How did you manage stress while ttc?

Question

How did you reduce your stress while TTC?

I feel like all I think about is babies and I am an anxious person to begin with.

What do you do to take your mind off of babies, TTC, and the tww.

I feel like I may be sabatoging myself by being way to wrapped up in all of this.

Answer

I am going to keep tracking my BBT because I want that info in case any issues arise I can show my gyno.

Outside of that...I am going to try to be more "me" and try to act like I am aiming for "by next Christmas" and not "this month." Just try to eat healthy every day and exercise, walk my dog, read or crochet...you know...all those things we do to stay occupied.

Also, I am going to try to go to 1 yoga class a week and do at least 20 deep breaths each day with progressive muscle relaxation.

Lastly, during my TWW I am going to just ignore those pesky "symptoms" and go about my day...I am trying to establish a routine that I can carry over into that TWW window.

I'd also like to know! My DH and I are getting so sick of the pee on a stick reports and BDing on command feels like the opposite of enjoyable lovemaking. The TWW this month was a killer and it turned out negative :( I'd like to know how to reduce the stress next month while still keeping tabs on when I 'O'.

Answer

I workout like a freaking maniac lol. Im working out 6 days a week, an hour a day. It helps with the stress so so much. I know everyone cant do it, but if you can go for it!
