So this is going to sound reallllly weird. Matt and I want to start trying for a baby around this time next year. We know that is the best thing to do, even though we kind of wish we could start like next month (when my maternity insurance kicks in). So sometimes I find myself wishing that I would be the like 1% that BC fails on. haha isn't that crazy?! Considering some people pray really really hard that, that never happens to them.

I mean I know it is best to wait, and I would NEVER skip a pill on purpose and not tell Matt, stuff like that. lol anyways just something I had been thinking about.

I think part of it too, is that as soon as we do try for a baby that means I will leave this job (this is by no means a career, just a transition job) and we will buy a house. That is something I am anxious for to.

Just thought it was weird that something I would be more than okay with (though super unlikely because I take it at the same time every day) is some people's greatest fear :)

No I don't think that is weird at all! We had a pregnancy scare last month. And ever since I found out I am not pregnant that is all I can think about. We were waiting to figure out if we were going to try to sell our house or not, but now we are going to stay put and I want to try right now. But we are going to wait till this May.

You aren't weird at all for feeling this way. I can't tell you how many times I've literally prayed that my 1 day late period was actually a soon to be positive pregnancy test. I mean you're finally at a point in your life where you are really ready to have a family. I have been waiting for this my entire life! I've even written journals to my future un-born children, telling them how excited I'll be when I finally get to "meet" them for the first time. Honestly, every person I know has conceived "accidentally" and all have very healthy babies. I want my body to be as healthy as possible when we start trying so I started pre-natal’s this month, and have been eating healthy/exercising for the past 4 months. I have been off BC for the last 2 1/2 years, but we are still "careful”. After our Wedding we are going to be completely carefree and are both SO excited about it. Last night my FMIL was like "I want a grandbaby soon." To hear those words gave me butterflies in my stomach because it's almost like "approval" to be naughty and get pregnant! HEHE. I would let your body have at least 2-3 months off the pill so it can get on a normal cycle. You can start taking your pre-natal’s and start being "careless" in the bedroom if ya know what I mean? ;)

I totally understand where you are coming from! My mom has been wishing for Grandbabies ever since we told her we were gettin married (not that she wanted us to have them before we actually get married but just the idea she was very excited with:) ) I too have been thinking how to go about it once we do walk down the aisle in May. Our plans right now are to save for two years and stay in the apartment and at the end of that two years buy or build a house. But I know if we have a baby in that time the amount of money we'll be able to put back will probably be a lot less. anyway, I think its just the thought of having a family with FH, makes me get all warm and fuzzy inside:)

I have 3 kids and all of them were planned babies. We have started talking just yesteray about maybe trying for one more. Now I always wanted 3 kids and i know have that. But my husband wants atleast 2 of his own. I have 2 that he has taken on as his own, you ask him how many kids he has and he will tell you 3. Not 1 and 2 step-kids, 3. But he does only have the one blood child and he would like another.

Now money is always tight but the kids dont go without at all. They have more then I had as a child. They want or need for nothing. They are well taken care of.

But money is tight and friends and family tell us we are all set. But you know what if we want to have another that is up to us. I have a very hard time with dealing with the fact that i will never be pregnant again or have that little infant to care for.

There are things making us wait though. He has to get a better more stable job. We have to get cought up on bills and start putting money in a savings account for those unexpected things that come up. Also new job means insurance and that means I have a waiting period. So things are in place that make us wait, but would I like to be pregnant right now, oh yeah I would. The sooner the better. I want my last child before I am 35. So 2 years to go. Lets get things rolling people lol.

I know what you mean, I don't want to have my kids too late in life(I'm 25 now) and fh is 36 so I dont want us to wait to long on his part either. I know men can feasibly have children well into their 60's or so but I dont want him to feel like he's too old to be a father. Although I'm kinda glad he'll be an older father.

Not at all wierd. I wish with all my heart we could get pregnant on accident - but so far it's not in the cards. I've had baby on the brain for months, and now that I'm married, I can have a baby with a clear conscience. I mean, if (my) Matt and I had a baby before we were married, I would have been terribly happy as well, but now I'm just SO READY to do it..... but we're in the same boat. Hopefully in a year we can start!

All i got to say is all of yall are very lucky.

FH and I have tried 2 times in the last 3 years.

Both failed and i had miscarriages.

Then 2 months ago i found out i have PCOS.
