Desperate!

[Krystal]

Gah!

I am desperate to be pregnant again but also desperate not to properly TTC I don't want to get obsessive over it (cos I will) so I haven't been taking temps, checking time of month etc

I just want it to happen - and I know I probably sound stupid but I am so scared I can't have a baby. I say stupid cos I already have 1!

The thing is I've had a few boyfriends since the age of 16, and they were all longterm and I never used contraception Occasionally I was on the pill but I was never very good at taking it. So if you take that into account I was having sex for 8 years before I fell pregnant.

Another reason I worry is because my Mam had me, then after me she wasn't able to have anymore kids. It was because she had blocked tubes ( or something like that ) so I guess that plays on my mind too.

I'm being silly I know, i'm truly greatful for Jack. I would just love to give him a brother or sister

I'm sure you will be fine hun!

We've not been using contraception since Jan last year (finishing elsewhere if you get my drift) and have had the odd slip up. It's only since I've been paying attention to my cycle that we've ended up pregnant twice in two months!

Perhaps don't go down the OPK route but just have an awareness of where you are in your cycle and ensure you BD on or near the important days (thats what we've been doing).

I'm sure it will happen for you hun

i dont mean to be rude but have u been checked for STIs? the most common one (chlamydia) can cause blocked tubes. i found out i had it back in 2003 (8 years after i lost my virginity, and had 13 partners all unprotected altho on the pill) and i was treated but boyf and i sposed to abstain from sex while on antibiotics but we didnt, we cheated anyway, bloody 4 years later discovered i still had the infection (symptomless all those years, the way i found out was that my baby had caught it during birth ) as they say it CAN cause infertility due to blocked tubes but i had it for minimum 7 years maximum 12 years and still got pregnant twice even on the pill. so dont worry, im sure u can have more babies but unless ur already sure i'd recommend u get checked and then if u are infected u can get clean before it does any potential damage to ur fertility. x

I wouldn't worry too much hun. I've been with my DH for 7 years and we've been having unprotected sex for that whole time and it wasn't until I started charting that we managed to finally do it at the right time and I got pregnant!!

If you are worried though it wouldn't hurt to go and have a chat with your gp and get a referral just to check all is ok.

I'm sure it'll happen soon for you

Thanks girls I'm just being silly. I'm a born worrier lol

Trix: I have been checked for STI's when I had some probles and everything came back clear (wll apart from abnormal cells) so I don't think it's that. Before I had the test I was always worried about clamydia though.

You poor love! I know how you feel. I've been promising myself I wont get obsessive especially as my hubby travels a lot and isn't always around at the crucial time... but every month I'm aware when we should be BD'ing, get depressed when we don't, and symptom spot from the moment I reckon I've O'vd!
