Advice at its best!

leffe1leffe1
in TTC after 35

A good friend of mine at work told me that I will get pregnant if I stop thinking about it. Great advice don't you think! (sarcasm)

I know she is only trying to help!

 Sometimes you just have to laugh!

    I've heard things like that before and to an extent it can be true for some?I've read stories of women who gave up TTC and adopted a child and THEN got pregnant?but who can turn off their thoughts?

    Certainly not me.  And obviously not you, either, leffe1.

    And it's always easier for those who have children to say things like that.

    It's easier said than done, but in both cases worked for me (for both, I stopped charting/using OPK's, and stopped limiting myself because I might get PG).

    However, a big key to that was also having support of friends in the same boat and this board. That way, I could vent in appropriate ways, and stop some of the obsessing when I was with DH :)

    how about we all... 

    "just relax"

    "just stop thinking about it"

    "just get busy"

    I'll get right on that, thanks ;-)

    It's the major conundrum of TTC, those who want to conceive have lower chances than those that do not. Great!!! I would just say, "Okay, then let's stop talking about it so I can stop thinking about it!".

    I try to tell myself that all the time- relax, don't obsess, etc. It's a vicious circle though. My DH gets onto me for not being positive and stressing about it. He is firm believer in being a positive thinker. And yeah, people are just trying to be helpful; it's hard to know what to say. Good thing we have these boards!

    I was sooo sick of hearing that!  I will say that I decided to book a cruise to Alaska and started focusing on the trip instead of the "baby thing" and *poof*  I just found out I'm pg a couple of weeks ago.  Now, I can't go to Alaska because I'll be too far along, but it will always be there.  Not that everyone TTC should book trips to Alaska Big Smile but it felt good to get my mind off of it.  Good luck to you.
