Keeping your mind off of fertility? Any suggestions

in TTC after 35

My weekend off of fertility and goal of getting a life is not happening so far.  I spent the morning watching Masterchef Australia, reading TTC blogs, and researching supplements.  I then went to Whole Foods and went to supplement section.  Last night was more successful with a foot massage and watching trashy shows before going to bed.

 Any ideas or suggestions on my quest of distraction? 

37, TTC since Jan 2011, ectopic 1 at 6 weeks Aug 2011, started acupuncture herbs Jan 2012, ectopic 2 at 6 weeks May 2012, next step referral to a specialist

    The best way is to keep yourself busy and be active!  I know it can be hard sometimes, but it does work for me.  Search for new & fun things (I do hot yoga and boot camp now!).  I recently started a volunteer work (https://www.volunteermatch.org) and it definitely gave me more positive energy Smile
