Oooh didn't know this thread existed! I'm going to ttc around dec/jan 2013/2014 :)

Leafmould · 18/09/2013 19:19

L t wife... Thank you for sharing your story on here. Isn't it just impossible to get it right! It sounds like you have achieved so much to allay your oh's worries, but the world keeps chucking more issues in your direction!

However, the fact that you have both already achieved so much to get yourselves into a good position to ttc shows that you are both motivated and able. It is such a massive decision for you to make, to basically turn down a huge career to have a family. However, I'm sure you know which one would be more fulfilling in the long term, and you will find out soon enough if you can't have both.

I do hope you get some good advice from your doctor, and that your oh listens well to you when you see him. Take care

Hi everybody, I was looking after the list back in april! But I am no longer waiting to ttc, as I am now separated from my partner.

He was right to endlessly put me off about ttc dc3, it turned out, our relationship had no future, although I was in denial of this for a long time. I might be going to appear on the dating threads some time in the next year, but am in no hurry.

If anyone else fancies doing the list until I come back in a couple of years time with an amazing new partner, that would be great!

Is this thread still going on? I would like to hop on board! Sorry to hear about your troubles, Leaf and L.

I'm basically waiting for OH to be ready to TTC. He's a few years older than me but not keen to let go of a carefree life yet. Having said that, I decided to stop taking the pill recently and he was very blasé about it and doesn't seem keen on 'using' anything else. So who knows what he'd think if we ended up with an unplanned pregnancy.

thundernlightning · 14/10/2013 22:57

Aw, Leaf, I'm sorry to hear things didn't work out for you.

Autumn, welcome! Your approach sounds like a sort of nice way to do it. Sit back, relax, and see what happens. I wonder if I could convince DH to go that way? (Maybe a little less scary than actually actively trying!)

We're still on track for May 2014 start-trying date, but though we've agreed on it, I don't know if he's really willing. He hasn't said anything about pushing the date back but... Well, we'll see in April, I guess!

KateBeckett · 15/10/2013 13:27

Oh Leaf I'm really sorry to hear that. What a twat he is. x

Also.. Hi waves I'm back... still waiting! DP and I were supposed to start trying earlier this year, but I'm still not in a permanent job (and current contract runs out in Jan... eep!) which is what we are waiting for. DP is not doing great on the job front either, though has just strayed into helping a friend who is starting his own business - not paid atm but a prospect for the future doing something he enjoys. Finger crossed!!

I'm currently desperately applying for a (permanent) job for January, and if I get it we will be starting to ttc in early 2014 :) I am feeling so so so broody right now it's insane!

Right, need to catch up on who is on the thread now!! :)

happygoluckyinOz · 18/10/2013 07:55

Thought I'd pop back in as it had been a couple of months Smile

Still no further forwards on any baby-making plans, have consistently been off the idea for a while now, but have started to ponder the merits again... (to quote DH "So you're back to wanting one this week?" Grin)

January 2014 is D-Day for the debt we've accumulated, so should be gone by then and we'll actually have some cash flow. So we are putting the decision on hold until then.

L sounds like you have some tough choices to make. I hope you find out soon what's happening.

lollydollydrop · 14/01/2014 23:57

Hi everyone, we are house hunting- the new years resolution was to find and buy a house this year- and began using the withdrawal method instead of condoms before xmas. I think once we buy a house andI am half way through phd we may start to not ttc exactly, but just try shagging! Then if we're not pregnant in a year get serious about it!!

happygoluckyinOz · 16/01/2014 05:39

Thought I'd pop in to update - officially ttc'ing!

Came off the pill a couple of weeks ago and so now we are letting fate decide.

Good luck to all those still waiting, hope it's over for you soon!

thundernlightning · 17/03/2014 02:32

Oh, congratulations and good luck to you Happygolucky!

I decided to quit my job and strike out on my own and now I'm not sure if we're going to TTC in May or not, and I'm a little too nervous to bring it up, since things are so up in the air right now. I can't believe I'm giving up a steady paycheque and good maternity leave, but I was so miserable at work that I couldn't take it any more. Here's hoping we're still on track...

rosepresser · 08/08/2014 15:04

I am shamefully ressurecting this thread as would love to knowhow everyone is?
Also to say hello and I'm joining the waiting to TTC brigade. I have - wait for it - ten months to wait though...! Anyone else?! June 2015 can't come quick enough!

Leafmould · 14/12/2014 20:06

Hello!

Also shamelessly resurrecting thread to find out how everyone is getting on!

Have just read back the last page, remembering those difficult times, waiting, and in my case splitting up....

Well turns out for me I got really lucky with a wonderful new partner an I am actually pg! So just wanted to share On here in case there were any others who had waited and waited and then split up.... It can happen for the best!

Hope that everyone is doing well with waiting, or actually ttc, or even pg! The op's baby must be 1 by now!!!!

Please add me!

Waiting until May to TTC #2 - I have a 9 month old that I'm still breastfeeding but have had my 2nd period now that was 28 days after my first so I've started charting again.

I'm so excited to actually do the "trying" - last time was a (very) happy accident. I never even got to take a test - it was picked up in a blood test. I'm dying to POAS!
