Upset about not being pregnant but not TTC!

So…

I have a 2 year old son and we are not actively ttc. The topic of when to try for another baby has been the topic of coversation a few times in the last few months but dh can’t decide how he feels about it and keeps making it further away any time we discuss it.

This month I experienced a lot of the same symptoms I had in my early pregnancy with ds. I have been through a rollercoaster of emotions but today AF arrived and I am so upset and disappointed. I didn’t tell dh about the symptoms etc as didn’t want to make a deal of it until I knew what was happening.

The point of this is to ask if anyone else has experienced this wave of upset and emotion even though they aren’t actively trying? Is it just due to the fact that I was thinking about it or is this a sign that I really want it now?

I feel so stupid for being so upset about something that wasn’t even real and we are not planting anyway.

Aw@BubbleBathLover couldn’t read and not post something.
Your absolutely not being stupid! Before hubby & me were TTC I had a moment when I thought I might have been expecting again- both of us were genuinely gutted when it turned out to be a false alarm. Maybe it is a sign your ready to start TTC again?

Its such an awkward time trying to decide if/when to try for no 2- everyone has their own opinion on what age gap is best and then there’s the uncertainty about how long you’ll take to conceive. I’d maybe sit down with hubby and let him know how your feeling?

Totally understand. I'm taking a pill every day but also feel a bit sad that I'm not pregnant! Very strange!

How old are you OP? I had this when I wasn’t ttc as well - think it means you really want another baby. Have you every discussed family size?
