About ttc. We were going to buy a house and now we cant and I am stressed and we are going to be moving in 5 weeks and dont even have a aprtment picked oput yet. Plus I have put on so much weight. I just want to get down to a healthier weight before I have a baby. I am disgusted with the way I look. I dont even want to have sex sometimes because my self esteem is so low. Im stressed!!! Plus my periods arent irregular so I keep thinking I am pregnant when I am not im just like 5 days late and I am driving myself insane! I thought I was pregnant again and I was freaking out for nothing. I think thats when I realized I dont know if I want to go through pregnancy again.

Im confused. Help I need emotional support. Im having a quarter life crisis!!

Ttc is really stressful isnt it! It seems that you cant think of anything else the whole time! I know how frustrating it is when you are waiting and never get that postive answer. It definatly sounds like everything may be getting on top of you, and im not surprised it sounds as tho you've got alot going on at the moment! There is nothing wrong with taking some time out from ttc for a while, use this time to sort out the move and get that confidence back! You will probably find that when you start feeling calmer and happier your periods will return to normal.
Just try to remember you are a women in your own right and not just a machine put there to make babies! Just give yourself some time because when that baby does come along its going to need its mum to be happy healthy. Wishing you the best with the decision you make, and luck with the move. :)

I totally agree with jolie. I think that once you get everthing sorted you will be mentally ready to have a baby. As for the phsyical part, I am in the same boat as you. Since I have gone of bc I have gained about 15 pounds and I feel undisireable as well. But my fiance looks past that and we always try to make love making or baby making fun. Just remeber this, if you think you are sexy then you are sexy. Good luck and I am sending lots of baby dust to you and all trying ttc.

Lilly you just take it easy right now. Don't try just let things go for a while. I agree with what eveyone is saying. This is a stressful time and when you keep thinking you are preggo it is crushing when you find out otherwise. I just had an experiance that made me so depressed. I was supposed to start my period around christmas. On the 27th I took a preg test and it was - then about 5 hours later there was a pink line so I did another test the next morning and same thing. So I went and got blood work. By this time I had taken 4 tests. On the 31st I did my 5th test and the pink line came back within 10 min. I thought for sure my blood work would be but it wasn't. 6 hpt all said , blood work -. My period started the 7th of jan. Over a week late. Sorry so long but just know that I understand what you are going through and I will be here if you need to talk to anybody. This is the biggest emotional rollercoster a woman can be on, but we are on it together!
