I have been on this forum for a while,
I found it while researching endo (i was dx at 15).

And i LOVE reading the TTC threads to hear about couples getting their babies! Every time i see :bfp: my heart skips a beat & i wish it was me!!

So a little about me... I'm 22, been with DP for two years now, and i love him to bits:valentine:.

He knows about endo & I'm pretty sure he wants to start a family, I'm just waiting for him to tell me he wants to start!!!:dizzy: lol

So i was just wondering whether there were any other ones out there like me??

I know there's another thread that i post on occasionally, but 90% of them have kids :(.

Hi :). I'm in a similar boat. I'm 21 and been with DP for 4 years. We've spoken about starting a family numerous times and are waiting until were financially ready. In saying that, though, If it happened tomorrow I would be super excited haha.

But I'm the same as you, love hearing and reading about others stories on here and wish it were me sometimes. But I guess our time will come :). Hopefully sooner rather than later. I can't wait to be a mother!

I too am waiting for the green light from DH. :yes:We have been together 6 years (I am 27) and have been trying to get ourselves set up financially before TTC. I can see the benefit of getting sorted before having children but am starting to think we will never feel financially stable. I am hearing my biological clock tick!:laughing:

DH and I were talking last night and are contemplating TTC earlier than we planned as people seem to get by with less planning than us and we are sick of waiting. Committing to it is certainly going to feel strange! We are going to see what happens in our jobs over the next 6 weeks (as we are expecting some changes) and take it from there.

It really doesn't help that at my workplace of about 40 people, 2 women have had babies in the last 6 months and there are now 3 women pregnant. Maybe there is something in the water!

:hugs: I know how you feel, before we started TTC there was nothing more then i wanted to get pregnant and start a family with my husband.

What i did was sat him down and had a talk with him and let him know how much i wanted this (and i think the tears helped in my favor a bit too). When i talked to him about wanting TTC he told me how scared he was to have a baby and how he didnt think he would be a good father.

We had a really good talk after i found this out (mostly i was telling him that he would be an amazing father and that i thought that we were ready for this).

I hope all you ladies get to strat the family that you always wanted.

Like you CrazyCake I found the forum when researching Endo.

DP and I have been together over 4 years. We both want to wait until we have moved out to the country town we have chosen which we want to settle in, but at the moment we both have jobs in the city. I dont want to raise kids in the city.

He also wants us to enjoy our 20's - being able to travel etc :rolleyes: before TTC. Whereas I had always wanted to be a young (ish) mum. lol. And now im getting old :crying: (26 soonish). 30's is not what I had always imagined, I always thought I would complete my family prior to 30. Oh well, the things you'll do for :valentine:

Though when I was dx in September he said if the specialist said now would be the best chance ever of TTC DP said would have folded for me to start our journey :p. But my Specialist didnt seem that concerned, though Im going back on Tuesday so will suss it out again for my own piece of mind (scared of missing my chance).

:babydust2: for all of us :laughing:

Right here hon! :wave:


I'm 23 and my DH is 25 (26 in Jan). We have talked so much about bubs its not funny. We picked names. He has been the main starter of the baby name convos!

But still he wants to wait until we are better settled financially (paid off abit more of our mortgage).

He drives me crazy. Says he wouldn't mind if it happened - but then says we should wait until May 2010 - then it'll be wait until 2011!

I've given up on planning a date out of him - just waiting for him to turn around one day and say - I'm ready.

dp was like that i was all let's do it and she was all let's buy a house and save x thousand dollars first. i convinced her by pointing out that no matter how much you save it will never be enough and really how much difference is there between paying rent and a mortgage when it really comes down to it? it's never gonna be easy so we might as well do it young to give us the best chance possible. i think pointing out every single baby we walked past and starting conversations about finding a donor helped too and eventually she got to a stage where it was in her head so she wanted to do it, even though she was all for waiting another couple of years.

Wow I am so glad Im not the only one here waiting for the green light from my other half!
DF and I have been together almost 5 years and we are getting married next year and we both want children but he wants to wait until we are finanically 'stable'...I agree but I dont want to wait! The way I see it is that there is never going to be a 'perfect' time, he is so frustrating!
I have always dreamed of being a young mother and I feel that at the age of 22 and him at 24 this is the perfect age! I was born to be a mother!
DF has to have surgery next year so basically we have agreed to wait until after that (unless it happens before then). His surgery will be around June/July and because he is going through the public system it will almost definitely be put back.
Although I havent had AF since 26th Oct so I do have my :fingerscrossed: although I got a :bfn: when I tested yesterday :crying: so its not looking too good. The more I read on here the more "symptoms' I believe I have :laughing:
Oh and unfortunetely the tears havent worked for me lol
Anyways nice to meet you all!

Yep! Thats me! :D

I'm a teacher and found the forum whilst researching when studying in my final year of Uni! :yes:

I am now completely and utterly addicted! I cannot get enough of BH! DF knows about it and even my closest friends know of my bubhub addiction! :laughing:

DF and I have been together for almost 2 years and are planning our wedding which we will have in 12 months time! After that we are planning on TTC...although secretly I would like to start TTC now!!! Or yesterday! :p

I have PCOS and am worried about how long it might take/the intervention we might need! :)

Nice to know I am not the only one!
