive comments it's made me think that I have 4 months left to get ready and hopefully it will pass quite quickly! Can you add me to the list please? We're TTC from 1st September, our 5th wedding anniversary

 

[Jary]

I so get what you mean. Time seems to be standing still! I feel like I'm still in limbo even tho I've started my job. But then, it's been so stressful and I've had many teary moments because I feel like a rubbish nurse! I think because of that it's made our ttc date further away

Not to worry ladies, time is ticking away as we speak do we will get there!

 

[Girly922]

We are waiting until October/November to TTC #1. Can't believe how quick times going, it'll be here soon.

Ah brenn09, I think it's only us for the November time.

 

[NennaKay]

It looks like my TTC date has been moved to December 2012... This is so much better than the May 2013 my OH previously insisted on! Good luck ladies!!

 

[Chloezilla]

Hello Ladies!

This is my first post! My husband (age 29) and I (age 24) are gonna try for a babino starting September 2012, after I'm bridesmaid at my best friends wedding.
From now 'til then I need to lose some weight and improve my general health (I'm a junkfood addict!).

I'm so excited! And its so lovely to know we're all in the same boat. Add me to that list please, teacup

Hi Brenn09! Things going good for me here thanks, got a big job come in so have some money coming over the next 8 months. Though I may have to postpone TTC until Jan/Feb but will see how job goes. How are you? Yeah I know what you mean, I don't really get jealous at all about seeing ladies with babies anymore, I just get excited that we'll be able to try for our own baby soon! Very exciting and not long off now!

I'm sure you're a great nurse, the hard times teach us a lot and only make you stronger - don't let them get you down. Hope things get less stressful, I have a lot of admiration for nurses - they work so hard and help so many people. xx

We are waiting until October/November to TTC #1. Can't believe how quick times going, it'll be here soon.

Ah brenn09, I think it's only us for the November time.

Welcome Girly922! :wave: I've added you to the list too. So many of us to support each other now! Yay!

It looks like my TTC date has been moved to December 2012... This is so much better than the May 2013 my OH previously insisted on! Good luck ladies!!

I've moved your date Nennakay. I hope you get a BFP for Christmas!
