I can relate. I've been TTC for a few years off and on. When I get obsessive, which I admit I have a tendency to do, it can be very hard to do anything but wait for that BFP.

I realized I was waiting on the BFP like it was a train- that if i wasn't sitting right there at the station that I would miss it.

I'm working on changing my thinking to wrap my head around the idea that the baby is going to develop or not no matter where I am or what I'm doing. I suppose you could say I take the train station with me :)

Sometimes I think 'this might be the last time I grocery shopped before I knew', or 'this might be the last time I can sit and sew in the quiet'. It helps make the moments BEFORE the knowing just as important to me as the ones that follow after.

You're definitely aren't alone in feeling 'focused'!

Well, I think you are starting to become a Mom.

I don't have kids yet, but I think when you are TTC or become a Mom your world changes anyways.

Maybe it's your own way of gearing you up to be a Mom and how much your life is going to change.

I think it's okay and maybe you will take up other hobbies, ones that include your future children.

Does that make sense? I hope so.

Good luck! And here's to change :)

Thank you ladies. This was my first time posting a forum topic and I'm glad I did. Your advice has been very valuable.
