Are these reasons not to TTC just now?

[lee09]

Hi all

Would appreciate your honest thoughts/feelings on my situation as I try to find some clarity in my thoughts...

We've always planned to start TTC for number two about now. But our life is in a state of upheaval at the moment and I'm wondering whether to postpone TTC - even though it breaks my heart and makes me feel sick, because I don't like the idea of letting things "get in the way" of having a baby (perhaps the baby I was always meant to have).

But here are our issues:

The big one - where we live. I'm not happy where we are and we are looking at moving, but who knows how long that will take? And then there's a brand new (and significant) financial pressure of a mortgage to think about. But then I don't think I can/want to be pregnant here, let alone bring the baby home here. And I get so anxious - I don't want to feel sad and stressed, when pregnancy should be a happy time.

I have been offered a new job. The money is good and it's something I've always wanted to do - do I intentionally set out to fall pregnant before I've even started the role? What if I get really sick and it affects my performance?

DH has been offered a second job, which will help with money but will be an added pressure while we try to figure out how to juggle it all. I'm sure in a few more months we'll be into a better routine.

Are these reasons to put off TTC? Or is there never a "right time" to have a baby, and I should just move ahead with plans to try soon?

Would love your opinions, maybe looking at it from different view points will help me figure out my own feelings.

Thank you.
