Truth, I'm scared to TTC

in Trying to Get Pregnant
My husband and I decided to officially start trying to get pregnant last week. I have been excited thinking of all the possibilities and have been researching all the tips and charts. I have always wanted to be a mother! I have been a nanny for a long time and I am ready to have my own. Thing is I am scared to actually start trying. I mean There should have been many times in the past I should have gotten pregnant and was always let down with the BFN. I am scared I can't get pregnant. I don't know where i got the fear from and I usually totally ignore it but it worries me. I am not trying to start anything with people that know for sure they can't because my heart really goes out to you but i just needed to vent somewhere. Does anybody else have this fear? Is this normal? Did anyone have it and it ended up being true or they ended up getting pregnant?

    I definitely have the same fears as you! But like PP have said, look into charting with Fertility Friend. You can sign up/check it out through my ticker with the fishy. Arming yourself with the knowledge about your body will really help you feel more in control. Good luck!

    I feel and have felt this way since I was younger.  I've never ttc until now (well in a month or so) but I have always had this feeling I can't have children.  And too, i know it's just a feeling and i too am sorry for those who are having troubles.  But i do share this feeling with you and it scares me a lot.  GL!!!

    Thank you I feel better knowing it is normal to feel this way! I am def going to do all I can to learn my body! I signed up for FF but cant find their tickers for conceiving only for pregnancy.

    I still have those fears. My sister has had alot of problems with TTC and has tried for years. She has a problem with not ovulating, PCOS and much more. I always wonder if maybe I have that too. However, my cycles are nothing like hers but it still makes me wonder. There is no way of knowing without trying!

    Nope it completely natural, I have the fear and I was talking to my BFF and she said she had the same fears when they were TTC. They started trying and were pregnant 3 cycles in. But it does worry me because its something you have no control over.

    I have always had the fear, and when I spoke of one day having children it was always caveated with 'if I am lucky enough to be able to'.

    That said, as the other ladies have suggested, charting is great because it helps you confirm if you ovulated and understand about your cycle - that should dispel some of your fears.

     We are all going through the same thing :) Good luck!

    I was plagued by this fear, too. Even now, I sometimes worry that my DD was a fluke and I will have secondary infertility. TTC is just a scary uncertain state to be in!

    I have always had this fear too, and I've been lucky enough for it to be unfounded so far.  With my first, I thought it would take awhile because I was on BCP for like 10 years.  I got pregnant with # 1 on my second cycle.  When I was BFing, my cycles were irregular while we tried for # 2.  As soon as I stopped nursing, I was pregnant on the second cycle.  This time for # 3 I keep feeling like I won't be as lucky.  I don't think that fear ever goes away!

    I'm afraid of this too.  I've literally never had a normal cycle off of BCP so I'm worried about not being able to concieve. I just started charting w/ temps, and I think I'll feel a lot better after a confirmed O on FF.

     It's something so unknow and out of my control that I do worry about it. But I worry about a lot of random stuff too.

     My first concern is what if H and I can't get pregnant, then what if I get bad morning sickness and thrown up on my commute and at work (I take public transportation).
