Planned or Surprise?

Jess&Dusty · April 2014

Planned Pregnancy? If so how long did you try?

OR is this an "Oops" baby?

We weren't trying but I did come off the pill & a month later... TADA!!! Baby on the way!

MY BF has been trying (fertility drugs, tests, timers, etc.) for 2 years & here I am with child & no effort. She's trying real hard to be happy for me but I know it hurts her. I wish I could give her some of my fertility or something, I feel so bad for her.

missnacholover · April 2014

Planned. Temped and all that jazz for 4 months.

ETA: I've been working with my diabetes docs for what seems like forever (probably about 18 months) to get that department baby ready.

MollMoll4 · April 2014

Planned. Had been trying for over a year.

Terrapantz · April 2014

Planned. I call this my femara baby because that was the fertility drugs I was taking when I conceived. We tried for 16ish months I think?

carmelissa · April 2014

Planned. We tried for 18 months, about half of that IF treatments.

mander82 · April 2014

Planned. 4 cycles/6 months.

Allyvaughan86 · April 2014

Planned! We've wanted to start a family as soon as we were married but it has taken so long, it was a real surprise when we saw that positive test! I really couldn't be happier!

wallygirl · April 2014

A bit of both. We stopped using protection but weren't officially trying yet. It took 2 years to get pregnant with my daughter so we were surprised it happened so quickly.

maple1422 · April 2014

@wallygirl, my situation is similar to yours, but this is our first.

raelynn71109 · April 2014

Planned. Trying for 4 cycles total. I first got pregnant in February, but that ended in a CP. Got another BFP three weeks later!

MsMolly520 · April 2014

Planned. This is our second ivf baby. Our first was after almost 3 years of infertility.

venussapphire · April 2014

Planned for sure

ambular81 · April 2014

Surprise!

ambular81 · April 2014

It didn't post my whole message....my first pregnancy was through IVF. Was told it would not happen so yes it's a surprise! God had bigger plans.

PandaCon · April 2014

Sort of a surprise. We were not trying but not protecting either. I had just gotten my cycle back from BF'ing and was irregular so I didn't even realize I was pregnant until about 7 weeks along.

We are excited just a few months ahead of our schedule is all!

Edit: words are hard

abbyful · April 2014

Planned. 2nd month trying again after m/c in October/November last year. Overall journey for baby #2 has been since last September, so 5-6 months for a hopefully sticky baby.

Rhall2088 · April 2014

Not planned but we weren't using protection! So we knew that it could happen

Cindergurl · April 2014

Surprise! We thought we are going to have to go back on the clomid to get pregnant again... Apparently not. Crazy PCOS. But we are soooo happy

mslynn2012 · April 2014

DS - planned. 1st month trying
This LO - planned. 3rd cycle, just ended BF, so yay!

mrsodonnell12 · April 2014

Ds unplanned
Dd planned but a couple months earlier than the actuality plan
Currently pregnancy planned, tried for 2 cycles

DoubleUp8 · April 2014

Planned. I went off the pill and waited a cycle. Then we started trying. We were very fortunate and got pregnant the first cycle.

SugarSnap83 · April 2014

Very planned. About a year of trying, but there was a 9 week loss in that time frame.

Kristy774 · April 2014

Planned. I have found I get pregnant relatively easy. We started trying last summer and I got pregnant in July, lost that one at 13 weeks, got the go ahead to start again in November, had a chemical pregnancy in January and this one in February.

momtojad · April 2014

Planned and we started when DS was 6 months old and thought it would be realy quick since the first try took one month. Breastfeeding makes your cycles crazy and I wasn't willing to stop so charting, opks and supplements finally brought us this one.

Maelara · April 2014

Surprise! But still very loved

we wanted our babies close together and the only thing that stopping us was my fatty liver. If I didn't have a fatty liver we wanted to start trying when DD was one but we got a surprise 4 months early

we are very happy though!

sweetbabyrahe · April 2014

Planned. temping for for 4 cycles. A lot quicker than we expected this time around because it was over a year with RE and clomid, etc with DS.

TexWisJen · April 2014

Surprise! I only had 2 periods since I stopped breast feeding and I guess my cycle wasn't regular quite yet. We were planning on trying around Thanksgiving/Christmas...but instead we will have another baby by that time

lisaren · April 2014

A fabulous surprise!

LadyBird9 · April 2014

very planned. several years of trying and fertility drugs.

lizgrace03 · April 2014

Planned. We tried for two cycles. Feel very fortunate and excited!

jf198400 · April 2014

This is the first baby that was planned. Our first 2 we weren't trying but weren't avoiding either. This one we were trying and got pregnant on the 2nd cycle.

wendyld · April 2014

Planned. I went off BC a few months ago (I'm allergic, really) but avoided for a few more months. I got pregnant the first cycle actively trying for both of my pregnancies.

montella1064 · April 2014

Planned. It took me 6 weeks to get a bfp after I stopped my bcp, which was a huge shock to us because DH has a low sperm count.

Bethyboo26 · April 2014

Planned. Tempted and charted for 4 cycles, about 5 months.

moroccojade · April 2014

Planned, but very surprised it worked out right away.

Celticlass6 · April 2014

Planned. I went off birth control after our honeymoon, but we didn't start trying until about 7 months ago.

MeghanCF · April 2014

We tried for one month and got pregnant immediately. However, it surprised the hell out of us!

mexinugget · April 2014

Planned. Started trying in Nov. but still breastfeeding so cycles have been long.

anittlion · April 2014

Planned

hiketheworld · April 2014

Both! We were going to start trying in march, but in february decided to have unprotected sex three days after i thought i ovulated. My temp spiked again the next day (oops) and now I'm pregnant! So, it's sort of a surprise but not really.
