Baby worries! Anyone share same thoughts?

[glowworm00]

I'm 26 and my OH is 36 we have been together almost 10 years and have decided that when we are on holiday in Aruba in august we are going to start to try for a baby! I have never been baby minded and a few weeks ago something clicked inside and we now both really want one! I came off the pill (microgynon 30) a few weeks ago and am waiting for my first real bleed! I also went for a smear test last Tuesday to make sure that everything in that department was ok!
Thing is as children have never before concerned me and now I am the complete opposite and really want one I am worried for some unknown reason that I wont be able to get pregnant! My mum thinks I'm going mad but that's how I feel!
Is anyone else in the same boat? X

Funny how our minds screw with us, huh? I think most of us here are scared we might not be able to get pregnant... though we all have our own reasons for it, I guess. I just went off BCP, too, and I'm sort of terrified that my body won't ever re-learn how to ovulate and just be... normal.

I guess it'll take your BFP coming up soon to prove your silly mind wrong!

I feel exactly the same - up until we were both ready for a baby I kind of assumed we'd both be able to have children. Now we have both decided we are ready my mind is going nuts with what if's - what if we can't get pregnant? what if there's a problem with me? if there's a problem with me will OH leave? am I reducing our chances in any way?

It's crazy.

I'm glad you feel the same! I did only think it was me! I get so excites when I think about becoming a mum then worried about things and all the what ifs!

I really could have written this myself! lol I am 26 hubby is 35 (will be 36 soon) we have been together 9 years and it hit us a few weeks ago that we really wanted a baby! So I also came off the pill (microgynan) and I am too waiting for my first period! i have had my pill one but still no real one! so im waiting for my first real one or to be pregnant! And all I can think about is if I can get pregnant or not!

I have been trying these last few days to stop freaking out, but all that keeps going through my head is, i want to be pregnant! So i am sooooo in the same boat!

have you had ur pill bleed? xxx

 

[kimberly17]

I have thought like that too. It almost as if having a baby is equivalant to winning the nobel prize or something. Sometimes it just feels so soo far out of reach, the feeling of "it will never happen to me".
I have to remind myself that having a baby is a totally natural process, and if you go thru puberty, then you can have a baby. If you can catch the common cold, you can catch that If you can fall in love and get married, then you will have your own LO to love.
I am glad to know that I am not alone in this.

and i've just seen that you like in the west midlands? i live in Leicester xxx

 

[glowworm00]

No i havnt had my first true bleed yet! We are trying whilst on holiday in August as dont want to get pregnant until periods are back to normal and hormones are too! also i wouldnt want to be that far away from home and pregnant incase anything happened! x

 

[berry26]

How long have you been off the pill? I stopped taking it on 20th May. All this waiting around is very frustrating! we are ttc straight away xxx

 

[Maidenet]

Yup..... im 27 my partner is 33. I cant stop thinking about it, and I have to try and not think its never going to happen. Im sure I actually convince myself other wise though xxx

 

[glowworm00]

I stopped taking it Tuesday 24th May! Had my withdrawal bleed Sunday 29th May which lasted until the following Thursday! x

 

[berry26]

I had my withdrawal bleed from 23rd to the 25th may. and i have been told that you should get your normal period back anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks after! so its been just over 3 weeks for me, and not a hint! but then we have been doing the BD! so we will see who comes first! pregnancy or period!

I have no idea about cycle length or anything yet! i never knew all this ttc stuff! its alot to get your head around!

 

[glowworm00]

it is indeed! We have also started to save for the baby already as the are very expensive! x

 

[berry26]

Yup I have started to put money away lol

 

[glowworm00]

Im glad that your in the same boat! I thought it was a case of just me thinking these things! x

 

[berry26]

It's ok you not mad or alone lol I am too! Hubby already thinks I am mad and this is just the beginning! x

 

[glowworm00]

Lol! wait until you start buying! Thats when the fun starts x

 

[berry26]

Ha then he will really think I have gone mad, I can just hear him saying, 'what do you need this for?' 'erm how many of these do you need'! x

 

[glowworm00]

Its all part of the fun! I just keep worrying what if i cant get pregnant! Have you worked out when you ovulate and that or are you just doing it wherever and whenever! x

 

[berry26]

It is! I have been using ovulation tests and I think I ovulated on 8th June, I have been trying to track my cycle so far (but i only have my withdrawal bleed to go from, so im not sure how right it can be, if you know what i mean) im not temping or anything, but i am taking a multi vit! and we have been doing the BD about every other day, give or take a few days here and there! lol

Have you heard of the sperm meets egg plan? we have kinda been trying that x
