the what ifs?

We are going to TTC starting in December and I am already driving myself crazy with the "what if I can't have a child"  For some reason I have always had that thought in the back of my mind.

I am 28 DH is 26. We dont smoke or drink and we have been eatign better and gettign abck in shape the last few months.  We have lost weigh but are still both overweight.

 Are there statistics on how common or uncommon infertility is?  I think it is similar to how you feel in the two week wait...you just don't know.  Maybe my crazy fears will be calmed when I start temping and charting so hopefully I can see that I do ovulate.

 

Just another crazy obsession from a women TTC.....

Being overweight does not equal infertility. Do you have reasons to think that you will have trouble TTC? If not, I would suggest getting a hobby to occupy your time so you don't dwell on TTC.

If you spend your life thinking about all of the what ifs, you are seriously going to drive yourself crazy.  And looking up statistics for infertility when you haven't even started TTC is one foot on the crazy train.

Try not to stress yourself out without a reason. Being overweight does not mean that you are going to have trouble getting pregnant, don't worry until you need to.

I completely agree.  You will just cause yourself to stress.

I'm overweight and I got pregnant and had a perfectly healthy pregnancy (no GD or anything).  The only problem I had was finding cute maternity clothing.

There's no exact calculation you can do.

When I got pregnant with my son I was 220lbs, I was down 50lbs from that when we started TTC #2 and I've had two miscarriages since then.

Don't get worked up about the 'what ifs' and just try to enjoy the experience.

I agree with the PP, don't focus on the "what ifs" , you will always have them, and stress can affect your cycles so its best for right now just to wait it out and see

Just another crazy obsession from a women TTC.....

I can totally relate to this post. I'm normally a very calm and rational person. I don't worry about dying or getting cancer, because I realize that these things are mostly out of my control. I do however have this sick intense feeling that I will never be able to get pregnant. I think about it a lot and obsess over my chart - worrying that I didn't REALLY ovulate

 .... maybe that's a sign that we just want it so badly? Or maybe this is the first thing in our lives that we haven't been able to control the outcome?

 I don't have any advice.. just wanted to let you know you are not alone.

Good luck to you. xo
