When to plan a pregnancy

[Chrissy82]

Hello, I am looking for some advice..

I did not make it into the ADN program for next year and I am waiting to be admitted to my nursing program in fall 2006..I have completed all my pre-requisite courses and I have locked in my admission.

My husband have been married 3 years and were planning to wait until I finished nursing school to have our first child, but now with this entire next year free...I am having conflicting thoughts about which would be better...getting pregnant now while i'm waiting and having a few months to adjust before I go back to school...or waiting another agonizing 3 years to start our family. If I wait i'm wondering if it might be harder to go through a first pregnancy and adjust to a new baby when i'm just starting my career? I'm just afraid of struggling, I know that school will be demanding..and I don't want to miss out on those precious moments, but is it doable..and is this a choice someone should knowingly make? Please help

Karen, do you chart on FF? I just started over there and you name sounds familiar...

I don't but I know lots of people that do, it's a great site. Our problems are beyond simple charting and timed BMS though. I start injections on 9/6 and will know by the end of September/1st of October if we were successful.

On thing is for sure, I will be well-versed in both sub-q and IM injections once this is over. :chuckle

Yes, temping alone isn't helping me either. It's cool to know though! I see IUI in my future, and I just hope it works so that I never have to do IVF! You never know though....
