Trying to Get Pregnant
Does anyone feel this way?
Hi, we are TTC #2. It's really cycle number 2 for us, but we had one cycle of not avoiding so I guess this could be cycle 3. Getting pg w/ #1 just happend--so now I get so down b/c it didn't just happen yet. I feel like all I do is think about getting PG. I don't remember feeling this way w/ #1. Everywhere I go someone is either PG or has an infant---and there is always some commercial/add that has to do w/ PG... Aghhhh I am making myself crazy.... I just started charting this cycle--so hopefully it will happen but who knows... Someone please tell me I am not the only crazy one on this board.. I think I should start working 7days/week so that while I am busy at work I am not thinking about this... Thanx for reading....

Re: Does anyone feel this way?
You are far from crazy. It seems to me all that I think about these days is babies. I seem to notice them more, talk about them more, etc... If anything try to find a hobby or something to do to take up your time and get your mind off of it.
GL!
You should get a hobby and some patience.
ETA: Please remember that you haven't been trying long at all. It can take a healthy couple up to a year to conceive. Patience will take you far in this journey!

I definitely know how you feel. Babies on the brain! I try to find other ways to occupy myself, but as it's been slow at work lately and there's nothing else to do... I know it can take awhile to get that BFP, but I'm hoping it happens soon or I might drive myself crazy, and drag my poor husband along with me. He's so understanding...
My question is, does the "obsession," so to speak, calm down the longer you TTC? Or is it like this the whole time?
You aren't crazy. And I totally disagree with "get some patience". Easier said than done! While yes, being patient will aid in your sanity (especially if it takes a long time) , it's ok to be disappointed if you don't get pregnant right away.
Lots of us have WANTED this for years, but only recently got to start to TTC.
You aren't alone!

Please come back and talk to me again if you happen to be here after a year. Patience and disappointment are two very different things.

You are definitly not alone! We're on cycle 2 (I'm not complaining) and I feel like I've become obsessed with every and anything baby. It doesn't help that my group of girlfriends all decided we were going to start trying around the same time and literally all 3 of them got pregnant the first time and are due around the same date, crazy and not fun for me. I just keep telling myself the stats, that it takes up to a year for a lot of couples and I need to be patient, but it's a lot easier said than done. I am trying to enjoy it a little more this cycle though and not freak out so much about it.
Unexplained secondary infertility...bleh. Gave it a few more tries and BFP on 3/31
#1 Beta @ 10DPO: 9 #2 Beta @ 14DPO: 194

I'm sorry, your definately not alone,
I have a friend who just found out she is pregnant, two others who found out they are having a boy/girl, I just through a baby shower for another, and another who just had a baby.
It is raining babies everywhere around me but not on me....darn it.
