Today’s the day…but now I’m nervous?

ADVICE

Hi there! I need advice!

My husband and I have decided to start TTC. This decision has come about after 7 years of marriage and the realization that we both picture children when thinking of our lives in the next 10-20 years.

We’ve discussed this virtually non-stop for the last month. Everything from potential names, schooling, hospitals, doctors, etc. You get the picture.

Today is the first day of my fertile window since the decision was made.

I’ve been excited up to this point (and delusional enough to think that I’ll get pregnant on the first try), but now I’m nervous! I think it stems from the fact that I’ve spent my adult life so far trying NOT to get pregnant, and now I’m doing the opposite.

How did y’all manage the mental shift?
