We started trying a year ago, got pregnant on our 3rd cycle, lost the baby at 20 wks, and are trying to conceive #2 and hopefully our sticky, take home baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-282160 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 19:10:08 +0000 Nighthawk 282160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first and only was unplanned. I had never had baby fever and actually was not interested in having a baby. We thought my husband was infertile due to the fact that he had never gotten his ex girlfriends preggo and they never used protection, but then they got preggo as soon as they slept with someone else. We are both Army Vets and we have been pumped full of so many things that it has been shown to make some men infertile. I went off my birth control and four months later....oops. My daughter is now a month old and I love her to death, but I've been finding that parenting is especially hard for me when I didn't want to be one in the first place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-281284 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:07:49 +0000 etcetera_inc 281284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 1st was unplanned, but we didn't "pull the goalie" until about 6 years later (big gap I know) due to work/moving constantly. The baby fever has come and gone but over the past 2ish years it's been pretty solid. Even though we've been taking a break the past five months due to my MC this spring we're starting to feel ready to start again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-281106 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 07:11:08 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 281106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always wanted to be a mom but baby fervor didn't kick in until we had been engaged a few months. Switched from the shot to pills (thought it would be easier to conceive later, not quit going as planned). We were married 10/30/10 &amp; switched to NFP in April 2012 NTNT. The fervor reached its peek two months ago when the husband announced to me and his parents that we are trying :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-281064 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 06:06:49 +0000 Cherrybee 281064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always knew I wanted children one day but have never, really, been the baby type. Baby fever hit me full on in the face about a month after we got married. It was a real shock! We'd already set a date to start trying (a year away) but the fever got hotter and hotter until it was boiling me up! We gave up the BCP four months after that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-280980 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 21:52:44 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 280980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had baby fever for at least 6 months. We've only been married for a month (but together for almost 9 years!)<br /> Hubs wants to wait 2-4 years!!! Ahhh I might go crazy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-269404 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:51:14 +0000 Smurfette 269404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have been ok with starting right after we got married. But we both agreed time for just us was needed. So we were going o try at one year, then DH was too stressed with work and getting his MBA, so we waited another 6 months before TTC. Those last 6 months were hard, baby fever at it's height. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-269401 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:47:23 +0000 edelweiss 269401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: that's exactly how it was for us! </p> <p>for me, i firmly did not want to have kids for a long time, so i think the "cons" of having a child are always on my mind and i was never going to shed them completely (even though of course i'm happy to be pregnant and looking forward to having a baby!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-269384 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:40:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 269384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was highly interested in having kids, but we never really got a chance to officially pull the goalie because Lala had other ideas and wanted to make an appearance before our first anniversary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-269351 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:25:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 269351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 2 months, we decided after my annual doctor's appoinment that we would start trying on a planned trip (about 6 months before we orginially said), so we had to wait until then, We both had the fever at the same time so we got lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-269346 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:23:12 +0000 Adira 269346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had baby fever for about a year and a half! Hubs never had baby fever and still doesn't, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-269292 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 07:58:03 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 269292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started getting baby fever once a few of my year or two older friends started having kids. With my DH it took a while longer. But now he shows me pictures of his friend's kids and makes comments that catch me off guard (good, sweet charming comments about our future). </p> <p> It's interesting though, despite having baby fever I still at times don't feel "ready" to try. We're both getting very close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-269110 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 00:10:39 +0000 Minnie_Girl 269110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had baby fever, and neither has DH. The month we got pregnant, we both had thoughts along the lines of "I think I'm ready/I would be happy to have a child with SO." Apparently we only needed a sneeze, not a fever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-268925 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:25:57 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 268925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A month or two. Of course I had it before at different times but it wasn't an option until we were married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-268792 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:49:07 +0000 matador84 268792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>over 2 years of marriage...we are the last of most of our friends to have a child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-268786 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:48:23 +0000 Mrs.B 268786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pulled the goalie 1.5 months after getting married.

I was pretty much ready after our second anniversary last May but wasn't sure how DH felt until we had more serious talks. We pulled the goalie last August and got pregnant the next month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-268706 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:34:57 +0000 SleepyMonkey 268706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>baby fever hadn't started yet when we pulled the goalie. i just forgot to order the pill and figured it'd be a good time to start, but baby fever then set in right away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-268698 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:33:43 +0000 littlebug 268698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had baby fever since right when we got married but Hubs was so not ready.

DH didn't catch up until just before our honeymoon (which we delayed until this past July). Maybe he just wanted to guarantee lots of honeymoon BD action??</p> <p>Sorry - ETA - goalie pulled in June :) 8 months after my baby fever started! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-268112 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:06:44 +0000 dc yoga bee 268112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been married 6 months, and it magically appeared a couple months before the wedding, subsided right after we got married, and now it's picking back up again. DH is ready to start whenever, so that's good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-baby-fever-before-pulling-the-goalie#post-268094 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:00:59 +0000 mrsjyw 268094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh and I had diff spurts of it throughout our first year of marriage. The two months following our 1 year was the height of it for both of us, and then we started NTNT... and officially TTC a month after that! </p>
