One of the "nice" things about DI (I never thought I would use those two words in the same sentence) is that you don't have to worry about having an "oops, guess what" moment. You begin TTC when it best fits in to your family's schedule. Whether you are successful or not is another story but you can at least attempt of a certain window of time.
One of the bad things (of many) is that same ability to schedule can result in you analyzing every month, trying to guess what your life will be like in 10 months, and determining the optimal month(s).
We had originally talked about timing it so that we would have a spring '09 baby but now that I am seriously considering going back to school for my MBA, a spring baby would be born right in the middle of the program. After much discussion, we have decided it would be best to hold off until 2010. I know this is for the best but I secretly wish I could say "yes, we decided to wait but oops, guess what..."
I'll admit that I am worried that we won't get lucky twice and that every day that we wait is another opportunity lost. I'll be 34/35 if we wait until 2010 and will be in the dreaded "advanced maternal age" category. Are we adding an extra level of fertility difficulty by waiting that long?
Okay, who left the ticking clock in here?
