I have so much to add, I hope I remember it all...lol...
1)Honeymoon Baby: My dh and I never had a honeymoon right after we got married. He is in the Navy and was in a different state than I was (this was after he had just been in Iraq for a year). After 1 1/2 years of marriage, we finally moved to the same state, bought a house, and two puppies (my avatar). And life just went on. We waited until we were married for 2 years to start ttc, thinking we were being smart...got the house, both have stable careers, money in the bank, etc. Here we are, over a year later, and no sign of bfp. So, I had been so depressed that we decided to take the money we had in the bank and go on our honeymoon (instead of saving the money for our baby). We went when I was ovulating in high hopes that there would be no stress and we would conceive on our "honeymoon". So much for a honeymoon baby for us
2)FB: I have just stopped going on FB. I can't take it anymore. I am happy for the lucky ones that get their bfp, whether trying or not, but for my own mental health, I had to get over my FB obsession...it was making me go crazy! In fact, my last post on fb was asking people to stop inviting me to that stupid breast cancer game that doesn't do anything to raise awareness for breast cancer. Instead, the latest one is about what you are craving and how many months along you are. Don't people have better things to do with their time? I posted an article with it that made a lot of sense.
3)Just Relax: I think this whole theory is bulls**t. I know stress affects your body. But they also say stress can cause heart disease, obesity, other health related problems. Let's face it, most people are stressed and still concieve. And yes, you do hear about people who "just relaxed" or were waiting for treatment, or weren't thinking about it and "fell" pregnant. You hear about it because it is so unlikely that it would happen. You hear about it because it is a shock to people. Just like you hear about miracle babies that were born months early. You hear about it because it was amazing. I've never walked down the street and heard people talking about how it was a miracle that Suzie had her baby 2 days late and it was a healthy 8 pound baby. You also don't hear that it was amazing that healthy John and Sue got preggo after a few months of trying. Because those things are what happens most of the time. You hear about the irregularities, not the normalcies. The things in the norm are boring and not much to talk about! Sorry for the rant, I just hate hearing the just relax, it happened for Bobby's sister's friend's aunt... So annoying. 90% of people are fertile and have their babies after a few months of trying. The 10% of us on this forum are struggling and in pain
I think that is it for now...thanks for letting me rant
