Stress and TTC

in Success after IF

We're in our 2ww on a Femara + injects + trigger + TI cycle. We just found out at the end of last week that we're being terminated from our daycare and we have two weeks to find a new place (some BS about DS being difficult and an excessive crier when it's really her that can't handle multiple infants). It's for the best but now we're in a mad scramble to find new daycare by Feb 7. Obviously, this couldn't be worse timing and while we think we'll find someone this week, I'm still super stressed, particularly with having to make frantic phone calls as soon as DS and I get home and interview people in the evening almost every day this week.

How much do you think stress really effects TTC? I feel like I need to attempt to do something calming this weekend but can't think of anything that wouldn't cost a lot.

    I think it has absolutely no effect, except in rare cases where someone's stress affects their cycles. I know SO many women who got pregnant (via IVF, surprise BFP, etc.) during some of the most stressful times of their lives. Don't worry, this won't mess up your cycle!

    ETA: by "affect cycles" I mean if someone normally ovulates on day 14 but they are stressed and ovulate a couple days late or something, not cycles as in treatment cycles with controlled variables.

    I"m sorry you're dealing with that this crud piled up.

    You know what I would do? (well, I'd drink, lol. or go to acu daily) but dig around online and find a 20 minute meditation track or something. Just give yourself 20 mins a day (before work? before bed, whatevs) and just chill. I''m not one to sit still, but I have done this, I've recommended others to do this, and it can work. Can't do 20? do ten.  But I think that silence (and SHUT that brain down if you can, that does take practice) can help.  there should be plenty of free stuff online.  there might even be something thru resolve.org?

    Thank you for this! And it made me LOL because I moved my mouse because I view webpages in small windows and couldn't see the whole thing and it immediately said FAIL, too funny.

    My standard response to the "stress" factor is:

    "If stress prevented pregnancy there would be zero procreation in many parts of the world and none at all during war times"

    Stress can delay your ovulation but it will not inhibit implantation.

    If you triggered the ball is rolling and what's gonna happen is gonna happen.

     

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
