First month ttc #1 and already obsessed!!

[RDH]

Hello, I am 29 and DF is 30. We are ttc #1 and this is our first month trying. Our wedding is next month but we decided to start ttc now just to get a jump start since it may take awhile from what I've read.

I can't believe how crazy I have been about all of this and it's only the first month. I started temping at the beginning of this cycle and I didn't even know what temping was last month, lol!! I can't stop looking things up online and obsessing over every little thing.

How do you ladies handle this?? Help, I feel like a psycho, haha.

I am 10 DPO, I think, (that is what Fertility Friend says) and I tested this morning and got a BFN. Every day is going in slow motion.

Hun I was in exactly the same position as you in April. Got married early this month. Started trying in April, was literally so obsessed with it all that I stressed myself out so much I didn't O. Don't make the same mistake I did. After a string of BFNs in April I thought 'sod it!' and so just lived my life, concentrated on the wedding plans etc. In May, O'd cd 18, had already BD on cd 16, thought, well, it could happen. Got my BFP on honeymoon. Now 5.5 weeks preggers. BEST OF LUCK, DON'T THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH, ENJOY YOUR HUBBY, IT WILL HAPPEN xxxxxxxxxxx

Lilac-Congratulations on your BFP and your wedding!! You're so right, I am going to try to lay off the obsessing this month and just concentrate on the wedding for now. AF came today and I feel like I have regained some of my sanity since my first TWW is over now. I think I am going to try a more laid back approach for now since last month I was a little scary, lol!

Hi ladies, gonna join you over here! nice to see we are all a bit loopy and its not just me! haha. i didn't know anything last month, but this month im temping, using opks, checking cm and all sorts of stuff!! crazy! sometimes i think i should just pretend i know nothing and just bd every second day (which we do most of the time anyway) to cut out the stress of ttc, but on the other hand I want to know what my body is doing so that I know if and when I'm o'ing! if oh knew how obsessed I was he would laugh at me!! lol. He knows im temping but thats about it!

Anti-
Hahaha, that's exactly what I did! The second we decided to ttc I became a woman on a mission! He was like "ok, let's just see what happens" and I was like "ok" (trying to play it cool). Then I turned right around and bought OPK's, a basal thermometer and researched every last site on the internet I could find about TTC, lol!! It's so easy to become obsessed because as soon as you make that decision it all of a sudden becomes so important to you. Even if you didn't even think about it the month before! Good luck to you, hope you get a BPF this month!

Haha. Exactly!! My oh said 'if it happens it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't' bless him. Think I've gone overboard!!! Will see how it goes though. I'm not stressing about it, just getting a bit too into it I think!!

I wonder if the excitement/anxiety/obsession wears off after a few months of trying. Although I am hoping that we get pregnant ASAP (Cycle 2) for us, I hope that if we don't and as time goes on, my excitement settles down a bit. Right now I am always on this website, always looking up random things about TTC on the internet, and worrying about every single symptom under the sun!

.... sigh....

I agree with emz u do sort of get used to it. This site is amazng but it does get u addicted! So much help and info tho. And lets admit it, its fun. We love obsessing! Hehe...

Karenlyn, thats hilarious... Every 5 mins lol. I have also checked at work like someone else said. Its strange, i dont think about ttc at all at work, and im a nursery nurse! The kids kep me far too busy i think. Occasionally if i am in baby room a thought or 2 might enter my mind...lol.x

Congratulations on your BFP, Lilac! How exciting.

I'm onto cycle 2 now (yep, AF got me) and feel much calmer about things than I did last cycle. This AF was so, so, so light that I feel really sure that I didn't ovulate at all last cycle-- which means this cycle could do anything! A lot of women have looooong second cycles after going off BCPs, so if I don't settle down my head might explode from it.

That said, I have added temping to the list this cycle, haha. My husband hasn't noticed yet but when he does I know he's going to look at me weird that I've added another to the list of obsessive sh*t I'm doing!

Hi, first post for me. I had my implant removed on 14th June. Me and DH are desparately TTC. Haven't had AF yet, but i never had one whilst i had the implant. Been doing OPK's every few days, but so far just BFN's. I think it's just the hormone changes, but i have had some symptoms such as tender breasts, bloating, mood swings etc. I did a hpt last saturday but not sure if it was too early to be acurate. I'm trying so hard not to stress or become obsessed, but it really is all i can think about! I've started trying to get my body ready, cut out caffiene and alcohol (i used to drink plenty of both!) eating more healthily and taking a pre pregnancy vitamin supplement. We've only been TTC for 2 weeks and already it feels like forever! Hopefully this forum will help me, knowing that all you lovely peeps are going through the same as us! Loads of love and luck to you all xx

Oh my gosh! I can totally relate!!! This is my third month TTC... I am obsessed with this! I have wanted a baby for so long. My chest hurts when I see babies and children. ALL of my friends have children... I am not exaggerating. Our dear friends just welcomed their forth. I have always been terrified that I would not be able to concieve. My husband has only one functioning testicle... I have struggled with so many health issues. I just pray that it happens soon. I wish it would happen and I WISH I could stop obsessing and just let it happen. Type A! haha
