TTC After a Loss
Advice!!
After our first month of TTC, we're getting a little stressed. My SO has two kids from a previous relationship and they weren't planned. I know that it could take an average couple a year or more to conceive. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on where to go from here and how to keep things alive in the bedroom.
We're in this together, and we couldn't be any more happy.

Relaxing as much as you can is very important for your and your SO.
Like the PP said, try not to involve him in any fertile window/OPKs, temping, etc. It does tend to give him unecesarry pressure and more stress.
Remember that sex is an enjoyable expression of love, not just a way to procreate. If you look at BD the same way as having sex just for fun, maybe you and your SO can enjoy each other much better.
Is the fact that he had two unplanned children adding to your stress? If so, why?
Since you've only been trying for one month, try to be as patient as possible. Believe me, I know it can be hard. I've been trying for over a year now.
Easier said than done, but the less you think about these things, the better it can be.
I hope this helps.
