Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi all,
I am 28 yrs old and married for 2 years.my husband in 30 now.
we stay in UK and my hubby is in software so that deals with loads of mental stress and uncertainities abt where to settle down .. we keep moving from here and there. for the past 2years we moved from london to yorkshire and so on.. i am also working for a international bank and wont say its a stressful job but tiring for sure at times. but still we have started planning for a baby.. we r not using any protection for abt 7-8 months but never planned anything and with both of us working having sex was always a weekend thing so chances of conceiving was very less then.have started planning very recently.we have been trying for the past 2-3 months . we both love kids and want to have our own child. but havent been of any luck so far. when we speak with friends they tell us we sud immediately consult a doc as 3 months is long time and there mite be some problem with us. the general believe is u conceive the very first month or atleast the next month for sure and if u dont then there is some problem .thats quite scary actually.. we went to our local GP as well and she after listening to us said its too early to even do any testing on both of us.. we dont have any major health issues infact not any minor as well. we both r healthy and hearty so we need to wait for another 6-7 months before going back to her n to do any fertility test.
so am actually confused sud i wait or sud i consult another doc by next month and get myself and my hubby tested. i know am 28 and its high time i sud have a baby. talking with friends r making me more confused and u keep on getting so many suggestions and do this do that stuff and talking with parents means getting things complicated rite from the beginning coz they will also start worrying..
can u please suggest me something as what to do?? am actually getting a bit nervous and puzzled plus a bit depressed as every time i am expecting and its not happening


one more thing i forgot to mention is my periods were delayed by 7 days on dec. it never happened with me before as my periods ar always on time generally a 26-27 days cycle.
so i went for a pregnancy test but suddenly my periods started after 7 days the nurse told me that maybe i have conceived but it was not implanted. so i dont know wht to do. is it a cause for any panic? sud i do a through check up by a doctor?i am goin to india next month for a month's hol

thanks in advance.. pls reply as soon as possible
catch_sg Julie replied. Hi catch_sg,

If u r still ttc , my advise- don't think too much about it and try naturally and enjoy it. U r still young and just stareted trying. Average IO read it takes 6-12 months for normal healthy couples to conceive. So just be happy and keep ur family planniong to urself- not discuss with freinds etc as then they stress u out with their helpful advice and often good intentions. Boards like these are good way to ask for advice as the women are sympathetic to these issues and have gone through the same so can advise you on issues u face.
Cheer up and Gud Luck.
strawberrypink replied. Here in US I am planning to buy Clearblue,Iam not sure if u get this OPK in U.K.
BBT you can get anything from the pharmacy.but make sure u chart it exactly same time everyday.Keep an alarm if you want. strawberrypink replied. I know how you are feeling dear.Yest night before going to bed i read your que and cudn't stop thinking.
I have been married for 511/2yrs n we started ttc from past 8mths.but still no luck.went to dr everything was normal.
So my best suggestion is,start using BBT and OPK.Once you know the days ur ovulationg u ll surely conceive.
In b/w these tensions i have planned my trip to india....next month end.
May be after comming from there change in place and mind minght bring some luck.
Pls don't keep telling about this to ur frinds(my personal exp)they make a big deal out of nothing.Though my frnds r close,I just said them that we r ttc 8mths back,they still keep asking me....why not yet?so just have things to ur self.read other quires on the board n iam sure u ll learn a lot!
So be stress free:)
loads of baby dust:)
