I just wonder should I stop TTC. I want another baby and I know my husband wants another baby. My kids are even excited about another baby. But at times I get really scared and think I don't want to. Then I do want to. Are my feelings too wishy washy. Last night talking to my cousin, we were both excited about being able to ttc again. Then today, I am totally terrified thinking about it all.
Am I crazy?

I think we all feel like that sometimes. Just try and not let TTC take over your whole life its not a good thing lol trust me i know. Just try and relax and have fun with it and it makes things so much eaiser. I really want another baby too, but right now is just not the time for us. We are moving in April and i can't be due then, and we need to get everything worked out first. Then some days i dont' want another one at all. So we all go through it, just do what your heart tells you! Good luck girl.

I definitely have mixed emotions about TTC again, especially with ds turning 11 in a couple months
I would just go with your gut instinct, even if it's scary sometimes, and know that you're not alone!

You're definitely not alone! Like the other ladies said, follow your heart, and maybe you shouldn't chart, temp, etc. and you won't feel overwhelmed by it (if that's the case). Just a thought. Good luck hun!

I know EXACTLY what you mean about being wishy washy.
We are in a difficult situation. We want to be pregnant but the thought of loosing again is scary.
We are all right there with you.

Thanks so much. I feel much better knowing that I am not the only one feeling like this.
Erika, I am charting my temp. But I have decided this cycle to not check my cervix. I think that drove me more crazy because my cervix was high an hour before AF arrived. So I am just temping and that is it. I promise!

You're not crazy! You're normal! Sometimes I feel consumed with TTCing and I wonder if I'm crazy!
I have decided that I need a project that I can control (unlike TTC). Now I just have to figure out what that is! Any ideas?

No of course your not crazy. Just like the other ladies have said, I think we all feel that way at times. I want a baby more than anything and then there are times that I feel like I don't. I think it's normal especially when you are so focused on ttc and wanting something sooo badly. I think if you just temp and make sure you are ovulating and get an idea when you are and that you lp and everything is normal, will help tremendously. I hope that you get your BFP soon. I'm crossing my fingers and toes for ya.

I think that the thing that is so scary is while it feel like you have a little bit of control during TTC (you can temp, you can time bd right, etc), you don't have ANY control once you become pregnant. It's all out of your hands and that's very frightening.
 Like the others said it's normal. Especially after you've had a loss. Good luck honey and lots of  to you!

I totally agree with the rest of the ladies. It's really hard to be in control of TTC but lose all control once pregnant especially after loss. This is my first cycle of trying again, so I'm right there with you girl.
