Over worrier - Fertility

Hello!

Just looking for anyone else who was convinced there would be issues with fertility before TTC. It's something I've always worried about, and there's no indication to say that me or my partner will have any problems when we come to trying at the end of the year, but it still terrifies me. I've wanted to be a mum for as long as I can remember and my worst fear is that I finally get given the green light and can't have babies. Did anyone else have this worry? I know it's silly but I genuinely get scared! Shock

If you're both in your 20s and lead a healthy lifestyle the odds are definitely in your favour. The older you get then legitimately you have reasons to be more worried...

I'm the opposite - didn't worry at all - assumed nothing was wrong and we'd get pregnant as easily as everyone else seems to - 5 miscarriages and 2 ectopics later im permanently infertile and still struggling to comprehend how we've got here!

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted oh my goodness, I'm so sorry😔 I hope via some route you are able to have the miracle you deserve♥️

My partner and I are both early 20s, my worry is that he is type 1 diabetic so praying it doesn't cause any problems for us. Only time will tell xx

Hi op! I'm an over worrier too! I was convinced I couldn't have children too, but with baby 1 we conceived in 9 months, and just started ttc baby 2 after a chemical last cycle! You won't know until you try! Baby dust to you!
So so sorry lovelydream! Flowers xx

I was absolutely the same as you. Just had a feeling I would struggle.
However, I got pregnant on 5th cycle of ttc! Hope it happens quickly for you Smile

Exactly the same as you. Had an irrational fear that because I'd always wanted children very badly, it wouldn't come easily. Also messed up the pill quote a lot in my early twenties and never got caught out (very lucky obviously but did make me wonder if I was infertile).

Needn't have worried, got pregnant straightaway every time!

@Nicecupofcoco @tessiegirl @ICouldntHelpButWonder you girls have made me feel so much better. It's amazing how much of a relief it is just by knowing people feel the same as I do! I even worried it wasn't normal to be worried about this so i must subconsciously know something was wrong. It's so silly what we can cook up in our brainsGrin really appreciate all the comments, thank you all for being so lovely xxx
