Trouble TTC

Crazy fears.......

Okay.  I'm embarrassed to admit this.  My husband and I are ttc after a round of Femara, I took the trigger shot yesterday morning, we BD'd last night...will BD again today and tomorrow....and I am like TERRIFIED to exercise today!  I workout every day, it's actually a part of my job, and I am AFRAID to move.  I just have this image in my head of like me jostling the sperm so that they can't reach my egg!!!!!!!!  It's not even a high impact workout or anything.  Ugh.  Is that crazy??????

  • @BWhitta LOL. Understandable.  I feel like I've read just about ever article about ways to help conceive and I remember reading how things like standing on your head won't help.......but I still seriously consider it about once a month after BD'ing.  It may be crazy, but no one ever said every thing a person fears would be rational.  :)
