Conflicted about TTC

We are planning to start TTC this month.

Half of me is super excited. The other half really wants to wait and enjoy freedom a bit longer. I flip back and forth every other hour.

I don't feel fully ready. I guess you can never really feel entirely ready since it will be such a huge change. I've never felt so indecisive in my life.

Anyone else conflicted/scared?

I was thinking we could just "not stop pregnancy" and see what happens but I think that is the same as TTC.

My husband is supportive and said I could decide if we try or wait this month.

Re: Conflicted about TTC

I had very similar feelings and debated back and forth about when to start. And to be honest, I even had some mixed feelings the first 2 months.

It is very tough because you have to be "prepared" that you may become pregnant the first month, or it may take many more months.

Ultimately, I am happy that I started when I did. I think for me, I knew that I was going to be "ready" within the next few months so I decided to just go for it.

I am right there with you. Chat Icon

It is scary to think about the future and how different life will be. DH and I were very unsure about when the right time would be until just recently. I am still getting used to the idea. I love how great our relationship is now and the freedom we have to go and come as we please.

However, I feel that with a child in your life things inevitabley change but I think for the better. I get emotional just thinking about what a great father DH will be and how much love we will give this child but also how that will only make our bond stronger.

It's okay to have mixed emotions. I think it's one of those things that you may never be fully ready for. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I am ALREADY a mother and still have days where I am like, how am I doing this? I know that I would have never felt 100% ready and still have my moments where I miss my freedom but I would never trade my DD for it!Chat Icon

Re: Conflicted about TTC

It was definitely a scary decision, but the longer this takes, the more I really know I want this. For us, it started as throwing caution to the wind, then turned into really paying attention to fertile days, to buying OPKs, to buying digital OPKs.


Some peeps get PG the 1st time, but I say start trying anyway.

Re: Conflicted about TTC

I was there. Still am a little bit. I think about the different lifestyle DH and I will embark upon after having a baby but I have come to terms with it being completely worth it. It is normal to think things through and enter this as ready as possible. I'd rather have overthought the whole thing than not have thought about it enough.

Good Luck!!! Chat Icon
