TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[GoldenRatio]

I kind of see this time as an introduction to my child.....just stubborn and doing things on their own time.

I've had to give myself a talking to recently...I've made TTC and having a baby my everything and so now it has taken over my life and I'm not really living anymore. I'm desperate not to go onto antidepressants but I have started counselling. I am going down the SMEP and using OPKs everyday, but I have decided I have to keep living. I can't not do stuff because I 'might' be pregnant then!

We have to remember to keep living our lives whilst we are on this journey.

ahhh same here! i suffer headaches just so i dont hurt my possible baby with pain killer, i dont take hot baths anymore, i dont drink, i cant workout so intensely ....etc etc
Inositol supposed to help with anxieties and depression, if u wanna try but definitely try to take ur mind away from ttc.
Not worth losing happiness over

I'm CD10 so looking out for O. Lots of BDing!!!

Blue star, I agree you can't stop living just because you *might* be pregnant. I tried to cut back on things for a few months and it was making me more and more frustrated that I wasn't pregnant yet. So now I figure screw it! It didn't help anyway! I'm just going to live my life and not worry about it. I stopped using OPKs this month for that reason too! They weren't really helping and were just making me more anxious anyway!

I'm on CD 8 today, usually O on CD 12, so time to start getting busy!

Bluestar - consider anti-depressants. They changed my life, and my doctor is keeping me on them even during any eventual pregnancy.

Everyone - Only kind of catching up. I'm taking a break from the forums as well. Helps keep me from obsessing. I'll pop in and say hi, look at sigs to see where everyone is at, who is now pregnant. I've been much more productive since getting off the forums, and its greatly improved my mood.

you guys are great, but i gotta keep my job

Hi everyone, i got back my results from the doc. my hormones are ok and im ovulating. the test didnt confirm pregnancy though. but i still might be. so im on the look out for AF tomorrow.

 

[BelleNuit]

Fx that AF doesn't show TJ!

 

[GoldenRatio]

Good new TJ, at least u are ovulating! And u gave blood cd21 which is too early to detect pregnancy. Fx!

I did an IC this morning and I got bfn, I wasn't gonna test but I got fever last night and swollen throat so I thought baby is implanting and taking my immune down with it 8dpo is still too early I guess

Bad news AF is here, right on time. ooh boy.

its on to cycle 5 for me. i feel a bit better though bc i realise that for the past months i may have had a mild bacterial infection that i wasnt aware of. the doc said that may have been the reason why my CM was acting so weird. i did see some changes last cycle shortly after i took the fasigyn antibiotics.

so i actually feel that this cycle is my second REAL cycle lol. maybe the sperms were being killed off by the bacteria. who knows! i didnt cry or anything. but i did feel a bit miserable. but im good now

That's a good attitude to have. I'm considering this my second real cycle too, because last month was the first time temps confirmed O. I'm having CM problems too (never get EWCM), have you been trying anything to change it?

for the ewcm, im just trying the omega oils and evening primrose...based on what i see on the net. but the doc said there is no strong evidence that evening primrose helps. i dont think it hurts so i will continue. also im trying to take a multi vitamin and drink more water. i also started drinking a cup of green tea for the anti oxidants.

maybe that will help with my overall health.

You can try using pre-seed as a replacement for ewcm if you don't have a lot!

So sorry to hear AF showed TJ! But it's so good to get that infection cleared so that you can start fresh
