We took over 3 years TTC, so learned lots of positives!

I doubled my income in that time because I was able to develop my skills and got promoted - twice!

We're in a much better financial position now than we were when we started TTC.

I started my Masters (initially for something to do whilst being a SAHM). I then FINISHED my Masters (because it too so long to concieve!)

We planned our wedding and then got married during that time!

We had lots of long weekends away, just the two of us, which we're unlikely to do again anytime soon!

I made lots of friends in BB LTTTC threads which I wouldn't have otherwise done.

Oh, and when it happens, you appreciate every minute.

We were also much more emotionally prepared for a baby because we'd had so long to think about it - including our ideas on parenting, natural birth, etc etc.

GL girls.
