Q: Biological Clock?

My husband and I have decided to wait at least one year, maybe two before starting to conceive. THe problem I run into... is every month during the time for lovely PMS, I am SO emotional and even anxious about getting/being pregnant - and cry when my period comes - still knowing it's best for us to wait. Doesn't that sound crazy?

Right now, it's especially hard and I don't know why. Is that normal? I feel not like my normal self and I just don't want to let this... urge... consume me - and my poor husband in return! Smile

The last thing I want is to ruin the experience when it finally does arrive.

Any advice is much appreciated.

It is SO normal to feel that way! I think we have all felt that way at one point or another.

There really isn't any advice I can give. You just have to do what is best for you and your future family. If that means you need to wait, just remind yourself of why. Or maybe you are at a place where you can talk to your husband again and move up that date a little.

I just wanted to let you know that it's completely normal to feel that way.

Are you taking preventative measures of birth control? Talk to your husband and tell him you are ready now. If you are worried about your biological clock - how old are you? Some women do experience perimenopause at an early age? Again, talk to your husband. Most men are reluctant to starting a family - it is an enormous responsibility, and they don't have that motherly instinct that we are blessed with. Good luck and I hope this helps.
