Last week I came off of the depo injection to give my body a bit of time to try and sort itself before me and OH start ttc next year in May. However now I've come off it I'm even more eager to starting trying. How do you cope with the wait? 😬

Hi Rae, the wait is sooooo hard! But I've found chatting on here really helps. We're also waiting until at least May next year and my OH doesn't want to talk "baby" all the time until then lol. So I come on here so I can talk about all things baby
Sounds like we'll be ttc at the same time which would be great! xx

Hi
It can be hard at times but if you remind yourself WHY you decided to ttc when you did that will help. For example we started talking about ttc no 2 some time ago but I wanted to wait so that the gap is as close to 3 years as possible so that coping with 2 may be a bit easier x

Waiting is quite hard to do especially if you are eager to do it now. I have been in a situation like this. It seems that you cannot wait for tomorrow anymore. However, if you do not want to notice the time, find any interesting activities outside to forget the dates of the year.

I'm finding it really hard to wait too. I know my weight will make me high risk but waiting for something u want is so hard especially when you know it may not happen right away.
I haven't been on contraception since I had my daughter 6 years ago so I know it's not going to be as simple as have sex.... Get pregnant.
I do avoid ovulation but some months we've done it near and not caught.
I know I'm in for a good few months if not longer of properly trying.
My af came today 3 days early and even though I avoided ov I was gutted lol

Linxminx21 I'm the same with my bmi, it's too high and I don't want to be high risk as it will reduce where I can give birth. Need to lose weight (and get the house sorted) before we start trying for another, but I see a pictures of babies and I just want to forget it and jump on my husband
I also want to wait until June next year, very difficult to wait, seems so far away...

Ellieh it's hard because I read stories of bigger people than me being ok all the way through their pregnancies and smaller people having issues.
Every pregnancy is different too. But when I asked if I'd be high risk for BP again they said yes if it's with the same father, and it is.
The waiting game is a tough one. Losing weight even harder but we will get there and it will be so worth the wait!

At the moment if I'm tempted to have another (snack sized) chocolate I just think 'eat that or have a baby' same with anything I'm tempted by, doing well so far... just got to keep going and keep at it.
DH just asked what I wanted for Christmas, then said 'and not a baby as that's not a present'. Knows me so well haha

Most of the reasons we had for waiting aren't really reasons anymore. We're moving into a bigger house next year and although it will be harder moving with a baby I know it won't be impossible. I also wanted to be at least 20 when I conceived to break the 'family curse' (last two generations conceived at 19, gave birth at 20). The main reason we're waiting now is because I'm scared to disappoint my dad. Before I met OH I didn't even want kids but now it's all I can think about. OH is older than me too (23) and he's ready to go whenever, he's left me in charge of setting the date to start trying.
