Doubts during TTW while TTC

[BookishEm]

Hello, new to mumsnet here so not sure how everything works just yet! Basically just wanted to see if what I’m feeling is normal.

DH (28) and I (26) have been ttc for 3 months. Not that long but every month I get really excited that this could be the month! I spend 2-3 really excited and thinking really positively. However once we get to the ttw I get doubts almost immediately and for a few days I’ll start to question myself. Could I be pregnant? If I am was this the right thing to do? Will I be a good mum? Am I ready to be completely changed by this forever? It’s so silly because then my period comes and I feel so disappointed and then automatically get excited again...
do you think these doubts are normal?

Definitely normal as much as it will be the best thing ever it also would bring alot of change. And people are unsure of change. I have three kids and trying with fiance for my 4th his first and always question everything but thats normal zz

LOL TTW instead of TWW... you can tell I’m new to this!

Thanks! That makes me feel reassured... didn’t want to confide in anyone irl in case they thought I wasn’t really happy about our “maybe baby” which of course I would be!

Its always easier to speak on here its great for that
We haven't told anyone were ttc
Just dont want the pressure.x

I wasn’t planning on telling anyone either and then caved and told my mum and my friend quite quickly 🙈

Sometimes support is good. Im just waiting till get nice positive then hoping few weeks in then tell x

Definitely! We have just started trying and I've just gone in to the TWW and just filled with doubt of can I do this, but I know as soon as AF turns up I will be disappointed!

At the end of the day I suppose that we are voluntarily changing our lives massively in to the scary and unknown. But it will be amazing when it happens!! Best of luck

@jabberbino thanks it’s so good to know someone feels the same! When are you planning to test?

I suspect it's partly because of hormones. I'm not even TTC yet but I notice leading up to and during ovulation my brain is screaming BABY NOW!! Post ovulation it settles down a lot. Good luck to you and hope you get that BFP soon

@BookishEM Planning to test on 26th - AF is due on 25th and I would love to try and wait to see if missed!
However I am not sure if I've got the willpower to hold out that long...

What about you?

I think that's perfectly normal. I had a slight panic last night. Imagining if its twins will we be able to afford it and where will the two cribs go and I cant have two next to me cribs and I'm gonna have to buy twice as many nappies 🤣
First cycle, just ovulated 🤷‍♀️
It's a massive commitment of course theres some nerves.

I'm due on 26th, going to wait until AF either comes or doesn't, I daren't do a test before then

Thanks everyone! I’m due the 27th but going to test 24th because I just can’t help myself 🙈😂
