We want 3 children a few years apart and so thought it was about time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-made-you-decide-to-ttc#post-132333 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 16:32:11 +0000 mrsjyw 132333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH hit 30 and had baby fever really bad. We were both secure in our careers, savings, have had our house for almost 3... plus DH's parents are older... all that combined, it didn't take much for me to say OK ME TOO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-made-you-decide-to-ttc#post-132038 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:06:57 +0000 Andrea 132038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was just time. DH and I had already been married for 3 years and just bought a house. We felt settled and ready to start a fam! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-made-you-decide-to-ttc#post-132035 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:05:47 +0000 Minnie_Girl 132035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing, it just happened. In hindsight the timing is just right for us. I think we subconsciously knew we were ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-made-you-decide-to-ttc#post-132018 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:00:33 +0000 Honeybee 132018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always wanted kids, and he kinda convinced me to start early. :) I was on the five year plan , lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-made-you-decide-to-ttc#post-132016 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:00:16 +0000 DillonLion 132016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got married lol.

So we did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-made-you-decide-to-ttc#post-131990 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 12:48:05 +0000 yoursilverlining 131990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our timing was decided by my husband’s age (46). I’m only 30 and would have waited several more years to TTC if he were my same age as I never heard my bio clock ticking and we were busy having fun. </p> <p>We did want to be married one year before we TTC, and we had some vacation/bucket list things to check off as well, so we got those done and bam, 2 pink lines on the stick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-made-you-decide-to-ttc#post-131871 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 11:46:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 131871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My story is similar! I got laid off and couldn't find another job because of the recession. I was living on unemployment and basically bored, and Wagon Sr. and I had been married for 3 years at that point, and I was 27, so we just decided it was time. It was a very logical decision! But the timing was great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-made-you-decide-to-ttc#post-131870 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 11:46:14 +0000 chopsuey 131870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I never officially TTC. Both of our pregnancies just happened! He's been telling everyone that he was trying to get me pregnant this second time around though. :P<br /> ` </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-made-you-decide-to-ttc#post-131864 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 11:40:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 131864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was working in a job that wasn't going well, I had a terrible boss. What had been and was supposed to be a fun job, went completely sour when they switched management. I would go home crying every day because the new manager constantly berated me for mistakes, but never mentioned what I did right. I never felt like what I did would EVER be good enough. If I met the days goals, it was never, "good job!" it was, "now what can you do to do better next time. Now you gotta meet this goal." It was unattainable. DH actually wanted me to quit before I even thought about it. He couldn't handle the emotional stress it was putting on me. He hated what it was doing to me, so I quit.</p> <p>Then I ended up at home, with nothing to do, no idea what to do next. So we decided to TTC! Haha kinda funny :) I had no job, nothing to do - so why not have a baby?!</p> <p>Looking back I wish I would have gone back to school right away and waited a little longer to TTC, but it's okay :) I'll be finishing school anyway now that LO is here and I know it will be a challenge but I love being a mom and love LO so it's totally worth it! </p>
