Anyone else TTC while wedding planning?

I'll go off BC about two months before the wedding. We'll still use protection, but my doctor recommended I have some tests done before we start trying and the BC needs to be out of your system for a while for them to be accurate. We are hoping to have a honeymoon baby. I would be fine conceiving before then though.

I don't really have tips, but I just wanted to say good luck! We will also be TTC closer to our wedding date. I'm thinking even a few months before. At least we will have something to focus our energy on after all the wedding planning is over lol.

We planned to begin TTC and it ended up also being the day he proposed. I had given up BC almost 6 months before. Began prenatals and tracking etc. It took us a year to get pregnant. I actually just announced the other day and will be 20 weeks at the wedding. Every tip and trick did nothing for us. It mafe it work and unfun. I left for vacation and came back to a guy that missed me and voila.

Good luck .. If you have trouble then try reducing stress and check your thyroid level

Good luck! We are not TTC (already have 2 girls) but I admire your determination. I was always a bit overboard / borderline obsessive when TTC I couldn't imagine wedding planning and TTC. I would be on overload. Don't wear yourself out!

Start prenatals now.

We weren't trying to conceive, but we did. I'll be 23 weeks on our wedding day. My only advice would be to keep it about being close and not make it work. Also, orgasm every time you have sex! I don't know if it's just a myth or not but the contraction of an orgasm is supposed to help sperm travel into your uterus. It's hard for me to orgasm from just sex and we conceived accidentally one of the few times I did.

I go off of BC in 8 weeks (2 more packs), and then from there we will be TTC. I am excited and scared a little. But we are looking forward to it...the babies (hopefully), an dthe trying part! (;

@kendra lol I will tell FH I have to orgasm each time, haha I'll see if he's up to the challenge.

@fiorella, I already have thyroid problems! I have been on meds for years for it and it's pretty much clockwork now. Hopefully it won't play too much into TTC :/

I actually heard that after you have sex it takes sperm about 10min. to travel up to where it's supposed to in order to fertilize an egg, so after sex don't move for awhile!

Other than that I have no advice that hasn't already been given. We are actually going to start TTC about a month before the wedding. We already have a son, but want 2 more babies back to back. I'll be 30 in June, so I figure right after I get married I might as well pop out our last 2 children before I get older and it gets harder.

We actually had a horrible miscarriage earlier this year. We had our 1st miscarriage back in 2009 ( I didn't even know I was pregnant until I miscarried and I was about 9weeks along )and one day I woke up really sick to my stomach and my BFF/roommate made me take a pregnancy test and that's how I found out, but I was spotting. So, FH and I ended up losing that baby. About 6 months later we conceived and had a gorgeous baby boy with a smooth pregnancy ( so thankful and blessed). So, after going through my miscarriages I'm a little nervous, but we really want more kids because it's amazing watching babies grow up and I like a full house. Quiet homes aren't for me, that's probably because I grew up with 3 siblings, so my home was always active and one of us were always driving our parents crazy (lol great memories!).

Good luck and I wish you healthy pregnancies and healthy babies!

My FH and I have been together for 5 1/2 years now and I haven't been on any birth control in over 3 years...we don't use protection either. With our wedding being 3 months away would it be a good idea to go to my ob/gyn now? I just had my yearly done a couple of months ago and I expressed my concerns to her. She said she would help and do everything she could before she'd refer me to a fertility specialist. But what can she do? Are there tests she can do or what?

@Future Mrs Booker - ask your doctor to check for uterine fibroids. A CT scan at least. I had very large fibroids for years and was unaware, and had to have surgery to have them removed. Many women don't discover their fibroids until they either have trouble conceiving or have miscarriages. Another thing is ask your doctor to check your thyroid (thyroid sonogram). That could also be something that affects fertility.

Wow. Reading all of these TTC comments is making me super anxious! I cant imagine having a child right now. BUT, all the more power to those of you who want or have!

My advice is to have fun! Don't stress out much while trying. We are going to start trying right after wedding but my goal is to have fun and not stress

DH & I were married 2 weeks ago and decided we would begin "casually" TTC in January. If it happens before then, great. If not, well, great! My biggest concern is that I'll have difficulty conceiving and will stress about it. I'm forcing myself to "casually" try. I'm already off BC (have been for over a year), and we'll just start having lots of unprotected sex. I'll start prenatals and hope for the best!

Fh and I started TTC over a year ago, he proposed in December. You've heard it all before but please do not stress over it. It will exhaust you and take all the fun out of it. FH was talking to a friend telling him we were TTC "well that's your problem then, you really can't try." Although it hasn't happened yet for us I still track my ovulation but don't document Everything like I use to. After the wedding (which is next year) if it hasn't happened we will both see doctors but until then I'm hoping nature will just take its course.

I've also tried all the "tricks". There are no tricks. Different sex positions, putting a pillow under you, holding your legs up after, the list goes on. That alone is exhausting. Wedding planning has now become my distraction.

We were casually TTC since around October or November. I had an app that told me when I was ovulating and blah blah blah, and it turned out my body doesnt work like that. I ovulate differently like, every month. So in January I said eff it, I am not paying attention to this anymore. I don't know exactly when it happened, but I am pretty sure it was one of those times I was being his private dancer. I will be 15 weeks tomorrow. Just have fun and relax, it usually happens when you arent thinking about it!

I just have a curious question.

If you were to conceive before the wedding are none of you concerned about you being too ill with morning sickness/too tired to party, you won't fit into your dress, you will not be able to properly host your guests? The reason I am asking is because we had to attend a hurried wedding because of an "oops pregnancy". The couple had planned an October wedding that suddenly had to be moved to April. She was 4 months along and there were several issues. She had to buy a second dress, she had to leave in the middle of the ceremony to throw up, she had to stop the ceremony and have a chair brought to her (mind you they did not tell the family why the wedding was so rushed but it became very obvious very quickly), she had to take a nap before the ceremony began which pushed everything back about 45 minutes, then the reception only lasted about an hour and a half because the bride had to go lay down again and when this happened everyone took that as a cue to leave. It was horrible.

Good luck to all of you trying to conceive. FH and I have decided we won't try until after we've been married a year. Our parents would prefer sooner rather than later (we're 31 and 34 without any kids so they definitely want grandbabies). Also I'm hypertensive so it adds an extra layer of concern.
