Trying to Get Pregnant

Ok, so I've been lurking about a month now....We've been married 13 years in August, I know long while to wait to start right!? 
We were 18 & 21 when we got married, I know babies but we had been together for years, and knew that we were it for each other, and I wouldn't change a thing!....I am thankful to be posting here, there were a few years that I thought my hubby would never want to have kids. When we first got married we were so not thinking about it, and I thought we had all the time in the world....fast forward to my mid-20s and I'm feeling ready (my BF gets pregnant & I cry in the shower, and about 3 years later another), but he has been so adamant that he didn't want any....I fight the urge, 2 co-workers have babies within a year....try to push it out of my mind....then last year 30 is knocking and my clock is ticking SO loud! then my cousin (we grew up together, 6 wks apart in age) tells us they're having a baby(in October, beautiful sweet baby girl) a week before my birthday....which leads to a miserable week and a MAJOR breakdown the night before my birthday! We had a serious heart-to-heart that night, I couldn't keep it from him anymore...he admits to me that he is not as against it as he had been and is open to possibly trying soon...Thanksgiving I find out another 1st cousin is expecting mid-July and the discussion opens again, he is ready to try! I mean even talking baby names and how i'll look with a baby belly, etc., him instigating the discussions! He has made a total 180 in the last year, I am just so thankful!....so, here we are! I went off of BC beginning of January AF Jan 7, had first AF off Feb 5 (29 days), couldn't believe that, as I was alway irregular before starting BC 13 years ago....I know there is no normal well, actively tried this month (just based on estimated fertile week, hit it pretty good I think) and just waiting it out...AF would be due next week...so trying to hold out til weekend to test is she doesn't arrive before...I know it's very unlikely to happen first try but can always hope! I know I haven't posted, but love reading all the posts on here, and lots of info! even the snarky comments lol Oh, I am not temping or anything yet, just going with it for now, if nothing happens in a few months I will look into it more (we actually live in the Bahamas and the temping kits etc are not available local, will have to order or wait until we visit Florida again)

With that being said I didn't read any of your post, but I'd still like to welcome you and say good luck!
First u/s 4-21-14, Baby G has a heartbeat! 112BPM
Second u/s 5-1-14 140BPM | Third u/s 5-3-14 168BPM
Got married young, husband doesn't want kids, every female in her life gets pregnant, she wants kids, talks to husband, he's "meh, maybe" about it, more people get knocked up, talks to husband, he's all "YAY! Babies" and now they are trying. Oh, smiley face.
Anyway, welcome!

@militiger you were happy someone miscarried?!? Wtf that is kind of messed up! I can understand feeling frustrated with others being pregnant and it not happening for yourself but to be happy someone miscarried? I'm not so sure I agree with that one!

@militiger, that's really fucked up.
And @militiger, I honestly have never been so stunned by a comment on this forum. Coming from someone who has miscarried a child, you should be ashamed at what you said and at how you felt. I get being overwhelmed with lots of pregnancies around you, but to be relieved someone lost a child? I hope you never have to experience that pain because I certainly wouldn't wish it on even my worse enemy. Next time why don't you try just removing yourself from social media. Babies can't "assault" you. Your post seriously was so offensive ...

I agree walls of text are not fun, but I must be bored today because I read the whole thing. Sounds like you just had a lot to let out. Make sure to continue to lurk around and check out the newbie blog if you haven't already. Enjoy!
@Militiger - aren't you the one that got super senstive about how many people choose to temp? Sounds like you get worked up about dumb things and in return say things that are horribly insensitive.
How insensitive.
OP, welcome!
Me too! I was sitting here here happily eating my breakfast and I literally stopped chewing at that sentence and re-read it like three times.
Welcome OP! I'm in a reading mood so I read your whole intro
