bored...wanted to add a clicky poll but it wont let me..

I am home from work today...actually at my Mom's because I had to have my windshield replaced. Needless to say I am bored and have run out of things to do. I feel like I kind of abandoned my Oct 2012 brides since the wedding. This site just isnt compatible with my phone so its hard to use. Hope everyone has been doing well!!!!!!

 Here's what I wanted to add to my clicky poll..

 Where are you in the TTC process?

  • Haven't even thought about it

  • Since it's my question....I will be the first to answer. We're actively trying since stopping BCP in November. My cycles have regulated themselves but no luck yet.

  • We're waiting to pay debt off, and hopefully have 6 months in savings.  This was hopefully in 2014, but looks like I'm getting a 20% pay cut so maybe 2015.

  • We want to be in a house for a few months before we start trying.  We are hoping to buy something this fall.  I figure by the end of this year, beginning of next year we will be starting.

  • We're waiting for...

    1) me to finish up my Ph.D.

    2) to settle in whatever new area we end up in (hopefully the DC area)

    3) to both find jobs wherever we move to and get ourselves a bit more established in our careers

    We'll probably start trying in 2 years or so

  • We are waiting for H's pre-me debt to be paid off and we want to be married a year before we start trying.  I went off the pill for medical reasons, and we haven't been awesome about prevention, but we've been lucky so far. 

  • We're waiting until the summer.  We're looking for a house now and hopefully we'll be in a house by the summer and then we'll have space for a baby.
  • We've thought about it but haven't started yet. We're on the fence about when to start trying. I'm still in school but it makes financial sense to try at the end of this summer so that I can be on maternity leave from my current job during my 4th year of nursing school. In Canada, we get 51 weeks of mat. leave, and since 4th year is all placement, I can't really work at my current job due to the shift work schedule of placement. If not, then we will have to wait until at least 2016, and I don't know if we're willing to wait that long.

  • Actively trying since November 18, 2012. Patch was taken off that day and cycle has since regulated so hopefully it will not be long!
  • Thought about it but not trying yet. The tentative plan is for me to stop the pill in June when my prescription runs out, and then not exactly TTC but stop trying to avoid it. But lately we've been thinking about waiting longer, so we'll probably revisit the issue in a couple months and decide from there.

  • We are waiting for H to get a new job that will be local, as soon as he is settled in the job we will start trying (approx. 6 months at a new job). H isnt actively looking and at this point it seems like it will be at least another 2 years before he will start really looking. H is a truck driver and due to new regulations he cannot switch companies because of his early years at his company where he had several accidents (nothing big and none on his actual Driving Record but his company keeps the record which screws him out of a new job each time).

    I would also like a new job or at least a promotion at my current job before we started to try, but with this federal drama its impossible for either to happen.

  • Pregnant with #2 due may 29th! We have a 21 month old son and this baby is a girl :)

     

    This was a big surprise as my nuvaring failed but a happy one!! I thought I couldn't have kids and now I'll have 2!!

     

    GL to those TTC 

  • ttc but only since January 1st- my insurance started then! lol hopefully very soon because i cant wait any longer! i want a baby now lol and if it takes too long H may kill me i told him i am already gonna have to wait 9-10 months for my baby i dont wanna have to wait any longer - ! i thought i was preggers already but i have a irregular cycle and am 15 days late but 3 different brand tests all taken at differant times/and days all said no! i was very disappointed
  • We're waiting probably around 3 more years. Some of the reasons:

    1) We currently live with a roommate until possibly August. I want us to have a couple of years on our own, although our roommate pressures us to get pregnant all of the time!

    2) Neither of us have good jobs. Mine is technically in my career field, but I essentially make minimum wage. That and I'm no longer sure I want this to be my career field. Considering other options now. H isn't in his career field at all, but is actively looking.

    3) We want time to travel and just be us for a while without kids. Both of our parents were married for about 5-7 years before having babies. We don't want to wait that long, but we do want to wait. I want to start before I'm 30.

  • Pregnant already, due 7/6, anxiously waiting for my appt on Wed to make sure the baby is healthy and boy/girl

    A little back story, H and I have been together for over 7 years, bought a house 2 years ago, etc etc

    In 2010 i was diagnosed with PCOS bc for the last idk how many years my periods were never regular and I refused to take BCP bc my migraine medicine decreased the effect of it so i would always have to use a back up. I was put on Metformin and since then i got my period like clockwork and my hormones regulated and my cholesterol went back to normal, it was at a point where it was just going up and i watched everything i ate and went to the gym almost everyday (i know its in your genes) but it was pissing me off.

    So we basically started trying the night of our wedding and I feel blessed that it worked as i was so worried the PCOS would stand in the way!

  • We stopped preventing on December 1st, but we started actively trying this month. We're both aware that it can take a while, but we're hoping that it will happen sometime in the next couple of months!

  • We are going to wait a couple years at least.  I'm not working right now so I'll have to get a job and build up a good nest egg before we even start thinking about TTC.  We just bought a house and ar
