Hi :)
i know its my decision really, but would be interested in what you would do in my situation. maybe it will stop me dithering. or maybe not. dither dither ;)

we're ready to ttc, been together an age, married, own home, nice job- all the boxes i wanted to tick before having a family.

So, we're ready to rock and roll. But, I keep dithering between starting now or in june. the benefits of waiting are that i may get a bit longer to lose a few pounds, have got a holiday in june (and am bit worried might have sickness or miscarriage or something crap around the time, and could enjoy few drinkies if not upduffed) and would save a bit more ££. reasons to do it are that i REALLY want to, husband is up for it, everything in life is ideal and it just feels right... and it might take months and months and years and i'll wish i had just started now.

so, as silly and trivial as it now looks in type Blush what would you do?

Start now! It is a bit daunting really, but if you are ready, then why wait? A few pounds weight loss is not the most important thing and I would find it hard to be motivated to diet if I knew i was going to gain it all back during a pregnancy. Even if you got diffed straight off you'd have 8 months to save up, and anyway, you don't need a ton of dosh to have a baby, people with next to nothing manage it too! Statistically you are relatively unlikely to be diffed by June as the average time is a good 6 months or more like 9 if you are in your 30s. But of course that is only averages and you could be in the lucky group that manage it first time.

Start now! why hang around chances are it wont work first time! Me and DH were thinking of waiting a bit because we didn't want a jan/dec baby but what the hell what's wrong with a bit of practice?!?!

start now, you never know how long it's going to take, plus there will always be a holiday, a party, or something else that might make you think of waiting 'just a few weeks more'
good luck Grin

Lol, I was going to leave it til July. Started on Sunday night. Definitely go for it!

start now, don't dither! I wish to god i didn't dither for 6 months, I 'm nearly a year in of trying but i'm in the minority so I'm sure you'll be fine!

Start now! we've been trying for 6 months, I get married in 5 weeks time and I was unsure whether to start trying - I was worried i'd be sick, or have a bump at my wedding... no such luck Sad
