***General TW that this thread might contain discussions mentioning MC and loss.*** 

Welcome to Waiting Room Wednesday! You can express your thoughts, feelings, and frustrations on not TTC and connect with others who are in the same boat. TTC can be a long journey, and having to wait makes it feel even longer -- even if it is for a good reason. 

I invite you to resurrect this thread at any point in the month if you have something to say. Treat this like an ongoing conversation.

When do you think you will start TTC? September/October 2020 (hopefully)

What brings you to WRW? Wanting baby #2... but we are waiting for now. I need ladies who understand what I'm going through.  

Any R/R? SO my timeline for baby #2 is at risk. Rumors are flying around that my company is being sold... Originally we were supposed to be spun off into our own company, but now our parent company is looking at selling us. This is a big deal. I'm the primary breadwinner for our family so I have to have a job. If we are sold, it is unlikely I'll remain unemployed. So... I've started looking casually. I'm still holding out hope that we will be spun into our own company, but if we are sold, I'm going to jump ship ASAP. Because, we want to start trying in the fall... and to qualify for FMLA I have to be with a company for at least a year... and I'd feel like a jerk for starting with a company and immediately needing leave. So yeah, my timeline will probably end up getting pushed back. 

GTKY: What did you do for Valentine's day? DH and I had an at home date night - which involved wine, dinner and talking. It was wonderful, although short because we had to pick up DS from my mom's (who was babysitting) fairly early.

@darkrose88 oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that your TTC timelime has been pushed back! Fingers crossed the company can be spun into it's own company!

When do you think you will start TTC? October/November 2020 depending on my mental health

What brings you to WRW? Babies. Lots of baby thoughts.

Any R/R? Rant - still suffering with really bad anxiety. I'm only working two days a week at the moment. And even that I'm struggling with. Sometimes I even hide away in what we call the "library" which is a private room so I don't have to interact with anyone. I can only see my friends either in private (as in one of our homes) or for a short while in public. (My anxiety is socially triggered). I just really want my life back. When I'm not ill, I'm soo social and I just really miss that part of my life. Plus, missing all this work is not helping with money. Ugh.

GTKY: What did you do for Valentine's day? We had to see my b*tch of a SIL on the actual day so we didn't do anything until Saturday. I made us a steak dinner and we had some lovely rose champage. Neither of us is too fussy with Valentine's Day so that was pretty much it lol

@jackie_dunny I'm sorry to hear you're still suffering from bad anxiety. MH suffers from bad anxiety/depression, and some days all he can do is take care of DS... I can only imagine how hard it is to work if you're feeling anxious all the time.
