I am clueless about what to do... I am literally changing my mind every few minutes about trying this cycle vs. waiting until next cycle. It's making me pretty stressed out today. I am hoping my mind will clear up in the next week as I wait to O.
Why am I so impatient? I think it might be because my doc wanted me to start tracking everything again this cycle, so I'm peeing on sticks and taking my temp again and it just starts to take over your life, you know?
I know I should wait... GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! I hate this!

Oh hope you can find a way to clear your mind and be more relaxed. I know that all that tracking can seem over the top, but it's important in figuring out where you are. It could be worse - I sleep with a BBT thermometer next to me and as much as I hate taking my temp rectally (yes, LOL - Dr said its more accurate) it's pretty much convinced me about my cycles going back to normal. Just breathe... 
and hope whatever you choose gets you that beautiful +

I know you and I are in a similar boat this month. I too have gone back and forth whether to go for it or not, and I only have a few more days to decide. My thought is there is no guarantee that even if we try that we will get a BFP, so we are going to try anyway. I've done everything I can to make myself healthy - taking prenatals and baby aspirin, limiting caffeine and alcohol, exercising, etc. so the rest is out of my hands.
I really hope you are able to make a decision and are able to relax.
Good luck!

As hard as it is, if your dr said wait, then wait. You want to make sure you are 100% ready for a pregnancy, I know for me I would be wracked with guilt if I did not and then something happened to the pregnancy as a result.

Go with your heart and u will make the right choice. I was in the same boat too this month and we ended up to preventing but not trying super hard either. Now that being said I wasn't temping or using opks either so I'm sure that makes it a lot harder 
wishing you luck whatever your choice

Consider it your last mental vacation before TTC craziness. I know we've all has months that we feel overwhelmed and have taken breaks, yours is just built in for you!
Try some relaxation... Meditation, fertility yoga, imagery or color therapy. It sounds hokey, but It has really helped me feel more relaxed and in control.
