We've been actively trying to prevent now since DD's birth so 8 months. We've been married 32 months now so I guess preventing 8 months out of 32. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vs-avoiding-pregnancy#post-2123368 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 19:45:12 +0000 MrsF 2123368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prevented for total of 13 years. TTC for 3 months (two different pregnancies). I'll count the time during both pregnancies as neutral I guess. Pretty crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vs-avoiding-pregnancy#post-2123360 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 19:42:07 +0000 babycanuck 2123360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>prevented for 10 years, tried for just over 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vs-avoiding-pregnancy#post-2123352 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 19:38:47 +0000 mrscobee 2123352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far prevented for 7 years, tried for 5 months before getting pregnant... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-vs-avoiding-pregnancy#post-2123269 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 18:55:48 +0000 DillonLion 2123269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very, very happy with my one LO and do not want any more children. </p> <p>I was thinking today that I spent nearly 10 years actively preventing pregnancy before having LO, and have been actively preventing ever since, and probably will until one of us takes some sort of permanent measure. </p> <p>It worked out to 5 months of my life wanting to be pregnant before getting knocked up, and the entire rest of my adulthood (until menopause/permanent BC) is spent preventing pregnancy! That's crazy to me. </p> <p>How long did you TTC vs actively avoiding getting pregnant? </p>
