Is anyone putting TTC on hold because of corona?

[Namechanger0800]

My DH has suggested it might be prudent while we see what happens with the pandemic? I think pg women have reduced immune systems and then there's obv increasing pressure on health services which worries me about impact on other care incl. maternity services

But then I'm in my 40s.......

Hey @Annny27, this is all very true. I admittedly didn't have the best care with my first MC, second (early March) was pretty much entirely dismissed by the NHS and I was lucky I didn't have to go to the hospital. Knowing what it looks like at best of times I know I wouldn't want to be there now.

You're right, I think we need to watch the developments monthly and just hope the situation will be more manageable and we'll know more in few months' time. Keep the faith, everything will work out fine one day ❤️ xxx

How are you both getting on @MrsMGE @Annny27? I thought I was doing OK and reasonably comfortable with our decision to hold off. But the last couple of days have been hard. It's the anniversary of my first loss on Saturday and its all just feeling a bit overwhelming 💔

Had a long cry with dh earlier and still at the same conclusion that we shouldn't try but it's really painful. Hoping you're both OK xx

That has to be really tough with your anniversary:( @Venusstarr our due date is at the start of June and I'm really not looking forward to passing that point :(

My period arrived this week, still feeling unsure about our decision. I know it's the right thing to do but doesnt stop me feeling sad and thinking "oh let's just try anyway" and then slowly my brain comes back to the rational conclusion. I am telling myself it's only a month break at the moment and then we can revaluate the situation 💗

Thank you @Annny27 - that's definitely how I've felt, let's just try. It's not like it's been easy for us to get to this point anyway, but that I like the idea of revisiting the decision and that it's only a month. I think I've allowed the negative thoughts to creep in and have made me feel hopeless. I've basically written today off and will have a glass of wine later ❤️

Hi girls @VenusStarr @Annny27! I'm OK, I guess, working full time from home, however lots of my colleagues have already been furloughed and some are working reduced hours. My team is not affected, but we're all upset and worried as these days hardly anyone has any guarantees. I'll be honest, this whole situation has kind of absorbed all my other thoughts and plans and I'm not even upset about TTC, I think I'm just numb because there's so much to take in every day. I'm trying to keep my MH in check and follow strict, healthy routines but at times I'm close to freaking out. Most of the time I'm just getting on with things. I don't even know where I am in my cycle after the second MC and there's just too much going on atm for me to be tracking anything anyway. I think reassessing the position in a monthly basis is the right approach and I will be doing the same. I'm sorry you're struggling, I know the important dates are very hard, I too struggled in January around my first due date. It gets better though, and provides a sense of closure ❤️ xxx
