Does anyone get nervous/anxious...

Whether you chart/temp or if you are winging it by counting to day 10 (like me)... do you ever get nervous or anxious that it just wont happen? I havent been trying long enough to really worry about a physiological issue, but in the back of my head I feel a little despair the closer I get to BDing. I shouldnt give up before I start! Just curious to know if I am the only one who feels this way.

Re: Does anyone get nervous/anxious...

I felt this way. I was prepared to TTC for a long time, but miraculously got my BFP first try.

Re: Does anyone get nervous/anxious...

I DEFINITELY feel this way. I just have a gut feeling that I am going to have infertility issues. I have only been TTC since feb. and cannot get a handle on my cycle. I guess time will tell for us all. Nothing has ever come very easy in my life though, so why should this? is my thinking...I know I need to be more positive about it........

But I wish us all tone of baby dust!

Re: Does anyone get nervous/anxious...

Its weird. None of the women in my family have had issues with fertility. Their issues were with maintaining healthy pregnancies and birth defects. There really is no reason for me to be worried right now but I just am.

Re: Does anyone get nervous/anxious...

well my mom popped out six kids, only tried for one of them so, there are no fertility issues with her, LOL ! Hoever, in my family history there are lots of female type issues, and I have other issues on top of those. I think maybe if I had started at 19 like my mom would all be fine, but starting at 30 is a whole other experience.
I am sure you will be fine, we are just experiencing "want to be pregnant now" syndrome!

Re: Does anyone get nervous/anxious...

I definately get nervous. DH keeps wanting to make all these plans to travel here, travel there... do this, or do that, and I keep telling him, if he's serious about starting a family this winter, we have to think realisically and practically. I'm not talking about trips to Florida, or typical vacations, but he's thinking up all these exotic type places that wouldn't be comfortable for a pregnant lady. I tell him we can be lucky and get preggers on the first try, or not. It can take a a month, 6 months, a year...etc... He forgets sometimes that our age can be a factor in how long it takes us to get preggers.

Re: Does anyone get nervous/anxious...

Yes- my mom had multiple miscarriages, though after all those she went on to have three healthy babies. But she was also done by age 30, whereas I am 34 and haven't had any yet.

Re: Does anyone get nervous/anxious...

i don't chart....i don't plan to ever "chart"

yea it does make me a little nervous

and i may even change my mind in the future

but i guess for now...i am ok with my decision

Re: Does anyone get nervous/anxious...

I absolutely feel this way. I always get so nervous that there is something wrong with me or DH that we will not be able to conceive. It is my worst fear.

Check this out. My sister handed me this today. Check out the hair on this chick. It is from 1987:

Re: Does anyone get nervous/anxious...

Yes. No one in my family has ever had any issues with getting PG or with anything else. My mother got PG pretty easily and I figured it would be the same for me. However, having just come off BCP (which she never took), I am finding it a lot harder than I thought.

Re: Does anyone get nervous/anxious...

I am always nervous in general but ttc is really a process.
I don't chart, just use the Clearlue easy digital monitor and I also used the fertility predictor for americanbaby.com . ( it worked)
Now that I had the m/c my anxiety is a lttle higher but I know that I need to try to keep it in check.
My Dr. said if I am too stressed out I will not be able to conceive.
This is a huge & exciting time in our lives so I think its completely ok to feel a little nervous.
