My name is *** and I'm a loiterer!
I'm not TTC yet but am still loitering.... .............are there any more out there?
I got married last year and wasn't in any real hurry to start TTC but at the start of this year the broodiness set in and now I am desperate for a "little person"! DH has just started a new job with super long hours and so the timing is not right at the moment but I can't help myself coming on here to read all about everybodys experiences.
There must be more of us.....right?:\?

I'm still on the pill at the moment and have no idea when I should come off it. There are so many stories about it taking months to get a normal cycle back but then you hear other people's tales of getting pregnant without having AF after coming off the pill. Just don't know what to do really.........
I am thinking of going to see my Dr and get some advice as surely they should know what the best plan is......... Blind faith in the NHS (probably not so wise!!!) :roll:
When are you all planning on starting TTC?
If reading these pages is anything to go by then the reality is that it would have probably been highly unlikely that I would because it seems to involve complex mathematical equations and temperature measuring. No wonder they don't explain how complex it is in school as it wouldn't scare us all into practising safe sex!!!
I am hoping that we can start trying in a year's time (hopefully after one last child free holiday to Australia adn the Hong Kong 7's!!!) so am guessing that I shoudl probably be coming off the pill towards the end fo this year and then being VERY careful!!!
I've been having a nosey on a few forums on here and whilst I am absolutely terrified of loosing the life I have and love, getting enormous and the huge fear that I will be a crap mummy, I am still utterly desperate to have a little 'un. There are a lot of things I'll miss though.............
Think I'll also miss lazy Sunday mornings in bed, being able to go to the loo alone and sleep!! A small price to pay though right???
As they say, when IS the right time? I think personally, the right time is when it happens! We have sat down and discussed it so many times over the years, as a future project, and now is the time of deciding when to take the plunge and start trying!
My hubby is self employed, does very well esp in the hard times the UK has been having, I am full time employed in the NHS, will have been there in my current job a year in Sept, so as long as I am still there this Sept before going off, I will be fine with staying there etc..
We rent a lovely house in the countryside, and are saving up a big deposit for a mortgage in the next few years.
The ideal, would be for hubs to earn a whacking amount every month guaranteed, then no worries on my side for finances etc, but, at the end of the day girls, you make it work if it's something you really want don't you?
We have the support of his parents and my father and his wife (my Mum is no longer with us, we lost her aged 48 3 yrs ago), and other relatives and friends, so I say to you all, if it's what you both really want, and you have looked into it all and planned ahead for the coming years, money and lifestyle etc - easy for us non drinkers/smokers/etc - then nothing stopping you!
My best tip is write a list of anything you both want/ed to do before becoming parents, seeing the world, etc etc, then get those things done and ENJOY it all, then when you are a Mummy and Daddy the 3/4/5/plus can enjoy your new little unit with every success and happiness! x
sorry for the long winded and perhaps nonsensical reply!!
Lke you, Beyondbroody, I am sick of weighing up the pros and cons and almost wish I didn't have a choice in the matter (was shocked to discover that I was secretly hoping I wouldn't get my peroiod this month!!!!!)
your so right! xx
Having talked DH down from waiting 3 years to start TTC to TTC next March, I don't feel I can realistically ask that we start trying sooner but I'd come off the pill now if it was my choice!!
It's good to hear other's have similar thoughts. We did the whole right/wrong time thing but meanwhile thinking that if I got caught unexpectedly then we would both be over the moon!
I am currently on my 3rd baby mag but it's like a military operation to purchase in the supermarket incase family/friends see, ha ha!
All the info on here is fab (thanks everyone) but I am terrified at how little I know! Currently experiencing side effects from coming off the pill - dizziness, very high body temperature, flashes of light in my eyes! My GP didn't warn me about this!
Thanks for the prompt BeyondBroody!

We got married last year and are planning to TTC next year, seems like a lifetime of waiting!!!
Everyone does seem to be sprouting bumps everywhere you look, which is lovely and am so pleased for them but it doesn't help my broodiness! xx
