was this pregnancy planned?

jessafishy · March 2017

We TTC for 5 cycles with both of my pregnancies.

canonmom413 · March 2017

Yes.

Our DD1 was a beautiful surprise. We tried for DD2 after our MC ( another surprise). And we tried for almost 8 months for this one.

ChocolateIsLife · March 2017

Definitely planned! Tried for 6 years and IVF was our answer.

mylittleversailles · March 2017

Oh, boy was it ever. We were ttc for sixteen months.

carries2018 · March 2017

Yes

dd1 took a year
dd2 was "planned" but I was expecting longer ttc time so sooner than I "planned"
this one 6 months ttc.

Myelhsa · March 2017

Yep! Started TTC in September and January was the lucky round!

singing_lyn · March 2017

DS was planned and got pregnant in 3 months of starting to try, this one was an accident and we were physically trying to prevent but evidently I am just to fertile. Lol.

dinosaur · March 2017

It took was 9 months to get pregnant. DH was 2 weeks away from getting an SA.

AiramH · March 2017

Yes, absolutely! My son was a total surprise as we had been trying for ages and were about to go down the IVF route. I felt so, so ill I went to the ER where a urine test revealed a BFP! This time round I was planning to get pregnant in Nov 16, so a few months late but hey, it worked!

ac1259 · March 2017

Nope...definitely a surprise for us! When you can't make a decision about whether or not you want a 3rd baby, sometimes life winds up surprising you

JessDG · March 2017

We were going to start TTC over the summer and were surprised with this little peanut a bit early. I was still actively taking my BC Pill (correctly). Apparently that doesn't work...my mom used to tell me to be careful because I come from a long line of very fertile people. Turns out she was right. We are VERY excited about our surprise!

shan24 · March 2017

We had talked about ttc, but hadn't made any definite plans. We didn't use protection one time and here we are!

hippiegirl884 · March 2017

Total surprise! Nearly fell off the toilet when the test came back positive. I had drunk a bottle of wine 2 days before I tested not thinking anything about pregnancy because I had what I thought was a period the month before. Both previous pregnancies I had charted bbt and had a clear temp shift so I knew early on.

cooaladolly · March 2017

We started trying January 2015. We had actually just had the discussion, that if it didn't happen by summer we would go the adoption route, when this lovely bfp came our way.

purplestarz · March 2017

Definitely planned. Stopped the pill in September, but didn't want to "try" until December...so used other methods til then. And here we are. I feel very fortunate.

NervousNelly825 · March 2017

Planned. Stopped the pill in December. Waited 1 cycle to try like my doctor told me to and got pregnant right away. My family has always been fertile though. My mom knew I had come off birth control and when I told her I was expecting she said she figured I'd be calling about that soon.

laeberge3 · March 2017

Definitely planned. *TW* We got a BFP last year after one month of TTC that ended in a loss. *end TW* We had been trying again since March 2016 and had just started seeing the RE when we got this BFP.

melarowan · March 2017

Very much unplanned. We are a new couple and are representing the 2% the condoms don't work for.

Uhlease13 · March 2017

Planned. After two other planned pregnancies ended in mmc, we are so happy to finally have a sticky bean (hopefully!)

GenTK · March 2017

Is yes but no a valid answer? We'd been TTC sense September but had no luck. DH got laid off just before the holidays but he's always gotten a new job really quickly so we didn't stop trying... but February he still didn't have work and we agreed we needed to stop trying until things sorted out.
To late!
Good news is he got a job offer just before I found out, I waited to tell him until he started so he wouldn't feel so much stress.

mommac2017 · March 2017

Pardon my ignorance, but what does SS stand for in the poll options?

monstera13 · March 2017

Ours was planned. Took 5 cycles to conceive!

jessafishy · March 2017

@mommac2017 it means "Special Snowflake" so an answer that is not a poll option.

Maksim's Mom · March 2017

Heck yes. After 2 MMCs last year we were focused in 2017! TMI we "TTC"

every other day in January...and voila! Got the BFP in feb

mommac2017 · March 2017

Thanks @jessafishy

curlyq423 · March 2017

Planned. Though twins weren't planned! However my grandma is a twin (not sure if that counts as running in the family), so it has always been on the back of my mind. To be honest, I'm terrified! Thought about starting a new thread for those of us having multiples. I have so many thoughts and questions!

joforyoga · March 2017

Yup. I got pregnant three years ago shortly after we got married and that was a total surprise, I was on the pill and we weren't even sure if we wanted to have children at that point. I had a miscarriage. When I got pregnant with my son that was planned, got pregnant the first month that we tried. This one was planned as well and I got pregnant the first month we tried again. We seem to be ultra fertile, I may need to get my tubes tied after this!

LDKbaby1026 · March 2017

It was planned...just for a little later this year! So yes, but it happened much more quickly than we were anticipating. We're not complaining, we're excited and feel very blessed!

Amesie13 · March 2017

Very much planned. We had been ttc for 16 months and had a miscarriage after my first iui back in December.

mrs_fogue · March 2017

DD was a not trying but not preventing surprise. This little shrimp was certainly planned. I was a little shocked to see it took 3 cycles to get pregnant when last time it happened instantly.

BrittnieMariee · March 2017

Both of my pregnancies have been planned. We started TTC as soon as we were married in 2014, and 3 months later were successful. Our son is now 18 months old. And we started TTC this one in February. We managed it the first try?? I was astonished as I have always been told by my OBs it would always be difficult to get pregnant. They were very wrong.

sjohns908 · March 2017

Very much planned. We started TTC last January, had two chemicals in the spring and a MMC in November. First full cycle after that, we got our BFP for this one!

buttercream_frosting · March 2017

@curlyq423 A multiples thread sounds like a good idea! (Not in the club)

ladyglittersparkles · March 2017

TTC since last July. This was planned

nbcarlson · March 2017

*TW*

Yes but I have had two miscarriages since December so I was pretty surprised to be pg again this cycle and I am farther along than I thought.

emwj10187 · March 2017

I'm in the minority here...This was a sort of planned baby... We stopped preventing it back in November, with the mind set "if it's meant to be, it will be". We were both surprised and blessed for it to happen in January.

baker1jm2 · March 2017

Planned but surprised it happend so quickly. I always had in my mind it would take awhile coming off of bc but apparently not for me. We're very lucky!

feeislove · March 2017

@baker1jm2 same. Planned and we even used protection for the first half of the month so we were very surprised I got a BFP this early.

Me too! Found out it was twins 3 weeks ago and I have been freaking since! Lets start a thread!

acnd08 · March 2017

Yes! Just didn't think it would happen so soon. Very thankful!
