BFN :(

I thought we were going to be one and done.  I had a really tough ride with PPD and L is a handful...a handful I love to pieces...but a handful, still.  Then this month I would've bet my life I was pregnant again.  I had every symptom I remember from last time.  Totally bizarre.  At first I was freaked out.  A few days passed and I started to like the idea.  I felt calm and really happy.  I honestly was certain I was knocked up....Then last night I had a dream I wasn't and what do you know....AF shows up today.  And I'm really pissy!!!

First of all I feel like a nut that I had myself so convinced of something that wasn't true.  Secondly, does this mean I'm ready to start TTC for real?!  Ugh....I'm 37 so there's no time to waste!!

I'm sorry.  I know how that feels.  That happened to me when DS1 was a little over a year old.  I was scared and sad at the same time.  Even this month I was thinking maybe I was preg (even on the pill) and was almost sad when it came up negative.

I say if you think you may want more--then let nature take it's course---and if it happens it happens.  If you don't want one--then you need to take some action on that.

I know how you feel-I'll be 36 in a couple months and time is a ticking if we do want more.

I think I would act the same way... Feel scared but ponder the thought of #2 at the same time. I'm sorry. If theres an ounce of hope that you want another, I say get to it

This is my scenario! exactly!! I was late last month by 2 weeks and got soo excited we don't want another till she is 3 but i got so excited and my period comes. IF you are mentally and physically ready go for it sounds like you are ready just like me!

This is when I knew I was ready.

It was a slow progession of things, like, I was disappointed I got my period.  Then it was...thinking how I would be able to handle a busy/active 2.5yo and a newborn - A WRAP!  Then it was...me picturing DS as a very good big brother...and then after I had a passing in the family, it solidified a name for our future LO.  It all came to me after than, that I was mentally ready for another.

DH and I go back and forth on the readiness of bringing a LO into the world though.  I think after the holidays are over, it will be great to start trying...but DH is a little hesitant due to the instability of his job.
