I'm Currently Feeling: | Was it planned?? You know how we all hate this question when asked by some dumb stranger...well, let's all be honest here. Was your pregnancy planned?
Mine sort of was. We agreed on me stopping the pill, but he was a little hesitant and he actually decided that he wanted to go back to school instead of having a baby...so I said fine.
However, one fine day in July, I told him I am not on the pill any more and he said, let's go for it. One try and bam. That's my story.
What's yours? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Ours is somewhat the same. I had come off the pill.. and we decided that children were great and we were ready so if it happened.. it happened. A few times without anything and here we are! So I guess it's semi-planned for us as well. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I returned back to Florida after a work assignment in NY, got engaged with my longtime BF and we really decided to "settle down"..And this is how it went...

JULY: "Yay honey, lets have a baby!! Even more BD'ing..and guess who shows up!? 
AUGUST: My baby fever sort of cooled off and I said, "Maybe we should wait till the end of the year".........the moment I said it, NO  !!!! Two weeks later I got my BFP!!!
So basically, we were nottrying not to... |

I'm Currently Feeling: | 100% planned. Since I had waited to be in my 30s, I just couldn't imagine getting pregnant before I was ready.
My DH has been ready for quite a while, but I was still on the fence. Starting early last year, it was something I didn't think much about, I had just opened a boutique. I wanted to make that work. But as time progressed the shop was just not making me happy at all. It was not what I envisioned. So in June I started thinking maybe. By July, I said yes, lets try to have a baby. My DH was traveling at my O time that month, so we didn't get to have much of a try. So of course with no surprise, I didn't get pregnant. So at the end of August DH was in town, and we BD every other night. On the night we conceived, I jokingly told him to hurry up and get in the bedroom and knock me up. If I had only known, 2 weeks later I tested positive. I was so shocked, I really didn't think it would happen so quickly for us since i had been off birth control for about 2 1/2 years. I came off it 6 months before our wedding because I thought i would be ready once we got married. I wasn't but I was keeping track of my period, so I knew my cycle. So I think that made it a bit easier for us to start trying. Even now I am still so thankful as to how lucky we have been in making this sweet baby. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Our pregnancy was not planned. Not that we didn't want children but I was on the pill to prevent the horribly painful cysts I was getting monthly. We started dating seven years ago so we had always talked about the house, kids, etc. One month I was having a lot of ovarian pain and found out that not only did I have a cyst but I was pregnant. We were shocked of course but we couldn't be happier.  We of course had to post pone our wedding that was supposed to be Feb of 08' to 09' due to the fact I was going to be very pregnant  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | We weren't being careful because we both wanted to have a baby, we decided that if it happened it happened and we were both over the moon when it did. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I use charting to avoid (don't like bcp and other non-natural hormones in my body). I told DH that I was in a very fertile time and we might think of waiting a day or two.
He didn't want to wait.  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | We were trying for 6 months but after so long, we just assumed there was something wrong but we weren't going to worry about it since we're still young. But then I found out I was pregnant in February last year, we were really happy, but I miscarried in April. We weren't exactly careful from then on out but really weren't ready yet. It took 4 months and I was pregnant again. Very unexpected, but not suprising since we weren't using any sort of protection. And now LO is due in 10 weeks and I don't know how he feels about it but I'm ecstatic  |
