I work in a school (I know these past few days it has really been heightened about schools staying open) I'm back in work tomorrow.

I am 36 years of age and this week is my fertile week. Myself and my partner really want to TTC our first but I'm overthinking everything now due to Covid. Am I being unreasonable to TTC now? I'm thinking if we do successfully conceive these next few months will my headteacher and colleagues think I'm silly for doing it now with everything that is going on?!? It is all heightened and I maybe panicking more thinking of all the precautions we are taking at school, my working day has changed. My DH works from home so from his side we are definitely safe. Aargh! What to do?!?

Just go for it. I don't think there's a reason to delay, you are entitled to start a family whenever you wish

We had a similar debate as the 1st lockdown kicked in just as we started our TTC journey - hasn't happened yet. I would go for it, all the best for your TTC journey ✨

@cloudydays7 I've wondered the same but came off my pill last week and just going for it.

This will be our last and DH doesn't want to be any older - it's this year or not at all! None of us know how long this will last and we can't put our lives on hold Smile

Go for it x

100% go for it. I work for NHS, thankfully only occasional contact with covid in my specialty, and didn't even think to reconsider it. Also lots of my colleagues seem to be getting pregnant at the moment! Not a silly thing to do at all.
Good luck!
