waiting for baby

I [30F] was on the implant for 6 years and when my 2nd one expired last month, I got it out and switched to the pill. My partner and I were thinking of starting to try in the fall so I wanted the flexibility to go off when I needed to. Turns out, the pill brand I was on was terrible fo me, so I...

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hBGgc0P_XZJbEhNhReIhgBGy3HsMYrh2QevdWIrYldE/edit?usp=sharing I'm a crazy scientist and was having a hard time deciding which prenatal to start taking in prep for TTC in February. I compared 13 different prenatals that are available in the U.S. and which I...

Anyone considering freezing their eggs? I’m 28, turning 29[F] this year. I still feel extremely childish and more focused on my freedoms than potential motherhood… husband[31] and I are not actively trying. We definitely at least want one kid. But it feels like a matter of either starting TTC...

So as I'm WTT for #2, I am keeping myself busy by planning out how things will change in my house. I was wondering if maybe you ladies could give me advice on my dilemma. We have 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs. The master upstairs is ours and the other bedroom upstairs in my sons...

My husband (27) and I (24) have been together for 7+ years. I am not quite ready to start having children, which is good, as my husband doesn’t even want to talk about trying until he is 30+. My husband has 2 sisters with a total of 7 children ages 0-8. Over the last few weeks, I have...

I feel like I am ALWAYS currently talking about babies or things relating to them. We are both 26, and I have 1 year left of school before I get my bachelors degree. Our only debt currently is my ~$4,000 in student loans, and we have money set aside for a house down payment when the market gets...

Hey fellow WTT-ers! I've read 3 WTT/TTC book (Impatient Womens Guide to Getting Pregnant, It Starts With An Egg, What to Expect Before You're Expecting) & Im halfway through Expecting Better. With this research (& the internet), I"ve figured out my anticipated needs Vitamin wise & compared...

Okay so my husband (28) and I (27) have been married for a little over a year and have been together for a total of 12. In July, we found out that we were expecting without “trying”. We had plans of waiting until we owned a house. However, when we found out we grew super happy and began planning...

We'll most likely start trying this summerish What was your plan in the months leading up to your trying I'm trying to come up with a 6 month plan. This is what I've done/am doing so far I've got my medicine reviewed and in the process of adjusting. I'm trying to eat healthier I just got...

Why do I get nervous making my own posts lol So to first give context, I moved around a lot growing up. I didn’t attend the same school for longer than a year until I got into high school, so my whole life was just a blur of houses that never became homes and people that never became friends...

Hi I'm a researcher interested in Women's experiences with Pelvic Floor Disorder. If you are expecting or a new mother we would love to hear what you think through this anonymous survey. http://vuw.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0uDddFZpVa8JkaN

(sorry.) I might not be able to drink beer next Canada Day so I'm rippin it HARD this year! I know most of you ladies are in the states but you can still celebrate too! We are BFFs after all. Consider this your July 4th weekend warm up :) Some recommendations to celebrate with your northern...

My partner and I are finally shopping for a house after 8 years of being together (and 7 living together). We've talked about marriage and kids abstractly but I finally told him that I'm at the age (33) where we need to just schedule out when we're going to have kids. He agreed that we could...

I meant to post a comment on this thread the other day, but I was having a hard time thinking of a song. My mom texted me this morning to wish a Happy Valentine's Day to her "first true Valentine." I had a flashback to when I was a kid and she sang "G'night My Angel (Lullaby)" by Billy Joel to...

I'm (29/F) currently on HBC (sprintec) and have been for over 10 years. I've always wanted to be a mom, but my boyfriend (27.5 y.o.) and I of 3.5 years are not in a place in our relationship yet for getting married/having kids. I imagine it'll be a good 3-4 years (if I'm lucky) until we're at...

Hi there! Just recently found y’all and happy that I have! My husband and I have been married 1 year this October. We’ve been together for 6, 6 years of hardcore traveling, (we met when I was 18) and since meeting have hit over 30 countries, most oceans and majority of our continents. Our big...

The amount of comments yesterday was amazing! I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do! Today it's all about the dreaded wait that brought us all here. Why are you waiting? How long have you been waiting? When will you start trying? How does your SO feel about waiting and trying? What are...

So I'm 33 years old, and I've been waiting to try until I graduate in April, and get off all the meds and substances that might hurt a baby when I make one (vaping, prescription ADD meds, Alcohol, etc.) I'll still be under 34 when I graduate and hopefully can come off the substances in a few...

Hi y’all! Okay so, I’ve been doing FAM for 3 years now. I’ve been using the Tempdrop for the past 2 years. I just replaced the battery for the 2nd time, I did it perfectly and it won’t work. Support doesn’t know why. The same thing happened last year, but last year it was still under warranty so...

Well, I guess you could also say it was my brain that did it, and it wasn't on purpose either. Instance #1: I had just gotten out of the shower and was standing in front of the mirror wrapped in a towel combing out my hair. He snuck up behind me, hugged me, and kissed me on the neck, then...
