a little bummed: TTC related (a little long)
So I'm one of those people that, when they figure out they want to do something, they want to do it NOW. Adam is well aware of this and is usually able to talk me out of it, or to make me think about it more before I make a decision. I love him and hate him at the same time for this! LOL
Well, our original plan for TTC was for me to stop my BC in October and to really start trying in January. I had been reading What to Expect Before and of course I've been reading on EVERYTHING. I really want to stop my BCP a little earlier (maybe sept or aug) just to see what my body will do on it's own and to be able to track my cycles. The book says a healthy couple has a 20-25% chance of concieving per month. That's just so low! How do people even get pregnant??
I'm hoping to get into grad school this fall, part time, with an online program. I think it would be easier for me to have the baby next summer so I can take the summer off from school and restart in the fall. Which would mean starting to TTC in October. If we wait until December or January, I would need to take the whole fall off.
When we were talking about this, he's like, Becky, you know I don't like it when we change plans! LOL. I don't know why I'm so anxious to TTC, it just seems like there's such a little amount of time in each month, and I want to get pregnant asap.
I think I'm also a little moody because I have to go back to work tomorrow after 8 days off. I know I shouldn't be complaining, but who wants to go back to work after a week off? And on top of that, go back on the weekend?? pfft.
thanks for listening ladies, ya'll are great.

Thats how I am to when I want something I want it now. With my last pregnancy it just happened an oops if you will that My ex and I were not prepared for. With HH it was the same way. So now here we are we want this we are ready for it I am charting like I never have before. I didn't realized it was such a small chance of getting pregnant before. Its crazy!! So here it is our 2nd month of trying. Don't know if it took or not trying not to think about it but its there so I guess we will see. Geez. I want to start sewing n planning and thinking about stuff. We are prepared to do this have the finances to do this and we aren't getting any younger so it needs to happen NOW.
I know how you feel but it could happend quickly for you. You never know so waiting a little bit longer would be ok. Talk to your dr about it. You could get preggo super quick! You just never know. Have you talked to your doctor?
Hugs! Hang in there you defintely want to be on the same page as your darling husband.
I'm sure I probably won't have any trouble, my mom and my sister got pregnant pretty quick after stopping BC, but I'm paranoid that I'll be the opposite!! I'm going to go to a new doctor when it comes time for my annual, but I didn't know if maybe I should go a little earlier, just to ask questions, or should I wait until I'm off the pill? I got a reference from a friend of mine for her OB/GYN, so I'll probably go there, plus I could have the baby at a pretty nice hospital!
I really want to start painting and planning and firguring out the nursery, and even registering...but I suppose it'd be good to be pregnant first, huh? And to be pregnant for a while too.
We're financially ready when the time comes (we plan to have 0 credit card debt by the time we have the baby). I just want that time to bee sooner rather than later! LOL
Pam, I hope it happens this month! Crossing my fingers for you for a BFP!

Good points, Pam. I'll try to do that next month, when I have some time off.
