BOTB: Newbie Intro!!

Hey ladies! I’m new to the site but I’ve been lurking around for a bit and I promise I won’t ask you to “see into my ute” (my favorite phrase on TB so far)!

I’m 26 years old and my DBF is almost 35. We have been together for 4 years now and we recently decided to TTGP!! I’m really excited because I’ve had BOTB for the past year!!

I just turned 26 and changed my major; giving me 3 more years of college…I must be crazy! Anyway, the thought of waiting 3 more years to become a Mom just didn’t sit right with me. I had a mini meltdown the day before my birthday and confessed to BF that I had expected us to be married with at least one baby by now. He reassured me that a ring would be on the way soon (but that’s another matter for TK)!!

Finally, a few days ago, he looked right at me with a twinkle in his eye and said, “I want to make a baby” which was joy to my ears! We are hoping to conceive in September so baby can be born in June, giving me 3 months break before school begins in Fall 2015. Let’s see if Mother Nature will agree! I just went off my BC to give a month to clear from my system… in the mean time its back to condoms. DBF is NOT thrilled! I don’t mind though…I just want my August AF to come so I can start charting!! Is that weird?!?

    That is my one fear! That we just made this decision and are already behind :(
    And hell yes to June babies!! I also don't know if I could pull off summer maternity clothes...pretty sure I would look much cuter in winter! lol ;)

  • I've had 2 spring babies, and hoping for a third. It's the only way to go ;) Although I hear pregnancy increases melatonin production, allowing pregnant women to get a better tan, which I could surely use, lol. Welcome!

  • @Monicagail1‌ We also want 3!! I just had my brother growing up and while I love him dearly, it would've been nice to have someone else to play with! I would love boy boy girl but who knows what's in the cards! Good luck TTC!!

    @LaceP13‌ I have trouble with the acronyms too! Confession: I pasted the acronym dictionary into Word and printed it out!! Too much was going over my head! Hah! And good luck TTC!! I'm sure soon we will all be moving onto the First Tri board!! (Positive vibes to the universe!!)

  • Another newbie here, and I am so glad I am not the only one to join slightly before actually TTGP! We are getting married in September, and since that's been getting pushed back for four years (really hoping the long stretches of unemployment are all behind us), we'll be starting TTGP immediately. I'm still on the pill for another few weeks but I am so excited to start trying. I am starting charting just so it is already habit when it becomes uselful. I don't really have a preference of when my baby is born, I just hope we have an easier time than my parents did.

    Good luck to us all!
  • Great to meet you!! I'm new too and look forward to getting to know you & all the rest of you ladies!!! My DH & I are on our first month TTC, right now waiting to O! FX for everyone!!! ♡♡♡♡

    Best of luck to you @MaggieKay37‌
  • I'm new here too and in my first month of trying!!! I originally went off my BC in October so we could start trying in December, but found out I had severe hypothyroid that the BC was masking the symptoms of (that and my stubbornness!) so I learnt the hard way it's always good to plan ahead because you never know how long it will take! We just got the official go ahead yesterday from the doctors! Gah I wish TTC could be planned out like all other aspects of my life!

    Best of luck and baby dust to you! 
    I hear you there. I'm such a planner, and not being "in control of" when I actually get pregnant is hard for me. But hopefully it all works out for you!
  • Welcome! I am also a newbie - just married in May! The hubby and I have decided we are ready to start our family!

    Best of luck to you!
