Hey!  I just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a teacher and mommy to a 16 month old little boy. I'm ready to ttc now, but my SO isn't convinced.  So, I wait, which is hard. I'm an older mommy (I'm 37) and I lost an ovary at 4 months pp due to a large ovarian cyst, so I don't really feel like time is on my side.

    Hello there! Good luck with hubby. It's hard when you're so ready to start TTC and your other half isn't.

    I'm sorry that DH isn't ready yet! Has he given you any sort of timeline or indication as to when he might feel ready?

    Thanks for the welcomes!  

    He's not ready because of finances. We're both teachers. I have permanency, he does not (he has to reapply for positions every year). He feels like until he gets a permanent contract, we won't be in a financial position for #2. I disagree, but I don't think I can change his mind.

    @shan24 that's frustrating! Before I had DD, DH wanted to wait until he had a better job. He had been promised a better position and we were just waiting on the offer letter. So, I kinda pushed him a little. Well.. He never did get that job but I did get KU in one freaking cycle. Yikes! And then we had the stress of whether or not I could stay at home, something that is important to both of us, and it was all my fault. I think your husband is smart to wait. Babies are expensive!

    I completely agree!  However, I'm confident that my salary alone could handle another.  It would be tight while I was on mat leave, but manageable. And, he's never been without a position. He just doesn't have job security from year to year. He feels like it "doesn't count" even though he's bringing in more than I am right now!
