I'm the same disco, sometimes I think of little else. I trawl the internet looking at new prams and cloth nappies and make plans for room decorating etc.
I'm not TTC yet either -------------

When I was TTC (before I had Michaela) when I saw a woman with more than one child my jealous side would flare up and I'd think about how selfish she was, lol, hogging all the kids. -------------

same here - don't sleep well - love looking at the baby stuff avaialble on the internet. Work has taken a back seat and my mind is a bit of a mush at the moment.
It is a save bet to say that ttc consumes your mind - hehe - I think we all have a case of ttc brain |

I can not wait to be in the position to start buying stuff and decorating the room. Also the idea of being pg fills me with a dreamy glow.
Just need to get pg first, if only it was that simple...ggrrr |

I think its very normal, I keep trying to find ways of being able to afford to start sooner. Its quite frustrating I'm supposed to be home studying for my exam tomorrow, and I'm getting distracted trying to work out when we can afford to start TTC.
We have an empty room at home now that our flatmate has moved out and I want to fill it with a baby. Anyway better go do some study, and stop thinking about babies. Doesn't help as I'd planned to start next Wed when I turn 35 but our finances are saying no we have to wait. argh! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

You may as well start trying fleury, it could take a while, and plus if everyone waited till they had more money etc etc then no one would ever have babies!! (well that's what I say to DH anyway  )------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

OMG I soooooooo hear you on this... I know women talk about baby-brain or nappy-brain but TTC-brain can be debilitating! 
I'm another that should be being industrious at work, but no, I find myself on here or daydreaming about being PG/being a mum - or lately because I'm newly an Aunty, I'm taking all my cluckiness out on my nephew.... and I haven't even met him yet, he's in another city - but when I do he'll have a sh*te load of knitted baby goodies!! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

my husband and i run our own business and well I'm not getting a lot done since we began ttc last month! its ridiculous!
between, making the decision to actually start trying, to then wondering if I'm ovulating, to then wondering if I might be pregnant to wondering if its AF coming or possibly implantation bleeding, I'm emotionally drained and its only the first month LOL! I have all the admiration in the world for those of you who have been trying for a while! disco

Yup totally agree. We would looove to be in a better financial position when we want to ttc #2 but we won't be. We will find a way to make it work, otherwise we would be waiting forever. |

I'm more worried it will happen straight away, I'd be more than happy to stop BCP and let things just happen. DH is always worried about how we will manage. I know we will as I've never been out of a job since I was 12, and I've always managed find extra income when I need it. At 35 its the health of my eggs thats the concern. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

DH was really worried about how we would cope before our "accident" happened. But once I was preggers there was nothing to do but make it work

As someone who has spent the last 14 months ttc, I totally hear you. It is all consuming!!!
Now that I have just got my bfp, I spend all the time wondering if its going to stick or not. Its such a long journey. Anyway, have been feeling fairly optimistic the last couple of days. ------------- 5x mc, Jan 08, June 08, Nov 08, May 09, April 11 http://lilypie.com">

I'm totally the same, can't think of anything else. I spend way too long looking on the computer at baby related things and trying to come up with new things that might help us conceive better. Then the TWW I'm a shocker, every month I say I'm going to relax and not worry about it but every twitch, ache or cramp is a symptom!
Hopefully we'll all get those long awaited BFPs soon and then we'll be even more obsessed! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

The whole TTC is part fun, part dire obsession lol First your AF seems to take ages. Then There's no point BD for a few days after that. Then you worry you haven't BD enough or at the right times. Then you wonder if FF got your ov date correct cos your BBT is a bit stuffed or you woke up a few times or the room is cold or you can't interpret your OPK properly. Then after ov, you're too knackered to BD. And then worry that you should have given it 'one more go'. Then the 2 WW take four times as long and you feel like you can't relax and have a drink in case it hurts your maybe-baby. Then you start getting PSN and dizzy spells and minor nausea and convince yourself they're signs you *never* get before AF arrives. Testing for your BFP starts at 10DPO. It's always a BFN but you tell yourself it's just too early. Finally, AF arrives a day early. Or a day late. Or not at all! Celebration! A BFP!!! Then you start worrying about having a sticky bean. Every twinge and cramp is over analysed...... and so it goes on......
lol just my experience of course! -------------   http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Hi guys, being fairly new to TTC I can agree with everything that's been said so far in this thread! TTC can totally consume ur life, some of it is good (like being able to chat with ppl from threads like this one) and sum aren't so good, like going thru the charting, waiting to ov, going thru the 2ww, then wondering whether ur strong enough to test or should u wait a little longer just in case AF is a day or so late? It's all an emotional rollercoaster at times, but I think that all the heartache, agony etc that we all put ourselves thru will be all 4gotten once we're holding our little bundles of joy whenever that may be! Hmmm... then we have to start all over again, when we try for the next baby lol  I'm currently waiting to test as today is the day when AF is scheduled to arrive, but for once have had NO signs whatsoever which for me is unusual!! Have been tired more lately (which I've put down to worrying about TTC) but have had a bit of soreness in the breast area. Still, am a little apprenhensive about testing! Seeing the BFN show up when testing is very heartbreaking at times, especially when others tell u how easily they got pg or that they weren't even trying etc!! Goodluck to everyone TTC and those thinking about it!

Hi Ladies,
I'm new to the forum having just posted in Pre-TTC and after reading all your posts I can see i might have a touch of the TTC-Brain hehe I keep looking at baby-related websites, baby names, all the cute little clothes and toys etc and being an interior designer I keep looking at our two spare rooms analysing which would be best for a nursery! The worst thing is that we aren't TTC until Oct next year as we are getting married in Feb and honymooning in May-Jun...I have so long to go!!! Was/Is anyone else experiencing TTC-brain so far ahead like me?
