Does anyone else find it sadly ironic...

in TTC After a Loss

...that so much time and energy has been spent in the past trying to prevent pg?  It's hard to recall how a late period made me feel worried and anxious instead of excited and hopeful!  Has anyone else ever thought about this or felt this way before?

    I have totally felt that way.  I was on the pill for 5 years.  I remember a few times having my period come a little late and I would take an HPT and be sooo relieved it was negative.  How things change...

    I think about that a lot. I feel like I wasted a lot of money on the pills/nuvaring. Who knew??

    Yes.  I wish we hadn't waited so long to TTC now.  I feel like I wasted so much time and energy trying to prevent something that doesn't happen easily for me.

    Yes.  It is also ironic to me how much we have planned for this.  We have saved and saved and are fully prepared for a baby and yet here we are.

    Yes, this has crossed my mind and I just shake my head saying, "if I only knew then..."

    O Man I totally agree! I have been with my DH for 9 years (married for one!) That is a LOT of potential babies!

    When I think of all the money I spent on BCP, and all the worries of getting pregnant on accident, it drives me crazy!!!?

    Especially since I apparently had NO problems getting pregnant at 18!  I had no problems getting pregnant when I wasn't ready for it. However, the miscarriage I had at 24 saved my life. I found out I had ovarian cancer. So I guess for me it's bittersweet.  But my doctors said that they looped me up to have more kids and I should be able to...NOW I WANT ONE DANGIT!

    I think about that all the time.

    I also wonder, once we have one, if I will go back on BCP, or just say "whatever happens, happens" because I don't want to wait until we're ready, and then have to wait for it to happen again...

    Tell me about it.  Was on the pill from the time I was 18 until I was 36.  That's half of my life on birth control pills - 18 years trying not to get PG.  Then when the timing is right, finding myself here.  If only I had known things are not so easy.  Nothing comes easy for those who do things right it seems.

    Yes completely! I remember being so worried the whole time we were engaged that something would happen...not sure why I didn't worry more before then, but maybe it was about fitting into my wedding dress.
