Waiting to TTC,any one else in similar sitch??

Big welcome Puss....sorry to hear about your father - it sounds like you are having a tough time of it.
I think this is a good place to get excited about ttc though and to ask lots of questions too. I've been hanging around for a while and have asked quite a few already. It is nice to have some company while we decide when is the right time.....I keep thinking yeah let's do it in a few months then nah......let's not! I'm sure I'll know when the time is right.
Anyway, keep the convo going ladies. Ttc is not an easy thing to talk about with real life friends, so MN is a great place to be

Hi all - I'm a newbie who has also decided that dispite being broody I should wait to TTC.

My father is dreadfully ill and we're having to bring our wedding forward to make sure he can give me away , so all in all with the stress of everything it isn't a good time to be trying.

It just doesn't seem right, getting married and trying for our first baby was supposed to be such a happy time but it feels so tinged with sadness.

I'm trying to look at the delay as an opportunity to really prepare for pregnancy and babyhood so will probably be post vast numbers of random questions!

Anyone about - or did I scare you all off?!
Merry Xmas btw, can't believe it is tomorrow...

Hello ladies,

I am waiting around too and feel like a bit of an intruder here! Basically joined MN in June 2007 and ever since my feelings about having a baby have got stronger and stronger. At the moment I am waiting for a couple of reasons. There is the possibility of me getting a new job [should find out Feb time] and if that happens I will prob have to put of ttc until towards the end of next year. If the job does not materialise, I think we might go for it March/April/May time..... It is really tough not knowing and having these two paths but not knowing which we will be going down!! Also quite a few friends/family members have recently announced preg and it has made me really sad because I thought it would be our turn next. We have been together for 8 years! Oh well, what will be will be I suppose.
Sorry for the essay but I will happily join this thread if you'll have me

Ps. Hello Tooyoung! [how's the cat?]

Hi Wanna,

Lol re: feeling like an intruder! Me too...but we're on here for a reason I suppose. I'll have to wait at LEAST a year, and even then it depends on how hard I work to pay off debts etc. I started a similar thread ages ago[broody but skint, at the bottom of Conception] which got loads of lovely replies about waiting/not waiting etc. Obviously your reasons were more serious though.

Good luck & I hope you don't have to wait too long!
