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

[Jary]

Thank you teacup. I am looking out for new jobs closer to home that are hopefully just day units. Work is dominating all my time and I feel like me and my partner haven't had much time together. It'll get better tho I'm sure

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.

Hi there!
I'm starting in November, also after our wedding!
I'm 27 and fiance is 35 this August, so similar age to yours! Have you started on vitamins and charting your cycle?

Good luck with everything!

Rato

Hi Rato! Oooh yes very similar relationship age gaps! I haven't started any pregnancy vitamins yet, I have been taking 'hair, skin, and nails' vitamins for my wedding but I don't suppose that helps much! I probably will start on the pregnancy vitamins a month or two before TTC. What about you? How is wedding planning going? I have added you to the list!

How are things with you job now Jary? Hope it's got better or you found a new one. x

 

[puppymom]

Hey, you can add me to that list too! We're September, IF we can hold off that long! It was originally July, but I think September is a better time for us, so we'll see...

Still stressful. I'm torn whether it would be a good idea to get a new one or not. Practically it isn't but I'm pretty unhappy with my current job. Patients and staff are great. It's just understaffed and I know that wards arnt for me. I needed post reg experience tho. There is a post where I could potentially be trained to be a practice nurse. Which has been my goal since I was a first year student!

Thanks for asking! I just don't know what to do because I need to think of future baby and be in a good position but being unhappy and stressed in my job isn't exactly healthy.

Sorry, I shouldn't rant about work, I am lucky to be where I am xx

Thanks for the list, teacup! Excited to see more November waiters on here, finally!!

How are we all doing? I have gone into a broody lull again - I think it's something to do with summer months! Anyone else find this? I'm also annoyed because I have loads of work to do between now and early next year so I don't think I will be able to TTC on our honeymoon like planned. I checked my dates too and our wedding/honeymoon is bang on my fertile days! So it would have been perfect. We may have to wait until November/December. Only a couple of months after the wedding I suppose but I was really excited about TTC straight away.

Are you ladies taking your vitamins for TTC? Got any plans to sort before TTC? Hope you're all doing good. Here is the updated list:

Hey, teacup!! Welcome to the November waiters!! I know it stinks to push your ttc date back (been there, done that!) but you're waiting with me now! I'll be happy to cheer you on to your new ttc date!!

Around our house, there have been noises (from OH and myself) about pushing back ttc but every time we talk about it, the reasons are never good enough for either of us to feel comfortable waiting any longer! For now we're still on for November of this year and based on our conversations it should stay the same.. but if it takes awhile to get pregnant, I think we'll be comfortable with that too because it just gives us some extra time to dot our "i"s and cross our "t"s!!

How is everyone feeling with our ttc dates coming up so quickly??? I get scared to death and so excited I could pee at the same time when I think about it!

 

[Jary]

It is coming up fast, I was thinking about it the other day and can't believe how quick this year is going by. I think my partner feels the same but he is still happy with September. That's considering everything goes ok.

I was on prenatals but kept forgetting due to busy job, but once June is here (very soon) I'm going to take them regularly again as its 3 months prior to ttc date.

We are also taking some holiday time in September. I thought it would be nice for us to have a coupley break before we have a little one. I think my fertile days around that time too

 

[Simonie]

Hello!

Can I join your wonderful group? I'm 30 and my boyfriend is 33. We have been together for 12 years now and have a beautiful daughter who's 12 months.

I've been broody since my daughter is 7 months old but the last month was very intense for me. I can't stop thinking about it. I told my boyfriend that I'm ready for another baby but he's not sure yet. Didn't said no but he is not sure, stating financial reasons which are very good! I think it's just an excuse because he's not ready yet but I'm sure he's thinking about it and change is mind in a couple of weeks/months.

I'm planning to start trying for real this time in October to have a baby hopefully in the end of summer or during autumn season. Last time I got pregnant three months after I stopped taking the pill to get my body ready and using the pull out method. It was kind of an accident but we where going to try anyway. I want the excitement to try and test!

Hopefully, my boyfriend will change is mind soon so we can plan. It's still far away, he will have plenty of time thinking about it.

I can't wait to start trying!

 

[brenn09]

Jary: I told OH the other day we were almost down to 5 months before ttc and he turned and looked at me with his eyes sooo round, said "It is!!!" I think time snuck up on him, lol! It seems so much more real to him the closer we get! I got my first positive OPK this morning and he was excited as I was!!

We're taking some couple holiday time in December, too right after my finals are over. We'll already be ttc but it'll be good for us. We haven't decided where we're going for sure, possibly a cruise. Can't wait!

Welcome Simonie! There are getting to be a lot of us, can't wait until it is our turn to ttc! Why does it seem like our OHs are always the biggest hurdle before ttc?? Lol! Hope our wait flies by!

 

[TTCnov2012]

Ahh I love this forum! I just joined the other day!! Me and hubby plan to start TTCing November/December/January!!! Feels like I'm going to be waiting forever but I know it's not as long as it feels! It will be our first! We have been together 9.5 years and married since October 2011!!! Both 25 years old! Everything feels as if it's coming together! We just settled on our new house yesterday... Now I just hope our finances are in order before winter so we don't have to push anything back... Any tips on how you ladies are saving? Or what your saving goals are before you ttc?? When is a good time to start taking prenatals?

 

[brenn09]

TTCNov2012: My doc said at least three months before ttc to start taking prenatals w/ folic acid! However, there is some research that suggests the earlier you take it, the more likely you are to avoid preterm labor and morning sickness! I've been taking it for years, because a pharmacist I worked for told me all women of "child-bearing years" should take it because it is most essential for pregnancy in the first 25 or so days- usually before a woman knows she is pregnant.

OH and I are saving, too! For a house, which we hope to buy next spring, and to have as a cushion when I go on maternity leave because I may not get more than a week or two of paid leave, depending on when I fall pg. It requires some sacrifices, the thing I do is make sure I save at least 5% of OH's paychecks BEFORE we pay bills, just sock it away like it was never even there! We hope to have about $7000 socked away before I go on maternity leave but I'll settle for about $4800 realistically.

 

[Miniegg27]

Hi ladies! Can I join in too please? Me and OH are hopefully going to start TTC in december this yr!

Yay thank you Brenn for cheering me on in November! I will cheer you on too! Yeah I'm sad for pushing the date away further but at least it gives us time to save some money and recover financially after the wedding/honeymoon. It will be a nice Christmas present to get a BFP!

How is work going now Jary? Have things improved? I'll start taking the prenatal vitamins in September I think. I'll continue with my hair, skin, nails vitamins until after the wedding. Probably shouldn't take both at the same time! I'm failing at eating healthy, and my exercise plan went out the window. But I will try to get back on that soon!

Welcome Simonie, TTCnov2012, Miniegg27! Your avatar makes me want a mini egg Miniegg27! You have all been added to the list! I hope all you ladies are having a lovely weekend. I can't believe how quickly the time is creeping up! We'll all be 7 - 9(!) months pregnant this time next year (or some of us giving birth even)! How exciting, I can't wait to start looking at baby cots and clothes, and sorting out the spare room.
