Introduction!! Hey!!

TowerClimbersWife · January 2014

Hi Everyone,

I'm Cori. This month is my DH and I's first try at pregnancy (CD 9). I'm very impatient, so I know that I will need to harness every ounce of patience and peace I can during this process. Anyone have any good meditation suggestions? Also, any advice/words of wisdom are appreciated! We aren't telling friends and family about trying just because we don't know how its going to go.

Can't wait to get to know some of you more!

Cori

My only advice is to not focus as much on TTC as other areas of your life. Yes, it is a huge part or you right now, but if you let it consume you the joy of it is lost. Don't worry about timelines yet, just take it one cycle at a time and live your life outside of it.

Thanks! That is good advice. I'm in the consumed part. Hopefully I'll fall into more of a calm attitude as time goes on.

Welcome! I would definitely recommend FF, temping, and OPK's!

Welcome! I second the hot yoga, I love it for some meditation and "me" time.

Welcome and GL! I started temping and using OPKs this month and not only was it an eye-opener, but it really makes me feel more in control of what's going on with my body. This really helped take the obsessing down a notch for me.

Hey girl! Welcome!! This is our first cycle trying to. My advice would be to switch to prenatals, start watching caffeine, and work on modifying your diet to add in more nutritious foods. :-) that way when you're preggy you won't have to make changes all at once.

Welcome! Ttc can definitely try your sanity and patience! Try not to focus too much on it, find a hobby or something to work on too! Participating in the two week wait and waiting to O threads are helpful too. Like other pp have said, if haven't already, look into charting your basal body temp and charting. The book taking charge of your fertility is a great resource, and there are two apps I recommend - fertility friend, which everyone here uses, or kindara, which is what I use. They have great advice! Good luck!
