I'm new to this board and would love to get to know you better. So here is my GTKYB question:

Is there a specific reason why you are WTTC? Something you want to achieve first? A financial situation? DH? Is it work related? When do you think you will go from WTTC to TTC?

I am waiting for:
1) my cycles to come back. We have a 6 month old and I am still bfeeding. I know it can take long before I am fertile again, but one can hope it comes back soon!
2) I'm going back to work in October. I don't know how I would feel (and how my boss would feel) if I came back only to leave again a few months later.

So basically, I think I'll wait until January 2013 to TTC again and hope to be fertile by then.

We will start TTC this December, right now we are waiting because I am doing my student teaching next semester and then I would like a few months at least to spend with Dd again before the next baby comes.

We are waiting because we just had a loss, and I want to do a few more things to be prepared to try again. We are hoping to start ttc again in April or May!

We are waiting because I just had a baby (8 weeks old TODAY) and I had a C-Section. I wanted to back to back my kids since I feel like I'm in crunch time (I'll be 31 in 2 months and we just had our 1st we'd like 2-3 more) Judging from my last pregnancy I'm not sure I could handle being pregnant after say 35 or so. I am also trying to get our living situation more under control. Right now we are in a 1 bedroom with myself, DF, my 8 week old and our 90 lb dog & a kitty... it's cramped lol

Nice to meet you! DF and I are waiting to get married and/or buy a house, which could take a few years. I am ready to start trying next August (I will be 25), but am willing to wait until I'm 27. We want two kids, and I want to have my last one before 35.

We are waiting / trying to figure out if we will have more. My husband isn't sure he wants more children. If we do try I think we will wait till our youngest is 2. She will turn 2 in January.

We have quite a few reasons we are waiting: First we aren't completely sure we will TTC another so we need to make up our minds and because I want my son to closer to 2 before we make that decision. I would also like our dept to be paid off, have a van, our spare room HAS to be finished (which it was supposed to have been last summer lol).

We're waiting for a few reasons. First, we just moved into a new house and we want to get settled and do some upgrading around the house. Second, we both just started new jobs, so we want to get settled there. Third, we want to wait until the girls are just a bit older. And fourth, we've already had 4 losses (3 before the girls, 1 after), I need to be ready to emotionally and physically deal with the fact that number 3 might not happen quickly (as ready as one can be at least).

Our only serious reason for waiting is sibling spacing. While waiting I'd like to drop some weight, improve the house a little, and buy bunkbeds for the girls.
