How did you bring up the topic of TTC with your DH?

I mean we have discussed wanting a family and even a timeline. DH wants to wait until he is finished with school(Dec '06). I am thinking that we should start sooner. I just don't think he understands that I am over 30 and getting PG is not always easy. I would hate to wait too long. I just don't know how to discuss it without making him feel pressured. Any thoughts?

My advice is to say exactly what you said here... and end it with that you're not pressuring him, but would wish that he reconsider, and for him to let you know what his thoughts are after he's thought about it.

Good luck!

I agree - say what you said here and maybe you can TTC earlier so you would have a due date closer to when he graduates.

I will third that response. Be honest and maybe explain some of the risks of waiting and also that you may not get PG right away.

I also agree. You need to be honest. Sometimes they don't realize what our bodies go through before, during and after pregnancy. Like I did with my DH, I educated him so he knew what to expect and what TTC is all about...things don't happen1-2-3...and sometimes they take that for granted. You need to stress how important it is for you with out making him feel pressured.

Thank you all!!! I guess I am just nervous about all of this. I hope that is normal.
