Trying to Get Pregnant

No one told me...

That TTC was going to take up so much space in my head!!  Its all I think about every minute of the day, at least when I'm not distracted by something else, which is rare.  This is my 1st 2ww and I've never wanted 2 weeks of my summer vacation to go by so quickly...ever! 

I was just sitting here checking out strollers and travel systems on the Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us websites when I should be out and about enjoying the end of my vacation.  Btw, the Urbo stroller by Mamas & Papas looks very cool....but I digress.

That's it, I'm turning off  "Bringing Home Baby," going to get myself together, go out to get a mani/pedi, and will try my best to look like a normal person, and not a baby-crazed maniac.

Good luck to us all.

  • IMO it has gotten easier each cycle. My first cycle I obsessed. After that I have been much more cool about the whole thing. Now that I may have ovarian cysts, I am just trying not to worry about that. However, I won't find out for sure until Sept. 3.

  • Last cycle was my 1st cycle charting and I was totally obsessed. This cycle I've been more chill.  However, I'm now getting anxious of when I will O.  This wait is harder for me than the 2ww.

  • I think I can speak for many of us here when I say I feel your pain!  I am quite literally obsessed, and the fact that I know we have a "problem" makes me feel more obsessed.  I really just assumed I'd go off the pill and get KU right away because I always had 28 day cycles before the pill and always got my period on a Tuesday morning.  I never expected I'd be dealing with male factor infertility and because of that, I feel like if my cycles aren't perfect, we don't stand a chance, so I think that's putting more pressure on me and messing with my ovulation. 

    I hope your obsession dies down and good luck this cycle!  It's a hard thing to deal with!

  • I am in my first 2WW now too apparently. I'm proceeding with caution because I'm not confident anymore that I O'd when I think I did. I have a feeling those CHs might be taken away in a few days. Only time will tell. I'm really trying not to get too excited but dammit its all I can think about.

    Like you I have a week left before I start work again. I need to get outside and away from the computer.

    I agree! I am much more relaxed now then I was while waiting for O. We'll see how true that is around 10 dpo though!

  • I have the same problem. I point things out to DH and say how cute they are etc. This is my first cycle though, so maybe my obsession will go away with time. But I confess, even though I know in my head it wont happen this cycle, heck I don't even think I O'd yet and was on BCP for the first week, my heart still holds out hope that I can buy these things soon.

  • so true! the bump doesn't help, either...!

     it's my first cycle off the pill and it's odd to not know if/when your period will appear! I don't expect a BFP this cycle AT ALL but of course that little voice in the back of my head says "what if.." grrr!

  • I know how you feel, I am already obsessing and I am not even TTC yet (2 months 1 week and 3 days to go!)

    Diagnosed with Anti little c antibodies. DS1 7.11.11 - Anaemia and Jaundice. 10 days in the NICU, 1 exchange transfusion and 4 blood transfusions. DS2 29.8.13 - Anaemia 7 days in the NICU and 1 exchange transfusion. Both are now happy and healthy. 

  • Don't kid yourself, it gets worse. I think I get more obsessed about it as the cycles go by. It's hard not to be because your constantly checking every signal your body gives you. I just think I've become more aware of what's going on- that's my rational Smile
