Is it REALLY worth it???

Question

Sometimes I feel like all the tracking, logging, and the apps just aren't even worth it. Does anyone else get crazy anxious and obsess over logging in their Glow, nurture, or other apps every day? I'm thinking about deleting an app or two. I would delete ALL of them but the community is the only place I can go to talk sometimes.

As if TTC isn't stressful enough, along with being broke all the time and crazy hormonal. I just think logging might not be useful at all. After using the apps for going on two years, I've pretty much seen every "insight" at least a dozen times, and I thought no it might be more trouble than it is worth because I think it adds anxiety.

I've had multiple MC's. When we found out we were pregnant in April I switched from Glow to nurture and added My Fitness Pal (MFP) to track my nutrition. When we MC'd in May I went back to Glow but kept logging in nurture and MFP.  Do any of my fellow moms who have had a loss and are TTC do this? There has to be a better way.  Should I just use only one app, maybe Glow, until we get pregnant again (IF we get pregnant again)?

Answer

I only logged and tracked in the beginning to learn my cycle. After that, I just paid attention to my fertile week and when my period was supposed to come. So I would know when it was important to have sex and I would know when to expect my period.

Answer

Logging really doesn't make you pregnant.. As long as you have sex every other day, you have just as much of a shot as the women who track. I like to track but if it's stressing you out, stop! Baby dust to you!

Answer

I've always been a fan of not actually TTC.  I know so many people who have stressed themselves into not getting pregnant only to get pregnant after giving up.
