Anyone dying to start TTC but having to wait and wants to wait with me?

[catlover564]

I'm 31 (32 December) and I am ready to start trying. However we have some debt that me and DH have agreed to pay off before we start TTC. It should be paid off by April but I can't wait that long! I'm thinking of starting February which means we'll just have a little debt left over but I so desperately want to start trying now! Anyone else has to wait for some reason?

My advice would be that if you're ready start now, or at least come off contraceptive. This is month 13 of trying for us and I so wish we'd started trying sooner. Especially as there is always a wait for fertility support. You may be one of the lucky ones who conceive straight away, but if I were you I'd start now.

Hi! I was in your situation until very recently - bits and bobs to pay off before we could start trying. We've still got a couple of months before everything is paid off but we've decided to start trying early and I came off the pill a couple of weeks ago. We figured that even if we got pregnant straight away, we would still have paid stuff off before the baby was born. If you've only got until April before you've paid your debts off then you'd be in the same boat. If you really want it just have a word with your DH - even if you got lucky and fell pregnant straight away you'd still have everything paid before your baby is born and that's the main thing imo 😊 good luck and hope you get to try soon!

Hi. I'm in a similar situation! Ideally wouldn't want a due date before October 2020, so don't plan to ttc until January. However I still have implant in and previous baby took 11 months to happen. Really don't know when to get it out but know the sensible thing is to wait.

@Waiting1987 could you get it out and use another form of contraceptive? I came off the pill beginning of the year and my periods have only just gone back to normal in last couple of months. I'm thinking maybe I could start in February as debt would of gone down a lot by then. However I don't want a December baby so would skip TTC in March and carry on in April.

Definitely count me in!

Hoping to buy our first home in the new year so want to get the mortgage & house nailed down first, and maybe start in summer.... But tough waiting when you feel emotionally ready eh!! Sometimes feels like there'll never be 'perfect' time.... eventually we'll just have to take the plunge

Look forward to hearing how everyone gets on though, best of luck whatever you decide!

I’m wanting to start trying for a third. I want to hold off until January so I can get through Christmas before any sickness etc, but a little part of me wants to go for now and see what happens. I’m also bricking it because I’m more than aware of what’s to come now and any possible problems.

I would also be trying for a third!

Well I decided to go for it and have booked an appointment to get implant out.

Waiting1987 aww, just read your post again and I was going to try and aim for an October baby but realise we unfortunately cannot guarantee these things lol

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we both managed to get October due dates. I'm also breastfeeding and cycles never returned to normal so think it'll be 2021 for me.

It would. Heavily pregnant during summer though, that doesn’t sound fun lol
