Hi All,

I am new to the Glow community and I'm not normally one to post in forums, but I'm doing so because I know it will help me see that I'm not alone in how I'm feeling.

My husband and I just decided a few weeks ago to TTC. This decision has been one that I've been very anxiously waiting for. We've been together for over 7 years, and I've known that he would be the father of my babies since we met.

I am putting pressure on myself now, because being a mom is all I've ever been 100% certain of since I can remember. Every decision I've made in my life and career seems to have been for the purpose of raising a family.

Now that it seems like a reality, it all feels like its falling in place and my dreams are coming true. With those happy and excited feelings, The irrational/maybe rational thoughts and fears are also flooding in. Not to mention the anticipation and the feeling like time is going by SO SLOWLY.

I'm so nervous that I won't be able to conceive because I've had some irregular periods since I stopped BC about 8 months ago. I also have a history of a few ovarian cysts about 5-6 years ago.

I'm trying to play it cool and relax, because I know that it's literally just the beginning, but why is it so hard?! It's all I can think about.

I guess I'm coming on here to hear about similar experiences and advice, positive stories that might help me get through to my BFP and just overall support from my peers. I appreciate it in advance!
