Hello all! I'm new to the forum, been doing a bit of lurking on the threads today and just wanted to get some things off my chest and see if anyone has any advice for me!
I'm 26, DH is 27. We have a really great relationship with each other. One of the only frustrating things going on right now, though, is that I cannot wait to get pregnant and start a family; I feel like raising kids is what I was born to do, and he just simply isn't ready, though he does want kids. He wants us to be in a better financial situation and also to have some time to ourselves, which is totally understandable, but I just can't kick this baby fever! When I said I didn't want to wait a year, though, he was thankfully on board (this was last month that we talked about it).
We aren't trying, but we aren't "not trying", though he is quite in tune with my cycle and pulls out during my fertile times. I still hope that every cycle though that I will be pregnant. I look for symptoms, which is frustrating for me, because pretty much all my PMS symptoms mimic preggo symptoms (sore and enlarged bbs, cramps, super hungry, cravings, even darker areolas sometimes), so I try to tell myself not to look so hard for them, but it's hopeless; I still try to find new things happening with my body to convince myself that it's finally happening. I've POAS so many times. I feel so obsessed and crazy some months (last month was the worst thus far). Right now I'm late and just took a test that didn't even show the control line (a dud test) which I'm taking as a sign to calm down.
Anyone else frustrated and baby crazy? I just want a little one so bad! How do I cope?
