When did you and your spouse decide you were ready to have ttc?

Question

Hey girls! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wanted to know when you decided you were ready to have a baby? My husband and I aren’t technically protecting against pregnancy. However, we aren’t sure if we want a baby yet. I guess I’m just wondering what everybody else took into account before TTC. Thank you in advance!

Answer

We Tried to conceive for 5 months at the end of 2017 & beginning of last year, we weren’t successful. However, we’re buying a new house and I had the opportunity of an amazing new job, so we decided to hold off for a few months until we were in a more settled position with the house and job. We’re all settled now and have been TTC again for a couple of months. I have PCOS so we know it’s going to take us longer. We had the chat and are desperate to grow our family. We both said we feel ready to cut down on going out etc. And are more looking forward to having nights in with a baby, family dinners, day trips etc. I think if you’re ready to stop doing things just for you like nights out and stuff, then you’re ready 😊 I always said that I ‘want to not want to do those things before I get pregnant’ so I don’t feel like I’m sacrificing things. Now that’s what I WANT, not what I feel I have to do for my future baby. My mum always tells me, there is never a perfect time to have a baby, something will always get in the way, so just do it when you feel ready & that’s what we’re doing. Hope that helps & sorry for the essay! x
