I waited a few months before I tried temping and then a few more months before I tried OPKs. I probably am stressing about it too much and maybe I will have to try to lay off for awhile, but that'll be really hard! LOL<br /><br />Thanks for saying that about Tyler. I feel like I have to justify it to some people because they act as though I should just be happy with what I have. I am! That doesn't mean I don't want another child to love and I don't see that as a bad thing. <br /><br />I'll let you know how it goes today. Thanks again for your support!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199324961244085710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081761016321383406.post-85243547964403094952011-06-28T23:13:49.824-04:002011-06-28T23:13:49.824-04:00When you decided you were ready to start trying fo...When you decided you were ready to start trying for another baby, did you immediately jump in to the charting and temp taking or did that come after it didn't happen as soon as you hoped? I only ask because I think all of that only adds to the stress of it all. I know there are women that swear by it and when you are looking at TTC forums, you see a ton of it. I always know when I am ovulating and have never done of that stuff. I just wonder if it would help if you didn't focus on all of that so much. I know, I don't have any experience with infertility myself (other than the fact that Will showed up 6 years after Alex and we didn't use birth control most of that time...but we weren't trying for a baby either), but I think it's an awful lot of pressure to put on yourself. I so want this to happen for you, Melissa, because when I look at my kids, I can only imagine how hard it must be for a woman to want a baby and not just have it happen. And you don't have to explain to me how much you love Tyler and how he is enough for you. I know that and I also know that one really has nothing to do with the other. Let me know what you find out from your checkup and I'll say a prayer for you. Hugs.Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153904036821739234noreply@blogger.com
