Taking the plunge and ttc

I'm not really sure what the point of starting this thread is but it's not the sort of thing I can/ want to talk to RL people about! Basically we have decided to ttc again (dd almost 3 and mc in Oct)and it feels strange. I have been trying to 'persuade' dh for ages (with no pressue though!)and he has said he now feels ready but the reality of it feels very strange.

THere are so many things going round in my head...what if I have another m/c and how I would cope with it (don't think I could tbh)... my cycle is irregular and long (anything from 35-45 days) so will it be difficult to conceive- although dd and mc were unexpected- and I suppose the reality of how another baby will impact on us as a family and how difficult it will be to cope. We're going on holiday in March and I'm also stressing about what will happen if I get pg before then and I have another mc when I'm there.

I'm aware that this is a rambling mess but I hope it makes sense. Well done if you have reached the end of it and if you have any wise words of wisdom or experience please share them!

OMG, I don't know what happened there! Nothing happened whenever I clicked create new conversation and when it finally appeared there were a gazillion of them!

Oh bless you! I think your worries are totally normal, but try not to stress. What will be will be.....

I ahve a ds who is 4 and I m/c in April 2006, have not started ttc again due to similar worries, but then I worry about having an only child!

We're nuts aren't we?

Good luck with the ttc though.

Thanks both of you. YOu knwo that these thoughts ARE logical and that they ARE stupid but you still have them. Crazy I know! It has just reached the stage where I don't want to wait much longer and have too big an age gap (although I also worry about having an only child) but am still having all these uncertainties and insecurities but I do think the time is right now.
NOrtherner, you are absolutely right abour everythig. There is no point in thinking about it too much because it won't change anything.

can i just say...for what its worth!.....that there is never a right time to do anything is there? ......if you waited until the perfect time to have no. 2 it would never happen. we went with the idea that i KNEW i didnt want an only child so we might as well just go for it and deal with any problems if they happened! trouble is.....now i want no.3!.....and its not happening....but thats another story!

Hey

DP and i have been ttc for 6 months. We're what you would call young, 20 and 19 but more like 30 + 29, lol. We had talked about it for a while and when we started trying, it was weird, like kinda un-real tbh! Now we've been thru so many BFN's and upset, we realise how right it is for us! Think it takes the negatives to show how positive it could be!

Good luck
