I had a more in depth conversation with my fiancé today. My IUD removal appointment is 9/12 and I was hoping to start trying right away but he wants to wait until January/February. His career is significantly busier in the summer so it makes more sense to aim for our baby’s birthday being in the fall or winter so he could take more time off to support us. We’re both young (I’m 23 and he is 25) so I do hope it will happen in the window we aim for.
The funniest part is that we’ve been together nearly 4 years and I’ve had my mirena IUD for 5, so he’s actually never experienced me on my period! I remember my period being fairly mild as a teen so hopefully it doesn’t scare him away! I already bought a big pack of organic pads (I don’t remember those existing much as a teen) and I’m going to get fertility-friendly lube and hopefully he doesn’t judge me lol!
He gave me a goal of how much money I should save between now and September 2023 (the earliest baby would be due and I would SAH) and I think it’s a feasible amount. I recently got promoted and I’m already making huge payments towards my debt.
My goals are:
1) pay off my credit card debt
2) save up $X that my fiancé recommended
3) continue to go to the gym 1-2 times/week
4. Declutter our home!
5) be mindful of what I put into my body
I love reading everyone’s posts & comments so I’d love to hear about your own goals and thoughts here.
