To TTC or not TTC - that's the question!

[lizardqueenie]

Hi all

Hoping that some of you more experienced ladies can give me some advice.

DH & i have been going backwards & forwards the last couple of months trying to decide whether to start TTC or not. We both agree that we would like to start trying soon but the things that have stopped us thus far are:
me thinking I would like to loose a bit more weight before getting pregnant, then me getting really frustrated with my job, thinking do I need to change my entire career - then thinking more practically about it realising Im a civil servant so yes frustrating but good maternity leave/ flex working etc. Also money, we have some outstanding credit cards, so should we pay these off first.

Prob is I was previously diagnosed (when i was 16 (shock) with endometriosis, touch wood, i've not had probs since I was about 22 (28 now) but I am increasingly broody, really want to have a baby and given the possible fertility complications, would quite like to get on with it. (sorry to go on - thanks if your still with me!) by writing this all down I think I've actually convinced myself what I need to do but would really appreciate any advice anyone could give me on the "problems" I've mentioned above.

Thank you

Happy Sunday

Hello. There is a thread full of people having the same thoughts as you here. Weirdly it has the same name too!

I don't think there's ever a good time to start trying. You will never have enough money, there will always be the prospect of a better job, and you may always think "I ought to lose another 7lbs." So I have no idea how anyone finally makes the decision! I just decided that the reasons to wait were boring, and I should just go for it.

Hey Muser thanks for that - I will check out the other thread! Spooky with the same name! Yes thats a bit how I feel, I can be far too practical sometimes and try to weigh everything up a bit too much.
