POLL: Who are we?

filed under: numbers, research

Survey

Curious about how many of us are in the Thinking, Trying or Mom stages? Here are the results of a recently closed Choice Mom survey.

To the question, what stage of the journey are you in right now?

  • 29% actively trying to conceive
  • 28% thinking of taking this step
  • 21% currently pregnant or awaiting adoption
  • 21% already a Choice Mom

Previous poll results
For the question: "If you could hit the re-set button, what would you do differently?"

  • Most of us have no regrets about how life is working out in the particular ways cited in the poll
  • But one-quarter wished they had stopping Thinking as long as they did and become a Tryer sooner
  • Nearly as many wished they had ended a relationship earlier and not wasted their fertility time
  • A handful think they might have been able to make it work with a particular someone and in hindsight wished they'd started a family then

I'm a mom to almost 2-year old twins. I tried for about 8 months after "thinking" for about 5 minutes.
