So june 1 2017 was the first day of period.. i took clomiphene citrate from June 2 to june 6.. we had unprotected intercourse on alternate days from june 8 to 18... now im very anxious about whether i am pregnant or not.. I'm very desperate to be pregnant. And because of that i think im imagining pregnancy symptoms.. how to deal with the anxiety.. please help me

I have been hearing a lot of stories where people stress while TTC and the minute they stop stressing and just let it be, they get pregnant. Just breath, and let your body do its thing. If you stress, you could just be making it harder for your body. Find something to distract yourself. A book, exercising?

I struggle with anxiety too. I've been putting my energy into doing things that will help in the first trimester if I do get pregnant. For example, with my last pregnancy, I had really bad morning sickness for the first 20 weeks. My poor husband had to eat canned soup a lot. So, this time I'm pouring my energy into stocking my freezer with freezer meals. I figure that even if I don't get pregnant I'm going to have plenty of evenings when I just don't feel like cooking a healthy meal. Good luck!
