How goes the wait this month? (October)

Schumerator · October 2015

Hey ladies! Hadn't seen this posted yet so I decided to get it going!

How goes your wait for TTC this month? Or is this your month to get going?

Any struggles/benefits for your wait this month?

Happy October!

Schumerator · October 2015

My emotional waiting status can literally change by the day lol. Some days I think man I am so glad we are not trying right now, we are closing on a house next Thursday and I'd love to get that the way we want and take another big vacation next year!

Then the next day I'm all like I need a baby noooow! DH makes it so hard with how cute he is with our dogs and other people's babies! He's going to be the best dad and I just can't wait to experience that with him! I absolutely melt around babies now where I couldn't care less previously lol.

My perfect time frame to conceive would be next fall 2016 specifically September so that my timeline would work out to announce it around the holidays :x

I think my main worry when I get all worked up about waiting is thinking if we start actively trying next year when we would like to become pregnant that it could take another year or two and that would be terrible. We are still fairly young but you just never know!

I am starting to lose my mind lol. I need to wait long enough so that I am not too far along for a wedding in May, but I am also worried that it won't happen right away so I want to start NOW!

Last night I told my husband that our dog really REALLY wants a bald puppy!

Lysta85 · October 2015

A couple of weeks ago a friend told me she was pregnant and I was really considering of starting in november to TTC, but the fear of being sick during my wedding won in the end. So now I'm a bit more patient again. Just 2 more months

My SO starts to talk about babies more and more so thats a good sign. He hopes they won't be like him lol.

It's getting harder to wait! I stopped my BCP a little over 2 weeks ago so I'm still waiting for my first period... I told my DH that if he wants to actively prevent until our decided TTC time of December or January, then he has to buy condoms and he just laughed and we agreed that we'll do NTNP for a few months.. It's nice to have him jump more on the baby board because I've been on it since we got married last December

It goes.

I have days that I'm ok with the wait and days that I think waiting is stupid and we need to try now. Then I have days where I'm worried I'll get KU now and have to worry about not getting any paid leave since I'm at a new job.

Pupatella · October 2015

Congrats @AshPat0525 on closing on your home next Thursday!! That is exciting!!

The wait this month is SUPER hard. We are getting married in 6 weeks, so luckily there is enough to keep us both distracted at the moment as we finalize all of the wedding stuff.

I only have about 4 more weeks of BCP to go, and am so ready to get the TTC process started.

emmaaa · October 2015

It's getting harder. We want to wait until we've been married a year before we start trying, so we'll start in January.

I've had baby fever for about 3 months now and it keeps getting stronger. But we are enjoying our time being married and no responsibilities for now. We are practicing though, so that's fun

We have decided that we will try to TTC this month, so now I'm impatiently waiting to O. I'm at CD9 and will most likely ovulate somewhere between CD 16 and 23. It feels like time isn't moving at all, but I guess it will be even worse when I'm waiting for AF or BFP!

We recently moved things up a bit, because I'm stressing out so bad! I'm turning 30 next month, and I'm really scared to find that I will struggle to get pregnant. I think it will help me a lot to feel that we are actually TTC, and not just postponing and postponing.

It would not be the best time to get pregnant now, but waiting to try is just not possible for me anymore. If I were to get pregnant this month, I will be alone most of my pregnancy, as my husband and I will do long distance (USA-Europe) January-July. I'm scared I will have a tough pregnancy and be all on my own, but I'm past caring about imperfect circumstances. It will have to work out somehow.

My husband and I were married in June and October is our first month TTC. We have decided to NTNP for now. I think temping and charting would just be added stress for me.(I could change my mind after a while) My husband and I have always been and EOD/ED couple so we are just enjoying having no BCP anymore!

chloe97 · October 2015

Hi everyone! I'm new to TB. We got married in August and this is our first month TTC. I Was ready to NTNP this first couple months, but I found myself thinking about whether I could possibly be pregnant. I just decided to start charting and tracking fetility. I'm pretty relaxed right now. Hopefully I stay this way!!

vampbride99 · October 2015

The wait is crazy lol..we are in our first month TTC, and we are hoping for a BFP! Waiting another week or so before I can test. The wait is driving me insane!!!

igrokthat · October 2015

I'm so excited for you guys TTC this month!! Waiting is going okay over here, I'm on the same emotional roller coaster as @AshPat0525. Hubs and I both have some really exciting work stuff keeping us busy and that helps as motivation to wait, but sometimes I'm like LET'S JUST DO THISSS.

We each have days like that, and they tend to come and go. Luckily we haven't had them on the same day yet, or we might be bumping up our timeline! Lol. I'm mildly worried that we will end up with a year or more of trying and that will screw with my plan but, since I can't know now, I just have to use what I've got to guess. TTC really screws with us A type personalities, man.

