TTC June 2015 or (summer/fall 2015)

[dulcemariamar]

Wasn't there a lot of posters who said that they were going to start TTC this summer especially around the month of June?

If that was your original plan, are you still sticking with it?

How are you feeling? Excited? Nervous as hell?

It is like two months away and all I can think about it being way too soon. I am getting a big case of cold feet here. Maybe Fall 2016 sounds better.

[glitzy07]

We're technically not NOT trying right now, with the plan to more actively track ovulation and all that jazz if we aren't pregnant before summer.

I go through phases of being excited and nervous, depending on the day.

[SallySparrow]

We plan on TTC starting in June. I alternate between being excited and feeling very zen, to feeling like it's the worst idea in the world.

are you from the future??

is HRC pres??

Fuck. I cant even remember the year. It is probably a sign that I should wait until 2016

[lulu21]

We started 'practicing' this past month. We are going to really try in the upcoming months.

[chickens987]

We haven't really discussed in light of what's been going on, but for now, I'm hoping I'll have a new job and we'll proceed as planned. Timing of birth doesn't matter as much to me now that it's not tied to my work calendar, but we have a December trip planned so we may push it to start August instead. That way I can drink during H's family reunion - YAY!

[antoniamarchette]

We started this month. I'm already driving myself crazy.

[simpsongal]

I think we're pullin' the goalie in May. I've been loosely charting, and I'm hoping to avoid daily temping this time. Looking through baby pictures is giving me a little baby fever. But I'm also freaking out a bit b/c

1) I'm not in very good shape this time
2) I had AWFUL morning sickness last time (yay for weight loss though?)
3) RAISING A TODDLER SANS ALCOHOL

[spk926]

Yep - that's still the plan for us! I don't want to get pregnant before June because then I would have to go back for the last month of the school year and I don't have daycare until August of 2016. Then I think we should start trying in May for a "practice" month b/c we probably won't get pregnant on try #1. BUT if we DO then I'm SOL with daycare for one month at the end of the school year. So really I don't know what to do, start in May or in June??

[dancingirl21]

We are thinking June/July/August. DH was ready months ago. I am very much still wavering. I'd have a new baby now if I didn't have to be pregnant. That part is the scary part for me.

I've waffled back and forth a lot on starting in June or at the end of this summer. Ultimately, we decided to have my IUD come out at my annual physical in May. We leave 5 days later for Germany for 2 weeks. We might use condoms through then end of that cycle since, like @vicmo I plan to drink my face off on this trip! So, we'll be actively "trying" starting in June.

We exraordinarily lucky to get pregnant with DD on the first cycle. That kind of plays into the mind fuck for me. Timing this baby is tied up in a bunch of work things, especially a potential new position that will be open next spring. So on one hand I'm OCD about it, and in another, I'm like "well if I don't get pregnant right away I can drink on the dock this summer..."

[redpenmama]

I was toying with it, but I don't think we are ready. I am still nursing DS and haven't had a period, so I would likely have to wean him so we could TTC, and I don't think he's ready yet. Thinking I need DD to be in kindergarten or close to it before having a third, so we will probably start trying no earlier than November/December of this year. I don't want a winter baby, so we will probably try for a Fall 2016 or Spring 2017 baby and skip TTC in the months that would be a December-February due date. You know, cause I can totally control when I get pregnant.

We were on the fence about this for a long time, but we have finally landed on the, "we want a 3rd kid," side. (For those that remember my freak out a month or two ago, DH and I stopped talking about it for a week, and when we did sit down to discuss it for real, we both admitted that we emotionally want a 3rd kid and the only reasons we weren't going for it were very practical - less sleep, busier life, more daycare $$$ - and realistically we can handle and get through all those things so we can have the family we imagined long-term. So we're both on the same page and it feels right. Really, really right. I'm relieved.)

So, the plan is to drink my face off at a friend's wedding and on my 30th birthday, both of which happen on Memorial Day weekend. The timing of my cycles might work out such that we can still TTC during that cycle, so I guess we're technically starting mid-May.

I am both excited and nervous as hell. We have a long list of house projects that we need to complete before then, so it's going to be very busy leading up to the birth. And I will be asking approximately a million questions about 3-across carseats and space saving storage options because we want to stay in our house and keep our cars for the time being.

Got my IUD out this week and plan on starting to try in July I think. It depends on if/how many times I get my period between now and then. I had irregular cycles so it's a crapshoot. Plus we have a little Aug vacay planned, so I would like to drink/not be nauseous then. Planning on a spring/early summer baby for work reasons and for my sanity and not taking a winter ML.

[glitzy07]

I love that so many of us had/have a "drink your face off" last hurrah planned before TTC. That was my trip two weeks ago (where I definitely did drink my face off...and had the airplane hangover to show for it).

IT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME

lol In all honesty, drinking that much for three full days was enough to make me not want to drink for another year.  Perfect time to TTC!  Ha.

[luv2rn4fun]

Before C was here we were planning for around 6 months (since we want them close in age and it took 2 1/2 yrs to get C, after two losses). Now that he's here DH would like to start around Aug/Sept but we'll likely wait until closer to C turns 1 in Dec. But, we're also not preventing...just not having sex at the moment. I am already excited to be pregnant again but also am just loving having this time with C.

[Saudade]

We'll start TTC #3 in August.

[turtletop90]

We are probably going to try again in June or July. The doc recommended waiting 6 mos. after our loss. 

I'm really eager but also really freaked out at the same time. DD sometimes asks about her baby sister and if she's coming back.

[noodleskooze]

There is a sliiiiiiiiiight chance that we will TTC in July, depending on what happens with me career-wise in the next few months.

[ginkgoleaf]

Well we've been ttc #2 for a long time now, but currently gearing up for IVF #2. I'll start stims at the end of April with a projected retrieval around Mother's Day.

[Deleted]

I should mention that on Monday DD specifically requested a baby sister, and THEN a baby brother.

[bowies]

I think I said we would try. BUT I WAS CRAZY AS A LOON.

Maybe fall 2015.

[booboo173]

Well we started last month but history indicates that I will be ttc in June. I'm excited but nervous about the whole thing since it has been so difficult in the past and I worry about how bad the non successes get to me over time

[magpie]

we might start a little earlier than June, but I have one more test scheduled in a couple of weeks to check on my health before we can proceed. I haven't posted about it much here, but I've been dealing with a pretty scary health issue since giving birth (and a lot of very vague information from a bad doctor), but I have now seen a well regarded specialist and I think I will soon be in the clear.

[jene]

We may start TTC #2 this fall. I liked being on mat leave for the majority of the summer with DS

[Deleted]

We are already not preventing (and have been for a while), but I am halfway in between thinking it would great if I fell pregnant right now and really hoping that the BFing keeps me infertile for a few more months.

[Deleted]

we will start in June/July. glad to see I'm in good company!

[hetty]

We would like to start in July or August but we are getting a few financial things worked out first.

[indylady]

Another one checking in. We plan to start this summer... but I'm nervous! Morning sickness was awful and I'm not looking forward to that again.
