How do I calm down while TTC? I know no one has the answer but I'm starting to really freak out about TTC and then in turn stressing about everything else.

I work at a doctor's office (wellness/chiro clinic) and we are inundated with pregnant people and newborns. My sis is pregnant (I am extremely happy about this). I have a coworker who just gave birth and talks about baby and pregnancy stuff nonstop. One of my other female relatives is preg and has developed a total superiority complex. I am not even looking forward to hearing about this all the time. Am I a jerk? This is my 3rd cycle TTC and we timed BD perfectly last month and I still got AF. TTC is so hard for me mentally especially since I am a very typical Type A!

I just started TTC, but I'm doing my best to enjoy this time and not wish it all away. It could be our last year as a childless couple, and I don't want to look back on day and think 'I should have enjoyed the last of our time alone.' I think the key is to not make your entire life all about TTC. I just think of it as a wonderful new part of my life, while making sure not to forget about all the other wonderful things I already have around me - my fiance, our puppy, our trip to Iceland, running a marathon - life is great! This is a special and exciting time in my life, and I hope I don't lose sight of that. Besides, even if it takes a while to conceive, I'm sure having a lot of fun trying Don't know if that helps any...hopefully you can relax soon and enjoy the ride!

And no, you're not a jerk. In spite of myself I feel that instant twinge of resentment when I hear someone is pregnant, even if they're not in any way smug about it and I am happy for them once that twinge passes. It's human nature (woman nature at least lol) Don't worry
