when to start ttc

Question

I just got married at the end of march. I've been with my husband for almost 5 years. We have lived together in total for almost 3 years and have owned our house now for almost a year. I am ready to start TTC but my parents were less supportive and excited than I had expected. I decided to go off my birth control this month and I'm second guessing everything. Has anyone else gone through the same situation? Or just have any advice?

Answer

In my opinion, that's a decision for you and your husband, not your mother.

Answer

I was just so thrown my mom is my best friend. Some of our friends we've discussed it with are supportive where others still want us to do the bar scene and party. My husband and I would have had a kid years ago if it was up to me. We decided together that we want this. We aren't actively trying just not preventing anymore. Just was hoping for more support from my family being we aren't as close with his mom.(I'm not to sad about that lol 🙊)

Answer

I'm 25, been ttc for a year now and have a strained relationship with my mother but last week I decided to tell her we were ttc. She wasn't really supportive and because neither her or any of my aunts have had trouble getting pregnant she wasn't too sympathetic. But I'm not letting that stop me. If you and your husband want this together don't let someone else's doubt become your own. It can be hard to not have the response or support you would like from your family but that's not your problem, that's their issue. So you do you!

Answer

Not quite as much time in as you.. together a little over 2 yrs (married on our anniversary last month), lived together 6 months before we married. I went off my pills 2 weeks after the wedding cause I finished my pack. My younger sister knows and is supportive (surprisingly enough cause she's not my husband's biggest fan) and his sister and sister in law that I talk to regularly know and are excited for us but I know my parents would be about like yours.
And of course about the time I go off bc we had some financial hits that really have me questioning if now is the right time to ttc, even if it's not actively, just not preventing it anymore (I'm still gonna track some but not going all out just yet)

I feel like if you and your husband have talked it out and this is something y'all want, it'll happen when it's supposed to and everything will work out in the end.
