Officially Allowed To TTC

Aiden'sMom · July 2009

AF has come and gone, and I have waited the time period that the doctor said I needed to wait. I am so ready, yet so scared all at once. I remember the urge for it to happen right away. And then, the anticipation of that awful 'waiting time'. Then, the disappointed when a negative comes again and so does AF. It was easy to get pregnant with baby #1 and baby #2, but what if, things change with baby #3, or worse, the outcome turns out like the first two. I just need to quit thinking about things, and let them happen as they happen. Did anyone out there try without trying too hard, and just let it happen when it happens? God knows what He is doing, and when it's right, it will happen.

You all are in my prayers.

I try to look at it this way. I want a healthy baby. And all I can do is be healthy myself--physically, emotionally, financially. So while I am waiting, I work on things that would be more difficult to work on when I do have a child.

And I also look at it from the perspective that I am lucky to have a good husband and just to be healthy--I have never had to deal with a life-threatening disease--I was a success for my mother. I just want to have my own success with having my own child--I want to have that experience as well--so this is in God's timing--whether it comes naturally, or with medical help, or even adoption. I have a lot of love to give a child.

I'm right there with you. I've had two miscarriages in the past 6 months and I am terrified to try again. I don't know how to get through the next pregnancy without constant worry. But, like everyone says, our desire to have another baby is far greater than the stress/worry that comes with the possibility of another miscarraige. I think you just have to prepare yourself as best you can for all possible outsomes and know that you're doing everything in your power to have a healthy pregnancy and baby. I wish you the best of luck and a quick BFP!

Well, first off, congrats on getting the green light again. I have the green light but am giving myself another cycle to get mentally prepared. I keep thinking I hope I get pregnant right away, but on the other hand, I keep thinking, I don't want to get pregnant right away if my baby won't be healthy. When we start TTC again, I'm going to try to just take care of myself and my husband and pray that it only happens when everything is right.

just wanted to wish you GL TTC.

DS # 1 was a it just happened baby so we were not really trying. however i was charting b/c i had just come of BC and wanted to see if was O'ing. but the mont we got pg. i O'd early and didn't realize until after the fact. lol

DS # 2 it took us 3 cycles to get pg. w/ him. i was charting and using opk's for him. i think i like the whatever happens-happens approach much better.

Congrats on being able to ttc again! That's exciting...and terrifying. When we get the go-ahead to ttc, I think I may try charting for the first time. I had issues before and want to get pg asap so I want to be able to catch issues right away and move on to the RE if we need to. I'm really hoping for a very quick BFP though.

I think that if you decide to just go with the flow - more power to you! Like pps said, being healthy is important and could help. Good luck to you!
