TT TTC- Just a ... thought I guess?

DH and I got married a year ago. We moved into our new house a few months back. We both want children soon, but are enjoying our alone time prior at the moment. We're talking about starting to TTC. I'm not sure when we will exactly because he's really enjoying his non-parent status at the moment, but I feel it's coming soon and I'm getting excited. I've figured out a lot of my work issues that I had in previous posts (just that I was unsure of work status and what would be a good time to try and worrying about finances). DH and I talked about a lot of things and got some things straightened out. I don't want to tell anyone in our close contacts when we decide to start trying. But, I think it's pretty nice to talk to someone about something so exciting- so Thanks Nest! I know everyone is different in how long it takes to conceive, so that makes me not want to wait too much longer. I'm concerned it may take us a while. I only came off BC 2 months ago, so I may not be able yet... but I've been tracking these past 2 months with FAM and the temperatures have been charting out the way they're supposed to. So... just sharing :) Thanks!

  • This is my first month/cycle off BCP and my DH and I have also decided not to tell anyone that were are TTC (except for the two females that I work with because I HAVE to at least tell someone). 

    I wish you the best in your journey and hope that things in your life continue to go well :)

  • Welcome to TTC.

    Just so you know, plenty of people get pg the very first month off BC, so you're quite able to get pg 2 months off BC. Dont worry yourself unnecessarily!

  • The best advice I can give really is to not tell family that you are TTC. 1 - it's really none of their business and 2 - if they are anything like my IL's, they will bother you non-stop or give you 'suggestions'. You don't need that added stress.

    I think for some people, it is normal to want to confide in SOMEONE about what you are doing though, so if anything, if you have a close girlfriend to go to, that's cool - I find that close friends sometimes are less likely to be as intrusive as family would be with certain personal matters.

    As far as the BC concern, everyone adjusts differently once they go off it, so you could get PG right away or it might take longer if your body is still getting back to normal. I've been off BC for about 1.5-2 years at this point and we've been actively trying for 9 months now, and so far nada. Not sure if it is related to length of time I was taking BC (something like 15 years off and on) so we are testing H first to rule him out before moving onto testing for me.

    Anyway, GL to you....everyone here is nice and very supportive and can offer helpful information to any questions you might have.
  • thank you @R.Wilsonny   GL with your testing, hope everything works out

  • Awesome!  Good luck.  WE recently started TTC.  I am not exactly taking my temp or anything, but I have been starting to pay attention to my cycles and ovulation and such.  Going to kind of let it happen when it happens.  If we don't after like 6 months or so, I will probably get a lot more.

     

    Best wishes and let it be fun.  Don't stress!!!  ;)

  • Good Luck Cloudy!

    Update: DH came home from this work this morning and said he's ready to be a daddy! Going to start TTC this cycle :) Will see what happens. Only thing I'm "nervous" about is we moved a few months ago, so I have to find a new OBGYN now. No big deal. Found new OBGYN and calling to make an appointment tomorrow. Also, hoping I'm informed enough to start. I've been researching tonight. :)

    Glad you found a new OBGYN and I hope you like them! 

    If you're still unsure of anything, ask away! Chances are, anything that's not too person-specific can be answered by at least a couple of the knowledgeable ladies here.
