Finally going to quit lurking and vent a little...

So I had this super long post written and the decided it was waaaaaaaaaay to long and no one wanted to read my entire life story so here is the short version. I have a lovely DD1 who is 15 months old. Wanted to try for baby2 this fall. Hubby wants baby2 to be born in March ( well to aim for that anyways). That would mean getting pregnant in like June. I am still overweight and out of shape, wanted to fix that this spring and summer before ttc. So either ttc before I prep my body or wait another year before even trying. Had super irregular periods before DD1 ended up getting our BFP thanks to Clomid (first cycle). Right now things are regular so I fear that if I wait to long to ttc that my body may go back to its irregular ways and we probably wouldn't get so lucky next time ( getting pregnant on our first round of Clomid). Really enjoying being a family of 3 right now but definitally starting to get some baby fever and would like to keep the kids fairly close in age. Whew! That was much shorter. This is really just a vent, I feel better putting it all out there and knowing I'm probably not alone in all this. My hubby doesn't get why I'm so torn about baby 2 to him it's either try this summer or just wait, he doesn't care. I know I'm over thinking things a little, but that's what us ladies do right? lol

Why is he so set on March?

 

 

 

" to him it's either try this summer or just wait, he doesn't care."

Do you mean that he's so set on having a baby born in March that he ONLY wants to TTC whenever that can happen, and if it doesn't, wait a whole year and try again?  That's like trying one cycle a year.

March is his birthday and he thinks it would be like the greatest thing EVER to have a baby be born close to his birthday. Silly I know. I've told him a million times the odds of us having success doing that are super slim. I think if it didn't work out next summer he'd be okay just continuing to try and take whatever comes.

I think your husband is being kind of ridiculous. It's really quite silly to aim for one month out of the year.

Ditto the other posters-- it's really difficult to "aim" for one specific month.

If you do want to start trying in June- you have 3 months to get into better shape/ change your eating habits.  If you don't wind up pregnant in June, then you have another month to do so-- and so on.

GL!

This is true. I guess I'll just work my butt off (hopefully literally!) this spring and see where I stand in June. I hate the idea of waiting another year to even try and as long as I have a work routine established it would be safe to continue should I just happen to get pregnant right way. Thanks for letting me vent it out on here, I know I tend to over think things sometimes!
