Over paranoid?

[a1b2c3]

Ok. So I was just having a nice relaxing hot bath, thinking about how unfair it is that we have not conceived etc when I suddenly had a rush of panic.... Should I be having a HOT bath?!

I know men are not supposed to but what about us? The sperm also has to live inside me? If I have a hot bath before sex or even generally could I be damaging our chances?

Needless to say I got out the tub pretty quick but ant insights on this us much appreciated! X

I've had the same thought during the TWW before... but to be honest We've been 'trying' for going on two years and you can't live your whole life not doing ANYTHING because it MIGHT be bad, at some point you have to quit and occasionally have a drink, or relaxing bath - I mean seriously. Afterall drug addicts go on to get knocked up easily and have healthy children, so I say take a hot bath now and again and enjoy. But. That's just my opinion.

I agree with fisher. I stopped drinking for like a year. Then I thought, this is stupid. I'm not preggo and I'm not getting preggo anytime soon, so I might as well try to enjoy life! Sometimes my concious gets in the way, but I try to do everything as I normally would (unless the doc tells me otherwise). Otherwise, I would go completely insane!!!

In fact, maybe we've all been playing it too straight and that's our problem... cocaine and prostitution anyone?!?!? (I jest, I jest)

Thanks all. I think your right. Maybe I need to try to relax a bit more.

Although I have to say, I was happy that I was not the only one who thought about the hot bath thing! X

 

[NavyWife84]

Oh, I definitely think about things like that all the time, but it comes to a point where I have to remind myself that so many people don't ever think of those things and get pregnant. A hot bath, an occasional drink, and a tuna fish sandwhich, etc. really aren't going to hurt my chances that much...the pcos will

Amen to that, sister!!

I just got my BFP last week and this was the first month i just didnt care. I even posted on another thread that if anyone wants to implant it will be against all odds
My implantation was on 7/8DPO. And from 6DPO i went crazy! Horseriding, lifting very heavy things at the stables, having a hot bath, drinking loads, cutting down the whole garden for the winter and bagging it all up! My whole body felt like it was breaking!

I am not going to tell anyone to do what i did and say they will also definitely get their BFP... Ive been TTC 24 months and know how annoying these things sound. But i just wanted to share...
I was also scared to sneeze in each of the 2WW so i totally understand how worriying it is!

Isn't it crazy what TTC does to us!?

 

[a1b2c3]

Congrats on your bfp Maria!

I must admit I haven't got to the scared of sneezing but yet!

Although I always do a bit of cycling on my back after bding! Lol. Deep down I know it's silly but I feel like I have too!

I do think relaxing is key, maybe I should just have a month and go crazy! . Maybe we all should! X

a1b2c3 - personally I realised that what's key is to do what feels right to you and not follow all the useless advice others gave me.

I tried so very hard not to do OPK, not to BD on a schedule - all that did to me was turn me into a nervous wreck! I felt more comfortable and confident doing 4 OPKs a day, having legs up in the air and using Preseed.

So if that is what feels right to you - please carry on doing it

My friend's just gotten her BFP (and was approaching LTTC) and this cycle she'd stopped avoiding stuff too. She's amazed she's fallen pregnant as she's been to a couple of weddings and drunk a bit too much, has been having loads of caffeine and just generally stopped avoiding the things she enjoys in life. And voila, she's pregnant.

I've slowly stopped avoiding stuff. I try to minimise my caffeine intake but that's slipping. I'll have a drink when I feel like it (I hardly drink as it is), I enjoyed a large camambert the other week. If I've got to stop enjoying life whilst I'm TTC I don't want to TTC anymore. I've just started my 14th cycle and I've had enough of walking on eggshells!

hahahaha! horse riding! just goes to show though none of this stuff really matters!

I have cracked and have to have a drink on the weekend...

I just try to remember that, even 100 years ago, women were drinking alcohol regularly, and that for hundreds of years women have been doing hard, physical labour before, during and after pregnancy.

Not that I'm a boozer, I only really have one, maybe two drinks and I only drink alcohol about once a month anyway, but I'm no longer restricting myself to have absolutely nothing.
