Question

AF shows AGAIN!

Just on a downer again. Had spotting the last couple of days and just knew AF was around the corner but didn't want to believe it. It's so disappointing.
How is everyone else out there feeling?
This trying to conceive takes it toll huh?
This cycle I am going to go easy on all the aids and stress of it all. Let myself actually enjoy life!!!! It sometimes feels like everything revolves around baby making and whats good or bad for you.
I'm going to just let anything happen this month. Still stay on the supplements and eat well but the occasional drinks are coming back. The organised sex is out the window and I am going to enjoy just going with the flow again.
Let's see just how easy this is going to be after months of rigid organisation! Hopefully the lack of stress will bring this baby dust all up and into my our home.
Best of luck to all you gorgeous women out there.

I know so many woman hate to hear this (I was one of them) but the one thing that honestly worked for me was one simple trick... stop trying!

Me and my husband where trying a few months before our wedding. I used ovulation tests, fertility lubricant, instead soft cups, Clearblue monitor, basal body temperature... I literally tried everything you could. I timed intercourse perfect every time and had sex every other day, if not every day. There was no way I couldnt get pregnant - it was fool proof.

Third month and after the wedding we had our honeymoon - three weeks in Florida. I swore I was not going to ruin my honeymoon with the TTC blues - after all, the months before where no fun. I had sex when I wanted to (TMI) and enjoyed it every time. I did not put TTC first. I relaxed, enjoyed my honeymoon and most importantly had fun.

I came back and a week later found out I was pregnant.

After that I swear by "not trying" to conceive. So next month enjoy it :D xx Good

Oh my goodness Mrs Jackson you have just made my day! That is such great news and gives me hope.
You are completely right though. I have spent the last 3 or 4 months feeling like I am in a TTC prison in my own mind. It's all I think about.
I am going to enjoy my life and stop putting pressure on myself to make a baby yesterday!!!
Thank you so much for your story and congratulations on your bubba. You really did make my day.
