Well, we're trying... but I have pretty much given up. Now I don't mean that the way it sounds... I just meant I have let go and let God I guess. The constant stress was killing me... so, I just pretty much gave up the stress and if we have a baby, great! If we don't, we'll adopt in 10 years!

We're trying. It's wierd though, each mnonth when I'm not part of me is disappoimnted, but a part of me is relieved. I want children, but pregnancy scares me a little (a have a history of miscarriages, and don't know if I can handle another one). I'm trying not to stress out though, cause everyone keeps telling me that stress and worrying can hurt your fertility.

We're just starting TTC #3. It took 2 yrs. with our first son and 6 mos. with the second. I'm not looking forward to it because I hate the monthly stress of waiting for your period and hoping and praying it doesn't come. Then there's the big let down when it does. I'm going to try to be more laid back this time. Good luck to everyone.

I'm with ya there. I'd buy home pregnancy tests way too early, but then not believe them and get another one a few days later. I've spent a ton of money on those things. With my second son I tested too early so it was negative. I was convinced I wasn't pregnant so when I started feeling sick all the time I thought something was really wrong with me. I was freaking out until my friends made me test again. This time I'm going to TRY to remain sane.

Yep, I've been there too. Since the first baby wasn't supposed to happen (my thinking not Gods lol) I thought the second would be a breeze, just go off birth control and "poof" the baby will appear, it hasn't happened and I am starting to become quite depressed every time my period shows up.

This is where I am. Everytime right after I ovulate I go into full panic oh my god I'm not ready to be a mom mode!

Lol. I spent all of my first pregnancy in that kind of mode. If everyone waited until they were ready to be parents before they had kids, the population would die.

Ok, we have a thread for women who have already concived and that kinda thing, now I want to know, who here is trying to concive?

I want be "Trying" Until Seth is either potty trained or in grade school.
We are trying with #2. It wasn't this difficult w/#1. We are so blessed to have him. He is 3 now and we desperately want another. Each month is so hard. It's an emotional roller coaster. The thoughts of "maybe this month" are exhausting. I don't want to give up but I don't know how much more I can & should allow myself to mentally take. My husband is very kind about it but doesn't possibly know how sad I feel.
