I'm not sure how to word this so sorry in advance if it sounds like gobbety goop.

I'm so very very broody and have been for a while now, I'm not ttc though and am still taking my birth control. However, every time I feel nauseous or get a butterfly in my tummy or feel bloated etc my first thought is always am I pregnant. I overly obsess over the thought even though it would be highly unlikely that I was.
My question really is is this normal for people when they are broody? I don't really know who to talk to about it because I just feel a bit silly to be honest

I could of typing your OP. I am so incredibly broody and have been for 9? Ish months - I even did a pregnancy test a few months ago because although I'm on the implant I had no period (and also my friend found or she was pregnant and she had the implant)
I have cried over not being pregnant and another friend announcing their pregnancy....no advice but just to let you know your not alone!

I was like this before I got pregnant, for about 5 years probably. Now I am 37 weeks pregnant and have pretty much forgotten what it feels like to not be pregnant and have my entire torso taken up by another human being. I dream of my broody days. And this from a girl who cried on the way home from a baby shower because she wasnt pregnant yet (er despite not actually trying and despite having been on the pill a long time!). I would convince myself I was pregnant, despite there being no actual way I could be so. I'd say it's fairly normal, biology is a strong thing!

I am like this. Except I'm ttc. I think it's fairly normal!

I'm like this. It's agony. I'm in my probation period at work so sensibility it's going to be another 6 months before I can even ttc but my friend is being induced tomorrow and it's going to be hell!

I hate feeling so jealous of everyone else's pregnancys and childbirths.

I could have written this. It's worse since DH decided he doesn't want to ttc a 3rd baby. I know we're especially lucky to have our boys but it still hurts.

I got my coil out (due to bad reaction) and although we're being careful, I was always hopeful he would change his mind. I was obsessing over any twinge thinking I was pregnant. Had to give myself a really big shake.
