Fears about TTC after struggling last time

We have 2 dds. Dd1 was conceived naturally after 9m of TTC; Dd2 took 2 years and 6 cycles of Clomid. I realise that 9m is normal and I remember thinking second time it probably would happen sooner. Anyway, it took much longer and we were diagnosed with unexplained infertility.

My youngest is 3yo now and I've been undecided about whether to try for another baby since early last year, for various reasons. However, I think I do want another baby (another would be our last) but it has recently occurred to me that I am actually fearful of really wanting another baby, and it not happening. I think to an extent I have been trying to put myself off wanting another little bundle.

I would only give us a year of trying this time (children's age gaps and not wanting to be pg after age 35. Am 33 now). I wouldn't have fertility treatment again, so it's not like it would be an indefinite struggle. If it didn't happen, I know we have our 2 dds and at least we tried for a dc3.

Sorry for the ramble, but can anyone else relate to these feelings? I would have posted in Infertility, but as I haven't even ttc again and this is a question about a third baby, I thought it would be insensitive to post there.

TIA

Hi, I dont really have advice as im still ttc #1 and on cycle 16, I think if I were in your position though I would give it a go but try and just go with the attitude of what will be, will be. Easier said than done though with ttc! You never know though, you may conceive quickly this time x