Blonde1817 · October 2015

I'm so excited, October is our last month of waiting, and then we start TTC in November!!! And October is a crazy busy month for me, so it's going to absolutely fly by. I've been of BCP for about a month now and it's going well so far, but my last period was still just during the placebo week, so we'll see if this period starts when it's supposed to. I've been tracking CM but not temping, so I might start that next month. I can't decide, because I can tend to get a little bit obsessive over things, so I'm worried that may happen! But at the same time, I am definitely afraid it'll take a long time to get KU.

The wait is a struggle, but I'm just trying to remind myself that everything happens for a reason, even if I don't know what the reason is yet!

nwshay · October 2015

I just went off BCP a week ago and already my DH is saying "I hope you're pregnant" I keep trying to explain that it's not necessarily how it works! I'm a little worried he's going to be discouraged if it doesn't happen right away! I couldn't be happier! We're on our honeymoon, enjoying one another, and I can still enjoy a beer! Can't wait until we are REALLY trying!

Lysta85 · October 2015

Started taking prenatal vitamins today (I didn't have any regular vitamins anymore) and got new asthma medicines that are safe during pregnancy (hopefully these work, with the other ones I got shortness of breath which I didn't had before using medicines), so my vitamin lvls should be good and traces of the old asthma medicine should be gone before TTC. Next week I need to test my vitamin D lvl to see if this is finally where it's supposed too.

Sirius37 · October 2015

It seems so far away! And I guess it is....9 months is awhile, hahaha. It's frustrating, but at the same time I know it's what will work best for us in the end. I rather give us the best shot of DH of being around for the pregnancy and birth by TTC right after he comes back from deployment, rather than be thinking "well, I hope you'll be around for most of it at least".

So yeah....it's the best timeline for us, but it doesn't make waiting any easier!

futuremomma2017 · October 2015

We were going to wait to start TTC, we didn't really even have a time line, it was a vauge "after we get married." and were not engaged yet. But due to my period being over a week late, it made both SO and I really think about kids and TTC and he wants to start trying this month. We're doing the long distance thing right now, so I doubt we'll be able to do much TTCing and I doubt I will get pregnant before I move in with him, but apparently we're starting to try this month? Hahaha.

Trigger warning

I think I'm one of the few who has started trying but I got my BFP last night!

@little_bren That is amazing! Congratulations!!!!

KaeJudd · October 2015

DH and I are going to start TTC next May. That is a lot sooner than we originally had planned, but I have a serious case of baby fever lately so I'm finding it hard to be patient. However, I know it is for the best. We have our hands full right now. My three year old is being a terror and my youngest just turned two today! We need to wait a little longer before we bring a newborn into this chaotic household. lol

little_bren · October 2015

Thanks, ladies! Same to you

Lysta85 · October 2015

Just yesterday my SIL asked me if my SO and I would like to have kids. She doesn't want to have kids (she's been saying that since she's little) so no pressure there. My SO and I agreed of not letting anybody know when we'll be starting TTC so we won't have any outside pressure or well intended advice's we won't be waiting for. So I told her we still haven't decided and that my SO always have excuses to wait with getting kids (he really did have excuses the last couple of years). First he wanted to be at least 30 (that was 2 years ago), mortgage and so on. And that I'm also not sure about it. She totally understands us, because once you have kids it's gonna be a huge life changing event and so on. She likes kids, but she's also glad that she can give them back to their parents and since I have to work with kids (although they are 14-18 years old) she understands why I wouldn't want them. Turns out she asked because my PIL are getting afraid that they won't have any more grandchildren (they have 3). When I told my SO about this he laughed and called me a little witch for lying. I usually don't lie, but this felt good

Edit: my vitamin D was 77 (has to be 50 or higher) so it's finally good.

Skyjewell23 · October 2015

My baby fever has kicked in something awful. I was okay with not having a baby until next year until about 6 weeks ago. The itch is back and in full force.

We are waiting for a hand full of reasons. We want the majority of my masters program done. We also want DS to be a little older. Financially next year would work out better for us as well. I just want it to be now

MommaChrissie27 · October 2015

I'm still only 6DPO, and it feels like time is just dragging by! I want to be pregnant so badly and I think about it almost constantly. I promised myself that I wouldn't test until 12DPO, but I've already taken two tests, knowing full-well that it's way too early, haha! Any tips on motivating oneself to wait it out and not cave in to the temptation to test? Also, any tips for avoiding SS, because I'm a sucker for that as well!

pourmeanothermocktail · October 2015

@little_bren Congrats!!!!

I'm 7dpo, into first cycle kinda trying/more of NTNP - but I'm watching my temps too as I just came off BCP and I wanted to be sure to know if I was O'ing and when to expect AF. We just moved across the country this week, and now it looks like we don't have the financial security we expected to have here. So maybe a LO now isn't the best timing, but I feel like we can overcome whatever we need to if it happens, we always have before. So not sure if I'm hoping for a + or - right now, but either way in 7 more days I should know something.
