I have been off of bcp for about four months and my husband and I have been using condoms for bc. We plan on actively trying to get pregnant next month but I have this horrible fear/anxiety that I will not be able to get pregnant. It has gotten so bad that I want to just tell my husband forget it, let's wait a little longer, so I don't have to face getting my monthly. I just don't want to find out that there is some reason we can't conceive. My older sister just had a baby in January and now there has been this horrible pressure on us to produce the next grandchild. I don't want to disappoint anyone. My husband especially. I know that he has gotten another women pregnant before. (The pregnancy was terminated with both his ex-girlfriend and his agreeing it was for the best.) I know that he isn't nervous about this like I am. When I bring it up he just tells me he knows that he can get me pregnant. I usually just smile because I don't want to make him nervous too.

It has gotten so bad that my day is consumed by it. I can't sleep or eat without thinking- I won't be able to do this anymore but I am willing to accept the things I will be giving up for the joy that my sister and brother-in-law have with their daughter. Then this little voice pops up that says- Don't worry about it because you'll never experience it.

I have to add that there has never been anything medically wrong with me to make me feel this way. I just do. My obgyn acts like I am just silly and brushes off my questions.

Is there something wrong with me or do many women have this fear?
