Hi all,
I'm new here, so I hope you won't all mind me jumping straight in with a problem thread! I really hope someone might be able to offer me some advice! Warning you may find some of this a bit tmi!
My husband and I have been WTT for quite some time now, been together almost 11 years, married for 3 and in that time have always been VERY careful with the whole baby avoidance techniques!
We've discussed it all a lot recently because after I hit the big 3-0 last year, with LOADS of people pregnant around me and starting to feel like my body clock is ticking I was becoming quite broody. Back in January we decided to start TTC after our holiday in May (ie... now!) so, I came off the pill in readiness and started taking folic acid etc. But when we went to go "bare back" for the first time (ever!) on our recent wedding anniversary, we both chickened out and used protection again
At the time, I felt ok about it, I know my husband takes some time to get used to new situations. I know that he feels like a baby will completely change our lives (which of course it will, but not so that it's the end of the world as we know it!!) but I really thought he was ready. I really thought I was ready and yet here we are, still yet to start TTC.
The whole idea of TTC now fills me with angst and I'm scared! It's just not normal for us to not use protection, the whole idea seems wrong!! Yet how can something so right be so wrong?!
I had a cuddle with an 8 week old baby today and got all broody again and I'm sure this is what I want, but I'm also absolutely terrified!!
Please tell me this is normal? Does anyone else have similar issues with starting to TTC? I need to talk to my husband about it, but I'm scared he'll say he's changed his mind about the whole thing
