CD 3 - A thread for people trying not to think about ttc!

[PocoHR]

Heya,

I am CD 3, have been off the pill since March and actively ttc since August. I'm 27, from the states, but now living in Europe.

I want to start a thread for people who are ttc, but also trying not to think about it too much. I plan to check in to bnb only twice a week, and give longer updates. If you share my approach, feel free to join my thread and we can do it together!

I want to try to be extra relaxed. I'm obviously, of course, still really wanting a baby, but at a place now where I can say "when it happens, it happens". And I'm trying to maintain this new attitude

I'd be happy to share this cycle with like-minded girls. So post your story if you can... happy cycling....

im always just keeping my eye on my cycles and stuff and then if i manage to find out im fertile (its always by luck..!) i really jump for it! otherwise i spend my cycle getting on with stuff and not paying too much attention, my real challenge is the tww..... x

 

[PocoHR]

The tww is the worst, I have to really put symptom spotting out of mind and remind myself of all the months I thought I was pg and it turned out not to be true.

I'm trying to just go with the flow and only allow myself to come on this site twice a week. Otherwise, I can easily get obsessed, and then when I don't fall pregnant, its much more crushing.

Anyway, I'll still update this thread if there is interest.

Im trying to take this approach again as last time when i ntnp i fell pregnant pretty fast... it is just so hard not to think about something you really want

 

[PocoHR]

It is sooo hard. And while I love bnb, I think it feeds my obsession, so I'm trying to limit myself a bit. What cd are you now?

Hey! I am on CD 3 as well. AF got me early this cycle. I've been ttc for 3 months now and have decided, like you, that it will happen when it's meant to happen. I'm going to try to be more laid back this cycle.
I went back to work last week so I'm hoping that along with my soon-to-be 1 year old will keep me busy enough not to obsess!

That is great Jodi!! How are you doing? And everyone else?

I decided to try acupuncture this month! So far, I haven't had any treatments for ttc, just one general balancing treatment. But, my acupuncturist has asked me to use ff and do charting, and once we see how my temp trends, we are going to perhaps try some more specific acupuncture treatments next month. She also put me on some herbs for blood loss, as I have symptoms of a low platelet count. She said that sometimes, just regular re-balancing treatments can help people fall pregnant, I hope it might work.

I am also taking pre-natals, and drinking grapefruit juice everyday....

Oh and I am buying lingerie for increased !!
