We kind of agreed on a timeline when we got married (start trying about 2 years after the wedding) but I got antsy about a little over a year after. He wasn't ready until we got to 2 years, but I'd been charting and stuff ahead of that so I was ready to GO when we pulled the goalie. He thought it would be super easy and quick, I was nervous it would take a really long time. We were lucky and it was pretty quick. After we didn't get a BFP on the very first month, he got a lot more into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-481200 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:47:23 +0000 mlm2934 481200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: same here!</p> <p>DH would get frustrated bc the only baby discussion I wanted to have involved making it known that I had another 2 years at least before I was ready. Then suddenly the switch flipped and once I decided I was ready I was all in and the one researching and tracking TTC stuff </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-480696 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:30:30 +0000 Alivoo01 480696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby was ready for a baby years and years ago, but we both realized timing wasn't right due to the newly acquired shop and wedding obligations for friends. Once the timing was right, we were both on board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-480690 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:29:15 +0000 mediagirl 480690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, for sure. I knew how old I was and after we talked about it, he realized we didn't want to be SUPER old parents. He took some convincing but we finally got around to it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-480682 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:25:13 +0000 chibee 480682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, by far, if I left it up to DH we wouldn't even consider TTC for another 5 years. He wants kids, but he is not fond of babies haha and can't understand my baby fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-480539 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 11:47:35 +0000 PurplePumps 480539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely me. DH would have liked to wait a few more years if I were younger. I would have liked to wait a few more years too, but tick tick.. =\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-480507 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 11:37:25 +0000 Penny Lane 480507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We talked about it before getting married. I wanted to wait a year or so, he wanted to start NTNP right away. </p> <p>I gave in, partly because I didn't want to go get and pay for a BC prescription. Lazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-480506 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 11:36:53 +0000 MrsTiz 480506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At first it was me, but now DH is WAY more excited than I am. It's really sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-480505 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 11:35:31 +0000 edelweiss 480505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think my husband would have been happy to TTC earlier, but he always deferred to me and waited until i was ready. when we did start TTC, i was the one who researched/knew about charting and the best time to get pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-480499 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 11:32:36 +0000 Meridian 480499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DH was ready 2 years ago, and I wasn't quite on board until this year... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-480475 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 11:20:12 +0000 MapleMoose 480475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH had severe baby fever. Not that I wasn't looking forward to TTC but he had baby fever so bad that he wanted to start before the wedding and was talking about it during the honeymoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-480428 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 11:05:03 +0000 sweetooth 480428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we both reached the point of being ok with getting pregnant around the same time. But I was the one that really had to kick it into gear. He wanted to wait for "just the right time" - which doesn't exist. And now that we're coming up on cycle 18 with no BFP, I'm wishing we had started sooner. Still - it was important to both of us that we felt like we were in a good place financially, mentally, physically, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479878 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:48:44 +0000 lemondrop 479878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was, but he didn't need convincing. We decided we were ready for kids, so we got engaged and planned a wedding. We waited to start trying for about 3 months after the wedding for insurance to kick in, but it took many more months to get pregnant.</p> <p>For #2, we were both ready at 9 months, but I chickened out for another couple of months before starting to try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479870 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:47:01 +0000 autumnlove 479870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never officially tried but we both wanted #2 in the same timeframe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479865 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:45:57 +0000 Arden 479865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty even, I think. I was secretly researching baby gear around the same time he started pointing out every baby he saw and saying "I want one of those." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479854 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:40:31 +0000 ChuckNorris 479854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband was definitely more ready than I was. He didn't pressure my by any means but he is a huge factor as to our timeline. I'm thankful for that now because we have now been TTC over a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479784 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:04:26 +0000 prettylizy 479784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me for sure, I had to do a pretty aggressive campaign to get him on team baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479774 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:02:02 +0000 Grace 479774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. I was working on a reverse timeline (if we want 2 by the time I'm 35, then...). It didn't leave much time for waiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479682 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:35:27 +0000 heffalump 479682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were both on board at the same time with lo.</p> <p>Now I'm ready and dh wants to wait :( he's worried his job isn't stable so I understand, but it's hard to control baby fever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479677 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:33:57 +0000 lovehoneybee 479677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH caught the brabies first and had to talk me into it, but once I was on board I was more into the TTC process...charting and OPKs, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479673 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:33:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 479673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was ready as soon as we got married, so I waited for him to initiate TTC. He was ready right after our first anniversary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479666 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:31:37 +0000 Mrs. Train 479666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to start right away but my husband wanted to wait a year. We waited a month after we got married to try. It took us a lot longer too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479659 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:29:32 +0000 MaisyMay 479659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were pretty much on the same page. Originally we both wanted to wait a few more years, but then I think I brought up moving up our timetable. After our mc, we both wanted to be parents asap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-more-gung-ho-to-ttc-you-or-your-so-did-one-of-you-convince-the-other#post-479649 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:27:34 +0000 mrbee 479649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Mrs. Bee was probably more aware of her biological clock, and so she had more of a sense of urgency. I wasn't pushing to TTC, but then again I didn't object to the idea either.</p> <p>In the end, I'm glad we started to try earlier because the whole process took us a lot longer than we thought it would!</p> <p>Who was more gung-ho to TTC: you or your SO? Did one of you convince the other? </p>
