DH and I had sort of decided that we would start TTC about now as he's working away for the next few months, then continue when he came back if no joy. My job had very good maternity benefits which I would have been entitled to if I'd gone off on mat leave at the end of this year, but unfortunately the job became unfeasible to stay in (long hours, overwork, massive stress levels resulting in taking medication, to name but a few) so I found a new job (which I love) and I started a few weeks ago. I got a reminder pop up on my online calendar that this would be the week we would start trying, but obviously not doing that now as I've started at a new company, so can't exactly go and get preggo after a couple of weeks on the job, it's now likely to be Christmas before we can start trying. Although I like my new job, I've still been a bit teary (esp at call the midwife yesterday!) and now I'm basically going to be hitting the magic 3-0 before I become a mum, which I really didn't want to do, for several reasons- some more logical than others. DH is not being very understanding- as I'm a few years younger than him I think he thinks that I'm still really young, but he doesn't seem to get the whole "biological clock" thing. I think he would happily wait another few years on top of that- I just don't know what to do to snap out of it.
