As title, will you delay your fertility plan due to economic downturn?

Our company is going to cut headcount... but the name list is not announce yet... I'm scared to lose this job...

No way! Nothing would make me delay this.

I hope your news is good about the job! it is worrying times.

Nope - i'm lucky in that my job is secure and i will never be made redundant. Same can't be said for DH but at the moment the treatment is free. Can't wait too long else my eggs will be fossilised not fertilised!

We won't be delaying things.

My job should be relatively safe - especially now that 2 members of staff have resigned and move on. DH's job should also be 99% safe. Monthly outgoings are a little higher than we'd ideally like - even though our mortgage has come down by approx £300 per month, we're still paying the same amount to pay it off quicker.

I hope your job is safe, and you get your

very soon...

Nope. I wouldnt ever and no one i know who's ttc are either. There is never a good time to have a baby and as things stand with us having tried for so long it would be madness to stop now!

I think if people delayed treatment (or TTC for that matter) until we could all afford it, not many people would end up having babies. I think people just figure out how to make it all work financially.

No way - we've already wasted years waiting to try as we wanted to pay of a lot of the mortgage & build up some saving - now it's been 17 months of Ttc - there is no way I'm stopping now x

Nope been waiting for long enough before TTC and now been TTCing for too long. Plus we are reasonably ok with money and both mine and DH's jobs are secure at the moment and the next few months

Nope, DF has a very secure job and we wont move to New Zealand in April unless he's sure he can get one over there. He knows and respects thatI intend to be a SAHM so will be looking accordingly
.
While I think its silly to bring a child into the world if you dont know how you are going to support it, I also think that as Omi said, there is no 'perfect time' its balancing being able to cope with the costs involved without putting it off indefinitely iykwim?
